Johnson's govt finally publishes *some* economic analysis on a UK-US trade deal:

Economic benefit is expected to be £3.4bn - equivalent to 0.2% of UK GDP*

*This is unchanged from analysis by May's govt in 2018

The UK economy in 2019 was £2,200,000,000,000 (£2.2trn).

The govt thinks a US-UK trade deal us worth £3.4bn.

This is Brexit's sunny uplands.

Govt analysis says Scotland and North East will benefit the most from tariff free access to US.

Where's the cost of a no deal, currently called an [imaginary] "Australian deal" by our lying govt.?

Here's the 2018 govt analysis.

Here's what Theresa May's secret Brexit impact papers revealed when they were leaked back in January 2018.

REMINDER: govt's own 2018 Brexit impact studies showed what would happen to regional GDP in the North East, & the rest of the UK, under various EU trade outcomes, including a no deal Brexit.

No US trade deal will compensate for any of this.

We can fact check Brexit lies, & debunk their conspiracy theories, & that's what we've done for five years.

But there is one myth that Brexiters still cling on to, & that is "sovrinty", because it has no evidence, & it can't be fact checked.

That is why Johnson's govt announced that it is "prioritising British sovereignty" over everything else in Brexit trade negotiations with the EU; pitching the undefinable as the marker against which we must measure their negotiating success.

Things that matter less than sovrinty acc. to Johnson's govt:

GDP
Jobs
Food shortages
Medicine shortages
Doctor shortages
Nurse shortages
Social care
Service sector
Automotive sector
Scotland
N Ireland

Nothing measurable matters.

Only sovrinty

Sajid Javid says prorogation of parliament would be "trashing democracy"

@lbc #c4news #newsnight #r4today

In June 2019 Amber Rudd said Boris Johnson proroguing parliament would be outrageous and ridiculous

@lbc #c4news #Newsnight #r4today #bbcpm #PoliticsLive #bbcaq

And here's secretary of state for health and Johnson lickspittle, Matt Hancock, saying prorogation would go against "everything that those men who waded onto those beaches fought and died for"

In 2012, Tim Cook announced Apple would make a Mac computer in the US.

But when Apple began making the $3000 computer in Texas, it struggled to find enough screws. By the time the computer was ready for mass production, Apple had ordered screws from China nyti.ms/2HBT2QK
Apple CEO Tim Cook: “The skill here is just incredible. In the US, you could have a meeting of tooling engineers and I’m not sure we could fill the room. In China, you could fill multiple football fields.” (h/t @scottlincicome)
