Today marks the anniversary of the withdrawal agreement.

Two years on from this and there is no denying that Brexit has been a historic mistake.

We were promised sunlit uplands but instead we are far worse off.

Thread 👇
We have been left with:

✅Empty shelves
✅ Empty pumps
✅ Empty pockets

...and a heap of unfulfilled, empty promises.

Brexit highlights:

✅Disaster for trade
✅ Price increases
✅ Queues at the border
✅ Increased, not reduced, red tape
✅ Lower standards

On the queues at Dover one driver said: ‘It’s entirely Brexit – you can’t blame it on anything else but Brexit.’

Johnson's "over ready" agreement took a long time to negotiate, was complex and totally unsuitable, something the government itself now believes as they look to tear it up.

The facts though are clear, business in the UK is suffering as a result of new red tape introduced as a direct result of Brexit.

Despite the Government blowing their trumpet about a "big success", new Brexit red tape is causing huge issues.

Regional funding provided by the EU in the form of the ERDF is finally being replaced by the government...or is it?

EU funding for UK's regions: £1.5bn a year
UK funding replacement: £870mn a year over the next three years.

Not even close. More lies.

Brexit is costing the UK significantly.

Prof Bailey’s study shows that exports to and imports from the EU are around 15 per cent less than compared to a no-Brexit scenario.

🇦🇺🇬🇧The government has signed its first (from scratch) trade deal post-Brexit.
And it is every bit as damaging as warned.

It fails to protect our farmers long-term and allows imports of food produced at lower standards.

[The Australia Deal: A thread]

The free trade agreement with Australia would allow Australian food to be imported that's been produced at lower environmental & animal welfare standards.

Whilst UK standards of food are by no means perfect they differ significantly from Australia. Here are just a few e.g.s:

Australia’s animal welfare standards tend to be lower than the UK. Just a couple of examples: Australia allows hormone-treated beef and ‘mulesing’ - the removal of a sheep’s skin while it is still alive. ciwf.org.uk/news/2021/06/u…

We can't let ministers put a hard border around musicians: europeanmovement.co.uk/musicians_hard… It's been revealed that ministers misled the public at least five times – telling them that visa-free tours for musicians like me were impossible, when the opposite is true #Brexit #BrexitReality
The government’s refusal to strike a deal to rescue visa-free touring of the EU leaves performers facing prohibitive costs and a mountain of red tape – despite it being legally possible for them to have reached such an agreement. #Brexit
Now that Boris Johnson’s claim that he is going to resolve the Brexit crisis for musicians has been revealed as a sham, we cannot let his government get away with this. It is vital that we maintain the pressure on them to reach a deal for the UK's world-beating music industry 👇
