1/ The curious question of “why” and @annietrev
3/ Vote Leave was the official Leave campaign and they argued that the UK would leave with a deal 
4/ Indeed Vote Leave said we would be part of a free trade zone from Iceland to the Russian border
5/ That free trade zone is the single market
6/ @annietrev supported this as a board member of Vote Leave. Indeed she also cited the importance of the UK doing its own trade deals
7/ @annietrev own position before the referendum was clear - lots of trade deals that are more favourable
8/ Indeed there was no mention of “no deal” or falling back on WTO terms in her writings
9/ Indeed a no deal Brexit is predicated to make the Uk significantly worse off google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.…
10/ So to be clear @annietrev did not campaign for a no deal Brexit during the referendum or highlight it as a risk. In fairness @annietrev if you tweet you warning of this pre referendum I will retract this entire thread
11/ The Tories ran an election in 2017 with “no deal is better than a bad deal” as part of its manifesto. They did not win a majority for that
12/ As we now face the risk of no deal there is weirdly support for trading on WTO terms
14/ But we hear today in @thesundaytimes that the British Army is stockpiling and civil servants are working on plans for the potential need for martial law
15/ If the army is stockpiling you can be sure that is not project fear but project reality
16/ Here is why
17/ Indeed experts such as @AnneliHoward point out it could be worse than that theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
19/ So naturally what is @annietrev position? Well...
20/
21/ and when challenged on how this position does not sit with her pre referendum position, look at the response
22/ Why? Is what you ask @annietrev
23/ I did explain it in simple terms but had no reply
24/ Hopefully this thread explains why it is awkward for you.
Or perhaps you @annietrev simply don’t give a 💩?
