Kerry Food group is closing a plant, affecting 900 jobs. No mention of Brexit then, but...
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
... as recently as February 2019 their CEO warned they were having to rethink UK commitments (it's an Irish firm) due to Brexit.

So like the car firms, and others, once the final decision is taken and the axe swung, Brexit is studiously not mentioned to avoid irritating some of their customer base unnecessarily (rubbing it in won't keep the factories open).

A pattern that recurs, time and again: a Tory or Labour MP comes out publicly against their party citing a laundry-list of valid complaints (Brexit stance, antisemitism, Islamophobia etc. etc.) then... nothing.

They repeat and strengthen their criticism, then... nothing.
This goes on for a while, but other than the group of MPs formerly known as Change UK, none seem to have sufficient courage in their convictions to actually *do* something.

That's despite holding more power than usual due to the delicate balance of power in the HOC.
If half a dozen Tories quit, that's game over for no deal. If a similar number of Labour MPs did so, that might finally stir Corbyn out of his fence-sitting Brexit torpor.

But just moaning and complaining when they have real power to do much more - what's the point in that?

Social media has done a lot of good things, but it has also facilitated the rise of professional pot-stirrers: people who take a deliberately provocative and outrageous position to generate attention.
If they were instead limited to the occasional news panel appearance and to newspaper columns, we wouldn't be troubled by any of them. But thanks to social media, their artificial brew of hate and intolerance is influencing millions, and changing our society for the worse.
You know who I mean. I don't have to name names. I'm not going to deliberately give them the oxygen of publicity. And besides they'll be trending on Twitter again soon. They always do.

Ok, time for a bit of realism on both sides of the Brexit debate!

Leavers: the German car industry isn't going to come galloping to the rescue.

Remainers: yes, aspects of the referendum were illegal. But nobody is going to overturn it on those grounds in any useful timeframe.
So it's no good waiting for the EU to blink under German pressure. Ain't gonna happen.

But it's also no good waiting for the wheels of justice to overturn the flawed, advisory 2016 referendum. That ain't gonna happen either.
Is this annoying, frustrating, infuriating, unfair, unjust etc. etc.

Yes.

Does that affect the hard truths I've pointed out?

No.

Leavers, you were lied to.

Remainers, we're never going to get proper justice.

Sucks, but that's reality for you.

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

Recently several MPs have come out in favour of "🇳🇴Norway for Now" or "Norway then Canada🇨🇦" thetimes.co.uk/article/don-t-…
This is a welcome development. But MPs won't accept a customs union with the EU in perpetuity. So what's the answer? Well we have been thinking about this for a long time @AmberRuddHR @NickBoles and produced a report:

*Brexit at the Border: Voices from local communities in the Central Border Region of Ireland/Northern Ireland*
An initiative by @QUBelfast & @europe_icban to gather data on the immediate & anticipated effects of #Brexit for those living on the #Border
qub.ac.uk/brexit/Brexitf…
1/10
Here are some of the key findings from the report in slide form.
First an overview of the study itself:
Rich qualitative data (online survey & focus groups) gathered across the Central Border Region. Detailed examples & viewpoints heard from people on both sides of #border.
2/10
Respondents to the survey came from across the 8 local authority areas of the Central Border Region, moreorless equally from both sides of the border. 50/50 male/female. 80% 31-65 yrs.
There were far fewer Leave-voting respondents so they got extra attention in our analysis.
