So basically Brexit has been cancelled but we're still going to spend loads of money lose all influence over eu law lose lots of business through uncertainty lose the EMA and EBA create vast new UK-only bureaucracies foment social division and lose status. Well done Brexiteers.

Our inept PM gets some more international coverage. How embarrassing that Scotland’s foreign policy has been surrendered to Ms May and her team of chaotic Brexiteers. We could do so much better. #BrexitChaos https://t.co/WAxUSZuU7y via @nybooks

#Brexit #Ireland 1) No hardening of the border 2) Regulatory alignment
on the whole island 3) Respect #GoodFridayAgreement in all its parts.
However, EP will only give green light if these commitments are fully
enforceable.— Guy Verhofstadt (@guyverhofstadt) December 8, 2017

What's happening to Britain over Brexit is heartbreaking. Britain used to be an outward looking society defined by common sense, compassion and intelligence. These positive traits have been replaced by an arrogant, ignorant and insular mentality.
It's tragic in so many ways.— James Melville 🚜 (@JamesMelville) December 8, 2017
