It's clear that even Merkel, who has probably been kindest towards the UK since the referendum, is not willing to give up freedom of movement. We can't move to the Australian-style points system and keep access to the single market.
Richard Branson is also saying that CHinese investors are pulling out of investment in the UK.
From the
Guardian Business Live Blog:
Branson told my colleague
Rob Davies that:
“I met with a group of Chinese businessmen yesterday morning who have invested heavily in England and who are now going to stop investing and withdraw investments they’ve already made.”
“I’m afraid that based on misinformation, people voted for Brexit, which is basically voting for a way of shooting themselves in the foot. The last 2 days has been absolute pandemonium worldwide in the markets, the pound crashing, the stock markets crashing, and we are heading rapidly towards a recession again. It’s just too sad, so so sad.
This isn't an accidental coup, it's been planned, just that the spineless gimps think that brexit can be used as an excuse/reason to oust Corbyn. Careerist and self promoting. It would benefit the country enormously if they were deselected.
No doubt Benn and his fellow travellers' actions were planned. The question is why people on the soft-left of the party are also resigning (Lisa Nandy and Owen Smith). Smith has also claimed that there was a plot, but he wasn't a part of it.
