Secretary David Davis promised us in 2018 that leaving you you wouldn't lead to a mad Max style dystopia.

So tonight we're asking, How was Britain coping beyond the Thunderdome?

Transition words & phrases

Although Kathy Lovell said, Maybe I show should be called the first leg of the new U K out on a limb way feeling how we feeling this way?

Pretty disappointed, really, if I'm honest, because I well, I was under the impression as soon as we left the you would be like a shitload of riots, looting and stuff.

I asked for loads of right gear for Christmas, right?

And I've already taken the tag off my cat of nine tails.

I'm feeling brilliant, partly because I've started tucking into the medicine that I've been stockpiling.

I'm absolutely, but I feel like I feel like I've come to the end of a long term relationship.

But I'm now on my own, mainly because I've got a completely new look.

Is it okay that Boris has gone full on Trump and banned reporters from briefings hashtag the last night.

Now a whole bunch of journalists went to a briefing at number 10 this week.

This is kind of a whole new world for us.

We were wondering what's gonna happen with this new government?

The journalists were told only some of them were on the invited list, though is not on the list, including Jonas from the Mirror.

The Independent having to post were told to stand on the opposite side of the foyer from those who were invited.

And at that point, those on the list, including the BBC's Laura Kuhns Berg Robert Peston, boycotted the entire briefing in Solidarity.

Now the government said there was nothing unusual in what went on and that I strongly supported free press.

But the press clearly didn't think that, which is why they all walked out together.

And I think that was exactly the right thing to do, because like if you guys were invited to cover the Tokyo Paralympics this year but I wasn't there's no way you'd go right 1,000,000 nor Kononsberg, very different people.

I genuinely give my real leg for that weapon thing.

I think I would have done the same in sense that if someone said to me, Do you want to not work?

Yes, I will be showing solidarity in the pub from midday.

I think is probably it was our 50% solidarity, 50% off.

Also, you know, supposing in other countries journalists being lined up against the wall ends up a lot worse, like those journalists have hard done by this journalist in North Korea.

So the government lined you up against the wall and then just said, Go on, person sent to divide up.

The journalist was the prime minister's director of communications.

So wise bar suddenly attacking the press.

Well, there's a strain of politics called populism.

And if something Donald Trump's been using for the past few years now, the came moves of populism are talking your own unique and supposedly genuine way, you know, like well, yeah, they're staffing money against walls and playing with laughter.

Make out you're on the side of the people against the elites.

Maybe call yourself the people's Parliament.

And the third thing you do is attack the press, because if they can't hold you to account, nobody can.

Trump's been doing it for years, and now Boris is following suit on the puppet master.

Behind it all is a guy called Dominic Cummings.

He basically wants to rip up the current political system and doesn't care if it's with the Tories or Labor because he's not a member of either party.

He came up with the famous three words Slogans Get Brexit Done and Take back Control.

And he's reportedly recruited spies in restaurants around Westminster to Dobby.

In any political advisors caught dining with journalists.

That's that is mad spies and restaurants.

Yet bet Prince Andrew wishes that have been won in Woking story.

It's a low moment for a spy when your job is just a sitting, ask and wait for Michael Go WTO walk in.

And if people are cheating on their diets, so to sum up all of that, that's gone on this week, Boris Johnson, as advised by Dominic Cummings, used a communications adviser who used to be a chicken to try to divide the prince.

Eso Steph Show starts on Channel four and win win House Brings are not long now.

As a journalist, how do you feel about the way Boris Johnson traded the press this week?

It's really appalling that this can happen, isn't it, in this day and edge that people can be told that they don't have to answer to some of the press?

The only answer to the ones that they think will be more favorable?

 It just sounds like such a collective pleasure, and it isn't.
