This is just the Brexit Party's Claire Fox being @Fox_Claire with me and @StephenNolan.
According to the brilliant logic of Claire Fox, if 30 parties opposed No-Deal-Brexit and they each got 3% of the vote (total of 90%), and only one party which supported No-Deal-Brexit and that party got 10% of the vote, the majority would want NDBrexit. Because 10% = more than 3%
There's nothing more dishonest than trying to use the Remain Camp's arguments to justify why we should leave with no deal.
Remain argued that Brexit would mean trade Barriers. Leave said it wouldn't.
You're saying "Remain was right but let's leave anyway"!
It's a bit like this ⬇️
👩‍🦰Don't eat at that restaurant. TripAdvisor says everything is over £900
🧔Project fear! They must have cheap stuff
*Cheapest meal = £200*
👩‍🦰Still...
🧔I'll have the £3000 Gold-plated lobster
👩‍🦰What!
🧔You said it'd be expensive
👩‍🦰And you didn't believe me! That's why we're here!

If a No-Deal Brexit happens, when we look back on 2016-2020, public figures will be held PERSONALLY responsible. That includes media personalities!
Here are some simple facts and arguments which should be public knowledge by now. You have about 3 months to make it right.
Losing Single Market access DOES NOT mean we stop trading.
The Single Market is the system of shared EU regulations and the automatic acceptance of products from other EU countries when there's no common EU rule. It avoids having to comply with 28 sets of rules, lowering costs.

I see no problem with people pushing for another referendum after we vote to stop Brexit. But the leave option would need to be No-Deal and no negotiations at all for 10yrs minimum.
Because a No-Deal campaign where they (AGAIN) promise us some amazing deal we'll never get...🤢
To put it bluntly:
You can't use a (2016) referendum where almost everyone on the Leave side (people, pundits & politicians) all based their arguments on how well the negotiations would go, as a mandate or even a basis for a No-Deal Brexit.
We'd need a whole new conversation.
By definition, if you tell people we'll get a deal, you're telling people No-Deal won't happen. And EVERYONE said we'd get a deal.

Video Thread. @Freight_NI @MichaelAodhan and @KathyConWom were on @bbctheview last night discussing #Brexit. Mr Leheny discussed @BorderIrish and how the integrated supply chain works. 1/
@KathyConWom thought Mr @Freight_NI was "very negative" and "this attitude would not have won us two world wars". 2/
In response @MichaelAodhan says that a #NoDealBrexit (aka @WtoBrexit) or a #HardBrexit would "throw the Northern Ireland economy under a bus" 3/

I’ve spent some time talking to Brussels folk about the @Conservatives leadership contest.
Officials won’t interfere & so won’t speak on the record.
But from my conversations their views tally with well-respected insiders who can talk to @SkyNews - pointed words in this thread
I spoke to @piris_jc who was the Director-General of the EU Council’s legal service for 23 years.
I spoke to @AgataGostynska who is a senior research fellow at the @CER_EU
I spoke to @ph_lamberts who is a senior MEP and a member of the @Europarl_EN’s #Brexit Steering Group
Firstly their broad views on the #ToryLeadershipContest
@ph_lamberts “I see many people in denial of reality.”

@AgataGostynska: “I think many of the contenders are actually delusional about what they can achieve. I think the reality will come to bite them soon.”

And @piris_jc?

Watch the former head of the WTO, sat next to Andrea Leadsom back in 2016, perfectly predict our current situation, 3 years down the line. Amazing.

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!

A busy afternoon in the Chamber with 2 Urgent Questions and a Statement from @therea_may. It’s clear after today that we won’t be having anything like a “meaningful vote”, as was promised.
I asked @theresa_may what she had to say to the thousands of young people that took part in the #PeoplesVoteMarch, who didn’t get a say in the referendum. Her answer won’t provide any solace to the next generation.
I asked @DominicRaab how he can reconcile Gov preventing MPs from amending the motion on the final deal with the Leave’s campaign’s promise that Brexit would allow us to ‘take back control.’ He had no answer.

Brand-new and remarkable: #today, in a speech before #industry-representatives, chancellor Angela #Merkel used an old-fashioned, and,I think, INAPPROPRIATE,mathematical term to describe the #Brexit discussions..
.. in the #UK.

On 20180925, 9:50 CET, (cf. bdi.eu/der-bdi/termin…), chancellor Merkel said the following: "Wesentlich hängt es natürlich auch davon ab, was Großbritannien denn wirklich möchte. Auch da ist ja die Diskussion nicht so ganz eineindeutig [sic],
und, das muss ich..
.. allerdings sagen: Man kann nicht zum Binnenmarkt gehören, wenn man in EINEM Teil nur zum Binnenmarkt gehören will, aber in drei ANDEREN Teilen nicht zum Binnenmarkt gehört, und da müssen wir verschiedene, äh, vernünftige Wege [ rest drowned out by applause ]."
..
