“Agri-food supports £1 in every £6 in the NI economy, employing some 100,000 people. A ‘no deal’ Brexit [...] would crush our farming base, destroying family businesses within weeks and would decimate investment leading to closures and job losses." 🤔
farminglife.com/farming-news/g…
More about this story: "A zero rate tariff on agricultural goods coming from the Republic of Ireland into NI would decimate farming here. It offers Ireland a tariff-free backdoor into the British market."
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
But that's what happens when the UK Government has loopy plans like disregarding tariffs it should be levying, in order to avoid creating a hard border. Tilts the playing field, because stuff can go ROI->NI tariff free, but NI-ROI incurs tariffs (of course - ROI is in the EU).

Today is the first day that I see no Brexit hope at all. By declining to ask for a long A50 extension, Theresa May has shown that she couldn't care less what Parliament or the country think, she's just an ERG puppet. All bets are now off, folks!
EU are unlikely to save us: they are fed up to their back teeth from being blamed for a Brexit that was not their doing, so they're hardly going to want to step into a "bully" role at this late juncture by throwing their weight around. They'll let us shoot ourselves in the head.
Parliament is also unlikely to be able to play the role of saviour. Getting a legally binding vote through the HOC and through the whole legislative process is a very high hurdle, especially if the Government and other factions actively sabotage and frustrate the process.

Question on the lips of Brexit-watchers everywhere this morning: has Theresa May's letter to the EU about an Article 50 extension requested a short extension, a long extension, both, or has she avoided specifying the details and just talked about it conceptually in vague terms?
If she's only requesting a short extension, that shuts the door on any sensible softer Brexit, on a general election, or on a second referendum. Only possible choices would be her deal again, no-deal crash out, or no Brexit.
If she only asked for a long extension, anything is possible when it comes to the outcome of Brexit itself, but it would be declaring her deal dead-dead (which it jolly well should be by now anyway). Oh, and the headbanger Brexiters will burst a blood vessel.

Just got my 2019/2020 council tax bill, and the line item for "Police" is increasing over 12%!

How is that possible. Thanks to a really, really dirty Tory Party trick. They greatly raised the cap on the amount local councils are allowed to spend on policing.
This allows the Government to claim that more money is going into the police (because local councils are spending more) while spreading all the responsibility and blame onto them.

Why is any of this necessary? Because central police funding has been cut and cut and cut.
It's like your boss saying "Sure, you can have a pay rise. No, *I'm* not going to pay you more. In fact I might cut your salary again. But I'll let you jack the price we charge customers up, and keep some of the difference."

Support for ‘no deal’ Brexit is the pinnacle of Leave's descent into zealotry. The end result of refusing to plan

Like Trump, 'no deal' advocates have flooded the debate with “alternative facts”
It won't end well

THREAD! PLEASE RETWEET!

The increased support for a ‘no deal’ Brexit is the ultimate failure of the Leave movement. It’s the inevitable consequence of the refusal to grasp details, come to terms with complexity & coalesce around a plan. Compromise can be frustrating. So instead they will have a tantrum.
Some Brexiteers advocated sensible solutions. The EFTA/EEA solution gained a lot of traction in the years before the ref. Even Farage had promoted it & countless others. See Farage below from 2011 essentially making the ‘Liberal Leave’ case!

BREXIT PREDICTION THREAD: 1/ #BREXIT
2/ Mrs May will not be able to get the backstop removed from the WA. She will however get some additional promises and clarifications from the EU.
3/ This will not be enough to satisfy the DUP (what would be?) but many MPs, worried about impending no-deal brexit, will vote in favour of Mrs May's deal.

#BREXIT craziness update so maybots deal is blown out of the water l. Similarly corbyns vote of no confidence fails and won't be backed by SNP and lib dems
Despite her #BREXIT deal being defeated by biggest margin a government has lost a vote ever maybot seeks concessions on backstop despite being told to bog off by the EU with no realistic hope of a different answer
Corbyn meanwhile refuses to talk #BREXIT without no deal being ruled out despite knowing she can't do this whilst maybot makes no concessions either.

#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?

#Brexit being discussed in Holyrood committee. @murdo_fraser asks @Feorlean if he’s read the draft bill. @Feorlean says he’s skimmed it, that he’s not a lawyer and that a lawyer would take three days of study to understand it.
They’re now talking about alien invasions and the choice between @theresa_may’s draft deal or no deal. 👽 #brexit
.@ProfTomkins asks @Feorlean if he’ll withdraw his comment comparing @jacob_rees_mogg to an alien. @Feorlean says it was a “joke misfired” #Brexit

As a #leavernow it is pleasing to see the no deal #Brexit that all 17 million people voted for being delivered
With jaguar landrover relocating to Slovakia it is wonderful see the groundswell against the car industry which was a key part of the reason for #Brexit being heeded this will be especially welcome in Sunderland which voted 63% leave and has Nissan and want rid
A no deal #Brexit will ground flights as a #leavernow i know leave voters will welcome this. Aviation attracted much resentment in the years up to the ref because it made it too easy for foreigners to come here #Brexit was intended to destroy the successful uk aviation industry
