Parliament voted in 2015 to hold a referendum. No checks, balances or threshold were applied bc it was advisory: merely a temperature test.

An international clique of businessmen and politicians then built mega campaign using dark money, psychops & lies to drown remain.
This on a backdrop of the PM, David Cameron, promising to deliver the result of the referendum, despite the fact it was unlawful for him to do so in the event leave won.

Shocking as this may seem, Cameron's remain credentials aren't above reproach.

Even Cameron's old chum warned us Cameron was not to be trusted - but I guess Boris's word on things is hardly reliable:

However, some other people have broken down the disease that Eurosceptism quite neatly and here you'll see Mr Cameron is not painted as a Remainer:

So is the storyline that Cameron's career was ruined because he was useless and lost the referendum? Let's ask a different Q

What if Cameron and his boyhood chums always had shared ambition to change Britain, really change it?

What if Brexit is a trojan horse to destabilise a liberal minded nation which loves the NHS and the welfare state?

What if the stories about Pig-gate and a nest egg (all be it a small one for a multi-millionaire) exposed in panama papers were invented to galvanise animosity towards Cameron?

Nothing is as it seems in Brexitland. And nothing is a coincidence. Brexit has been in the planning for over two decades.

Thinking the unthinkable: emergence of “a vast zone of destabilisation and insecurity” from Estonia to Turkey if Putin wins sovereignty over Ukraine.

@LianaFix: “Any idea EU or Nato can ensure peace on the continent will be the artefact of a lost age”
thetimes.co.uk/article/2bfa58…
“Cold War analogies will not be helpful in 🌍 with Russianised Ukraine,” bc in the Europe of the Cold War the geopolitical dividing lines were stabilised under 1975 Helsinki Accords.
By contrast Russian control of Ukraine would insert an unpredictable new dynamic into the heart of the continent and make it impossible for Ukraine’s neighbours to feel secure.

Leaked docs reveal Tory donors given access to Boris Johnson’s top team during pandemic as part of secret ‘advisory board’

#JohnsonOut26

thetimes.co.uk/article/295ea6…
At 3pm, Johnson’s longest-standing adviser and confidant Lord Udny-Lister sat down to open the latest virtual meeting of the “advisory board”: a secret group of ultra-wealthy Conservative Party donors.
After their large donations, members of the advisory board had been granted privileged access to the prime minister, ministers and advisers at the top of government.

I stood against Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, big Brexit backer, in GE19 in #cotswolds which voted remain.

I challenged him on what #brexit means for farming, essentially decimation for rural constituencies reliant on agriculture like Cotswolds.

🧵1/6

2. I urged Sir Geoffrey to connect with his brother, Colin, who was chair of Suffolk NFU.

Here is Colin in 2016 predicting exactly what is unfolding for #farming now we have Brexit.

3. And to recap, Geoffrey Clifton-Brown voted against protecting our food standards despite the fact low quality imports coming into the UK impact the livelihoods of farmers in the UK who have to meet the high standards and damage public health.

Politico’s Playbook on #NorthShropshire

“Tories downbeat: The conclusion that the Lib Dems are now favorites is shared by Tory MPs who have visited the seat. One told Playbook they expect to lose.”
Lib Dems sniff an upset as Tories win apathy vote.

thetimes.co.uk/article/0acb04…
The North Shropshire by-election on Thursday is shaping up to be the closest battle in the Tory stronghold in living memory, as weeks of scandal in Westminster show signs of angering the party faithful and eroding support for Boris Johnson.

It was difficult, though, to make direct comparisons, said Prof Sir Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, because of variation in testing rates.

“If you look across western Europe, we have about ten times more tests done each day than some other countries per head of population,” he told MPs.

Hospital admissions and death rates are a more reliable comparison.

One of four charts for consideration.

Immigration fear is no longer a big thing after Britain ran into supply chain difficulties. Image
Two of four: concerns about poverty and inequality continue to run high. Image
Three of four : concerns about the economy increasing steadily but not yet as high as the 2008 financial crash. Image
