A thread about Brexit and the impact it will have. It’ll decimate the Red Wall.

COVID is a killer, it’ll kill any and all theoretical benefits of Brexit, levelling up is dead, reducing child poverty won’t happen, full employment is a decade away, balancing the books is a fantasy and a return to a manufacturing super giant is a goner. The union will fall apart and the structural and political flaws in Northern Ireland will have to be addressed. Our banking prowess will fall away as the EU takes back control.

Ventilators

The misunderstanding of the ventilator issue has reached epic proportions, it’s nearly all fake news and misdirected. We do need ventilators but not just any ventilator, the general public are woefully ill informed, virtually illiterate. The ventilators that have been ordered are a new design specifically aimed at this disease. We don’t have enough trained staff and beds for high end equipment. To understand the issue you need to read the spec drawn up by clinicians to enable continuous use outside an ICU.

The Brexit negotiations must conclude by the end of June, the Brexit panic has yet to set in.

The UK is staring down the barrel of its own gun.

The EU are just waiting for us to pull the trigger.

They won’t flinch. The EU isn’t in a panic, they don’t need us, they’ve already decided to endure some minor economic fall out, to bridge the EU budget gap, to continue to integrate, to reduce barriers further.

They want us to stay but not at any price, if we want so called liberty then off we go.
