Brexit may be the mother of all disasters, but smaller calamities happen too!

When was the last time you backed up your computer? I back up to Backblaze ($5/month).

Join using my link before 6 Jan 2019, and we both get 3 free months of unlimited backup! secure.backblaze.com/r/00dnhb
(NOTE: The 3 free bonus months will be added in stages during your first months as a paid Backblaze subscriber.)
(To go into a bit more detail as to my backup routine:
- 1 backup to second HDD inside the PC
- 1 backup to networked HDD elsewhere in the house
- 1 backup to Backblaze
A bit paranoid? Perhaps - but I have 28 years' worth of data including photos, documents etc. all safeguarded.)

"Operation Figleaf 2: Electric Boogaloo" takes place on the roads of Kent this morning.

The farce, involving 79 lorries, is meant to simulate no deal Brexit congestion of 10,000.

Because a gathering of friends behaves like a stadiumful of people, right?
theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
The punchline? "The challenge facing the government and Kent county council was evident at dawn as an argument broke out between marshals about where the trucks were supposed to go."

*79* trucks, and they still managed to fluff it.

Give. Me. Strength.
Here's how things panned out, blow by blow (in the "being punched by a boxer" sense)...

Today, and all this week, you're going to hear a lot of talk about the Government's incredibly amazing 10-year Long Term Plan for the NHS...

... but not a peep about how Brexit will come along and rip its guts out on 29 March, like a lion taking down a gazelle.

#NHSLongTermPlan
If you're in any doubt as to Brexit's ripping power, take a look at this...
And a lot of the money is going to be snatched back very, very directly...

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."

Before this week's #Brexit shenanigans, I said this:

"With May as Prime Minister there can be no Brexit deal"

I stand by that statement

I see no way that the #EUCO - ongoing as I write this thread - can give May anything that'll appease the Brexit hard liners in her party

🇪🇺 is not going to make the backstop time limited or allow 🇬🇧 to unilaterally withdraw it. So the deal on the table is essentially unchanged
The Tories reaching across the political divide to Labour still looks like a ridiculously long shot as well:

Is the big #brexit climbdown beginning?

Are the Brexiteers about to decide to 'buy into' the idea that Mrs May can fix the Irish border with technology? That unicorns *do* exist?

Mad? Let me explain... 1/Thread
First @tnewtondunn reports Brexiteers like Iain Duncan Smith and co are 'biting' on a No 10 briefing that "special arrangements" could fix the Irish border - ie 'technology'



Then FT's Laura Hughes says 'Gang of Five' are too /2

@tnewtondunn Wow. Amazing....suddenly, after all these months of negotiating it seems like Number 10 has put it's hand down the back of the sofa and found a 'fix' for the border issue that has bedevilled these talks for all this time.

I love this quote particularly... /3

THREAD: Cambridge Analytica appears to have used a Canadian company, AggregateIQ #AIQ, to cheat UK election laws to steal the #Brexit vote‼️ 1/

Vote Leave was the *official* #Brexit campaign, run by Boris Johnson and Michael Gove.🤔

Right before the election, Vote Leave donated a total of £675,315 in 4 donations over 8 days to BeLeave, a political org set up by two 21-something yo’s who worked for Vote Leave.🤨 2/
Quick digression on UK campaign finance law before adding to the story.🤓

The SPENDING limit for Vote Leave (official campaign group) was £7m. Separate campaigns (such as BeLeave) could spend up to £700,000 each, but CANNOT coordinate or “work together”.🤨 3/
