@sheryllmurray No doubt why he's just written in support of UK being in EEA https://t.co/vC7DYVWIH5. You campaigned for Leave by claiming UK fishermen would be like Norway's. You're now pushing no deal but that means no Single Market so gutting of Cornish fishing communities - by Cornish MPs!

Delighted to speak at @RTPISouthWest Seminar "Planning for the revolution: infrastructure, energy and waste in a low carbon world". Many lessons from 1990's & 2000's need to be heeded now by Government to avoid wasting more time. #ClimateEmergency #PlanningforaSmartEnergyFuture

Yesterday afternoon the girls were visited by these beauties! Seeing whales in their natural environment really hit home what @sascampaigns are doing to protect our oceans. They've seen plastic every day out there - bottles, bags, nets. Help by donating at https://t.co/xMd7HLysa2

@campbellclaret @PimlicoPlumbers "SW Businesses bracing for Brexit" - "they're angry" - very clear on BBC SW that SW manufacturing & Plymouth/Roscoff freight route for fish/food all at risk: https://t.co/998GCU7Gyy. @plesseysemicon @BrittanyFerries @WBD_UK @NFUtweets

Delighted to have been interviewed by @BBCSpotlight and Inside Out South West with @BrittanyFerries @plesseysemicon @NFUtweets Prof Peter Gripaios & @MPGeorgeEustice about the impacts of #Brexit on South West businesses

[Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP @WBD_UK]

@SarahHolmesBD was on the South West @BBCNews and Inside Out discussing the implications of #Brexit for the region's industry. The bottom line? Businesses are worried about what will happen if the UK leaves the #customsunion and the #singlemarket.

Doing what the Today programme won't: @Sime0nStylites in praise of Brexit's unsung nerd heroes https://t.co/IHJCeOn070

[Sarah Holmes @SarahHolmesBD]

@IanDunt @Sime0nStylites The Port of Rotterdam is very worried that 82% of Dutch SMEs currently trading with the UK don't understand the impact of the UK becoming a 3rd country. It predicts delays of 20mins - 24 hrs, 928+ customs officials for no deal (720 if FTA) & 140 vets: https://t.co/QhoiTHBcHV

[Sarah Holmes @SarahHolmesBD]

@davidallengreen Thus Rotterdam prepares: https://t.co/ag1qogzoSl. "no deal" Brexit = 928 new
customs officials and c140+ vet/fish and food standards officers at Rotterdam. With a free trade agreement non-tariff measures wd req 750 more customs officials. Where are UK plans for jam?

[Sarah Holmes @SarahHolmesBD]

@Femi_Sorry Great to speak with you after #PlymBrexit and thanks for your input. I thought you'd be interested in the video and linked powerpoints from yesterday's https://t.co/ag1qogzoSl

[Sarah Holmes @SarahHolmesBD]

@NFUsouthwest @plymouthbus @MattRobertsGMB
@EdWhitelaw @sarahjanesewell @CarolineVoaden @LindseyRIO Many thanks for #PlymBrexit. Not enough time to drill detail then but the video & linked powerpoints from yesterday's https://t.co/WA1VdPnosf provide clarity on EU/UK #Brexit trade

[Sarah Holmes @SarahHolmesBD]

@MollyMEP @LukePollard @SKinnock @ClareMoodyMEP @neil_parish @BenPBradshaw @jonnymorris1973 Many thanks for #PlymBrexit. The video & linked powerpoints from yesterday's https://t.co/WA1VdPnosf must be a wake up call for UK. Rotterdam's #Brexercise is in Nov. What about UK plans?

[Sarah Holmes @SarahHolmesBD]

I appreciated @neil_parish replying - he said the question was a loaded gun. His response was to note that the UK intends to legislate to incorporate existing EU laws into UK law at date of departure & that terms of trade will be a matter for EU/UK agreement. Ouch.

[Sarah Holmes @SarahHolmesBD]

@mwarhurst
At #PlymBrexit Summit on 07.09 I asked @Neil_Parish
what advisers to UK based chemical cos could say to assure them that they cd operate profitably & shd invest in post-Brexit UK, given loss of EChA regime participation o/s SM & erection of barriers o/s CU.

[Sarah Holmes @SarahHolmesBD]

@heywoodbill @jonathan_church Cameron & UK populist media had to ignore the reports, but online commentaries eg https://t.co/zfLTvMGpAT, https://t.co/KxIiKpnK5R and https://t.co/QyaQgLFW9N. So, UK public left poorly educated.

[Sarah Holmes @SarahHolmesBD]

@heywoodbill @jonathan_church Seems you've not read the UK/EU Balance of Competencies Reports - most detailed evaluation of balance of powers between a MS & EU ever - that didn't identify a single competence that the UK would benefit from recovering from EU: https://t.co/iz7lKgal8D

[Sarah Holmes @SarahHolmesBD]

@heywoodbill @jonathan_church But in a WTO dispute a member can lose a case if it seeks to impose non tariff barriers that are not recognised as NTBs by WTO - like animal welfare standards, as this thread shows: https://t.co/PROJAInVDf

[Steve Analyst @EmporersNewC]

@bbcnickrobinson @ProfBrianCox 2. Take for example this interview with Michael Gove, you ask if the UK will accept Chlorinated Chicken, and he says ‘No’.

Massive ask everyone but could make the difference. Please write to your local MPs and encourage them to support the Lords’ amendments to the EU Withdrawal Bill #StopBrexit
