You will hear more nonsense and spin from Brexit-boosting MPs today than at any time in history. Claims that Boris Johnson's deal will protect environmental standards, workers' rights etc. (it won't - that's in the Political Declaration which is non-binding) #PeoplesVoteMarch
Claims that Brexit will make the UK richer. (Independent estimates are that Boris Johnson's version will knock 6.7% off GDP growth i.e. we'll grow by that much less than if we stayed)
Claims that this will "get Brexit done" (it won't - it will move us on to the second and much harder phase of Brexit, in which we have to reach a deal with the EU and others before we run out of transition time)
Claims that this will bring the UK back together (how can it, when firms will flee and we'll all be poorer, and we'll know whose fault it was?)
So many, many, many claims, almost none of which will be true. There is nothing about Boris Johnson's deal that's good except its protection of the peace in Northern Ireland. It has taken 1 problem off the table and created 9,999 more.
