1/ Welcome to spiv day in the independent republic of Brexitlandia
2/ @Jeremy_Hunt warned that Brexit would be a mistake for generations
3/ of course @Jeremy_Hunt misspoke. What he meant to say it would be a mistake for Europe
4/ As has been patiently explained to remoaner types the UK is not leaving Europe so @Jeremy_Hunt is really confirming what he said yesterday - Brexit is a mistake for the UK
5/ The Government found some extra paper in the DEXEU printer so there will now be 84, not 70, notices on how bad Brexit will be
6/ I have had a sneak peek at them and summarise them in tweet 7
7/ 💩
8/ We are going to be ready apparently. Remember there has been on investment in Dover to prepare. Just working out which bit of motorway will be a lorry park
9/ But don’t worry folks because cockends like @OwenPaterson say all will be fine on WTO terms and foreign people won’t meddle with us
10/ If all will be fine if we leave the EU then @OwenPaterson your logic follows that the EU does not constrain us now so we don’t need to leave
11/ It is also weird that you Brexiters bore the hole off everyone about doing free trade deals but now don’t seem to want free trade deals when the EU has recently concluded ones with Canada and Japan and is making progress with Aus and NZ. Why would they do that?
12/ Also and I am no expert but it is pretty fucking obvious that negotiating deals involves compromise. You know confessions or letting foreigners meddle in our affairs
13/ and that is before we even get to other countries already lodging objections at WTO level. 🙄
14/ That is why @LiamFox is getting less specific by the day and now only talks about “investment ties”
15/ The EU is the UK’s largest single trading partner. Liam knows this. He is lying to you in public office.
17/@cpsuk are you bothered at all? Asking for a country
18/ I imagine not because this is global Britain where you can talk bollocks and lie and cheat and it does not appear to be a career impediment.
All those A-level students must be wondering why they bothered

19/ Mind you two faced charlatan @GiselaStuart is shocked at the decline in foreign languages at A-level
20/ Stay with me @GiselaStuart while I talk you through this...
21/ You @GiselaStuart came to the UK in 1974 when the UK was part of the EEC (EU forerunner). You benefitted from freedom of movement
22/ This meant while it was not an unlimited right, you had the chance to build your life here. And you did. All the way to becoming an MP
23/ But weirdly you then chaired Vote Leave (which broke electoral law and some may ask what was YOUR role in that?) to leave the EU
24/ So having moved to a country using rights under EU law you then actively campaigned to take away those rights from citizens of a country that allowed you to use those rights
25/ And that means young people will find it harder to live, study and work abroad - indeed in some EU member states you can study for free even as a UK citizen - not a bad option if UK uni fees going to escalate
But no you want that freedom removed
But no you want that freedom removed
26/ Please ask yourself why would students study languages for certain
countries when you are actively making it harder for them to use those
languages in those countries.
countries when you are actively making it harder for them to use those
languages in those countries.
27/ Please ask yourself @GiselaStuart why you think it is better that people don't get the rights that you specifically made use of. If anything you should be a free movement champion.
Instead you are a thief who ran away from being an MP and having to fix the Brexit mess
