It has been funny, no, hilarious, to hear various Brexiteers trying to say that Airbus' decision to possibly pull out of UK in the event of a bad deal or no deal Brexit.

The Brexiteers have blamed everyone, mostly the EU in bribing Airbus to manufacture in the UK. One particularly stupid Brexiteer suggested nationalising the Airbus factory, thus missing the point that it doesn't matter who owns the factory, its the supply chains that will break with Brexit.

May was asked in a poorly performed interview that when all the negative news and predictions regarding Brexit, why doesn't she want to change course? Because the people voted for it, was her reply. After the lies, deception, overspending, and rubbishing anything anti-Brexit news as #projectfear, when the truth is, Brexit is panning out pretty much as was predicted by those who knew what they were talking about.

The chief Brexiteer and coward, Nigel Farage, claimed that a poorly undertaken Brexit would be worse than no Brexit: I don't remember seeing that written on the side of a bus.

One last thing, manufacturing is over 10% of the UK economy, Airbus generates £1.3 billion in tax revenues, or 20% of the annual bill for being in the EU. As for the area of North Wales, where the main wing factory is, that facility accounts for 40% of the local economy; how will that effect the area, which suffered badly when pits and factories were closed during the Thatcher years.

All this coming just two days after the HoC vote, something industry was hoping would inject some reality into Parliament. As that didn't happen, plan Bs were and are further being put into action.

Expect lots more bad news in the coming months.
