It's now painfully clear and beyond any doubt: 1. That the sunny, cost-free, easy-access uplands, posited by the Brexit cult, are mendacious fantasy. 2. That the ever-growing costs, downsides and consequences of Brexit are very real and intellectually indisputable.
#BrexitChaos

We may tire of confronting the undisputed opportunity costs* of #Brexit #CatastrophUK (c.£130bn so far, rising at c.£1.2bn weekly) but our *GDP *Currency *Property Values *Stock Market *Govt Borrowing *Ongoing #Brexodus (ref: @uk_domain_names) combine to drag the UK backwards.

@uk_domain_names These #Brexit Opportunity Costs are known to: @10DowningStreet @bankofengland @TheIFS @ONS @The_IoD @LSEnews @TUCeconomics @cbicarolyn @Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @theSNP @GoldmanSachs @PwC @ICAEW @KPMG @UKHouseofLords @HouseofCommons and they'd double if UK does #NoDeal!

Am also uneasy about post crash strategies adopted, since 2010. So #Brexit comes with very bad timing and would surely prove recessionary!

So it's ESSENTIAL that MPs are acquainted with the financial/economic consequences of their (in)/actions in this sorry saga. To disregard tabled FACTS now, would be (arguably) criminal! 5/5

If (eg) @UKLabour & @LibDems can't make a draft plan NOW-ish? ahead of 3sep19's nightmare resumption, then it's #NoDeal for sure!

(or borrowable) see above! - so herein lies the nub of our self-inflicted implosion. Calling on ALL sane MP's across Parliament to find a way to #StopBrexitSaveBritain #StopBrexitSaveDemocracy Ends.

THIS must be viewed as a hopeful development! I congratulate ALL who attend AND participate fully. We need that plan!

How perverse!

Uncharted territory often begets unintended consequences.

IF UK is to avoid the Crash-Landing being planned for us, by our Crass-Leaders. Differences/Egos must be buried IF #Bozo's #Kamikaze attack on OUR nation is to be thwarted.

Instead of seeking #CentristSanity in a primal pounce of self-preservation? WE have permitted a Putin-Funded #FarRight #Kamikaze #Attack ON OURSELVES - led by #PissArtists formerly known as @conservatives. They ARE toast! WE need not be?

Most #Leave Supporters wanted the DEAL they were promised would be so EASY to negotiate!

Bad #NoDealBrexit not dead. No #Brexodus reversals expected. Economic hit Today 'is as' Y'day, £Huge. More tortuous masturdebating expected.
Oh, to be alive & self-harming away.
