@British_Airways Thanks for taking such an interest, we're sorry doesn't really cut the mustard. Again no interest in understanding further then?

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

Cancelled flight, transferred to different airport for second flight, also cancelled and then absolutely no goodwill gestures. Shocking Service @British_Airways

@sparklecreek @MarieBard @paulcocks96 @Keir_Starmer I'm demanding nothing.

I'm saying that criticising others for a lack of clarity without a clearly defined strategy of your own in such a complex situation is nothing more than opportunism.

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@sparklecreek @MarieBard @paulcocks96 @Keir_Starmer He's also said that Freedom of Movement should end, i.e. not what we have now which seems more than a little incompatible given the EU have said this is non-negotiable.

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@sparklecreek @MarieBard @paulcocks96 @Keir_Starmer I read the articles and I don't see a targeted aim. I see conflicting statements made over the past 6 months. It's a simple question what would the Labour party target outcome from the Brexit negotiations be? Can you answer it or show me an article that does?

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@sparklecreek @MarieBard @paulcocks96 @Keir_Starmer But earlier this year Keir stated Freedom of Movement had to end which rules out staying in the EU

Keeping options open is sensible but they mustn't criticise others for doing the same!

What do Labour consider a good outcome from negotiations to be?

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@sparklecreek @MarieBard @paulcocks96 @Keir_Starmer It is a change in policy, look at this from McDonnell:

Corbyn doesn't want to stay (but as usual is ruling nothing in or out)
https://t.co/1RuSavkn2E

I simply asked what is the Labour policy, all options open is not an aim!

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@sparklecreek @MarieBard @paulcocks96 @Keir_Starmer Right now no-one has contradicted him but the silence is deafening, his leaders aren’t rushing to support him in public or acknowledging this change from the Labour Party so I don’t see it as party policy yet.

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@MarieBard @paulcocks96 @Keir_Starmer Keir did, McDonnell has ruled out staying in the CU & SM as it “goes against the referendum result”, hence my ask for one Labour view

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@Keir_Starmer Probably would help if you could share your party's view (one harmonised view) on the approach Labour would take if you were in power at this point so that this could be taken into account.

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@DuncanBannatyne That's not how consumers would see it, in shops you see one price in the U.K. which would include both taxes, i.e. 50p for a or 55p for b

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@howellITFC @DuncanBannatyne I'm thinking more like VAT2 levied only on products from companies part of corporations with global turnover more than £x

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@howellITFC @DuncanBannatyne Agreed but many of the electorate don't listen so that's unlikely. Trying to understand if there's a better option, think there must be.

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@DuncanBannatyne Great in theory, in practice impossible to fully achieve with international tax havens that local gov's can't tackle

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@DuncanBannatyne Agreed but there has to be some way of letting a tax to be paid by companies based on customer sales location in place of today's corp tax

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@DuncanBannatyne So should vat be increased and corp tax abolished? How else do governments stop profits being shifted abroad?

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@Lord_Sugar is corporation tax fit for purpose or should it be reformed to gross sales based on customer location for large companies?

[AllanB @AllanBenson]

@laura_benson11 let's go, only for Lucas' benefit obviously!!

[Sarah Beeny @sarahbeeny]

I voted to remain in the EU the majority didn't - now - let's buck up, unify and get on with it!....
