Today at 4:30 PM, a parliamentary debate will be held on the consequences of Brexit. #BrexitInquiry

The debate comes after a petition calling for an inquiry into the handling of Brexit negotiations received over 175,000 signatures.
An online poll by Omnisis last week showed that 59% of 1,340 voters thought an inquiry should “probably” or “definitely” be launched, with just 25% against.

This shows that there is a clear demand from the public for answers on how Brexit negotiations were handled.
The petition argues that there was a lack of clarity and transparency during the Brexit negotiations, and that the public was misled about the potential consequences of leaving the EU.

Many people feel that the government has failed to deliver on its promises.
An inquiry would provide an opportunity to examine the decision-making process and identify any mistakes that were made.

It could also help to restore public trust in the government and the democratic process.
Some argue that Brexit is a done deal and that an inquiry is no longer necessary.

However, the long-term consequences of Brexit are still unknown, and it is important that we learn from our mistakes to ensure that future decisions are made with greater clarity and transparency.
The debate today is an important step towards holding the government accountable for its actions and ensuring that the public has a voice in the Brexit process.

We need to have a full and frank discussion about the impact of Brexit and how we can move forward as a country.
Many industries have been negatively affected by Brexit, including agriculture, fishing, and manufacturing.

The Brexit deal has created barriers to trade, causing problems for these sectors. This inquiry will help shed light on the impacts and inform future decision-making.
The government's argument that Brexit has been a success is like a mirage in the desert - it may seem like an oasis at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it is nothing but a cruel illusion.
It's like putting lipstick on a pig - no matter how much you dress it up, it's still a pig. It's like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic - it may look nice, but the ship is still sinking.
The fact is, Brexit has caused serious damage to many industries and communities, and the government can't just brush that under the rug. We need to hold those responsible for the consequences of their actions.
It's time for the government to face the music and take responsibility for the damage caused. This inquiry is not just important for the industries and communities affected, but for the future of our country.
You can watch and support the petition debate on Monday, 24th April at 4:30 PM on youtube.com/UKParliament.

1/15: Brexit has had a significant impact on the UK. From trade deals to “taking back control”, the effects have been far-reaching and entirely negative.

So where are we just 3 years on?

A🧵
2/15: The pound has plummeted, leading to rising inflation and a decrease in purchasing power for consumers. The UK is set to have the worst-performing economy in the entire G20 in 2023, bar Russia… the Elephant in the room is Brexit.

3/15: UK businesses have struggled to adapt to the new rules and regulations, leading to job losses and closures. A manufacturer in Dorset said that importing parts to fix machines has been a "nightmare".

Help us pass this lot and address the social media imbalance between us and the Brexit elite.

The European Movement is the UK's fastest growing and largest Pro-EU organisation, and we're holding this government to account over its disastrous Brexit policies. Image
The truth is, the leave campaign, both official and unofficial, lied and deceived the public.

They used enormous platforms on social media to amplify their divisive and outright false claims about immigration, law and the economy.
They spent millions in the pursuit of data and reach. That data was then used to target voters with misleading dark ads, which were designed to gather support for something totally removed from reality.

That was their entire social media strategy, from day one.

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.’

🇦🇺🇬🇧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]

bbc.co.uk/news/business-…
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 👇
