    Brexit doesn't work as advertised - it's a bust product. So let's take it back to the shop and say no thanks.

    John Redwood on right now being utterly disingenuous. He’s saying UK can just crash-out & talk about ‘how we can spend the money’... This is the “Brexit dividend” will-o-the-wisp trick reheated. Duping public. Deeply irresponsible & this guy’s just been knighted.

    You should know that the world’s poorest ~47 countries already have tariff-free quota-free access to the UK market under the EU’s “Everything But Arms (EBA)” scheme. Look it up. Or just see:

    You can read who I am in my bio. If you’d prefer to believe Redwood over the overwhelming consensus opinions of science & health communities (including more knights & dames than you can shake a stick at), you’re more than welcome to. I only ask that you hear & consider.

    Good clarity by US political commentator on just now... Trump has been a “false friend”. He offered UK a quick trade deal after Brexit -wildly unrealistic- but suckered many UK politicians. As seen by US tariffs episodes, that’s not how it’ll go down.

    Absurd. reporting that Parliament probably won’t get to vote on the deal... ...but rather, the Government will offer an amendment about terms needed to reassure Parliament- then go back to the EU. Games, games... all to push a deal that’s v unpopular with the public.

    Let’s get this right: EU citizens who came here to help build our country And who have contributed love, work & more than their fair share in taxes Got no representation for their taxation Got no vote on their own fate And now have to *pay* To *apply* for the right to stay.

    This is Brexit. A magic money tree for an incompetent government’s hare-brained plans... while our health & public services see continued cuts to critical areas.

    Question for my followers. Which option do you think is more important to deal with the important political issues for the whole of the United Kingdom? RT once you’ve voted.

    Exactly this. JRM says a no-deal Brexit will provide a £1tn boost... and then says if there’s a no-deal Brexit the Irish will be to blame. Slight logical inconsistency... but that’s manipulative disaster capitalism for you.

    This is pretty funny shock entertainment... but would be interesting to do it more scientifically: Plotting the range of knowledge of randomly-stopped people- and identifying what the median result is.

    Thanks for all the lovely messages since yesterday pm... it’s been hard to keep up with them! But Edie’s doing superbly. A thoroughly reasonable little baby who doesn’t fuss, sleeps well, and is easy to calm. Lucky for us - hope it holds! Love to you all... 🤗

    The notion that Cameron & Stronger In campaign also lied... makes the case for a People’s Vote more robust. We all agree 2016 was an unprincipled mess. We’ve witnessed the negotiations since 2016 have been a mess. We’re now in 2019. Time to bring public voice back in.

    Bizarre times. WTO rules are as restrictive as you can possibly get. It’s the opposite of being free. Countries do trade deals to escape WTO. This new fetish for WTO as a saviour is Orwellian.

    For many, Brexit is about recapturing the British Empire. But they are too embarrassed to say it. So “WTO rules” becomes the euphemism, code & vehicle for that empire ambition... ... even though few of them know much about the WTO and what a broken mess it actually is.

    Ireland has announced a €100m euro budget surplus and gains more than 4,500 jobs related to UK's EU exit. The independent EU member state of the British Isles showing Scotland a thing or two... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺

    LED lights making dent in UK energy demand saving the same level of CO2 as closing down Coal Power Stations! Remember the flack EU got for forcing everyone to move to Low Energy lights. What were they thinking?!!
