And the sky really won't fall in. That's a promise!
Yet there’s not a credible economic forecast to suggest it will not be bad. Even such ideologically opposes bodies as the TUC and the CBI agree on this. Bad for workers, bad for business. Good for disaster capitalists and the USA.

Parliament does not hold all the cards. You seem to forget that the Government will win a no confidence vote as there is an agreement on that with the DUP.
400 MPs are against no deal. You are assuming we exist in normal circumstances. We don’t. This isn’t another policy area shuffling deckchairs around on the Titanic. This is having sight of the iceberg and choosing to avoid it.
