Amazing. Minister wheeled out to defend deal on #newsnight, Rory Stewart, has nothing to offer except for fact that staying in EU would ‘ignore the referendum’. It would come after another referendum, you absurd man. If this is the best they can do, government really is toast
And the bollocks keeps coming. ‘We need to heal and bring people together’. Quite. Maybe start by not dismantling the economy or jobs, or outsourcing our trade and regulations to EU, or erecting barriers with NI and Continent? This deal fails on all counts. #newsnight
Now Stewart lying we have cherry-picked deal. This refers to totally non-binding political declaration. The legally-binding withdrawal treaty makes absolutely clear that we will stay in customs union till EU agrees we can leave and GB and NI will be separated. Enough. #newsnight
Brexit bullshit bingo: Stewart now says we’d have no control over immigration in single market. Single market does give controls, gov has total control over non-EU immigration nkw, and also immigration is good and government is willing to sacrifice economy on altar of xenophobia
