First they came for the 🐟

And John Redwood said the 🇬🇧 fishing industry would adjust

Then they came for the 🐖 farmers and 🐷 exports

And they said don't worry, it's just teething problems
Next they came for the 🦪 exporters

And there the Minister wrote a letter saying 🇪🇺 was wrong, when his officials knew 🇪🇺 was right
Then the 🧪 industries worried about the 💷 of making a new database to replace REACH

They're still waiting
The 🚛🚚 operators fear that a load of vehicles are returning to 🇪🇺 empty, and volumes are down

We do not recognise the numbers, the 🇬🇧 Government says
This all hit the exporters of seed 🥔 so badly

They cannot even send the potatoes to Northern Ireland
🧀 producers and 👟 stores had problems in their supply chains

So they set up operations in 🇪🇺 countries, something 🇬🇧 Department for International Trade acknowledged was a good idea
🇮🇪 businesses feared the 📑 to get anything on a ⛴ at a 🇬🇧 port

So they put on half a dozen 🇮🇪-🇫🇷 ⛴ routes to avoid 🇬🇧 altogether
A mass of share trade has moved from 🇬🇧 to 🇳🇱

And so the boss of the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏦 "warns" 🇪🇺 they are being unfair, but has no solution
1.3 million 🇪🇺 citizens have 🇬🇧➡️ in the past 12 months

No one knows who will do the jobs these people did once the economy recovers somewhat post-COVID
⏰ WAKE UP UK! ⏰

However you look at it, this makes *no sense*

It's not if you're pro-Brexit or not. It's about having a sensible view of the economic future of the country. Where is it?

And they forgot the 🎸🎤🎶 and their 🚛🔊 meaning they could not tour 🇪🇺 any more

But despite it being a major industry for 🇬🇧, the Government has not sought to solve the problem
And it was not just 🐖 but 🐷🍬 as well

Marks & Spencer might have to adjust its supply chain for Percy Pig sweets, and meanwhile its 🇫🇷 stores are running low on 🥪 too

To those saying that those who have got their public health advice wrong earlier in the pandemic should put up their hands and apologise... a little cautionary lesson from another sector

A short 🧵

Public health is not my thing

But Brexit is

And throughout 2019 and 2020 I have been trying to make predictions as to what will happen in that story. Lives do not depend on this, only my professional reputation (marginally) does

2/12

The three series of #BrexitDiagram I made in 2019 were extraordinarily accurate

Series 1/2

Series 3

Series 4
https://t.co/yRsQ8mLGj1

Each series got that stage of Brexit right

3/12

The 2020 series was nowhere near as good - at one stage I had No Deal Brexit at 78% chance in early December - and that was not what

I own this error - I was wrong

I know *why* I was wrong - I thought the European Parliament would fight more on Provisional Application, and I thought agreeing everything in a week wouldn't work. I wasn't right

The Manston crisis / borders closing changed something too
