And here’s the original travesty they put out, for comparison. I have deliberately preserved some of the provocative language in my version (it’s not pleasant, but that’s how the Tories released it)
NOTE: I deliberately left out the more eye-watering aspects of no deal, such as no flights, queues at ports, food and medicine shortages, the destruction of the haulage and car industries, etc. (Not because they won't happen, but because it's too easy to shout "Project Fear".)
Once you've had a chance to digest the above, here are 100+ examples of issues that Brexit has already caused, from jobs and investments drying up to companies relocating assets or redomiciling.
Small correction to my original tweet (Twitter makes it impossible to make changes): the free medical treatment (EHIC) is only for temporary visitors, not people resident in the EU, and it's not always free in every EU country. So nice to have, but not as broad as label implied.
Revised version, incorporating the above correction, a couple of additions, and presented in a bigger font, is available in the thread below.
Note: a lot of people have queried ““vast sums of money”.
All I did was use the same emotive phrasing as the Government.
I agree that it paints a biased picture, but I wanted to minimise the chance that choosing different language would open me up to counter claims of bias.
