on the rooftop of the penthouse apartment given to #3blokesinapub for our stay here.... (not quite given but cheaper than an air BnB thanks to the amazing support from the fine folk in this part of the world that also think Brexit is a catastrophic idea). /2
@everycountry and I have had some REALLY interesting meetings today in Gibraltar with some exceedingly high level contacts and finished the evening with the fine folk from Brexpats in Spain... 2 more episodes of #3blokes in the can and coming soon! /3
Hiya my fine Followers, it's been a bit hectic once again as you saw from last weekend.... Dorset, Chester, Liverpool... back to London and Lancaster today. We've uploaded 3 new episodes since Friday and have more coming soon...
I'm in Trowbridge tomorrow evening and I understand over 150 people in the room followed on Thursday evening in Bath before flying to Malaga to talk to some UK ex-pats (immigrants) in Spain to find out what life is like there amid all the uncertainty..
From Malaga to Gibraltar as that's quite a special case before Episdoes of #3blokes in Dublin and along the border line and another in Belfast.... I am amazed at the level of access that is being granted to @EveryCountry and myself at some of the highest levels in Geneva...

3/ thousands of implications of no deal is that UK companies would no longer have the right to hold data of their customers in the EU....
#3Blokesinapub are in Brussels today meeting senior figures from the Council, the European Parliament and the European Commission and UK business leaders in the EU.
2/ We've spent significant time developing our relationships to get these meetings set up so that we can give you the facts from the horses mouth.
3/ Our fund is running out fast following Geneva and logistics in place for Brits in Limbo in Malaga, Gibraltar, covering the panic on the island of Ireland about the border and much more.
Two short stories before I head to bed for a 3am start tomorrow... @EveryCountry and I are in Brussels tomorrow for a breakfast meeting for #3Blokesinapub fact finding at

3/ as “Project Fear”. When UK mainstream media discuss job loses, it is likely underestimated by a factor of at least SIX. The evidence gathered by #3Blokes shows prospective economic devastation for the engine of the UK.
So... planes delayed. We've just finished watching back the first part of #3blokesinapub in Geneva. We don't normally do that, we film and then @EveryCountry does all the behind the scenes dirty work like the hero that he is..... but this time
2/ we've met some super senior experts (there are a lot of them in Geneva) and we talked under Chatham House Rules in order that they could speak more candidly..... and oh BOY did they speak candidly.
3/ This next episode and the next part filmed this afternoon are explosive for the UK Government and the heads of the Brexit snake.

A little thread here about potential problems for SME's in a No Deal scenario.
We import some components from the Far East and receive these 5 to 10 times every year. We have to pay import duties and VAT when they arrive, which can cause serious cash flow problems /1

We pay our domestic VAT quarterly in arrears. It also means we have to be able to pay this immediately as soon as the ship docks, otherwise the shipping agent will not release the goods and will charge storage charges. /2
The shipping agent can defer the payment of the upfront VAT, but we are still asked to pay it to the agent upfront, so that doesn't help. We can ask to get a deferment account, a DAN, with HMRC which means the VAT will be paid quarterly, with domestic VAT, so we did that. /3
Finally home from work. What an absolutely amazing day! Met with some incredible people this morning in Westminster from a variety of Remain campaign groups, MPs, MEPs, senior Civil Servants (and former), wandered past and said hi to Steve Bray and
