Suprising... Now we know that he didn't use the

vote to become PM... He truly believed in it...

chrisy
@Chrisisfake
that's even more worrying that he actually had faith in brexit
(((Graham)))
@GrahamGham
I think he was going to run until he saw how much of a screw up leaving has been so far
@Chrisisfake
@RealTrevinShu
@cnnbrk
Trevin Shu
@RealTrevinShu
He could've run... Recent polling had him in 2nd place...
(((Graham)))
@GrahamGham
To be honest im surprised he's dropped out, unless he's waiting for the next general election to run
@RealTrevinShu

@Gus_Harriador
I don't think anyone can make a judgement anywhere like that at this point.

@GrahamGham
Thats why I said "so far" it might get better, but its not been a great week
@Gus_Harriador
@Chrisisfake
@RealTrevinShu
@cnnbrk
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
I think it's been an absolutely brilliant week.
(((Graham)))
@GrahamGham
Apart from the market dip, UK credit rating loss, and that £350 mill "mistake"...

@RealTrevinShu
Well they were all predicted... People didn't listen now they have to live with their

@RealTrevinShu
mistake...
(((Graham)))
@GrahamGham
Uncertainty is ok, but an hour after the result they say 1 of the key arguments is wrong
@RealTrevinShu
@Gus_Harriador
@Chrisisfake
@cnnbrk
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
Why is it a mistake???
Trevin Shu
@RealTrevinShu
Well a lot of think that we should've renegotiated our deal with the EU...
Trevin Shu
@RealTrevinShu
We've that opportunity still (2 years) but our leverage has decreased significantly
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
No it has not diminished at all.
Trevin Shu
@RealTrevinShu
The pound dropping & the rating agencies lowering the UK credit rating = leverage diminished
(((Graham)))
@GrahamGham
It really has, the EU are going to make an example of us <- their actual words
@Gus_Harriador
@RealTrevinShu
@Chrisisfake
@cnnbrk
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
I'm not interested in the small minded drivel. We're interdependent, hurt us and it hurts them.
Trevin Shu
@RealTrevinShu
How would it hurt them? 27 member states vs 1 who decided to vote to leave...
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
Why have you been sold 'us and them'. I work in Frankfurt and have not heard anything of the sort.
Trevin Shu
@RealTrevinShu
Well the EU member states are pissed didn't you see them attempt to humiliate Farage 48 hours ago?
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
I don't care about Farage. He's a twat. The UK has a strong position and that won't change.
(((Graham)))
@GrahamGham
Farage doesn't need anyone to humiliate him he does it fine on his own
@RealTrevinShu
@Gus_Harriador
@Chrisisfake
Trevin Shu
@RealTrevinShu
It will hurt all sides but the EU member states are pissed & pissed off countries/people do not make
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
You're guessing.
Trevin Shu
@RealTrevinShu
rational decisions... (Ex voting to leave EU & EU member states trying to take revenge)
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
Sorry, that's defeatist nonsense.
Trevin Shu
@RealTrevinShu
Well IMO they should all go home for a few months & comeback with cooler heads...
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
That's what will happen...
Trevin Shu
@RealTrevinShu
Hasn't so far... The EU member states trying to humiliate the biggest pro leave person is proof it
Trevin Shu
@RealTrevinShu
hasn't...
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
I couldn't care less what they said to Farage.
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
...because the UK economy imports shit loads from the EU...
(((Graham)))
@GrahamGham
It was quoted somewhere the impact on Germany would be about 0.5% which is a hit they will take
@Gus_Harriador
@RealTrevinShu
@Chrisisfake
(((Graham)))
@GrahamGham
To prevent other countries thinking it would be a good idea to leave the EU
@Gus_Harriador
@RealTrevinShu
@Chrisisfake
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
This is the type of stuff that initially pushed me towards LEAVE. It's just scaremongering.
(((Graham)))
@GrahamGham
That was in the Telegraph which was a Leave paper I think
@Gus_Harriador
@RealTrevinShu
@Chrisisfake
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
I don't read the UK press, I think they're a disgrace. All of them.
(((Graham)))
@GrahamGham
If you don't read them how did their "scaremongering" convince you to vote leave?
@Gus_Harriador
@RealTrevinShu
@Chrisisfake
(((Graham)))
@GrahamGham
Found the article.

@Gus_Harriador
@RealTrevinShu
@Chrisisfake
Our politicians need to wake up: there will be no sweetheart EU deal for Britain
In Brussels this week there has been a strong element of “I told you so” on both sides of the new European divide.

Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
I wasn't referring to the press, I was referring to the REMAIN campaign.
(((Graham)))
@GrahamGham
Fair enough, I was referring to a news story, you meant Remain camp, crossed wires there
@Gus_Harriador
@RealTrevinShu
@Chrisisfake
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
...and I didn't say they convinced me to leave
Gustavo
@Gus_Harriador
I'm sure their exporters will love hearing that all the way up the supply chain.
