Very good thread.
My summary: multiple failures: failure to be honest from the outset about trade-offs; failure to call out and confront ERG “no deal” fantasies; failure to consult or even listen before drawing red lines.
These are both moral and practical failures: failures of democratic leadership but also failures that have directly led to the PM’s (and our) predicament.

Not happy phrasing by @EvanHD.
The interview was disappointing (and as @StevePeers points out there was plenty of good stuff on Twitter with which to knock gaping holes in the 30 “truths”).
I appreciate that time is limited. But trying to get a seasoned operator like Lilley to criticise Gove wasted time.

As said at the front, I helped with the legal aspects of this report.
Like all the choices that the U.K. has in front of it, an EEA/EFTA type arrangement involves trade-offs and political judgment about priorities. Views may fairly differ (and differ profoundly) about those.
Moreover, any way forward is going to be a second- or third- best option for many. It’s no use refusing to look at your second choice option because it’s not your first.

David is being generous about point 26 of the Lilley list of 30 “truths” about “no deal”.
In some areas it’s hard to see how the U.K. could continue to export food more than trivially to the EU on a “no deal”.
See Welsh lamb exports.

Some of you may have noticed that I'm sporting a new tag in my screen name. It's not just a fad though, allow me to explain in this lil ol' #thread:
1/ As you (should) know, january 3rd marks the actual birthday of #Bitcoin, as it was the day that Satoshi mined the first blocks and hence set the Bitcoin story into motion. Upcoming jan 3rd will be the 10th anniversary and this would be an obvious time for celebrations.
2/ @TraceMayer took the initiative of a call-to-arms for all HODLers-of-last-resort, to join him and quite a few other prominent bitcoiners like @giacomozucco, @theonevortex and @CaitlinLong_, just to name some, and also sport the same tag in their screen name.

#Thread on the recent election from Western Kansas #ksleg Representative Adam Smith (adapted to @Twitter from his newsletter here mailchi.mp/b503f6027825/h…)
The election night map showed a significant portion of Kansas blanketed in red and only some of the the highly populated counties showing blue.
A Picture Is Worth 1000 Words

It's not always black and white... or in this case, red & blue.

The first look at the above map from the Secretary of State's website after the initial election results were complete may leave some Kansans feeling like their voice doesn't matter.

SO MUCH ADO ABOUT HSBC

#thread
People have been screaming about the exit of HSBC and UBS as sign of
bad economics. That's a huge lie. I will try to explain it in a very
simple way. HSBC and UBS were never set up for regular banking. When I say regular banking I mean retail banking.
They never ran salary
accounts; they were never set up to afford loans to customers etc.
Their sole purpose was to help customers who can afford their services
an easy way to transfer funds overseas.

This week’s #10ThingstoKnow on Burnout is by Simon McCormick @DrSimonMc an EM Consultant at Rotherham. Simon spends most of his time teaching as he is in his 2nd spell of ‘burnout sabbatical’ but is slowly working his way back to clinical medicine
Simon has incredible blog site, the Broken Toy (brokentoydotblog.wordpress.com) where he writes about his experience with burnout, some thoughts on wellness and what he has been up to in medical education. Here is Simon’s #10ThingstoKnow about Burnout @DrSimonMc

1. What is Burnout?

There is no specific agreed definition so this can make it difficult to diagnose. It isn’t about having the occasional bad day, or even bad week, at work but instead usually involves a sustained negative change physically, emotionally, behaviourally.

Here are my favorite quotes from this amazing book. #THREAD
1. "Bitcoin can be best understood as distributed software that allows for transfer of value using a currency protected from unexpected inflation without relying on trusted third parties"
2. "While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problems it purports to solve - namely, providing a form of money that is under the full command of its owner and likely to hold its value in the long run - are as old as human society itself"
