A #Brexit List. Wonderfully obscure things you may not know about No Deal Brexit

I was inspired by Mr
@LeetStephenleet who gave me one I didn't know. After this long that's reason enough.

If you're a Brexit believer, don't read. Cognitive dissonance defeats facts every time.
1. We increase animal suffering 7x. One of the best EU contributions (for me) UK made was a massive improvement in animal transport conditions for 7x our population.

When we go that will over time be eroded. But US transport standards are even worse. And we can't influence them!
2. You know almost all our lamb and cattle go to the EU, so No Deal is a Farming nightmare - CAP doesn't close the gap

Millions of contracts to replace. Except different countries eat different cuts. Some can't be replaced. Get ready for the UK lambs testicles and Tripe Mountain
Services
Our nincompoop Government spent so long thinking about Goods; it forgot Services, the part of our economy that im standard times runs a massive trade surplus with the EU. It's also the majority of our jobs.

No solutions yet. Oops. What if Covid could hide their mistake?
Harder to Negotiate.

Many know No Deal weakens our hand with all our non EU partners.

I haven't seen anyone point out it weakens our EU hand too. The more we decouple the less reason for a deal the lower our leverage as a partner. & National Parliaments ratify for the 1st time.
Ooh, that'll cost you.

Every day millions of small businesses do what UKGov won't. Spreadsheets. Say to any of them no one knows the cost, hear "Lazy git. Try"

Some have. No Deal EVERY YEAR is 3x HS2 or 1x lockdown.
Yet everyone who hates the cost of the last 2 love No Deal 😖
Speaking of Deals, the Thatcher Deal isn't just the best deal we have with the EU; it's the best deal anyone has ever struck with the EU.

Our non-EU partners have confirmed they will give us worse deals than EU terms and we're ensuring our EU deal will be worse too. 1+1=0

D'oh
Despite claims to the contrary, UKGov worried over medication; many exclusively from the EU and tariffs go to NHS cost

So we built up a vast reserve which Covid depleted, and we now have no time to replace.

Maybe they don't care now they've killed so many needlessly with Covid?
One rule for them

Brexit's biggest problem. The Government can boast and bluster, but our economy runs on millions upon millions of contracts many of which need new terms, new supplies, new partners or all 3. Decades.

Cooperation was assumed.
How's cooperation post #Cummings?
