This Tory government is in denial about their incompetent preparations, and at the growing problems from the deal they negotiated with the EU.
Just like their handling of Covid-19, there’s no urgency either.
But the more they ignore issues the bigger they become. [THREAD]

Right now, the biggest industry the Tories have grown is red tape and form filling.
This is all adding to the stress, disruption and delays to British businesses which they can ill afford. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-15/stuck-in-kent-how-brexit-red-tape-strangled-cross-border-trade?sref=yMmXm5Iy

Having spent months talking up this deal as the saviour of British fishing, the problems that have followed have been a stark and concerning contrast.
More and more in the industry highlight the difficulties in selling to vital EU markets. https://twitter.com/pmdfoster/status/1350115584495804417?s=20

Labour’s Shadow DEFRA Secretary @LukePollard has been pressing the government in the Commons and @steph_peacock has written calling for action.
The fishing industry is not happy, and deserves far more respect than this. https://twitter.com/Steph_Peacock/status/1350431004679352320

Our Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary @louhaigh has been pressing the government on the problems facing NI.
She and I spoke up about the serious implications for people in NI last Sunday and called for urgent attention to make the Protocol work. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-55605393

Ministers call these ‘teething problems’.
Tell that to businesses finding it harder to navigate non-tariff barriers the Prime Minister said didn’t exist.
The Tories have failed to listen to businesses, industry groups and unions. They need to start now. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/17/shock-brexit-charges-are-hurting-us-say-small-british-businesses

I asked the Government about the recruitment of new customs agents so many times last year.
It was clear they were going to be vital to helping British businesses cope with changes.
Now, the Tories’ poor preparations are proving costly. https://twitter.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1334054479256317952

As one of our country’s greatest exports, Labour wants our cultural sector, and all those running it, to prosper.
But as @Tim_Burgess writes, this government is holding it back.
We're working with @musiciansunion for new solutions – watch this space. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/brexit-visa-musicians-touring-tim-burgess-b1785657.html

So, what *have* the Tories been doing?
Undermining employment rights of workers. An utter disgrace, as @Ed_Miliband spells out.
This is not the future our country deserves. With the trade union movement, we will oppose cuts to people’s rights at work. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jan/15/government-uk-workers-power-conservatives-britain-rights

The incompetence and the arrogance of this Tory government is breath-taking.
It is holding back British businesses, workers and slowing our economic recovery.
People’s livelihoods are on the line. The UK deserves better than this carelessness. https://twitter.com/Femi_Sorry/status/1350740369756008452?s=20
