A short post on what it takes to #GetBrexitDone

The trouble with the brexits is every time tories add things they end up lengthening Brexit

In 2016 when #farage defined Norway Brexit change would have taken days. Keeping the original #thatcherdeal means Brexit is done already
But the tories added on two things that weren't part of the 2016 mandate because no one thought we'd be so stupid.

1. A need for an EU FTA - all the 2016 campaigns assumed staying in the customs union.

2. A need to renegotiate all Non-EU FTAs that we get through EU.
These decisions added YEARS.

1. EU FTA, the average is 3-5 years. The idea it will be quicker is said by people who know nothing about international trade. It will be slower due to all the exceptions.

2. 10 years? It should be 35 years if we take the average. Can you imagine?
And then you do all this.
You waste a DECADE of British Business and trade, for an outcome that looks nothing like 2016.

All you've done is add unnecessary negotiations that reduce trading opportunities. You haven't respected the will of the people.

But the worst thing, as this simple thread on beef shows, is if you think you've done this for sovereignty and control, you'll find you've reduced sovereignty and control.

You've actively decided to become a vassal state.

Could Brexit ever deliver its promises?
When the tories stole and replaced 2016 with their version, all the subsequent Brexits became the exact opposite of the 2016 promise.

Less control
Less money
Less sovereignty.

The #thatcherdeal is still the best deal Leavers ever had.
