‘Britain’s former growth model, dependent on unsustainable credit growth & inward investment associated with the UK being the best site to export into the EU, has collapsed. Babble about exploiting #brexit opportunities is just babble: trade is shrinking, with it private investment. There is no plan, no vision, no strategy, no institutional architecture that might offer better’ theguardian.com/commentisfree/

Brexit 

So, according to the Times 'Britain mulls Swiss-style ties with Brussels'. Has nobody told the Tories that the EU does not want a 'Swiss-style' deal? And with the ERG threatening to bring the government down over any such deal, there is no point in the EU negotiating one.

Brexit 

@bullivant I think the EU wouldn't have minded a swiss style agreement. But, the UK didn't want freedom of movement.
Also, the deal is signed, the negotiations are over.
Why are the British still arguing over this? The EU has moved on.

@CarolineLucas Words mean nothing in UK politics at the moment, the liar is rewarded and honoured.

Huge elephant in the room is #Brexit. Hunt didn't once mention how it's contributed to 4% productivity drop, 15% trade drop, 6% food price increase, lower wages, workforce shortages & highest inflation in G7. Why won't Govt call it out? #AutumnStatement

@oranger2020 @SBenita It feels like an entitled position for these British to take. Much like the entitled position they took, when they thought they should be allowed to keep their Citizenship after

@michael_h I am more annoyed by Joe Blogs comments on this (either that they are made or are amplified). There can be real issues, but false comparisons are both unhelpful, and insulting

Interesting comparison of health care waiting list numbers across Europe from the FT. Personally I was looking at Ireland vs Sweden.

@sliabh people love to shit talk Ireland, especially the opposition party. It's just populist bullshit. They have no solutions, just complaints.
