Looking forward to giving Mr Barnier some fantastic products from Britain including some British wine and gin




As anybody who's watched Masterchef knows, it's all in the presentation:



Everyone's a critic nowadays:

@rosscolquhoun

So far EU leaders have struggled to take the UK's calamitous approach to Brexit seriously. It's hard to believe that someone sat down and thought, "You know what'll make them take us seriously? A basket of cheddar cheese."

@jimwaterson

Pro-Brexit campaigners present a basket of British goods to Michel Barnier. PG Tips and Marmite are made by anti-Brexit Anglo-Dutch company Unilever, Hendrick's is produced by a business that's concerned about Brexit hitting sales... it's not hard to check is it.

BArnier appreciated the Brexit hamper, his adviser tells us that the cheese had EU origin protection mark, marmalade the EU organic mark


Mark Stone ✔ @Stone_SkyNews

It’s worth noting that Hendricks owner (William Grant & Son) have their international marketing arm in... Dublin... and PG Tips / Marmite are owned by an Anglo-Dutch company (Unilever) who have warned of the negative effect of Brexit. Not sure about Winston or William.

.@MichelBarnier liked 🎁 a lot: Pinot Noir, Dorset cheese w/ #EU protected origin, marmelade w/ EU organic logo; + he just saw Darkest Hour
