Not-at-all cheery conversation about how some visiting musicians needing visas to enter UK have decided not to play here due to recent rise in costs. You can't have #GlobalBritain if foreigners aren't allowed in the country.
More on the story here - I missed this originally back in August theguardian.com/global/2018/au…
To be clear - there is no reason this should be a remain v leave issue.

With the Brexit debate returning to Parliament today, let's go back to basics and explore the facts, key issues, and questions that should be raised in the coming days. Thread... 1/
Most important point, which cannot be emphasised enough - the Withdrawal Agreement is primarily concerned with the terms of the divorce, e.g. financial, citizenship, and not the future (though the Irish backstop complicates this) 2/
Thus any statement a Minister makes about the future relationship being secured (such as that below from the Gov's 40 reasons to back the Brexit deal) is false. The political declaration setting out the future relationship is not binding. 3/

A win for the Conservative anti no-deal party. Now how do the Conservative no-deal party react knowing that in the event of rejecting the PM's deal the numbers may exist to withdraw Article 50?
The instant judgement that this defeat is bad for the PM is I think wrong.

Most or all of the rebels today will vote for her deal, she now has a clear threat to use against ERG rebels - this deal or no Brexit.
fwiw I would say the chances of no-deal Brexit have now crashed and the chances of the PM's deal or similar gone up to perhaps 50%. But the chances of no-Brexit are also strengthening, given the PM's ability to be her own worst enemy

Am bored of reading the conventional wisdom that the EU could not renegotiate Brexit, and to make this case will borrow the wisdom of one of our most experienced MEPs @RCorbettMEP - this is how it COULD happen (and why it probably won't)
There is no more important Brexit job for MPs in the coming two months than to build consensus - something those more astute than the PM realised some time ago. Future relationship talks with a split Parliament could not succeed.

1/ Today @LondonFirst launched our #GlobalBritain report. Because it is a long report and I don’t expect you all to read it, below as a (longish) thread the main points and recommendations
londonfirst.co.uk/news-publicati…
2/ With the UK due to leave the EU on 29 March 2019, there are many political and economic consequences that will require changes to policy: our approach to immigration is one of the most fundamental.
3/ Despite the uncertainty surrounding our departure, the Govt has made its intention to end Freedom of Movement for all citizens clear.
Whatever the politics, employers are pragmatic and recognise both the public’s & gov't's concerns about open borders

Thread: I am hearing a lot of talk about a second referendum and going back to the question of reforming #freemovement, including this report from @sundersays on @nick_clegg's conversations around #Europe. I think this is a dangerous route to go. Here is why.
First, I am sure that governments across the EU have concerns about abuse of free movement. But this abuse, while serious, is marginal and receives very little attention from media and public opinion on the Continent.
Second, while some minor reforms to #freemovement are not only possible but also necessary, as @COdendahl and myself explain here - cer.eu/publications/a…, they won't happen any time soon and will surely be less likely to happen if a perceived 'blackmailing' comes from UK again
