Just as people have moved on and want to talk about the pain our industries are suffering, the prospects the people have lost, and the way our country has been damaged, Brexiteers like Jacob can only argue amongst themselves and repeat their lies of 2016.

It's all they have.
The irony being they voted to live in the past, and now they are permanently stuck in 2016, when we were in the EU.
When someone tell you we need to wait 40 years to see the benefit, ask them what specific milestones are required and when will each of them be achieved.
Because with industry suffering, "it will happen by magic" doesn't cut it. We need to know *WHAT* they expect to be done in 50 years and *HOW* it will solve the problems we face today.

"Brexit is not an act of self harm"

The fact people in the UK have to claim this 6 years after the vote suggests that it was, indeed, an act of self harm.
All that democracy of having less votes, and FPTP in a two party system with all those safe seats. Along with a parliamentary system that creates laws further away from the people than in the EU system...

And the funniest to date. Has anyone seen the democratic history of some of the CPTPP countries?

Peru? Vietnam?

This seems like a good day for it to happen. The only reason the Johnson administration is still in existence is that we don't get long enough to focus on one story before another story occurs and the news cycle moves on.

Like the FCO's handling of Afghanistan...
If it's not corruption it's deception, crime, or incompetence, and it never seems to stop.
And in case you needed to be reminded, the government plan to scrap the institution that found him guilty of this.

Now, where have we seen this before?

I have opinions about this rebuttal of @DavidGauke claiming he: "simply looks at the timeline of what has happened post-Brexit and ignores the broader context of trade policy"

...and I have facts too! (Thread)

If someone joined because they thought we were more about free trade than the EU, then it's nothing short of historical illiteracy.
When the UK joined the EEC it had an average higher tariff than that of the Common External Tariff (CET) of the six.

Because there is competition for the EU oranges, and the oranges from the southern hemisphere tend to have been stored at the end of their season?

Also, amalgamation in the fruit industry as a result of the Single Market, makes returns questionable.
Just the slightest bit of research from these "Brexit experts" would have saved us having to explain this before we left the EU and afterwards.

One of the arguments was that we can't drop tariffs on countries that on EBA we can't... 🙄

From the people who argued that a leaflet with a government seal was binding on parliament. 🤣
"We'll just get rid of that inconvenient separation of power."
The "will of the people" in a representative democracy is, of course, bound in parliament.

The solution is, of course, the Ukrainian model...or at least that's my solution.

Moving together in areas where is makes sense to the two parties rather across the whole body of legislation in the EEA.
Regulatory approximation, rather than accepting laws like they do in the EEA.
