The police are advising retailers to organise additional security in the event of a no deal Brexit. This is what Brexit has come to: stores having to think about how they safeguard themselves against the chaos of panic buying and irate customers. politico.eu/article/uk-pol…
Vital reminder: a "no deal" Brexit is a proactive outcome. We only fall out of the EU with no deal if Theresa May and the Government *actively* will it.

Yes, no deal is the default outcome come 29 March at 11pm.

But, as the ECJ court case proved, we could ALWAYS remain instead.
So if we end up with no deal, it is 100% down to the fact that the Government chose to leave the emergency parachute of rescinding Article 50 unused, and instead send our economy and our security crashing into the no deal ground with a huge strawberry splat.

Esther McVey TODAY talked about the "implementation period" after a no deal Brexit on WTO terms.

Like somebody walking onto a football pitch in the 90th minute, picking up the ball, running down the field & scoring a touchdown. Staggering lack of understanding of fundamentals!
Stupidity so great, it gets you trending (alongside Liam Fox and his Brexit "isn't national suicide" comment.)
That really should be a clue to all politicians: when you pop in, have a little chat in the studio, and bang you're a Twitter trend, it's not because you're fascinating... It's because somewhere in your word salad was nonsense so ridiculous, the whole country is talking about it.

Ah, David Davis... even a broken calendar would be right more often. Here's what he said on 10 October 2016:-
"I think we can take it as read that what our European opposite numbers are saying today is not necessarily what they will be saying tomorrow."
theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=20…
In fact, the most remarkable thing about the whole Brexit process (and in hindsight the most predictable) is the unwavering steadiness of the EU's position. They came together as 27, advanced a common position (based solidly on EU law) and never wavered from it.
Here's another DD classic: "More generally, one of the things that I have discovered in the past few months is that in many areas—not just the City, and not just as regards cars—the balance of negotiating advantage is incredibly heavily stacked our way."

Could Theresa May's Brexit plan B be to do a Cameron: summon the press to Downing Street, quit, then stroll off into Number 10 whistling?

That would go a long way towards explaining why not a word of it has leaked, despite plentiful leaks on all other aspects of Brexit.
Has the added bonus from her POV of stiffing the Brexiters with Brexit at the point of absolutely zero wriggle room, where they have to step up and show competence.
Even that probably wouldn't put the hardcore Brexit headbangers off applying for the role.

Remember, history will remember you were Prime Minister forever, even if you only did the job for a few hours or days before running to the Queen in a panic to tender your own resignation.

1. For a while it very seriously looked like aircraft would be grounded in the event of a no deal #Brexit. Looking at the legalities, it was a reasonable assumption to make. There are, however, contingency measures. (Thread)
2. This is not to say that we are out of the woods. In the EU's own words, "These measures will only ensure basic connectivity and in no means replicate the significant advantages of membership of the Single European Sky."
So what is "basic connectivity"?...
3. This means only the basic four of the "nine freedoms". This means UK airlines will be able to overfly airspace of Member States, make landings for technical purposes and fly passengers from UK directly to destinations within EU, and pick up passengers headed back to the UK.

#Brexit: martedì potrebbe iniziare l'uscita di Uk senza accordo.

Tutti i governi Ue si stanno preparando con avvertimenti a cittadini, amministrazioni, imprese. Alcuni assumono migliaia di persone per le dogane.

Forse mi son perso qualcosa. Ma il governo italiano che fa?
Facciamo un esempio: in Italia risiedono 28.168 cittadini britannici.

Dopo la Brexit diventeranno extra-comunitari. Cosa ne facciamo in caso di no-deal? Tutti espulsi con foglio di via il 30 marzo?

Oppure li facciamo votare alle elezioni comunali come ora?
Un alto esempio banalotto: l'Italia esporta 760 milioni di euro di vino, di cui 300 milioni di prosecco.

In caso di no-deal servono doganieri per le pratiche di esportazione. E chi glielo dice ai trevigiani che devono prendersi un broker a Dover per sdoganare?

Having calmed down slightly I now realise John McDonnells position of a Deal/no deal #Brexit ref if they can't force a GE is unrealistic independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
1/ chequers shows there is unlikely to be a deal acceptable to the EU and the europhobes in the tory party #Brexit so its likely that no deal #Brexit is the only available #Brexit and therefore there is unlikely to be a choice of deal or no deal to start with
2/ if May does comeback with a deal it will need labour support to pass Labour would have to choose between backing it thus forgoing any chance of bringing down the government and thus the GE they say they want and angering the labour movement or voting it down

A quick thread about 'PROJECT FEAR'. #brexit [1]
2/ before the referendum, both sides undoubtedly exaggerated their positions and stretched the truth. I.E. Vote Leave said Turkey was imminently going to join the EU. While Turkey was/is an EU official accession state, it wasn't and isn't joining anytime soon.
3/ Likewise, remainers claimed there would be an emergency budget and Recession immediately after a vote to leave. Neither have transpired, but it would be false to say there hasn't been a negative effect on the UK economy.

1. This is a particularly boring thread but if this doesn't make the point about a no deal #Brexit then nothing will. It relates to an obscure story in the @FarmersGuardian last August and a blunder by the EU Commission.
2. The European Commission failed to re-authorise the Red Tractor assurance scheme, along with four different schemes from other member states, despite the application for re-approval being lodged six months prior.
3. The unexplained gaffe meant farmers whose grain was destined for the biofuels market were been left in the lurch, with some having to fork out for interim storage. No paperwork or tick in a box equals no trade. That's how the system works.

1) Thread - All Brexits are bad and what we voted for
It's often said by brexiters that "it's not all about economics"
However, the *actual* Leave campaign was almost wholly about economic arguments

With the leak of this 2-8% report those arguments are now trashed
2) We seem to have forgotten this however economics played a huge part in the Vote Leave campaign, making up over 2/3rds of the primary arguements. The clear message was we would at the least be no worse off and at best much better off. 4 of the 6 below state this clearly
3) & the fact is voters believed we would be no worse off. People prioritized immigration certainly, but against a backdrop of there being no consequences from Brexit - few are prepared to actually pay for ending FoM
