For a glimpse of why we were outclassed & out-negotiated by a transparent EU27, Storyville’s Brexit: Behind Closed Doors is a bird’s eye look into how Britain had its “head in the f***ing clouds”. The mortifying incompetence & arrogance of #GlobalBritain. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
Mark Rutte, Dutch PM, privately talks about a meeting he had with PM May. British press reported he would plead for more flexibility which wasn’t true.
“The British press..should not always listen to the spin coming out of Downing St.”
Think how much time we’d have saved.

It feels almost creepy to watch May’s early Brexit speeches. It was all so transparent, so much was predictable - & predicted.
So much of our media (but not all) obsessed/es over the personalities of Brexit, not the predictable & painful complexities of Brexit.

We go into another week of total uncertainty, less than 3 weeks left, Tory MPs plot premierships, Lab leadership still playing games. No one knows where they stand. People’s lives on hold.
I can’t understand the normality, the lack of protest, the alright on the night mentality.

I can’t understand the absolute derogation of public duty by so many in positions of power.
Nor their willingness to let political ideology, on both extremes, wreak havoc with people’s futures, leaving Brits & EU citizens with no idea what their rights will be in 19 days. /2

I cannot understand how so much of the National narrative has been dictated by a handful of extremists, and why every single day, the reality of what lies ahead is not being asked and asked and asked of our so-called leaders. /3
A roundup of what some of our members were up to today.

We had a small group in Ellesmere Port near the Asda. There was a brief moment of excitement as our Emma thought she had spotted some unicorns. Unfortunately she just had the wrong glasses on at first. 😉

It was a tough day on the stall getting better as the day went on. The overwhelming feeling from the passers-by was brexit fatigue. There were fed up of it and they just want it all to stop.
We were told by one worried person that a local pharmaceutical firm is moving some jobs to Berlin thanks to the uncertainty of Brexit. I think we can safely assume this has no connection to a drop in diesel sales in Europe. 🤔
We are being held to ransom by a Prime Minister aggressively determined to have her way at any cost.
We are being failed by the so-called Leader of the Opposition who wants to blink & ignore the cold wind of Brexit reality.
Brave MPs must stand together & call to revoke #Art50.

It was never enough to shrug & say the people willed it.
It is not enough now to shrug & pretend we have to comply with an instruction which was devoid of all detail.
It is a catastrophic error to pretend that we have no choices.
Take back control, Britain. #JustMakeItStop

There is not a single aspect of public life in Britain today that appears improved in any way - substantive or superficial - by the Brexit process.
Shrunken in the eyes of the world, our democracy looking threadbare & our national gaze looking ever inwards, parochial & mean.

That regular reminder of a world watching, aghast not only at Britain’s politicians trashing its stability, economy & prosperity, tossing reputation & common sense aside, but also at the shrugging of shoulders by so many at such grotesque game-playing.
Absurd doesn’t cover this.

Another trait to throw into this unstable Brexit mix is a total lack of empathy or compassion.
This incomprehensible carefree attitude to the rights of Brits in the EU & those who made their lives on our island. The #ImmigrationBill is a disgrace.
This is all such a disgrace.

There are people panicking at the impact on their futures, and their children’s futures, for their rights, for business reasons. And medical reasons. And fear of the unleashing of xenophobia whilst Britain just shrugs.
This is a disgrace.
This is a disgrace.
