Do you run a small business in the UK or know someone who does? If so, read on: #SmallBiz #SmallBusiness
You have probably heard/seen/read a lot on TV, Internet and Radio about Brexit. What you might not know is how it could affect your business.
A 'Hard' brexit (i.e. a badly managed form of leaving the EU resulting in a distant relationship with it) could have several negative effects on small businesses - difficulty sourcing stock, delays in obtaining raw materials, missed deliveries and difficulties recruiting staff
But a 'soft' or 'smart' Brexit like the type we are advocating would remove most of these dangers and reduce the rest of the problems we outlined. Why not get behind our campaign? /End crowdfunder.co.uk/efta4uk-say-no…

Controversial thought: MPs shouldn't be handling Brexit. 1/ #brexit
2/ While many MPs are gifted and talented individuals, few seem to have the required skills and knowledge to take brexit forward.
3/ it is a mammoth task that requires knowledge of EU law, treaties and institutions, international trade and customs, international bodies, international law and more.

1/ Ten years before the EU referendum happened, a "Charity" was set up.
2/ The Taxpayer's alliance Research Trust. This later changed its name to the 'POLITICS AND ECONOMICS RESEARCH TRUST Company number 05982645'
3/ The company/charity has had many figures join and leave over the years, but what's notable is that it is a veritable who's who of 'hard leave' figures. Lets look at a few.

1. We present to you; for your humble consideration two futures. Each at this moment both equally likely.
2. Future one: the UK strikes the best deal with the EU based on efta precedents. We join Switzerland and Iceland in efta.
3. The UK goes from strength to strength signing trade deals around the world. We take back essential sovereignty.

So, it’s been a hellish week. The family business was started by my grandad after the war. Most employees have been with us for a long time.

I did not want to run it, was happy enough in the City, but when my uncle retired someone had to.

We did OK for 9 years
but when Brexit hit, the orders from EU withered. I spent most of my year in Near and Far East Asia trying to find new customers. The costs of distribution, compliance & corrruption are very high, & you cannot trust that a Chinese or Indian customer will actually honour a
contract. My high price law firm said of China “It’s only when you sign a contract in China that the negotiation begins”. Multinationals have the muscle & product clout to prevail in these markets. For SMEs they are a death sentence. I shipped £140k of product to Shenzhen in

1) BBC journalists - a thread on #Brexit balance.
2 years ago you took an editorial decision to write off "Remain" as an option.

This survey shows that that was a catastrophic failing in your duty of balance informed reporting

@AndrewMarr9 @bbcnickrobinson @EvanHD @bbclaurak
@AndrewMarr9 @bbcnickrobinson @EvanHD @bbclaurak 2) week after week you, at best, pitched Tory spokespeople (who support #Brexit) against Labour (who also support Brexit)

Sometimes you even presented 2 sides of the Tory Brexit position as "balance"

This survey shows that this was a terrible failure of duty
@AndrewMarr9 @bbcnickrobinson @EvanHD @bbclaurak 3) despite this writing off of Remain (Nick Robinson said essentially "the debate is over, the only Q is the form of #Brexit"), despite pleading "but Brexit must happen", even despite attempts to reinforce the inevitability of Brexit, Remain has grown

#brexit is a belief, a religion. There's no evidence to support it. It is just a blinkered faith. They believe what they want to believe. Their leaders are preachers, not politicians, & their reaction to doubting them is that of nothing less than a religious fundamentalist #FBPE
2. As such many will quite literally do this for some kind of reward in the next life or for a "cause" for their fellow followers. And when you read the words of some of their protagonists that is exactly what one sees.
3. And we must ask how it is possible so many have been converted to this religious extremism. In general it will the same as elsewhere, hardship, poverty, hate, a conditioned mind that is made to believe a specific group is the cause of their troubles.

1/ The next time the GOP says they are fighting for small business, know that’s a lie. They had an opportunity to prove their #smallbiz commitment & do right by entrepreneurs and small biz owners- the backbone of our economy- and punted.
2/ Private equity professionals, who earn $$ of off investing others’ capital will keep low “carried interest” tax rates, but professional service providers that own their own businesses & risk THEIR OWN CAPITAL w no guarantees at all, get higher ordinary income tax rates.
3/This isn’t a dig at PE- I think the less $ the govt gets the better- but in what universe does a private equity professional deserve a lower tax rate than accountants, lawyers, consultants, IT service providers, etc. that are business owners?
