The Atlas/Heritage bonfire is set - 'A six-day trip to the US by former Brexit secretary David Davis was partly funded by an American lobbying organisation that is alleged to favour weakening European Union regulations on environmental and food standards.'
theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
And here they are on that very trip, Davis, Paterson and the IEA's Singham, all lifting their skirts for US business to the detriment of the UK as a whole...welcome to Brexit as its greed and reality hit you in the face, welcome to the race to the bottom.
And of course Heritage are part of the Atlas Network, an organisation set up by the founder of the IEA, Antony Fisher, to replicate the values of the IEA around the world - here's UK patriot Daniel Hannan giving a speech at their annual dinner in the US, listen very carefully.
Liz Truss met with Cato Institute, American Enterprise Institute, American Legislative Exchange Council, Americans for Tax Reform, and Heritage Foundation, she has strong links with IEA, TPA & ASI – ALL THESE ORGANISATIONS ARE MEMBERS OF THE ATLAS NETWORK.

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......

Get your brain into gear this morning with this long read from @ChloeFarand and myself for @DeSmogUK on how US libertarians and fossil fuel interests are infiltrating the UK's #Brexit debate and pushing for environmental deregulation desmog.co.uk/2018/11/18/mat…

Here's a tldr THREAD
The story centres around a power couple in Brexit politics, Matthew and Sarah Elliott. Matthew was chief of Vote Leave and still has fingers in lots of Brexit pies. Sarah is chair of Republicans overseas, and used to work for fossil fuel magnates the Koch brothers.
In the US, the couple have strong ties to the #Kochtopus network and libertarian Trump-funder Robert Mercer. In the UK, they have strong ties to the remnants of the Leave campaign, and a network of groups lobbying for mass deregulation post-Brexit based out of #TuftonStreet

Tonight I'm @UKIP's "Brexit SOS" event in Chelmsford. It's standing room only as the crowd waits for a talk from former @Conservatives MP for Peterborough Stewart Jackson
.@oflynnmep who's hosting the event delivers his assessment of #Essex @Conservatives MPs on Brexit. He praises @JWhittingdale, @JamesDuddridge who he says "put his head above the parapet last week" & @patel4witham who he describes as "passionate about delivering Brexit".
But @oflynnmep is scathing about @Conservatives Party Deputy Leader @JamesCleverly: "I wasn't happy with what he had to say at Tory Party Conference" and Castle Point MP @RebeccaHarrisMP "I thought she was pro Brexit but we haven't heard a peep from her".

Short thread on Brexit:

1) These remarks by ex-UK Brexit Secretary David Davis reveal some core intellectual flaws at the heart of some Brexiteer thinking. Not only related to the Irish border, but also in HMG’s general approach to negotiating with the EU over the last two years
2) For example, the problem with the Irish border issue was not that it was "over-emphasised", as David Davis puts it. It was more that HMG didn’t take the issue seriously for much too long.
3) Protecting the Good Friday Agreement had been one of three EU withdrawal priorities from April 2017. And there were constant efforts by Brussels and Dublin after that, including holding up “sufficient progress” at a summit in October 2017, to get HMG to focus on the issue.

This evening in Germany, David Davis has demonstrated a frankly humiliating misunderstanding of even the basics of the EU.

A quick thread.

1/
Firstly, even if somehow Angela Merkel were scared that the German economy could be crippled by, er, not being able to export freely to a smaller country like the UK, she cannot intervene to offer the UK a special deal. No one can.

2/
Let us repeat: the EU is the Single Market and the Single Market is the EU.

Let us also repeat: the Single Market is a market of *rules*. This is the fundamental point David Davis has still failed to grasp.
