"Brexit is a pile of w**k" - Lad from Darlo
I'll be in #Sunderland on Friday explaining how that pile would affect young people.
So if you're finishing school, college, or uni... BE THERE:
facebook.com/events/2489703…
So if you know anyone around #Sunderland who has something to say about the government, Brexit, or just where they fit in society. Then get them down to the civic centre tomorrow so we can have a chat.
I'm just setting off in the coach from London to Sunderland. I'll be arriving at about 7.30 am and the @OFOCBrexit team will be there from around 12, with the event at 2. So let us know below if you fancy a chat.
Here in sunny Sunderland. Already had some amazing conversations.
I honestly cannot speak highly enough of @StevenFrance4. Spoke with him for two hours and hearing what he had to say about Sunderland sent me between being very angry and practically welling up.
If the political class has treated your entire region like an after-thought for decades and then you're told that Brexit is a way to bring back industry and make things better... the fault lies with the politicians, not the people.
Seriously, I got emotional hearing @StevenFrance4 talk about this. The entire country should be furious ON BEHALF OF Sunderland.

OK Just started watching #BrexitTheUncivilWar. You guys better not ruin the end result for me!
I can already feel people complaining 'How dare they portray Nigel Farage as a rich boy playing games with the lives of the working class he claims to represent'
#BrexitTheUncivilWar
Is Benedict Cumberbatch putting on a Welsh accent?

Your doctors, nurses, midwives and GPs are all telling you Brexit is bad for your health.
Which do you love more? Brexit or the NHS?
#NHSLongTermPlan
If you love the NHS more, how do we best protect it?
We can protect it as an EU member. Brexit makes it vulnerable to people like Trump.
#NHSLongTermPlan
But they're saying more money is coming to the NHS. Do the numbers add up?

I don't have a party to run / election to win, so maybe it's rich of me to stand on principle; maybe I'm naive, but...
I'm not willing to pretend that a good Brexit deal is possible just because I'm scared people (who I should have won over on Brexit) might think I'm ruining it.
I get why some might choose that due to their own strategic priorities. But if we go down the path of "keep trying Brexit until every last person is convinced it can't work":
a) We risk crashing out.
b) People would blame the EU not Brexit #HowWeGotInThisMess
c) It's dishonest
🔻The Tories want to endanger the Belfast Agreement which the EU won't allow. And even this Brexit will be rejected.
🔻Labour's Brexit must meet the 6 tests. That means Single Market & Customs Union. Parliament would never approve that for the same reasons we're stuck now.

In his blog, Mr Cummings says AIQ "once built some software" for Cambridge Analytica's parent company SCL, in 2014, but suggestions the company shared data with Cambridge Analytica were "ludicrous". bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Leave . EU's co-founder Arron Banks said: "Leave . EU did not receive any data or work from Cambridge Analytica. "UKIP did give Cambridge Analytica some of its data and Cambridge Analytica did some analysis of this.
"But it was not used in the Brexit campaign. Cambridge Analytica tried to make me pay for that work but I refused. It had nothing to do with us."

@phoenix_de @guyverhofstadt Die Bürgerrechte der @The3Million sowie @BritishInEurope finden trotz allem zu wenig Gewichtung! Die EU hat nur dann eine Zukunft, wenn sie sich weniger von Lobbygruppen&mächtigen Wirtschaftsunternehmen leiten lässt&ein Bürgerparlament installiert,das mit entscheidet&konrolliert!

1) Austerity, #Brexit and fake narratives
1 of 2 threads on fake Brexit narratives doing the rounds
Some Labour types have continually tried to tie Brexit to Austerity as an excuse for Labour's Brexit appeasement - "we must respect the causes"
This, frankly, is nonsense
2) If you look at the actual demographics of the vote, the austerity argument doesn't stack up.
There are exceptions of course however it's fairly clear austerity didn't cause Brexit because those who *perceived they were most at risk* voted Remain
3) Car workers in well paid jobs didn't vote Leave "because they had nothing to lose", they voted Leave because they believed (wrongly) they were safe

Council Tenants and those who'd paid off their mortgages voted Leave
Private Renters & Mortgage holders voted Remain

As a remoaner I have long not accepted the result of #brexit however I have been persuaded by a new brexlutionary kind of democratic legitimacy
The leavers never accepted the 67/33 result of the 1975 referendum and campaigned for 40yrs to overturn it. It follows therefore I should shut up and accept #Brexit
Nigel farage said 52 48 would be unfinished business by a long way and had it been a narrow remain vote he'd have been demanding a 2nd ref so obviously It is outrageous that #Brexit are doing exactly what farage would have done

I have changed my mind on #Brexit and now accept it is the best thing that is happening to my country in my life time for the following reasons. Thread
I have come to realise that the EU will be hit worse by UK leaving single market as 8% of eurozone exports go to the UK but 44% of UK exports go to the EU clearly tge eu will be worse hit by a trade war
We will walk out not merely on the single market but every single trade treaty we now have with the entire world by ensuring all our exporters face worse trade terms this will toughen up lazy UK businesses and see unpatriotic ones go to the wall
