We update @BrexitRecord every day with news stories which demonstrate how Brexit has affected the country. We have uploaded over 1,000 pieces and our recent video is a brief yet sobering look at how so-called ‘Project Fear’ is really ‘Project Reality’ 1/17
Rather than receiving an extra £350 million a week in funding, the NHS is having to deal with even larger staff shortages that, should they continue, will irreparably damage the care it can provide. 2/17
EU nurses are choosing not to practice in the UK. 3/17 bbc.co.uk/news/health-40…
If GPs leave, many could lose their local doctor. 4/17 brexitrecord.com/4575/
The economy – while by no means perfect – was more stable pre-referendum. Now, a capricious inflation means the cost of living is increasing. Wages won't keep up. 5/17 theguardian.com/money/2017/dec…
Further, the EU ruled out a bespoke UK trade deal so any hope that our economic woes will be salved by the other side is highly unlikely. 6/17 standard.co.uk/news/uk/eu-rul…
The car industry is similarly beleaguered. Jaguar Land Rover cutting more than 1,000 job cuts is a chilling reminder of the extent to which British businesses need a healthy economy and access to large trading markets to thrive. 7/17 reuters.com/article/us-bri…
Vauxhall, too, has cut jobs. 8/17 theguardian.com/business/2018/…
And Aston Martin seeking to make and certify cars in the EU is directly attributable to Brexit. 9/17 uk.reuters.com/article/uk-ast…
Small businesses and agriculture haven’t escaped, either. 260 jobs were lost when Kent-based Southern Salads was forced to close. 10/17 kentonline.co.uk/tonbridge/news…
Those businesses which aren’t going bust are moving abroad. 11/17 theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
In academia, staff departures are growing across a number of universities. 12/17 thecourieronline.co.uk/leading-profes…
13/17 standard.co.uk/news/uk/imperi…
Research projects for a variety disciplines have been curtailed or pushed out of reach for UK-based academics. 14/17 theguardian.com/education/2016…
Small and large financial firms are questioning if their future lies in London. Many have already opted to move to or establish a base in Europe. 15/17 ft.com/content/7e7d44…
These few stories from our video represent a tiny percentage of the news we have collected 16/17.

It is difficult to explain in tweets but there is a clear path to fascism linked to the path of capitalism. And what we are seeing on the streets is evidence of that. It is to do with the scale of business, the increased amount of power in corporate hands vs Nation State. 1/
Put it this way if small companies complain about regulations that stop them exploiting customers the regs won't change, but if a huge multinational with revenue of a small country complains they can change regs, change policy, change gov 2/
And in the last 30 yrs we have seen an unprecedented increase in scale of business and size of company. We can relate this to the Big Bang in the financial markets, allowing the use of complex trading instruments to support extraordinary M&A activity creating corporate giants 3/

1. Nobody ought to be surprised by the ineptitude unfolding in British politics in respect of #Brexit. Brexit really just brings it centre stage - but it has been there all along for those who care to look...
2. Take the Iraq invasion. Our generals assured us that it was just a matter of keeping the peace and ti was our recent experience in Northern Ireland than made us the operational experts. That assessment proved to be... less than accurate. Some might say breathtakingly arrogant
3. We assumed that we could keep the peace by running a hearts and minds operation going out in soft skinned landrovers. It didn't take long for that idea to disintegrate and soon we were taking avoidable casualties and losing control of the situation.

1) #Brexit - reality check, only Remain makes sense for our long term sanity

It's time to state some home truths, this is a mess, and it's only going to get messier. Leaver or Remainer, it's time to step back and recognise there's only one way out - Remain
2) firstly, the reality is there is little love for #Brexit left in the country. Maybe 35% of the country max still actively crave it, the rest are either resigned to it or hate it.

"Just get on with it" is a brief step from "just make it go away"
3) even #BBCqt, that great fortress of Leave support, is changing. Hartley-Brewer's cry of "we've had a people's vote!" would normally guarantee a whoop & a cheer, not any more, it got barely a ripple

Faith in Brexit is draining away

THREAD:

1. So who do I mean when I refer to the "Brexit Blob"? There's the usual suspects. Redwood, Rees-Mogg, Paterson and the other nonentity backbenchers, and then there;s the Tufton Street sock puppet think tanks and then the ayatollahs of #Brexit.
2. These will be people like Lawson, Ruth Lea, Hartley Brewer, Brendan O'Neill, John Longwoth, Kate Hoey, Gisela Stuart Low Fact Chloe, John Mills and so on and so forth. The ones who aren't lying are stone stupid.
3. These are the people who colluded to ensure that novbody outside the Westminster bubble got a voice in the campaign. That is why The Leave Alliance has struggled to win any exposure. Partly thanks to Hannan's sabotage early on - aided by the Bruges Group.

1) Thread - All Brexits are bad and what we voted for
It's often said by brexiters that "it's not all about economics"
However, the *actual* Leave campaign was almost wholly about economic arguments

With the leak of this 2-8% report those arguments are now trashed
2) We seem to have forgotten this however economics played a huge part in the Vote Leave campaign, making up over 2/3rds of the primary arguements. The clear message was we would at the least be no worse off and at best much better off. 4 of the 6 below state this clearly
3) & the fact is voters believed we would be no worse off. People prioritized immigration certainly, but against a backdrop of there being no consequences from Brexit - few are prepared to actually pay for ending FoM
