This says it all about the mis-management of the last three years.

Out of the many skits on the Brexit 50p, this was my favourite, just set your own date.

This is the design that has been withdrawn, but featuring the ‘rather die in a ditch’ date of 31st October 2019. Yes let’s not forget there were another 10,000 ‘collector’ coins recycled last March. A Treasury spokesman said: “We will still produce a coin to mark our departure from the EU.” Pure hubris.

The Get Ready for Brexit on 31 October ad campaign has already cost £100 million.
