The question I hear the most from Germans these last 2 weeks: why are the people not protesting? Are they not worried?
I have no answer.
#BrexitDisaster
I start with explaining Patel’s restrictions on protest, but then I think: why did we not protest against that?
Next I suggest that people are worried about COVID, but then I think: we could organise it properly and manage rosk, but doing nothing is worse

#LondonMayoralElection2021: Deadline day for wannabe London mayors | London | ITV News itv.com/news/london/20…
So - #LondonMayor elections are getting closer. If you’re a Londoner, irrespective of tribal allegiances, this is an opportunity to make your point. It’s one of the few elections where each person’s vote can really make the difference. #BrexitSucks #RejoinEU
@LondonLabour I’ll be voting for @SadiqKhan because 👇🏽 You really should make more of the #Brexit #RejoinEU issue - people who always vote @UKLabour will vote for Khan whatever - but, personally, I’d like to see a landslide personal vote for #Khan as a gesture of defiance!

As far as I am concerned, the time to convert Leavers is over. Thread. 1/
2/ Since the referendum we meticulously collated facts, enlisted people who know their stuff - from politicians over scientists, business owners, teachers and healthcare professionals.All walks of life, all nationalities represented in modern Britain
3/ We presented facts, figures, estimates, graphs, cartoons.... you name it. Even songs and breakfasts. We reached out and stayed patient when we were yelled at and called enemies of the people. Some people were assaulted.

I'd rather be on the losing side than the wrong side.
I'd rather be on the side of facts and reason, than impotent feelings of no control and paranoid fantasy.
I'd rather be on the side of cooperation with our neighbors, than competition with a made-up enemy.
I'd rather be on the side of compassion and humanity, than xenophobia and racism.
I'd rather be on the side of unity and solidarity, than nativism, nationalism, and even fucking fascism.
Look at the people who you share your side with, and look at mine.

We may have lost a referendum, but we were not wrong. We are not wrong now, not today, not tomorrow, not in the weeks, months, and years to come. We will not give up and we will be proved right!

Still on track with my predictions from last year.
1/ Gov most successfully managed to stall negotiations while throwing a mirade of conflicting promises around to keep us entertained. At the same time the distractions increase in outlandishness>
2/ Russia, Irish Border chaos (I do not believe for a second they do not have a plan for this), throwing in random arms deals to keep up appearances. All the while: Davis did not visit Brusssels once this year, EU had to suspend negotiations, ..>
3/ All this with 4 months left until summer recess. In September it will ve too late for anything but either hard or no Brexit. We have not heard any substantial suggestions from Gov for a few weeks now, and we have stopped being demanding because...>
