1 What a quite remarkable week in the independent republic of Brexitlandia:
- the Government wins a vote to repeal the European Communities Act (which gives effect to EU law in the UK) even though the Maybot has said EU law will apply for at least a 2 year transition after we leave 😬
3 - Gov proposes legislating the day Brexit will happen even though it will happen in March 2019 automatically (unless UK & EU agree to extend it - but then UK may be stuck because legislating Brexit day may prevent the option of extending negotiations even if we want to do so)🙄
4 - David Davis tells the EU not to put politics above prosperity 🙄
5 - David David says bankers will get special free movement exemptions but Grimsby which voted 70% leave now wants an exemption for fish exports to the EU (but won't get one)😂😂😂
6 - hard Brexiter John Redwood tells investors to move money from the UK to the EU 😳
7 - EU helps Liam Fox out by stepping into help UK on Bombardier tariff dispute
8 - the Maybot tells Russia to stop interfering in western democracies (but no mention of the U.K. obvs) 🤐
9 - the Government still won't release their Brexit impact assessments in contempt of Parliament. Luckily the EU has published their own which are available on their website 👏👏👏
10 - the Government said they don't want a hard border in Ireland but don't get that leaving the customs union means a hard border and will mess up the Good Friday Agreement 😤
11 - Home Affairs Committee warned that by leaving the customs union Operation Stack will happen on a bigger scale. In 2015 Kent County Council estimated it cost the economy £250m a day. The Government said the solution will be to park lorries in the middle lanes of the M20 😁
12 -this coming Monday the EU announces the new homes for the European Medicines Agency and European Banking Authority - a small clue they will be leaving London😭
13 - reading this back you would think I am making this up. I am not. #takebackcontrol
