There’s only a handful of days left for our dangerously distracted government to deliver the oven-ready deal they promised. Leaving without a deal would be devastating for our industries and for consumers - and would have deep repercussions for the UK. 1/6
It takes zero political skill to leave with no deal. None. It requires no strategy, detailed understanding, diplomacy, negotiation, co-operation or vision. It would be the ultimate admission of Tory failure and it’s absolutely damning that it still can’t be ruled out. 2/6
To end up empty-handed with no deal would be devastating for British industries from farming to manufacturing. Useless Tory ministers tour TV studios admitting they have not even modelled the impact of no deal on our industries. They should hang their heads in shame. 3/6
Some Tory MPs might try to deny the reality of trade, but they cannot deny geography. We can and must prosper outside the EU, but sitting right next to the world’s largest single market with tariffs applied to British exports will only harm businesses and jobs. 4/6
It isn’t just about economics. The Good Friday Agreement was one of Labour's greatest achievements. No-one in this wrecking ball of a Tory government would have been capable of securing such a peace agreement. No deal would destabilise Northern Ireland. 5/6
The country expects the govt to get a deal with the EU. The posturing & schoolboy games must end. The Tories must fight for our country's jobs instead of their own. Get real, get the deal promised & focus on defeating Covid-19 and an economic recovery for the whole country. 6/6
