Dangerous times

The Centre for European Reform (CER) published a report showing that the UK economy is 2.5% smaller already than it would have been if the UK had voted to remain. That equates to £19billion per year, or £360 million a week, £10 million more what the Brexiteers said on the side of a bus the UK would have extra if we left.

This is the real cost of Brexit, that will have real effects if we do end up leaving, in that the exchequer will have far lest to spend, and with more and more people to lose their jobs, less money to spread around to the old, sick, poor.

But how about that Brexit bonus, eh?

The front page of The Sunday Times suggested the Government could advise the Queen not to sign soft Brexit legislation that Parliament might pass. Think about that for the moment and try to equate that with the Brexit promise of returning sovereignty to Westminster? So the aim seems to be to keep more and more power with a small group of Ministers and have that power not subject to appeal or legal challenge.

These are the actions of a fascist state, and I don't use the term lightly. There is huge pressure on MPs to bow down to the alter of Brexit tomorrow, and in Conservative associations, stating with Dominic Grieve's, the deselection of moderates who advocate which was mainstream Conservative policy until 2016.

Some members of the Government are at least acknowledging the fact that the Government would have to accept what Parliament decides, if it can agree on anything.

What will happen? Well, I think possibly May's deal, but with that and remain being put to a referendum vote.

Any extension beyond April 12th will require the UK to prepare and participate in EU elections in May. Those who say this is not the case are either lying or ignorant. Or both.
