The Chairperson of the European Movement in Northern Ireland (EMNI) Donal Lyons has warned that the economy ‘doesn’t run on bravado’ following a leaked report which suggested the Northern Ireland economy would take a 12% hit if there is no deal between the UK and EU.
‘Across the European Union, a grim acceptance is taking hold that London may not wish to reach a deal, and that the British government’s actions may have already made one impossible even if it does.’

Two weeks ago hauliers wrote to the government to sound the alarm on customs preparations. Now key IT systems may not be tested until late November.
We cannot afford to add No Deal chaos into this toxic mix.

23 trade groups across Europe: "there will be a 'catastrophic' rise in tariffs" in the case of a No Deal #Brexit, amounting to a £100 BILLION dent in the car industry in the next five years, adding to heavy losses already caused by #Covid19.

This extraordinary statement made at the dispatch box today admits the British Government intends to break international law. It is stupefying. #BrexitLies #BrexitDeal
"Yes this does break international law, in a very specific and limited way."
They lied. https://t.co/iOUFKSouFO
“Is the British government using the fragile peace on this island to get concessions from the EU?” @nealerichmond on @BBCr4today. Anger and bewilderment this morning from Irish gov & NI’s nationalist parties that UK gov is planning laws to override the NI protocol.
Interesting thread on U.K. efforts to barter softer implementation of NI protocol in exchange for expedited NI truck passage on “land bridge” - the bit of the machine that believes a deal is possible is/was working hard on it. https://t.co/oYXepwsvIq
🚨On the NI announcement🚨
First of all, this is not the border operating model we've been waiting for. This is yet another new IT system that will supposedly take care of customs formalities on behalf of biz- but don’t get too excited
