NEW....
Brexit is a horror story, its authors are liars, cheaters and lawbreakers who have flagrantly disrespected the electorate and parliament, but with the winning line in sight are they about to have defeat snatched from the jaws of victory?

NEW - More German people, mystified at Britain's decision to leave the EU, "Can you comprehend why people voted for Brexit?" "Absolutely not, no, not at all, not even a bit" Some even picked up on the sinister censorship from another era...not a good look for a global Britain.

We'd encourage everyone to read this chilling piece on Dominic Cummings by anthropologist @WillBlackWriter- You'll begin to understand how and why Cummings concentrated his campaign's resources on a 7m section of the electorate and why they cheated
medium.com/@willblack_532…
Now here's Cummings dressing up what they did, in the 2016 EU referendum, with psychobabble, masking the fact that they lied and cheated their way to victory and fooling the unwary into swallowing Vote Leave's bullshit - no wonder he wouldn't appear before the @CommonsCMS
Very little of what Cummings says stands up to scrutiny, here's a small selection of him being demolished during his Treasury committee appearance - another reason he refused to appear before the @CommonsCMS hearings.

Lucas is right, “Parliament has made itself a laughing stock" With no effective oversight Parliament is an impotent bystander watching a government attempt to enact the result of an illegally procured referendum that's already caused immeasurable damage.

And everyone knows it.....we're just pretending they don't.
Even our colleagues in the EU......

Thread:
Lately I have become a bit obsessed with Britain’s trade deficit and Balance of Payments with the Rest of The World(ROW). Let me explain why, and what’s it got to do with #Brexit.
For me as a UK-expat in Euroland I have seen the value of my pension drop by 20% since the dreaded referendum.
Let’s home in on what happened around the time of the referendum. Although part of a longer term decline, the sharp drop did not go unnoticed by the commentariat. Sharp drop in Sterling rate highlighted June July 2016Cartoon of pound falling off cliff

1) 6 pointless, time wasting exercises the Tory & Labour parties want to put the country through before we can start work on #Brexit

There are only 2 options left, May’s deal or Remain. There’s no majority for no deal and no time or appetite for a new negotiation
#PeoplesVote
2) There is only 3 months left and the country is in a state of worry. Despite this, and despite the ticking clock the 2 major parties are insisting on self indulgent frippery and posturing before we can get to the real business of fixing #Brexit
3) Lets take the Tory party. Firstly, they’re about to engage in another Leadership contest. May will probably win this but even if she doesn’t it will consume weeks of time for no purpose because it won’t itself change anything in Brexit. The same issues will exist afterwards

*New #Brexit poll*

"In hindsight, do you think Britain was right or wrong to vote to leave the European Union?"

Right 38% (-2)
Wrong 49% (+2)
Don't know 13% (+1)

That is an 11 point lead for "wrong", the largest lead on record

YouGov Dec 5
"Do you think Britain will be economically better or worse off after we leave the European Union, or will it make no difference?"

Better off 24%
Worse off 42%
No difference 19%

Net lead 18 points for "worse off", second highest on record

YouGov Dec 5 #Brexit
Important to recognise underlying polarisation:

90% Remainers say "wrong", 80% Leavers say "right"
70% of Labour voters say "wrong", 68% of Tories say "right"
Upper/middle-class break 56-34 for "wrong", working class 42-40 for "right"

Brexit is the backstop; the backstop is #Brexit.

After 3 days in Belfast, talking to all sides, here's what I've learned - on the business and the politics of this deal. And its viability.

1/Thread
First the business/technical aspects of how a backstop would work.

I talked to business lobby groups, Stephen Kelly from @ManufacturingNI fresh back from talks with Barnier. And bosses of big companies.

The are surprisingly sanguine. /2

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
@ManufacturingNI If the backstop emerges as the British want (and that is still an 'if') it would look as follows:

- all-UK in a temporary customs Union
- Northern Ireland only in Single Market for goods, via devolution
- no checks GB-NI
- 'de-dramatised checks on regs NI-GB

From Liz Webster /Atricle 50 Challenge today:

New #brexit legal challenge launched #UKEUchallenge 😊 which builds on achievements of #A50challenge.

1. The Supreme Court ruled in Miller ministers alone can’t make major constitutional changes.
From Liz Webster /Article 50 Challenge today

2. Our sovereign. Parliament has to make decisions by passing Acts which change the law.

3. @A50Challenge started proceedings in Nov 17 as many FOI requests to identify the decision to leave EU returned different answers.
From Liz Webster /Atricle 50 Challenge today:

4. HMG in defence said a decision wasn’t needed.

5. On 12/6/18 court permission hearing ruled the PM made the decision to leave

1) "Parliament follows" - a #Brexit story
Been engaged in a long thread with @0Calamity and others with the common Corbynite theme:
"But what can Corbyn do? He's not in power"
For a "popular movement" there seems to be a lack of awareness of how they work.
So, what *can* he do?
2) well firstly we need to recognize two fairly obvious things.
a) unfortunately, 80% of our current MPs are, well, sheep. They follow, especially public opinion, they don't lead
b) the prerequisite for stopping Brexit is public opinion. This *must* be shifted or it won't stick
3) this is when Corbynistas chime in & say "look at the polls,enough people haven't shifted, if Corbyn opposed Brexit it would be political suicide"

Putting to one side the "party before country" bias which is obvious to any non Labour supporter, isn't this what Labour is about?
