👇🏻The brass neck of the Labour leader claiming our failure to leave the EU today is Boris Johnson’s fault is staggering. Corbyn and this rotten Remainer Parliament conspired at every turn to prevent Brexit today - despite being elected on a ticket of delivering Brexit in 2017. 🤬
Boris Johnson has spent months promising we'd leave the EU today. The failure to do so is his and his alone. Labour will get Brexit sorted by giving the people the final say within six months with the choice of a credible leave deal or remain. And we'll carry out what you decide.

Well, well, well. Michel Barnier is the latest EU figure to admit that in the event of No Deal there will be “no hard border” on the island of Ireland. This demonstrates the EU has been negotiating in bad faith in respect of its insistence on the backstop.
Barnier: 'In the case of no deal in all scenarios the GFA will continue to apply. The UK will remain a co-guarantor. There will be no hard border. We have to respect the SM but also out of respect for UK internal market there are going to have to be checks carried out somewhere.'
