Good. Finally.

Due to “lack of a viable exit from the EU” Labour will vote against any foreseeable May deal. 👏

ft.com/content/316535…
Now let’s be clear... Thornberry & team are hoping this leads to the fall of May & a General Election... in which Labour would promise to boldly take over the negotiations (suicidal).

They’d be better off (and get more cross-party support) asking for a #PeoplesVote
Imagine what a win it’d be for Labour if:

- they beat Brexit plan in Parl

- then the public also booted Brexit

- then the Govt falls after 2.5y of Brexit time-wasting

- then Lab have a GE manifesto on addressing all areas that were neglected, with Brexit well out of way.

What shackles?

What are the *actual* rules and standards you are intending to scrap... and prepared to put on paper for the nation to see?
And most of the top 5 are in the EU:
And here’s the full Top 10. Not a bad showing for European countries... Where’s America?

This is depressing stuff from @HackneyAbbott

Giving succour to the narrative of immigrant against immigrant. I never thought I’d see Labour do that.

Also note which way round Diane Abbott said it...

She’s not talking about treating Pakistani doctors as well as Polish doctors (FoM).

She’s talking about now treating Polish doctors as poorly as this government has been treating Pakistani & other non-EU doctors.

Brussels gives UK a 24-hour Brexit deadline to firm up their position after talks break down. on.ft.com/2yD6mfZ
The UK-EU Brexit negotiations broke down on Sunday when Theresa May said she could not sign up to a backstop plan to avoid a hard border in Ireland. Here's a reminder of why the Irish border is the biggest remaining obstacle to an exit deal: ft.com/content/909026…
There are three possible scenarios a Brexit deal could take. Now a clean deal looks increasingly unlikely, is the UK heading towards a messy deal or a more serious crisis? ft.com/content/0d5c67…

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

1. Worst national leadership in my lifetime forcing through the most damaging, misguided & missold policy I can remember. Ideology & vested self interest replace statesmanship, soundbites replace sound judgement & autocracy subverts democracy.
#Brexit harms us irreparably #FBPE
2. A flawed Leave campaign based on lies, deceit, disingenuity & over simplification & a #Remain one fought w/o any positivity from the Govt & no real commitment from Labour, whose leader was virtually AWOL, did no justice to #Brexit complexity & betrayed our democratic process.
3. A mere 37% of voters/26.5% of the Ppl voted leave in a legally Non-Binding test of public opinion which has been corrupted, on the basis of an illegitimate political promise & interpreted as being the irrefutable Will of the Ppl.
The 1st is insufficient to claim the latter!

1/ Welcome to Tuesday in the independent republic of Brexitlandia.
2/ Today is national cherry cake day where all over the country families and friends get together each bringing their own cherry cake to eat individually 🍰
3/ The cake symbolises the key Brexit value of wanting everything for yourself without sharing any more than you have to with closest friends and family 🍰
