Those disruptions were Govt-identified risks of a no-deal crash out (esp in Mar ‘19 when Govt were ill-prepared). We now have completed a withdrawal agreement with a no-changes implementation period until end 2020. Facts still matter to many of us.https://twitter.com/danieljhannan/status/1223660421514698761 …

The planes & food disruption was a specific risk of no-deal crash out - which some actively promoted. We have a withdrawal agreement & an implementation period. I’m exhausted from these gladly disingenuous politicians. You are continuously corrosive to our country.https://twitter.com/douglascarswell/status/1223719131851128845 …

Downing Street briefings that the EU is “moving the goalposts” for a free trade agreement and is belatedly demanding that the UK should not be compelled to maintain standards on state aid, competition, workers rights and environment seems either flaky or deliberately designed...

A good journalist would, at this point, ask whether the EU *has* moved the goalposts. Reporting the government's spin uncritically is stenography, not journalism.https://twitter.com/PaulBrandITV/status/1223727734926577673 …

Interesting. “A poll on Irish unity was not an “exotic red line” for Sinn Féin entering coalition government but “an absolute necessity” after Brexit, said the party’s president, Mary Lou McDonald.”https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/irish-unity-poll-is-a-precondition-for-coalition-mary-lou-mcdonald-1.4157665?mode=amp …

“Despite the Conservatives' election success, polls conducted during the campaign suggested - as they had done for the last two years... a small but consistent majority in favour of remaining in the EU.” Two years - so why didn’t BBC mention before now?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-51268688 …

So, should politicians make no entries here, it can clearly be said that any pledges or promises - however earnestly expressed - are non-committal in the most obvious way. And for promises broken on the register, there is not only punishment per se - it becomes legal record.

I have an idea. Any time a politician wishes to make a pledge - it goes into a register alongside a personal punishment if broken (sacking, substantial fine, etc) No agreed register entry? The pledge is not official. The terms of the pledge are written in a contractual way...

...and the Register is overseen by an arms-length body. This way, a pledge has legal & contractual meaning, clear to the public. The severity of the punishment chosen indicates the seriousness of their commitment. This is how politicians could be held genuinely to account.

“The Chancellor has ordered ministers to identify savage cuts to departmental budgets - despite promising before the election that "no department will be cut next year"” This is why people switch off from politics. Pledges & promises are meaningless.https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/sajid-javid-abandons-pledge-end-21389005 …
