Dear pro-Brexit poster defacers, tearing down your leaders’ own words because they offend you so much is not a good look.
h/t @Helenmagleycove for spotting this and getting the pic
I think that's her in the picture, not @DavidDavisMP
They turned up without a ladder. It’s a 22ft high billboard and they didn’t bring a ladder! As ever, they were acting on instinct and they didn’t have a plan.
“We’ll just rock up in all our 5ft 7in majesty and by simply *believing* in poster removal, we’ll bring it down. The fact is, we hold all the cards.”
“We just don’t hold a ladder.”

We've had a tonne of messages from Brexiters accusing us of spreading fake news, claiming "Jacob never said that!" or "You're lying about Nigel!" So for the benefit of Leavey trolls, here's a helpful video. You gotta watch it with the SOUND ON.
All hail one of our Twitter followers, @mikehinford, who got on and made that off his own back and sent it to us. Bloody brills.
We decided to keep our crowdfunder open cos there’s so much energy for this little project. If you wanna see more @bydonkeys billboards then chuck few quid in >>>> crowdfunder.co.uk/by-donkeys

This thing's been going for 4 weeks now. Below is every billboard we've done so far. Numbers 1-8 were guerrilla operations, the rest you paid for. Vote for your faves with likes and RTs (we ❤️ 1,4 & 24) . We'll print out & frame the winner & send it to the donkey who said it 👊
A10, London:
"Britain faces a simple and inescapable choice - stability and strong Government with me, or chaos with Ed Miliband." - @David_Cameron
2. Clapton:
"There will be no downside to Brexit, only a considerable upside." - @DavidDavisMP

1/ The UK government should be held in contempt of high Treason. Today's establishment is comprised of many powerful entities that are protecting their own vested interests within our "democracy".
This Establishment uses these groups such as the two party system to manage
2/ democracy to their will so nothing can hinder their overall agendas and profit margins.

They Protect their agenda in many ways but this is the basics of it. This is basically what is happening now with May and her absolutely shocking deal for this country but most likely
3/ a wonderful deal for ((them)). #BREXIT #NoDeal

Politicians make the laws, the legislation and all of the other nuts and bolts of politics that restrain/control us but enrich and free themselves. They are told what to implement and what to discard. They are very wealthy

#Brexit thread:

So. Tomorrow the House of Commons will vote on a series of possible amendments to Theresa May's 'Plan B' - or rather the 'plan of action to achieve a Plan B' - which itself officially reads as follows:
The amendment most likely to pass – and therefore the one on which most attention has been paid – is this one from Conservative party chairman Sir Graham Brady. It's effectively an instruction to go back and seek *some unstated other way* to avoid a hard border in Ireland:
Tonight, Theresa May has asked her backbenchers to vote in favour of this amendment. She is basically asking them to tie her hands, so that Brussels will clearly know what it would take to win the Commons' backing for any deal.

#BREXIT craziness update so maybots deal is blown out of the water l. Similarly corbyns vote of no confidence fails and won't be backed by SNP and lib dems
Despite her #BREXIT deal being defeated by biggest margin a government has lost a vote ever maybot seeks concessions on backstop despite being told to bog off by the EU with no realistic hope of a different answer
Corbyn meanwhile refuses to talk #BREXIT without no deal being ruled out despite knowing she can't do this whilst maybot makes no concessions either.

Graham Brady says here: “How to bypass the backstop and come up with a solution? Crucially we don’t need to hammer out those details before tomorrow.” With 29 March fast approaching, when should these details, elusive during 18 months of EU-UK #Brexit negotiations, be hammered? 1
EU and UK negotiatiors spent months thinking round bilaterally acceptable solutions to the backstop. They arrived at current document. Reminder: the UK-wide customs arrangement with the EU featured in the backstop was requested by HMG not Brussels 2
Withdrawal Agreement already says EU open to alternatives to backstop eg using technology if and when viable BUT EU no deal planning documents clearly say in case if no deal #Brexit some physical checks will have to take place. Technology alone doesnt cut the mustard for the EU 3

Morning campers, I’ll be live tweeting from the UK parliamentary hearing into @Facebook, misinformation and fake news today. Here’s what you need to know:
Lawmakers from nine countries are here in London to gripe about why Zuckerberg didn’t show up to speak to them. Expect a lot of that, plus Richard Allan, FB’s VP of “policy solutions,” to do a lot of apologizing
Nominally, this hearing is tied to @DamianCollins’ ongoing “fake news” investigation, which has led UK officials traveling to the US for hearings (on taxpayers £). But to be clear, they have no power to actually legislate

1) thread on the "missing anti-brexit surge"
It's fair to say that there is only a small (though significant) movement towards "remain" & against #Brexit, leading some to say that a #PeoplesVote might lead to the same result
But let's look at where we are

prospectmagazine.co.uk//blogs/peter-k…
2) the press is still largely pro #Brexit. The BBC has, in the name of balance, been at best hopeless in holding brexiters to account for previous statements and more importantly, both major parties are still pretending their Brexit will be OK
There's no major voice against it
3) and yet, despite the lack of any major voice exposing the reality of #Brexit, the message is still getting through about what a screw up Brexit really is.

There's consistent polls showing a majority who think Brexit is going badly, and a lack of faith in government handling
