He's right. But also: this was exactly how some of us warned the Terrorism Act 2000 would be used when it was passed, by the government in which Peter Hain was a minister. He and all the others either ignored or dismissed our warnings. It's very frustrating.

Just painful the time and energy that needs to be spent in order to glacially edge towards better terms with the EU…to get back, bit by bit and so slowly, what our govt threw away in its rush to pretend the EU was to blame for its own failures. Chipping away at an endless debt to the truth. (iPaper)
Headline: cheaper food a long way off as Brexit reset stalls. 


Extract: Sir Keir Starmer's promise that his
Brexit reset will lead to lower food prices will take years to be met, UK and EU sources acknowledge - amid fears "momentum has been lost" in the era of closer relations.
