THREAD : #Brexit ain't what they promised:

1. It's costing us a fortune - not saving the £350m they promised we’d save and give to the #NHS

2. We won’t "take back control", we’ll lose it. We used to make Europe’s rules. #Brexit means following them without a say:

3. We were the fastest growing economy in the G7. Now, we’re the slowest - and that’s before we’ve even left.

4. Departure won't be smooth and easy. We've already asked for a transition period for a further 2 years, and even that looks insufficient :

5. Trade deals are off to a bad start. America and Australia want us to take chlorinated chicken and hormone treated beef. richardcorbett.org.uk/brexit-harms-n…
6. #Putin, #Trump - is it really sensible to burn our bridges with #Europe? richardcorbett.org.uk/global-britain…

THREAD : Brexit - How about this 8-point deal?

1/ Stay in single market, but not have to join the euro
2/ Opt out of Schengen and keep our border controls
3/ Have a veto on security, foreign policy, tax, treaty changes, and any increase in the competence or powers of the EU.

1. The Rolls Royce story this morning was instructive. They are moving their design approvals work to Germany. They say it won't involve that many job losses - but that's only really the tip of the iceberg for the sector...

#Brexit thread
2. Passenger aircraft go through a series of maintenance checks at depots in the UK. There are deep inspections and none of this can be done without authorisations and certifications. That's the sort of services trade in danger by leaving the EEA. and especially so with no deal
3. Then, if one of these inspections finds a patch of corrosion in the wing, that section of rib or stringer has to be cut out and replaced. A designer has to come up with a solution that not only fits, but also can withstand the stress.

As a #leavernow it is pleasing to see the no deal #Brexit that all 17 million people voted for being delivered
With jaguar landrover relocating to Slovakia it is wonderful see the groundswell against the car industry which was a key part of the reason for #Brexit being heeded this will be especially welcome in Sunderland which voted 63% leave and has Nissan and want rid
A no deal #Brexit will ground flights as a #leavernow i know leave voters will welcome this. Aviation attracted much resentment in the years up to the ref because it made it too easy for foreigners to come here #Brexit was intended to destroy the successful uk aviation industry

THREAD (1) When the likes of Hannan feel the need to 'brush off' something so critical to the right-wing/neo-con #Brexit wet dream, we find digging a little deeper to be useful. After all, ground breaking 'shadow trade deals' with right-wing US think tanks is no small fish.
(2) In fact, given the growing negativity surrounding the #Brexit negotiations, compounded by the Govts' own damning economic analysis, one would have thought Hannan and Fox et al, would be shouting from the roof tops about their bespoke 'shadow US-UK trade deal.' Wouldn't you?
(3) The problem for our intrepid trade deal making duo, as almost always, is to be found in the detail; just what are, and who is, behind these neo-con US think tanks? Perhaps Daniel would enlighten us?

THREAD: Disagreement on the ECJ's role remains one of the biggest hurdles in #Brexit talks. This is how to vault it.

There will be fun graphics and a moody photo of me in a carefully chosen shirt along the way. Stay with me.
Basics: UK and EU need a dispute resolution mechanism to sort disagreements about the meaning and implementation of the Brexit deal(s).
