These companies... Ford, Nissan, British Steel, Honda, Airbus etc.. due to Brexit their UK operations are like a house with its foundations removed. Sure, Brexit didn't immediately cause the collapse, but when the winds of diesel, China, automation etc blew, they were vulnerable.
But don't worry... Brexit has no effect on Ford AT ALL!

It's all project fear. Brexit is the last thing on Ford's mind... theguardian.com/business/2018/…
If anything, Brexit is helping Ford's Bridgend factory...

So tired of everyone's negativity about Brexit! thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/art…
Look! Alright! Ford just wanted clarity so they could do a little holiday planning.

That holiday might just last a bit longer than usual.

Labour is NOT getting access to the Single Market post Brexit.
The deal isn't happening. No Deal obviously loses that access. And PM Boris Johnson will not be negotiating for Single Market access.
So anyone in Labour not pushing for a Peoples Vote is de-facto supporting No Deal.
Now that means all of ⬇️⬇️⬇️THIS⬇️⬇️⬇️ will be on YOUR personal shoulders.
I'm talking grass-roots activists, right the way through to Corbyn and the Tories. Given that the only way Brexit happens is via No Deal, if you haven't been campaigning actively to let people reject a process EVERYONE sees has failed, the consequences of No Deal are on you.

Labour's head of Brexit, Keir Starmer, announced that we were at the stage of campaigning for a public vote IN JANUARY.
Every time Labour spokespeople say it's not yet time to campaign for a public vote, they're telling us that NOBODY SHOULD TRUST LABOUR!
There is a term for people who tell you they're being faithful to you, then while being manifestly disloyal, tell you that YOU'RE the one being unreasonable... It's what the Labour Party is currently doing to its members and half the country.
Prove me wrong. START CAMPAIGNING!
The message is so simple:
▪️We oppose No Deal (That's in your manifesto. EASY)
▪️The Tory Deal leaves us less sovereign than EU members. (Brexit voters agree. EASY)
▪️Public vote is the only way to save UK sovereignty.
▪️Let's put this to bed so Labour can deliver real change

Remainers, please...
We cannot treat every Brexit-voter like they're the synthetic love-child of Farage & Tommy Robinson. A couple of people I saw today treated a typical "posh Tory brexiteer" as if he was actual Hitler. We only fix the UK through CONSTRUCTIVE national dialogue.
I may have revealed my view of "posh Brexiteers" with that tweet. As far as I'm concerned, middle class remainers who just want status quo and middle class Brexiteers who are happy to let the struggling struggle more for their vision of sovereignty... Bad as each other.
Because half of the comments seem to be along the lines of "Too late Femi. You're responsible for this" I suppose I should probably leave this here.

British Steel is entering insolvency. This has Brexit written all over it. They have been warning for months and months and months, in ever more apocalyptic terms, to no avail...

Impressions from conversations with German and British officials, think-tankers and politicians at the Königswinter Conference on 11-12 April. Disclaimer: this is just my personal take and by no means a comprehensive report. Thread 1
After the Brexit intensity of the last few months, it was so impressive that the British delegation found its way to Berlin on the day after the EUCO cliff-edge. Also, Kudos to the German organizers who were forced to update the Programme almost hourly over the last few weeks. 2
Much has been made in the press over the last few days of 🇩🇪 playing good cop to Macron‘s bad cop over the question of an Article 50 Extension at EUCO on 10 April. But 3

Brexit is the backstop; the backstop is #Brexit.

After 3 days in Belfast, talking to all sides, here's what I've learned - on the business and the politics of this deal. And its viability.

1/Thread
First the business/technical aspects of how a backstop would work.

I talked to business lobby groups, Stephen Kelly from @ManufacturingNI fresh back from talks with Barnier. And bosses of big companies.

The are surprisingly sanguine. /2

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
@ManufacturingNI If the backstop emerges as the British want (and that is still an 'if') it would look as follows:

- all-UK in a temporary customs Union
- Northern Ireland only in Single Market for goods, via devolution
- no checks GB-NI
- 'de-dramatised checks on regs NI-GB

As Remainer i now acknowledge that I was totally wrong about #brexit and how embrace the cause
Now that Turkey is just decades away from joining the EU I am so relieved. all that Turkish EU membership required was a simultaneous act of mass political suicide by multiple East European governments and a few western ones too which is clearly very likely
Liam fox is so besieged by countries desperate to offer us trade deals that he is having to hide to stop beating off offers with a shitty stick

I'm currently at this #Brexit conference in Copenhagen, where the British ambassador and several #DExEU officials will be on panels with representatives of Danish trade and security. It'll be very interesting to see what's said, especially in light of May's recent Munich speech.
And now that I'm not desperately trying to keep up with livetweeting it, I shall turn my mess of self-retweets into a proper thread. #Brexit #BrexitDK
acknowledges #Brexit will have challenges; emphasises no naïveté regarding "land of milk and honey". Refreshing sense of pragmatism; we'll see how #DExEU and DK reps present it.
