Well please be careful because now we've left the EU we are all due waves of super gonorrehoea.
Wrapping yourself in the #EU flag and putting #FBPE in your bio is the only known cure

Its Day 1 outside the #EU so we wanted to remind you of all the things Remainers told you would happen on #Brexit day.
Never in the history of political movements has one side fibbed so spectacularly and (at times) hilariously.

We were fed (excuse the pun) stories as late as November 2020 that #Brexit would lead to 60% reduction in haulage meaning 'months' of food shortages.

As late as October 2020 we were told that all flights would be grounded.
Both sides quietly agreed to contingencies in December. Quelle surprise!

The EU scheme obtained...zero...ventilators.

We were told the only way to get vaccines fast and efficiently was through the #EU. #Brexit 'would delay things'. Instead the UK fast tracked approval and is a month ahead of Brussels, saving thousands of lives.

In reality, the New York Times reports that "a new era began Friday morning without much fuss"

Yet on Day 1, the UK government have banned the environmentally catastrophic practice of pulse fishing putting our fishing standards above those of the EU.
Super trawlers next!

Brexit baby boom anyone?

So much so that Donald Tusk said #Brexit would lead to the 'destruction of western civilisation'.
Tins hats on!!

Sperm.
We were told our vote would lead to a national sperm shortage.

Like Siemens who threatened to depart...
...then invested ┬г310m into a wind turbine blade manufacturing facility in Hull creating 1,000 jobs, with a further ┬г200m investment in Goole (700 jobs)

Instead they got just hundreds. And the financial services sector went from strength to strength.
Humble pie ЁЯез

Well they went on to spend ┬г1 billion on a huge new European HQ...in London.
They have just said the UK is 'strong buy' in the medium/long term.
https://t.co/tpzwsge5iC
They now say the UK will strengthen its position as 5th biggest economy globally, roaring ahead of France - the EU's great hope - as our tech sector 'booms'.
Je ne regrette rien

Errrrrrm. Wrong again.
WeтАЩve rolled over or improved every single meaningful trade deal.

Paging тАШDaveтАЩ and George Osbourne! We just agreed exactly that.
Instead, post 2016, the sector grew even faster and widened the cap between the U.K. and itтАЩs European competitors.
Whoops!

Tell that to Aldi who are removing EU producers and making a ┬г3.5 billion investment in over 1000 local UK food and drink companies.
Yum! ЁЯеШ

RIP to the BLT after #Brexit
I mean sure, it has been a staple of the British table since the 1700s, but apparently we now need to be part of the EU to enjoy a ham sarnie.

The number of European doctors working in the UK has been declining since 2010, long before #Brexit, but actually went UP in the last 12 months.
Nurse! Remainers are telling fibs again!

A further thread on the EU/UK musicians/visa for paid work issue (the issue is paid work: travelling to sing or play at eg a charity event for free can be done without a visa).
The position that we now have now (no relevant provisions under the TCA) is complicated. For EU musicians visiting the UK see
In essence the UK permits foreign (including EU) nationals to stay up to 30 days to carry out paid engagements, but they must (a) prove they are a professional musician and (b) be invited by an established UK business.
Either condition could be tricky for a young musician starting out and wanting to play gigs. And 30 days isnтАЩt long enough for a part in a show with a run.
Longer stays require a T5 visa - which generally requires you to be in a shortage occupation (play an instrument not played in the UK?) or to have an established international reputation.
Disgraceful and shabby if true: not only ideologically blinkered, but ashamed to admit its ideological blinkers and their consequences. https://t.co/7PgOEogTlA
