Here, in three tweets, is a quick overview of the parlous state of the UK economy [thread]:

UK recession alarm bells ring as services sector contracts

UK construction activity suffers ‘devastating’ drop as Brexit kills demand

Well, that just leaves us the public sector. But who's going to pay for public sector wages?

408,030 Brexit Job Losses 🇬🇧🇪🇺🎪
@MrHickmott
A critical moment is coming - the moment it is confirmed that Parliament has been suspended.

At that moment, we must pour into London and lay siege to Whitehall. And STAY THERE until Parliament is restored.

No ifs, no buts. WE MUST NOT FAIL THIS TEST. #BlockTheCoup
Yes, if #LiarJohnson tries to silence our Parliament, we will #TakeWhitehall. And, let us be clear: we WILL NOT be seeking permits from the "authorities". The "authorities" are those stealing our liberty. We don't want their permission, we want them GONE. #BlockTheCoup
IMPORTANT!
I am one voice, and I could be silenced. I need others to pile onto this. The plan is simple:

IF Johnson shuts Parliament, put out a call using #FBPE and #TakeWhitehall. That's it.

Then everyone get your arses to Whitehall and stay there till democracy is restored.

250,023 Brexit Job Losses 🇬🇧

There follow two alternative visions of November 1st. Please read them both then vote. 1/
Version A. Harriet Harmon, who was nominated by Jeremy Corbyn as Labour's first woman prime minister, calls a general election having first agreed a further extension with the EU. Corbyn is confident of leading his party to victory. /2
Version B: Johnson has carried out his threat to leave the EU with no deal. All cross-Channel ferries have been cancelled because of congestion on the French side. Queues on the M20 and. M2 stretch all the way to London. There is mass looting. Martial law has been invoked. /3

Here, have a flavour of the job losses caused by Brexit over recent days...

[thread]
Hot off the blocks, Today's papers are full of the collapse of Laterooms.com and its sister company Super Break. 250 jobs gone at a stroke. Surely nothing to do with the slumping pound and an impending recession?
theguardian.com/business/2019/…
Just two days ago, I learned from Twitter that this small business in the southwest had folded with the loss of 8 jobs.

Thread!! Big thread! Oh, coffee! Don’t go any further without coffee! This is an 80+ tweet thread about tax! People with goldfish-type attention spans, or people with no interest in tax or #Brexit need not even attempt. You have been warned!! There are three facets…
…to the “Brexit was about tax avoidance” conspiracy theories. We have “Brexit was brought in after the EU introduced the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive”, “Brexiteers want to keep details of their tax avoidance schemes secret from the EU” and “Brexit is about protecting…
…the UK’s tax havens. Did you know Mogg’s firm made £103million profit and paid zero tax?! Shocking!” The success of the conspiracy theory lies in the complexity of the truth. “The truth is out there” as they say. Well in this case, it’s in here. For the first time all…

Great.

Let's start with a civilised debate about deliberately misleading the public and about breaking electoral law during the referendum campaign.

#Brexit #ToryLeadershipContest
It would have been nice to have had a civilised debate about the real consequences of Brexit for the UK economy, for Northern Ireland, and for @the3million and @BritishInEurope before the EU referendum.

#Brexit #ToryLeadershipContest
It would have been nice to have had a civilised debate about the importance of Euratom, European Medicines Agency, European Court of Justice
European Banking Authority and Erasmus before and after the EU referendum.

#Brexit: We got into this mess because the @conservatives couldn't cope with the fact that we weren't the top power in Europe: because, while we won almost all of the votes Europe ever had, it wasn't quite totally all. >>>
@Conservatives They couldn't cope with the fact that Germany was more influential than us - because Germany outperforms us at manufacturing, finance, exports, and, critically, diplomacy. >>>
@Conservatives After Brexit, Germany will still outperform us at manufacturing, finance, exports, and, critically, diplomacy - and Germany will be part of the most powerful trading block in the world while we will have NO FRIENDS AT ALL. >>>

"#Brexit and EU agencies", our extensive look into third country relationships of the 36 EU agencies and how the UK might fit in.

swp-berlin.org/fileadmin/cont…

Albeit largely technical, agencies will have huge implications on Brexit.

Five points stand out in particular:
First, Agencies matter. Like the customs union, they are a technical aspect of the EU, that works and was thus hardly discussed in the UK before #Brexit.
But they are important for single market, but also justice and home affairs.

UK gov thus has already asked to continue participation in selected agencies, in particular in sectors important to the UK economy, like aviation, chemicals or pharma.

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
