Jaguars, second homes, more powerful vacuum cleaners – Daily Mail lists what to buy to make no-deal Brexit a ‘success’

Among the “ten ways” to make no-deal a “success” was the option of buying a more powerful vacuum cleaner currently banned under EU regulations.

The article read: “If the UK repeals such red tape, you’ll be able send a message to Brussels about their regulations by buying a model up to the old 1,600-watt limit.”

In 2014, an EU energy label prevented manufacturers from making or importing vacuum cleaners with a motor that exceeds 1,600 watts in order to clear the market of poor performing models.

The European Environment Bureau (EEB) said: “Power doesn’t always equal performance, though the misconception has become widespread.

“Some efficient models maintained high standards of dust pick-up while using significantly less energy – due to design innovation.”

The paper also recommended Britons “have a little lamb” and consider holidaying in the UK next year.

They also suggested purchasing more Japanese products, such a Kobe beef and udon noodles, in reference to Britain’s new trade deal with Japan, and buying a second home in the UK.

Other recommendations include buying more English wine – avoiding an 18% tariff on foreign alcohol – Somerset brie, and wearing British-made fashion labels.

Twitter users did not waste time mocking the article.

Ed Williams wrote: “A super article from @DailyMailUK about the ‘10 ways YOU can help make No Deal Brexit a success for Britain’. 1) buy a Jag 2) holiday in UK 4) buy a powerful vacuum cleaner 7) buy a 2nd home.

“All very realistic purchases to make during a massive recession.”

Travel writer James Chapple came up with a brilliant 11th suggestion: “11. Stop buying the Daily Mail.”
