    That you 'didn't know enough about it' didn't prevent you and millions of others (my eldest and daughter-in-law are 2) just waiting for something, anything, to go wrong and jump on the blame Brexit bandwagon. Which were you incompetent or lying?

    I think the Govt might claim they did reduced fuel prices by being the first to introduce a price cap (Labour idea.) Blaming the govt in these extraordinary times would be like blaming them for the economy struggling after Covid.

    It actually wasn't me, or any other Remainer, that brought Brexit into the energy prices debate. It was Boris Johnson himself.

    So, I'm really struggling to see your point.

    The Goverrnment told us explicitly we would have cheaper energy prices because of Brexit. I'm asking where our Brexit benefits are just in relation to this particular example. That's a fair question.

    If Brexit won't reduce our energy bills, as we were promised, then why not question that?

    By the way, your eldest and daughter-in-law sound quite intelligent. They are questioning what benefits we were promised compared to what we are getting, from this Govt and our Minisiters. Instead of making excuses trying to justify this God awful mess we voted in favour of. Sounds like you should consider their way of thinking to me.

    The cretinous nature of your last paragraph has decided me not to continue this 'debate.' You'll be telling me next I'm stupid,racist, and evil!

    Feel free to continue to bury your head in the sand and make excuses, all in the name of your political ideology. And then because you can't justify anything with reasoned debate, pull out the old 'you just think I'm stupid, racist etc...'

    I'm just asking a fair question, which no one can answer.

    Enjoy those Brexit benefits of yours.

    Why can’t you just debate and not name call Mick?

    And one final thing that does my absolute t1ts in, is the government getting a free pass on the economy because of Covid.

    They advocated and put us through this damaging Brexit mess. They decided to spend £37bn on a failed track and trace system. They are responsible for giving their friends PPE contracts that cost the country billions.

    Covid does not absolve them of all fiscal responsibility for damaging decisions they have taken in the last 18 months.

    They are a disgrace of a Government.
