"The Conservative manifesto was to retain UK access to the Single Market. That means EU contributions and probably some sort of nonsense fudge on Freedom on Movement. They can't reverse that pledge."

You don't really understand politics do you?

Since when has a manifesto been completely actioned? It's not passed in law - just as the pledge to reduce immigration to tens of thousands in this parliament.

Taken from the Tory Manifesto.

Clear enough now?

Ok I'll try and make this as simple as possible for you.

Brexit means the UK voted to leave the EU. That includes the freedom of movement and the single market.

Now I'll ask you a question.

Where in the manifesto does it say the Tories want to remain in the single market?

All I've read is that they would prefer to stay in the EU after renegotiating the terms. That renegotiation fell flat on its face as you know and their pledge was then to give us an in/out vote - which as you can see they promised to honour, whatever the result.

We voted out and come April 2019 we should have a day to celebrate our independence. Peferably not 01/04

Hey, wow, UK Gov has said something about what Brexit means!!! Apparently our "leaders" want tariff-free trade for the motor industry. This is what Nissan was told - according to Business Secretary Greg Clark. As far as I know there is still no mention of all the rest of our economy.

If Nissan is part owned by Renault and Renault is part owned by the French state, could it mean the French government have a better idea about May's plans than the British people?

Nice to see that we're playing our cards so close to our chests.
