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...

This is a radio ad the Government has started running as part of its no deal Brexit preparations...

It directs people to a nice website with warm and fuzzy graphics...

And as soon as you go deeper, you're thrown into the opaque preparedness notices.
euexit.campaign.gov.uk
That's like flying a sky banner saying "Roll up. Learn the secrets of the Universe" then handing people a copy of Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time".

Utterly, utterly bonkers. And as much use as a bun at a bear fight.
(If you missed the link to the "helpful" website further up this thread, here it is again...)

A few thoughts on alternatives to Brexit...
- Bring in proportional representation
- Cancel HS2 and spend the tens of £billions on improving *regional* rail and other transport links
- Turn the HOL into an entirely elected second chamber (its oversight function is useful)
- Recognise the merit of a booming economy in London and the SE. Celebrate it and nurture it. Then milk the cash cow and spread that delicious cream across the whole of the UK.
- Foster an entrepreneurial mentality that rewards a "British Dream" (parallels to the American Dream)
- End the culture of secrecy in Government, except in cases of genuine national security. Transparency and accountability at every level. Shine a bright light into the darkest corners.
- Set up a "regional sifting committee" to vet all large infrastructure projects to ensure that

Government is trying to foist the blame for any Brexit chaos in the adult social care sector off on local authorities and directors of adult social care facilities. This from the letter sent to them on 21 December last year... (Full letter at link below.)
gov.uk/government/pub…
More from the letter:
" Many of these issues will have either a direct or indirect impact on councils and it is also possible that they will have a financial consequence for providers."
More from the letter (doubling down on the "legal" bit):
"I encourage you to work closely with your adult social care providers, in line with your legal market shaping duties, to assure yourself that any impact on providers can be managed locally."

#Brexit: Theresa May presenta le alternative dopo che il governo ha dato il suo consenso all'accordo con l'Ue.

1) Il mio accordo
2) Brexit senza accordo
3) Nessuna Brexit

Tutto come previsto.
May: l'intesa del governo è un "passo decisivo che ci permette di andare avanti e finalizzare l'accordo" con l'Ue -> abbiamo rischiato grosso

"E' una decisione che è fermamente nell'interesse nazionale" -> caos no-deal

Ci sono "di fronte giorni difficili" -> Camera dei Comuni

X : Being a quitter, do you ever listen to the concerns of those who wish to remain?
Me : I listen to many opposing views from @acgrayling to @williamheath to @mikebutcher to ... a long list. The views belong to sensible people, often friends and including family.
X : I don't get why you support brexit?
Me : My reasons are around democracy and sovereignty.
X : Why are you against a people vote then?
Me : I was against holding the first referendum. I'm certainly not in favour of a re-run.
X : You know you're on the wrong side of history.
Me : In your view, not mine. That history has yet to be written. I do not know who is right or wrong.
X : I can't agree with you. I'm going to have to unfollow.
Me : That's your choice, not mine. I will still follow you.

1) Thread - It's not the Manifesto stupid, Why John McDonnell wants #Brexit
Interesting interview with JMcD on #Marr this morning. He talked about nationalisation of water companies but used "speculators" as a term quite liberally.
So what? Well, pull up a chair
2) however, let's say we do renationalise water, and gas & electricity. Ok, unlike rail (where the rail network is already nationalised & franchises simply expire & can be taken back) the utility companies are real industries with a market value
3) now, regardless of the wisdom (?) of privatisation, it happened, 30 years ago and we are where we are now. Labour would need to buy back these companies at that market value. That's a lot of money to find, a very long term bet and a lot of cash post #Brexit

1) let's speculate - What if Corbyn had whipped his MPs *against* Article 50 instead of for it 18 months ago?

We know the Tories are making a shambles of #brexit, and we know this was widely predicted

Where would Corbyn & Labour be now?

#peoplesmarch

uk.reuters.com/article/uk-bri…
2) this whipping against A50 from Corbyn could have been pitched as "we support the result, but we cannot agree to risking jobs & prosperity. As soon as an outline plan is revealed (even in secret) we will support Article 50 trigger, but not before"
3) this has the benefit of being a very simple, clear, defensible position.

Labour could even have said "show us the plan behind closed doors to avoid 'revealing our hand'"

Now, that isn't to say it wouldn't be spun as #Brexit blocking, of course it would

1. They say the leave side lied in the #Brexit referendum. As it happens, everybody did. That's what politics is. Lying. It's a fight between you, me and the swamp. It's always a battle for the disengaged middle. This is why Jacob Rees-Mogg lies so brazenly.
2. The man is no idiot. The man knows his lies are transparent to anyone with half a clue. But he knows his target audience doesn't have any clue at all. The image he projects has an air of authority. It's about getting people to believe in him.
3. He certainly doesn't give a flying fuck about the people he is using. The disengaged middle are just a political resource to be used for as long as is convenient. No lie is too big so long has he gets his version of Brexit.
