BREXIT CENTRAL

Andrew R T Davies (an economist) has written a piece for Brexit Central (HERE) where he rails against all the delays in triggering Article 50. The abstract for the piece says this:

"Nobody said Brexit would be easy – the European Union was designed to be extremely difficult to pick apart".

But this is one of the remainers biggest gripes. We WERE told it would be easy.  He goes on in the article to say:

"Despite Brexit: unemployment fell again this month to 4.8% – a far lower rate than the EU average; consumer spending rose by 4.2% in September; and we now know that Britain will have the fastest growing economy in the G7 this year (although you wouldn’t necessarily know it if you had a quick scan of the Twittersphere…)".

Remember we are still in the EU, Article 50 has not been triggered and we are still burdened by all the EU regulations. It will be fascinating next year and perhaps also 2018 when the economy slows and unemployment rises, to see how Mr Davies will explain the apparent conflict of the UK doing well inside the EU and then doing much worse after Article 50 is triggered.

BREXIT CENTRAL LAUNCHING IN SEPTEMBER

Fraser Nelson of The Spectator is clearly getting a bit unnerved by the action of various groups trying to upset the Brexit apple cart (HERE) and thinks it's time to defend Brexit from those he says are mounting an effective rearguard action.  He actually believes, "The vision of Brexit sold in the campaign was detailed, liberal, globally minded and massively popular. It’s time to start fighting for it once again". Detailed?  Really?  Mr Nelson would like to think he's clever but my mother would say he's as dim as a nightlight.

However, seemingly in response to Fraser Nelson's call. Jonathan Isaby of The Taxpayer's Alliance has announced (HERE) he is leaving to become editor of a website called Brexit Central, started by Matthew Elliot who was behind Leave's most egregious and misleading claims.  The objective is to “make the case for the clear, open version of Brexit that was described, and endorsed, at the referendum”

I think it shows that Leave never had any kind of post vote plan, not even to start a website to encourage the government to go through with Brexit.  It is only the response of remainers that has shown the war has not even started yet - the vote to leave was only the declaration and the first battles are months away yet.  I'll sign up to keep an eye on what they're doing.
