Some confusion about the detail of the EU settlement scheme inside Government. The official page says "The deadline for applying will be 31 December 2020 if the UK leaves the EU without a deal." but Anne Milton MP says it's 29 March 2020 in a Written Answer on 31 Jan. @AnneMilton

Let's join the dots on the unfolding Nissan Brexit disaster:
1) September 2016: Nissan CEO warns some car production could move out of UK unless compensation is provided against tariffs
2) Government provides Nissan with confidential letter of reassurance.
news.sky.com/story/nissan-c…
3) October 2016: Nissan declares publicly it will build X-Trail in Sunderland
4) October 2018: Nissan issues very strong warning about no deal Brexit effect on UK car production
5) December 2018: Government refuses to disclose content of letter to Nissan (deemed too sensitive)
6) January 2019: Prime Minister Abe of Japan gives harsh no deal warning
7) Late January 2019: Brexit deal killed (230 vote defeat + Brady amendment)
8) 1 February 2019: EU & Japan trade deal creates largest ever free trade zone. 0% tariff on cars imported from Japan from 2027.

Ok, here's a little test. No cheating! Answer the first question before you look at the second, and so on. (To be honest nobody will know if you cheated, but it makes the whole thing pointless for you...)

Q1: Do you think politicians (in general, not only the Government) are:
Q2: Thinking about Brexit now, do you think politicians (again in general, not specifically the Tories) are:
Q3: Now, thinking only about the Tories, how well informed are they about the details of Brexit?

Nissan is going to announce next week that it's cancelling plans (announced in 2016) to manufacture its X-Trail model in Sunderland. Worth repeating that EVERY SINGLE MAJOR CAR FIRM has warned strongly and frequently about the negative impact of Brexit.

This follows a blunt warning from Prime Minister Abe of Japan last month that a no deal Brexit was a nightmare scenario: "That is why we truly hope that a no-deal Brexit will be avoided and, in fact, that is the wish of the whole world."

All this is compounded by the fact that the EU and Japan just ratified the largest free trade deal in history (we get to share in it, but only until Brexit Day). Amongst other things, it cuts tariffs on Japanese-made cars entering the EU to 0% by 2027.

If the UK leaves the EU without a deal on 29 March, export licences for millions of tonnes of waste will become invalid overnight. Environment Agency (EA) officials said leaking stockpiles could cause pollution....liquefying piles of manure.
#BrexitIsShit theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
EA staff, asking for 42 VOLUNTEERS to staff crisis management centres that would deal with incidents. On Tuesday the chief executive of the civil service revealed plans to move up to 5,000 staff into an emergency command and control centre in the event of no deal.
I volunteer anyone who voted Brexit to do the work and for any excess waste to be dumped on their land.

How @DailyMailUK twisted the results of @Survation poll and created a nice little frontpage to support Theresa May with some beautiful YESes in red and some lovely supporting words, even though the front page does not actually reflects the results of the poll...
So, let's have a closer look at some of the questions asked and the ACTUAL answers of voters...
Q1. When UK Govt's negotiations over the terms of Britain's exit from #EU are complete, would you support or oppose holding a People's Vote - a referendum - asking the public their view?

- Support 48% 👈
- Oppose 34%
- Don't know 18%

Large margin 14% to support a #PeoplesVote!

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

UK is heading for #Brexit In Name Only. And maybe the slow, spasmodic death of British nationalism. Thread.
I’ve never believed UK & EU would agree terms on a new - indefinite - relationship. There’s a chasm between EU’s position & UK rhetoric 2/
Conservative Party backed EU for 50 years. Most grandees, funders and MPs still believe UK would do very badly if it left SM. Financial Times & Treasury agree 3/
