The National:

BREXIT is the gift that keeps on giving - if you’re Liz Truss.

If you’re not fortunate enough to have found yourself promoted well beyond your abilities all the way to Foreign Secretary, and now the Brexit brief as well, you might not have such a fond view of it.

After all, it has led to widespread shortages, hit the fishers across Scotland hard, and left the hospitality, agriculture, and haulage industries calling out for a new visa system to help fill scores of empty posts.

But don’t worry about any of that, the list of “Brexit opportunities” is endless - assuming you can’t count past 23.

One of those great opportunities is the freedom to scrap EU law saying products must be sold in metric measurements. Instead, the UK can return to selling apples in pounds and ounces.

And now, in another stroke of genius from the Tory government, they’ll also look to bring back the pint bottle of sparkling wine.

Reports have focused on the “pint bottle of champagne” - but quite how the Tories plan to get the French to bottle those for them is unclear, especially given how frosty relations with the neighbours currently are

Either way, a government source told The Telegraph: “Pint-sized bottles were a victim of the EU’s war against imperial measurements, which are widely used and understood in this country.

“Now we’ve left the EU, we can rid ourselves of rules like this. Work is underway in Government to make this change happen.”

At least they’re working on something - but while they’re at it there are some other perhaps more important projects they haven’t gotten around to yet.

The proposed rule change is reportedly part of an ongoing review into “hangover” EU laws taken on by Liz Truss after former Brexit minister and forever peer David Frost threw himself out of the pram along with all of his toys.

The Telegraph also suggested that the current standard bottle size of 750ml is likely “too much for a couple to share before lunch or dinner in an increasingly health-conscious society”, and claimed Winston Churchill had favoured the pint.

If Churchill, an EU “war” on imperial measurements, and a pint of sparkling wine don’t get you red in the face with excitement about Brexit, nothing will.
