[thread] I would be able to move on from brexit if......
I want you to be able to hold your held up high as you win
As Margaret Thatcher puts it
"The manner of winning is a matter of honour."
You have nothing except empty hollow platitudes of "sea of opportunity", "seize the opportunity" , "move on" , "our friends and neighbours"
That really is lowering the barrel even further
There are 3 simple questions to ask any brexit salesperson or buyer

1. How did you win?
2. What did you win?
3. How do we move on? https://t.co/B77gDpNXZM

But that's ok
Priti only meant it unintentionally
And she was frustrated when she said it
So that's

The most difficult thing I find is writing the hook into a thread
There is a simple word
It is called Imagine
But first I want to focus on a different topic

It's not like the UK talked of invading Spain or Calais
Or was busy trying to incite Irexit, Itexit or the AfD or so other discord in the EU
After all that 50 pence piece
Talks of friendship
So surely we were good friends?
Those liars who had nothing
And knew they had nothing
Well they passed their withdrawal agreement
Knowing they never had any intention of honouring

What are you prepared to sacrifice for brexit ?

Oh yes and a reminder
How many Tory MPs are unashamed they passed legislation without forming an opinion on it
Beware the "baying mob"
Beware the "revisionist purge"
There must always be a culture war
There is a statue that needs protection from a "baying mob"
As they piss/spaff on her every time they walk past https://t.co/RiIkJVdOtp

Every statue will be given greater protection from "baying mobs" and road names could be saved from the "revisionist purge" of Labour councils, under law changes to be published on Mondayhttps://t.co/hMVElO2qHq
Thatcher
“Britain does not renounce Treaties.
Indeed, to do so would damage our own integrity as well as international relations.“
Anyone remember "in a very specific and limited way"
Or lying to Queen to unlawfully prorogue

More from Brexit
There is continued growing unease. The main picture remains one of depressed/tentative trade (c50% down y-o-y) and some high profile logistics business have taken the rational step to stop and regroup.
The big worry here is that ‘not-trading’becomes a habit. We can’t/won’t carry on at half the volumes of before, but as volumes claw back we may only reach something like 80% of previous volumes and that is a disaster for a food industry already battered by a recession.
Lots of focus has been on the idea of EU businesses stopping serving the UK. Worries about how we feed ourselves has trumped worry about our exporters at every stage. Even though it is the collapse of our export businesses that is (and has always been) the greater threat.
To reassure the mainland British shopper that feels like less of a risk. UK is a large market of wealthy consumers, and UK gov has shown it will do anything (however unfair) to ensure stuff gets in - even letting supermarkets have access to the fast track lane to Dover.

I am not as close to this but it feels like shortage on the shelves is more of a genuine immediate threat for the island of Ireland. The types of innovative solutions we have discussed this week can help but will they come in quick enough?
