When Britain voted to leave the European Union, Brexiteer and former business secretary Andrea Leadsom said she wanted to guide Britain to the “sunlit uplands” of its post-Brexit future.
She has since described the costly new checks imposed on imports from the EU as the “price you pay” for Brexit, adding that “leaving the single market was always going to have implications”.
And last week in post-Brexit Britain left voters wondering just when those sunlit uplands would be seen.
Millions of Britons are now barred from entering the EU by post-Brexit passport rules that are set to cause chaos over the Easter holidays.
Drivers hoping to enjoy bank holiday getaways faced up to 20-mile-long queues on major motorways as well as two-hour delays at the Port of Dover.
And an army of furious farmers descended on Westminster in tractors to protest post-Brexit rules and trade deals that they say are endangering livelihoods and food security.
If the chaos of the past week is simply the “price you pay” for Brexit, voters could be forgiven for thinking they are getting a raw deal.

Armed Shiite factions of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility early Saturday for an attack on oil refineries in Haifa, northern Israel.
The announcement came via a statement on their Telegram channel, claiming that the "mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq" launched the attack using drones against refineries located in what they call "our occupied territories."
The Iraqi armed groups emphasized their commitment to continue attacking "enemy positions" as part of their resistance operations against the "occupation" and in support of the Gaza Strip.

The United States and Israel governments are anticipating that Iranian forces are getting ready to take retaliation actions against Israel after the Iranian consulate was hit in Syria, where at least seven Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) military advisors, including generals Mohammad Reza Zahedi and Mohammad Hadi Haj Rahimi were killed.
According to CBS News on Friday, US officials admitted Washington collected data that shows Iran's plans to use drones and cruise missiles "likely between now and the end of Ramadan next week" against Israeli diplomacy.
On Thursday, National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby said that President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "discussed public Iranian threats against Israel and the Israeli people."

Stockopedia comments....(illuminating)
Paul’s view - this heart valve materials technology sounded vaguely familiar, and it turns out thisRua Life Sciences (LON:RUA) , which I remember from old. Several generations of investors have become excited, then disappointed, with its failure to commercialise what sounds like interesting technology. It floated on AIM in 1997, amazingly! I wonder how much the listing costs, and Directors fees have been over the past 27 years?
It’s making some positive-sounding noises today, so who knows, maybe it’s making some commercial progress at long last? The recently raised cash pile means that we don’t have to worry about solvency for the time being, with maybe 2 years’ cash in the bank? There does seem to be something interesting hear, but people have been saying the same thing for the last 27 years.
A sharp move down on the S&P500 last night in a roller coaster day. Initially went up strongly and then moved from 5,258 to the rising trend support level of 5,147 (down c2% intraday) ahead of jobs data today. This was the largest down candlestick for a long-time. Could be a bumpy couple of days if it falls any further, as suport levels below this are 4,600 (-11%) and 4,100 (-20%). Ouch!
Given the vertical ascent of the S&P500 for 6 months driven the Mag-7 (now Fab 4) its likely to be even more dramatic on a correction in my view (i.e. up the stairs down the escalator). I get the feeling that this run is coming to an end (before we get to the summer) given concerns over whether the Fed will be able to reduce rates, gold soaring and the 10-yr having moved from 3.8% to 4.3% this year. The market is hinting to the Fed that rate cuts are not yet needed in the US given the strength of their economy driven by Biden's deficit spending.
This is something to watch closely as UK shares will also be heavily impacted if this corrects.
