We have to break Britain's #FinanceCurse: btwn 1995 & 2015 the UK financial services sector cost the economy an estimated £4,500bn in lost economic output. Plus fraud, corruption, capture of democracy. There's only one political party that will tackle that

Macron do warned the others NOT to give 6 months extension to the UK, just few weeks until end of April 2019. Moderate Merkel and Tusk have won last time. We all see now Macron was right. No more favors to the British bullies.
31 Oct and you're kicked out of the EU.

Honestly nobody wants you in EU anymore. Literally no-one. Even Le Pen and Orban.
Barnier is polite wants a deal because this is literally his job. EU voters don't want the UK.
No offence, but No Deal will cost the EU 0.25% of our GDP. Meh...

Economic consequences of Brexit: some thoughts... #efta #brexit
1/ those who oppose brexit point to the economic risks of a Hard Brexit. We share those concerns and will do everything we can to avoid a Hard Brexit. However, some people say that *any* type of Brexit will be economically damaging.
2/ not surprising with articles such as these in the media that explicitly say that: buzzfeed.com/albertonardell…

Mueller probing George Nader (Lebanese-American businessman)👉🏼adviser to the ruler of the UAE, and was frequent visitor to Trump’s WH.🤔

Mueller is probing Nader’s role in WH policymaking & whether UAE had influence on Trump's decision-making.🤨 2/
Mueller's focus on Nader could also prompt an examination of how money from MULTIPLE countries has flowed through and influenced DC during the Trump era.🤨

SO MUCH FOR DRAINING THE SWAMP‼️🤬 3/

Preventing a Brexit disaster - and the austerity this entails - requires more than the #CustomsUnion alone. So here’s a few reasons why Labour’s frontbench must, as a minimum, now also back the #SingleMarket (other than for the famous ‘four freedoms’):
Yes a Customs Union is needed. It helps 20% of our economy. For the other 80% (and growing!) of our economy, which is in ‘services’, we need the Single Market. The right to export UK service expertise is vital.
With 11% of our tax revenues coming from the UK financial services sector (£66bn), we need the Single Market so it can trade on the same basis as financial firms from the other 27 countries. We can’t pay for our NHS, schools, welfare support without this revenue.
