@PeterHain🔥 #BrexitBill= a TRAGEDY😢
Dogmatism which confuses sovereignty with power & influence has triumphed. This thin deal is better than no deal...but no pumped-up, jingoistic celebrations can disguise an act of GRATUITOUS, ENORMOUS NATIONAL SELF HARM. 😭💔

Our weight and influence on the global stage as a senior member of the world’s biggest trading & diplomatic bloc is now reduced to that of a bit player in an increasingly dangerous multipolar world.. a rule-taker, excluded from the v European trade, defence, foreign & external..
security policy-making that still impacts directly upon us as a close neighbour & trading partner.
Leaving EU SM (which = around half our trade), will, Govt estimate, reduce national income per head by ~5% & have 2 to 3 times the medium to long-term economic impact of Covid-19.😱

Non-tariff barriers, est by HMRC to cost £7 bn a year, will damage UK goods, where we have a trade deficit with the EU.Yet on services, where UK has an £83 bn surplus with the EU, the deal provides absolutely nothing, future access humiliatingly dependent on EU permission.😬😭
As for taking back control of IMMIGRATION, since 2016 ref net immigration from the EU has collapsed but from the rest of the world it has exploded. As EU nationals driven away, our #NHS has been left with over 40,000 nurse vacancies & our care sector with over 120,000 vacancies😭
