Pure speculation with no hard evidence . All this false speculation is what is putting jobs at risk, not Brexit. I only go on facts and I have not seen any yet. These remainers will stop at nothing to ruin our democracy.
-
The bottom line is, the sooner this self serving, pessimistic, business Secretary is gone, the better, and once he is gone, he is never coming back, his career is in tatters, just yet another example of another MP that has decided to get on the wrong side of Brexit and the wrong side of history (see, Cameron, Osborne, Hammond, May, Gauke, Cleggy, etc).
Just a couple more weeks to go now before Clark is removed – Tick! Tock!

Another Brown Trousered Remoaner Coward!
-
How much has the EU bunged him to say that, I wonder?. The EU has a long history of bribery.
-
Leaving the world's richest trading block with no arrangements as to how to export to them after leaving is definitely the best way forward. These hard-line brexiteers are clued in
-
"British jobs will be lost" UK Government "We're going to use swedish steel for the LOLZ"
-
Notherners have lost jobs that have been moved to poland with EU subsidies and not just poland.
-
Its the fact that the U.K main exports are vehicles manufactured by non U.K. proprietors, once they leave, the world is their oyster, these companies will seize this opportunity to robotise production , leaving the country with nothing. Some of them are already on their way out!
-
Give up our 'no deal' bargaining tool and we're buggered. The EU will have no reason to renegotiate anything.
-
so no no deal? the only option that is possible after that is an ultimate humiliation for the uk and revoke article 50
-
Scaremongering remoners again, we voted to leave the eu dictatorship 3yrs ago, we didnt vote for any deal, the only party that wants to deliver brexit is the brexit party all the other partys have betrayed us all traitors the lot of them…

The price of delaying again would be massive.

Thanks DUP (House Frey)
-
Business pumped billions into the EU referendum to ensure the people voted leave. They would be doing that if it was going to hurt their business.
-
Yawn…. change the channel
-
The EU should let the UK have their Hard-Brexit, otherwise the EU parliament will be tainted with Brexiteers. No trade deal, just trade under WTO rules.
-
So after this piece of filth, Greg Clark and sky TV plus the Gestapo presenter in their collusion, dishonesty, just trashed the Brexit that everyone voted for and as a side dish killed democracy and had its balls castrated and fried by this smirking arrogant bitchfest… This was 100% collusion between Sky and this piece of filth…………….. Never ever trust any Broadcasting corporation, the BBC get 31 million euros from the EU every year people so how much does sky get and all the rest? DONT trust any newspapers or media…..
-
No deal = no brexit. The brexiteers have dug their own graves
-
Sky news wants the belt from cnn bbc not far behind stick to animal documentaries because lets be honest sky cant be honest.
-

-
More lies just leave.
-
Julian Assange?
-
Only half wits and gormless morons would want to be ruled by another country.
-
the eu is too involved on our country.
Get out now -
Why do Brexit supporters tend to be fat, old, male, uneducated and on a low wage? Oh yeah, because it takes that type of person, with no ability to comprehend complex ideas, to believe in such a bad idea.
-
No country can be wholly independant in the modern world. It's funny because Britain was one of the main champions of the internationalist, rules based global order after the war. We spearheaded NATO, the United Nations, the World Trade Organisation, and became a leading member of the European Union. We pool our power, influence and soverignty with each of these nations to build a safer, more prosperous world.
Leaving the European Union has become a religion. It's not something people support after careful consideration of the facts. It's a mistake, pointless, and will not improve our lives.

The short term economic affects and job losses of a No Deal would be worth it, if it means we become an independent, global trading nation free of the EU’s corrupt grip over our money laws and resources. There I said it. -
