From twitter
Japanese ambassador in Downing Street unusually candid after PM meet with Nissan, Toyota, Honda etc:
“If there’s no profitability of continuing operations in UK no private company can continue operations...simple as that... this is all high stakes all of us need to keep in mind.”

Hope there's enough jobs printing passports to keep us all in work

I plan to open a factory to produce Brilliant Bendy British Bananas TM          

Zero-hours contracts at minimum wages for everyone!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't all rush now

On the thorny issue of the border between the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland, Mr Barnier said there was agreement that a hard border must be avoided, but added: "It is important to tell the truth.

"A UK decision to leave the single market and to leave the customs union would make border checks unavoidable."

I assume no one can be in the least surprised by this.

Would love nothing more than a United Ireland tbh. However if it does transpire that NI can get a special deal, I want to see the Scottish Govt hammer home the message that we aren’t getting equal treatment in this nation of equals.

Surely we go back to square one again? 

Hard border means no deal hard Brexit as Republic of Ireland won't agree?

N.Ireland stays in Single Market and UK government loses DUP support ?

The only thing that would please me about a United Ireland, is that those fuckwits in the North would have nothing at all to do with us anymore

The population of Ayrshire would boom in the short term...

It’s going to get tougher and tougher for the Tories and their fellow travellers.  All this talk about leaving the customs union and no hard border is proving to be the utter nonsense that all thinking people knew it to be.

If the Tories were only dependent on the DUP to enforce Brexit I’d see this as the breaking point, but Corbyn is going hand Brexit to May on a plate.

Rumours on twitter that May has agreed to go down the no deal brexit route to keep the right wingers happy who are threatening mutiny. What a fucking disgrace, I think there will be mass civil unrest coming.

Doubt it. We'll just blame the omniclustershitstormfuck on the EU. We've now moved on to blaming the consequences of our actions on the consequences of our actions. "They're putting a border up?" "They're not going to give us free trade?" "They're taking the EU institutions away from the UK?" "They're going to make decisions without us having a say?" "We're better out than staying in with these monsters."

Channel 4 news has turned into a daily diet of 'Remoaners' rolling their eyes at the absolute madness that is being presented to them by the other side of the debate.  The other night on the subject of the Irish border some Tory MP was telling is there wouldn't be a border because 'we' wouldn't put one up. Insinuating that any barriers to trade and movement would be 'their' fault. Not ours for leaving the fucking trade bloc, but theirs. Tonight it was the claim that we'll wander in to a Canada like trade deal (whatever the f**k that means) so everything will be fine, the tone giving the impression that the EU wouldn't have a say in it. Absolute batshit fucking mental.

ETA: Missed the bit in bold.
