Looks superficially like a great story. Thicko bumpkins vote for leave and it’s totally self sabotaging.
But then you actually read the story and it’s a local news story generated by a group of independents on the council attacking the ruling Tory Council for not getting a bid in for the matched funding. Tories reply stating that they plan to bid for £700m over the next period….

It doesn't seem to be anything to do with match funding. The government has decided that the replacement finding programme should start as a pilot with only a token amount of funding available. So Cornwall is initially only able to get a tiny amount at present. They are hoping to get more starting in 2024, but still substantially less than they got from the EU.

Thats not quite true either. Firstly the article states that Cornwall ‘could have got £100m’. We can only guess at how the independents arrived at the figure (by guessing I guess).
Secondly, the Shared Prosperity Fund was never designed to directly replace the EU scheme so like for like comparisons are going to require some detail and evidence.
Quoting directly from the HoC Research Paper “The Fund will be in two main parts, largely covering the main areas of responsibility of the ERDF and ESF. The first part will cover investment in ‘people and skills’ (for example, work-based training), ‘communities and place’ (such as cultural and sporting facilities or town and neighbourhood infrastructure), and local businesses. The second part will be targeted at employment and skills programmes for those facing barriers to participation in the labour market.
• The first part of the Fund will be allocated based on achieving specific outcomes and agreeing investment proposals.
• Some of the Fund will be targeted at “places most in need across the UK”.
• The total amount of funding made available will “ramp up” until it at least matches “current EU receipts”.
• The investment framework governing the Fund will be announced in spring 2021, and funding for the portion of the Fund targeted at the places most in need will be allocated at the next Spending Review (presumably also in 2021)”

Well done. You remember cat good.
I think EE were the first mobile network to announce they will reintroduce roaming charges (£2 per day to use your UK allowance). They're just not implementing it till January 2022.

I certainly find it puzzling that although we're repeatedly told supermarkets aren't able to keep shelves stocked with essential goods, they seem to have no problem sourcing a variety of signs blaming the shortages on Brexit

I'm not a Lidl regular (there isn't one near enough for me to have bothered trying) but the colours look more Tesco-ish, and the lower case i with the curl at the bottom doesn't match the typeface on the 'self raising flour' sign.
possibly a faked photo, possibly a sign that was genuinely seen in a Lidl but had not been placed there officially...

Interesting article. Makes some good points.This is excellent stuff, and the type of welcome reflection we need from Remainers. Bloodworth, who if I remember used to be in the Socialist Organiser before going on an identarian journey, voted Remain and, by any measure cannot be confused with a leave supporter:

From one end of the supply chain to the other, the UK's food producers have endured a summer of trouble.

Maybe the angry farmers could drop a dead cow on to Tim Leinig from a great height or something like that.This is not news but i missed it at the time and think it's interesting:
There's a man called Tim Leunig, eccentric academic economist & old friend of Cummings. He has a job in the government as 'Economic Adviser to the Chancellor'.
In emails that got leaked early last year, he opined that it would be perfectly fine if the UK just stopped having an agriculture sector and instead imported all of its food, like Singapore, saying "the Food sector isn't critically important to the UK, and agriculture and fish production certainly isn't." The leaks embarrassed the gov a bit but he's still there, advising the treasury.
Even in their angry response at the time, the national farmers union rep says "Clearly, there is a cold economic case but.. "

"while the EU was based on learning the lessons of centuries of conflict within Europe that culminated in the Second World War, and gradually also came to incorporate the collective memory of the Holocaust into its narrative, “pro-Europeans” did not even attempt to learn the lessons of what Europeans had done to the rest of the world and never had anything to say about the history of colonialism.."
The thing is though, as he himself says, the 'anti-european' forces that are setting the agenda now, as Europe becomes more "embattled" - they're coming from the right, from anti-globalisation nationalisms, anti-muslim, anti-immigrant etc, so instead of being more internationalist and less ethnocentric they're the exact opposite of that. I think he has a point, but it would be an absurd misreading to come away thinking, yeah, the European project is racist so anti-european forces are less racist. Out of the the frying pan etc.

or you could have a google and find that it's the average of what the Eu has sent to Cornwall over the past 15 years.
