"Unmitigated Disaster"
MPs have debated the consequences of Brexit for the first time since Britain left the EU. Resulting in the verdict that it was a Disaster.
And that Brexits's impact would be greater than the Pandemic.
The Economy is not growing , The Brits rights and protection are being challenged ,and Britains standing in the world has fallen.
.All this just to have a crown stamp on a beer glass... Was it worth it.

Yes, fire the Remoaner Blob that are holding us back and get on with taking advantage of being out the EU.
The only problem we have is the Blob and a ultra liberal Government.
But one thing I am sure you will agree is a benefit of leaving and that is the useless Government can no longer blame the EU for their failings.

//Was it this debate? It's the only one I can find recently//
Yes, that is what Gulliver is referring to. The transcript is contained in pages 45-67 of yesterday’s “Hansard”. It was prompted because an online petition, garnered 178,000 signatures. Its proposition was this:
“The benefits that were promised if the UK exited the European Union have not been delivered, so we call upon the Government to hold a Public Inquiry to assess the impact that Brexit has had on this country and its citizens.”
//Resulting in the verdict that it was a Disaster.//
Not quite. As you can see from the above proposition, that was not its purpose. There was no vote and no such "verdict".
//At least our MPs now appear to acknowledge what an absolute disaster Brexit is for the UK – perhaps they will now do something about it.//
Depends what you mean by “our MPs”. The entire debate, such that it was, consisted mainly of a three hour whinge-fest of MPs, eager to tell the nation how many of their constituents have failed to adapt to the requirements of Brexit. I’m surprised Hymie and Gulliver were not invited because essentially the majority of MPs invited to speak simply droned on in a similar fashion to the questions they pose on here. That’s all it was. There were about 25 MPs called to speak and with just three exceptions, they all were obviously avid and discontented Remainers.
The only vaguely constructive contribution from that side of the debate came from Stephen Doughty (Cardiff South and Penarth) (Lab/Co-op), who said this:
“We want to focus on some of the most important tasks today: making our relationship with the EU work; growing our economy; defending our security; and tackling common challenges, from energy to climate change. We will not seek to rejoin the EU, the single market or the customs union, but it is imperative that we make our future relationship with the EU work,…”
So, not unusually, the headline to this question is completely at odds with reality.
The resolution at the end of the debate was “That this House has considered e-petition 628226, relating to the impact of the UK’s exit from the European Union.” So not quite as advertised, and, IMHO, a complete waste of MP’s time.

Actually NJ is always telling us nothing of the sort. All NJ is saying is that he is deliriously happy because the UK is no longer a member of the EU. He's not over fussed whether, as a result, the UK is a paradise on Earth or not. It wasn't whilst we were in the EU and I see no reason to see why it should be now we've left.

I'm still waiting for the long overdue EU Audit reports that have not been disclosed. Considering we paid a larger club membership because we were told we were a rich country. I suppose now we have left it explains why the French are re-enacting the French Revolution on the streets as we speak. Macron has not the funds to pay his pensioners :-) Meanwhile all those motorway standard roads newly built on the small Isle of Malta will decline into potholes as ours have done.
//is there an urge to rejoin the EU generally?//
Heck No. Not in my camp. It took a long time for us to be conned into joining this mess by Grocer Heath with promises of wine lakes and butter mountains etc. I wish De Gaulle had got his way and refused us entry in the first place. It wasn't called the European Union then.
It was hard to get into and this country will not regain it's status overnight but it is still worth us getting out so we no longer subsidise Europe's mess
