Andrea Leadsom has tweeted out a thread of 11 government "explainer" videos, ostensibly to help business owners navigate a post-Brexit world, but the incentive has spectacularly backfired.

Her tweets essentially layout all the nightmarish scenarios that British companies will have to deal with, from applying for visas and work permits to changing the way they store data and of course new import and export regulations.

While the videos may be useful in principle, the main purpose they seem to serve is to remind people of what an absolute disaster of a situation Brexit is going to cause for business owners.
