After a week visiting #Delhi and #Mumbai in #India and talking to people in Universities, thinktanks, business and international trade about #Brexit, a short thread summarising what I heard. /1
The EU is seen primarily as a free trade bloc, and a successful one. Therefore, for the UK to leave in order to pursue 'free trade' is seen as somewhat baffling. /2
UK policy on migration is well-known and the referendum was seen, in part, as the UK turning its back on Europe - but also the world. The refusal to discuss high-skilled migration from India to the UK will prevent discussions on trade. 3
1/ After the #WindrushScandal media, politicians & organisations are worried that the 3.6m EU citizens in the UK might fall into the #HostileEnvironment after Brexit. The truth is that we are already deep in it. 
2/ part of the #HostileEnvironment is the right-to-rent scheme. Threatening Landlords with £3k fine should they rent to someone undocumented. @RLA_PEARL research shows that as a result 1 in 6 landlords already reluctant to let to EU citizens.
3/ Employers are also already discriminating against EU citizens in fear of the £20k fine they face as part of #HostileEnvironment. Triggering @PaulBlomfieldMP to write to @DavidDavisMP last August
1/ @YvetteCooperMP surgically picks the Home Office & Amber Rudd a part over the #WindrushScandal. 'Paulette Wilson, a British citizen in her 60s, locked up in Yarlswood.'
2/ @YvetteCooperMP to Rudd: ' Targets for removals when were they set?' Rudd: 'We don't have targets for removals.' Cooper: 'Oh you did.'
3/ @YvetteCooperMP describes how immigration enforcement officers were instructed to look for 'low hanging fruit' to meet targets.

You voted to initiate A50, Ken Clarke didn't.
The UK is a founding member of the EASA which Rolls-Royce uses on a daily basis.
Will Rolls Royce be moving to Spain due to your vote?

Now that the @Conservatives have
stopped being the: "party of business" and are now the "erstwhile party of business” what should SME's do?

1/ A few clips from @RemainiacsCast with oodles of Brexit analysis and chatter. Peter Collins on Nigel Farage, ' Farage is in favour of the will of the people, but it turns out actually just the will of the old people & not the young...'
3/ 'You can’t appease the ignorant minority of xenophobes in this country. You have to oppose them.' Peter Collins

When you voted to trigger A50 you knew that the
Govt ref. leaflet sent to every household did not mention the
Good Friday Agreement & how leaving the EU will impact it.
Why did you vote to trigger A50?
Ken Clarke MP didn't.

When you voted to trigger A50
you knew that regulatory alignment would be required for
Northern Ireland, as highlighted by the phase 1 report from 2017,
requiring both the SM & CU.
Does it not make sense to stay in the CU & SM?

When you voted to trigger A50
you knew that it would have customs implications for everything from cars to fresh food.
If there is no deal how long will supermarkets have fresh produce on their shelves?
