Just had a look at Twitter for the first time in ages. Wow, every 4th post now seems to be an ad for some crap gadget that probably doesn't even exist.

Sophy Ridge, "What impact has leaving the EU had on growth?"
Emma Reynolds, "It's been difficult.. We didn't have an oven baked deal.. It was pretty raw in the middle.. It's a botched Brexit deal.. It put up barriers"
"I don't think it has had an overall benefit to growth"

I've become slightly obsessed with anachronyms; words that are used in an anachronistic way, by referring to something that was appropriate in a former time.
E.g. to clock in, to film something, to hang up the phone, to dial a number.
I've collected a list.

Anachronyms are words that are used “in an anachronistic way, by referring to something in a way that is appropriate only for a former or later time.” (Source) I chanced upon the term through a Reddit...

That is why I am calling on the Government to negotiate this year a brand-new deal with the EU.
Not just tinkering around the edges of the Conservatives’ botched Brexit deal, but agreeing a better deal for Britain. A deal to form a new UK-EU Customs Union by 2030 at the latest.

Tomorrow's Independent front page revealing Brexit's catastrophic cost - five years after the UK left the EU.
- New bureaucracy
- Weaker UK exports
- Labour shortages in key sectors
- Less cash for public services
- Huge divorce bill
- 15% long term hit to UK trade
This is the price of populism.

👏 ‘man in red jumper’. Spoken with the clarity many QT panellists could only dream of.
"Migrants, illegal or legal, weren't responsible for austerity. That was the Conservative government. Migrants were not responsible for Brexit. Migrants were not responsible for Liz Truss' failure of leadership."

Is there a more pointless programme than BBC Newswatch? Seems to be a platform for old moaners with too much time on their hands. A BBC spokesman said blah blah.
