Hi. Can everybody please email @world4brexit on info@w4b.world to let them know that their claims here are wrong. Cocoa producers Ivory Coast & Ghana have Economic Partnership Agreements (EPA) with the EU. Other producers are on Everything but Arms (EBA). So no tariffs.
@world4brexit
@world4brexit The image used by W4B is of a cocoa farmer in Uganda. Uganda is on Everything but Arms. So all exports to the EU on everything (including chocolate & cocoa) except for weapons enters the EU on a 0% tariff.

@world4brexit The photographer is Jake Lyle. He's on Instagram as @lyell_shoots but not on Twitter. I'm not on Instagram. I don't know whether he would be concerned about this use of the image. Maybe not.

This is a total fraud. Neither the main anti-Brexit group in Lewes (@LewesEUnity), nor the @Lewes_Lib_Dems nor anyone else I know in Lewes had any idea this “public meeting” was taking place.

Who are these people who actually attended this?

Here's Christine from Southampton. Convinced by Tim Martin that we must leave the EU to source drinks from countries TM already sources them from while still members.

Aso that EU membership prevents fish & chips being sold in newspaper.

@LBC @MrJamesOB
@LBC @mrjamesob Mullards. Her former employer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullard
@LBC @mrjamesob Ah... became part of Phillips. It looks like they still exist in some form in Southampton.

70yr old Christine who just rang in to @mrjamesob's show on @LBC was the epitome of Brexit folly, misled by Tm Martin.

When then asked which EU law most upset her she said - "we used to be able to eat fish & chips out of newspaper".

Pressed further her issue was immigration.

1) a passionate plea to #Brexit party supporters (please RT)

One of your MEPs has shouted that we *must* give into the demands of a foreign leader, to sacrifice someone who was just doing his job and was let down by a leaker

Please, let that sink in for a second
2) set aside that the man was just doing his job, in what was supposed to be the strictest confidence, and that even if you don't agree with his comments, many, many people do.

But wasn't #Brexit all about sovereignty, about "taking back control"?
3) the truth is there's not much left for #Brexit. No one seriously thinks we'll be more prosperous, but lots of Brexit supporters talk about sovereignty

But what actually is sovereignty when it boils down to it? Surely it means the UK standing proud & dignified?

#Brexit & political disillusionment thread...
Thought #EURef campaign would be based on facts, not lies. I was wrong.
Thought media would call out #Brexit -er lies & challenge obvious bollocks. I was wrong.

1. Watching the #Brexit debate unfold on my timeline is increasingly surreal. Tory drones are mounting an anti-chequers campaign despite all the signals from Barnier that the EU is not even willing to entertain it. And it gets even weirder...
2. The chief objection to Chequers is it would tie us to EU standards which would prevent us from diverging, which in their view restricts an independent trade policy. They are not even on this planet. For a start, divergence is a sure fire way of kill our trade with the EU.
3. Divergence and relaxed standards means that any goods travelling from the UK to the EU face a higher rate of inspection. That alone is enough to kill a supply chain. But it doesn't even make any sense in respect of trade with the rest of the world.

*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.

1) Thread - All Brexits are bad and what we voted for
It's often said by brexiters that "it's not all about economics"
However, the *actual* Leave campaign was almost wholly about economic arguments

With the leak of this 2-8% report those arguments are now trashed
2) We seem to have forgotten this however economics played a huge part in the Vote Leave campaign, making up over 2/3rds of the primary arguements. The clear message was we would at the least be no worse off and at best much better off. 4 of the 6 below state this clearly
3) & the fact is voters believed we would be no worse off. People prioritized immigration certainly, but against a backdrop of there being no consequences from Brexit - few are prepared to actually pay for ending FoM
