Wow, tusk, wow.The childish ramblings of a desparate man, trying to hold together a failing political empire. 29th of March is gonna be sweet.

However, if you wrote the above in satire. It's very good.

The vast majority of laws past we actually have happily voted with the EU to bring in. Were then looking at copying and pasting these same rules going forward. Then you have companies in the US that when Brexit happens are hoping to influence changes in our laws on animal welfare and food standards for the worse.

It's true though? No Brexiteer has ever offered a solution or any ideas to the problem. They're all in hiding and ready to moan when it doesn't go their way.
Should Parliament vote down a Tory Brexit deal or the talks end in no-deal, Conference believes this would constitute a loss of confidence in the Government. In these circumstances, the best outcome for the country is an immediate General Election that can sweep the Tories from power.If we cannot get a general election Labour must support all options remaining on the table, including campaigning for a public vote. If the Government is confident in negotiating a deal that working people, our economy and communities will benefit from they should not be afraid to put that deal to the public.
Good to see Corbyn sticking firm to Labour party policy. https://mobile.twitter.com/jeremycorbyn?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorFor the record, Labour's agreed policy at conference last year was.QuoteShould Parliament vote down a Tory Brexit deal or the talks end in no-deal, Conference believes this would constitute a loss of confidence in the Government.

Odd isn't it? Corbyn has spent his life pushing the Bennite idea that Labour members should determine policy, and that Labour leaders should follow that policy. Surely, he didn't mean that only applies when Labour's members vehemently disagree with HIM?

Pretty grim report by the Bank of England today.GDP is 1.5% lower now than they had predicted it would be by now, back in early 2016.And that anemic growth that we have had is rapidly slowing. Growth in 2019 is predicted to be the lowest since the Great Recession. 1/4 chance of a recession, even if we have a sensible, orderly Brexit. That prospect goes up significantly with No Deal.Only 50% of firms are prepared for No Deal. Of those, being "prepared" means doing what they can to mitigate the worst of the effects. There you go lads. That's what you've foisted on the country. Congratu-f**king-lations.
I might be wrong but I feel that hopes of a second referendum are dwindling by the day.I just don't see it happening now.
Wing IHere you go by the way. This is what has happened to European economies over the past few years. We've averaged about 1% lower growth than the EU since 2016, having been in better shape than them before that. 1% lower GDP growth for 3 years means that we have already lost £60bn of growth. And for every year that we don't pick up, we'll lose a further £30bn.You're a business man. Don't those numbers appal you?
