Nobody in their right mind ever believed that. P.s. still waiting for someone to demonstrate just one Brexit benefit!

I’m sorry. Denmark, the Netherlands and Ireland followed the UK out of the EU!? This Hannan fellow better look over his shoulder again.

Hello from the future. I am posting this from 24th June 2025. You are hilariously wrong.

Brexit was a disaster that cost the country countless billions, and the costs keep piling up.

Food prices went up.

Immigration went up.

Energy prices went up.

The NHS never got its £350m a week Brexit bonus.

We almost lost our steel industry, but it was saved by a last minute intervention by a competent Labour government.

Our universities are dying, international student numbers are dropping, and without the money they bring our universities are struggling to fund research and education. Brexit tarnished our international reputation, and the Last Tory Government™ implemented policies hostile to international students. This double-whammy repelled the kind of immigrants we want, the studious, the hard-working, the kind that would actually benefit us economically. Simultaneously the Last Tory Government™ allowed small boat crossings to explode out of control.

There are no celebrations. No fireworks. Only tears.

Now excuse me while I eat my chips – just chips – because cod is now a luxury few of us can afford. You see, even our national dish didn't survive Brexit, it was one of the first casualties.

Yes, it's uncanny in how inaccurate it is about Brexit.

Genuinely impressive how one single human being can be so spectacularly wrong about everything. Daniel Hannan is genuinely one of the dumbest humans (nay, mammals) to have ever managed to somehow survive infancy.

Remember this guy standing up in the EU and giving his smug speeches.

What a mess he has caused along with farage and boris the monkey.

No fireworks but you are being ridiculed on YouTube by 'A Different Bias'

I'm really looking forward to the fireworks tonight - what an incredible 9 years it has been! Not sure whether to go in the flying Delorean or by hoverboard.

This insufferable little twerp was made a Lord. Probably by Johnson.

The 5 factions of the Tory Party all double-crossing each other to sell the dream. The lies, the lies, the lies - they will live on, long after all these shysters are dead.

This puff piece is utterly ridiculous. We are poorer, more divided than ever in my long lifetime, with gaps on supermarket shelves and poor quality produce - poor because it degrades during the time it waits at ports. Our waters are full of sh#t and we have the most expensive energy in Europe. We are a laughing stock but malevolent idiots like you deliberately ignore the damage you inflicted on our country.

I thought I was reading an ironic piece of writing... Until I saw the date! Oh well, I'm just a derailed European, after all.
