We're still in the EU & the steel industry has died because we can't have government intervention due to EU's neo-liberal free-market dogma. If anything the tweet was prophetic. Even hardcore remainer Vince Cable admitted that due to the EU we can't intervene. Dumbest take ever.

Brexit will be the beginning of STEAL industry... as simple as that.

No its aged very well as its true we are still in had we left by now who knows what could of happened

Make. Him. Beheaded.

We haven't left the EU yet, so he's right...? Imagine missing the point that much. This fake news article by the independent has aged very badly.

We have not left the EU. Also the EU is partly to blame for British Steels downfall.

What a stupid statement. Brexit hasn't even happened yet, because that joke of a parliament blocked all the deals that May negotiated with the EU.

Quick question, has brexit happened yet ?
