I’ve noticed a few #Brexit supporters on here claiming that a #NoDealBrexit is somehow the will of the people. Here’s a reminder of the Brexit that was promised (thread):

1/ “Absolutely nobody is talking about threatening our place in the single market.” @DanielJHannan 12/5/15.

2/ “The day after we vote to leave, we hold all the cards & we can choose the path we want.” @michaelgove 9/4/16.

“Getting out of the EU can be quick & easy, the UK holds most of the cards.” @johnredwood 17/7/16.

3/“British people will still be able to work, live, travel, study, buy homes & settle in the EU. There will continue to be free trade & access to the single market.” @BorisJohnson 26/6/16.

“There will be no downside to Brexit, only a considerable upside.” @DavidDavisMP 10/10/16.

4/ “The free trade agreement that we will have to do with the #EuropeanUnion should be one of the easiest in human history.” Dr @LiamFox 20/7/17.

“Most of the EU states are very sympathetic to our view.” @DavidDavisMP 15/5/17.

5/ “I believe that we can get a free trade and customs agreement concluded before March 2019.” @DavidDavisMP 18/1/17.

“There is no plan for ‘no deal’, because we’re going to get a great deal.” @BorisJohnson 11/7/17.

6/ “Within 2 years, before the negotiation is likely to be complete & anything material changes, we can negotiate a free trade area massively larger than the EU. New agreements will come into force at the point of exit, but they will be fully negotiated.” @DavidDavisMP 14/7/16.

7/ “We didn’t vote leave without a deal. That wasn’t the message of the campaign. We should do a deal & be part of the network of free trade deals that covers Europe. Leaving without a deal wouldn’t honour that commitment. It would cause economic turbulence.” @michaelgove 3/3/19.

8/ “I’ve looked carefully at ‘no deal’. That outcome would be a failure of statecraft.” @BorisJohnson 9/9/19.

“We have an #OvenReadyDeal, let’s put it in the microwave, as soon as we get back after the election on 12 December.” @BorisJohnson 31/10/19.

9/ “I can assure the hon. lady that there will be no crashing out, because we will negotiate a great new friendship & partnership within the timescale. I know that hon. members on both sides of the House have every confidence in the Government to do that.” @BorisJohnson 22/10/19.

10/ “Our deal is the only one on the table. It is signed, sealed and ready. It puts the whole country on a path to a new free trade agreement with the EU. This will be a new relationship based on free trade & friendly cooperation.” @Conservatives Party Manifesto 24/11/19.
