One thing brextremist MPs conveniently also haven't mentioned is the opportunity cost of brexit. For example, it's not just the cost of car makers leaving but the cost of others never locating here. Apply that to all industries, expertise & entrepreneurs. Exactly. #FBPE
Then there's the cultural opportunity cost that is equally immeasurable. Do creative people want to live in a society that is anti-creative? Fuck that.
Let's be clear, brexit is a plague brought to our door by a small group of shysters that want to make a beautiful world ugly. They already have, in many places around the world, as they promote the Rise of the extreme Right wherever they can. It is an attack on enlightenment.

I'm gonna be releasing a record. You know me, I don't believe brexit is the will of the people. I don't blame many Leave voters for their vote. Many thought they were helping the NHS. They were lied to. I believe that most people are united in not wanting to hurt the country 1/
I believe the ref was all about a small group of people engineering an ideological takeover, to take control of the country, and concentrate wealth and power in the hands of unelected boardrooms because believe that it's better that way. They care little for democracy 2/
This group used their influence and wealth to essentially con many voters into unwittingly backing their coup. They used fraudulent, covert and illegal methods which the voting public was not aware of. We have seen masses of evidence of that 3/

It's possible that once upon a time people may have believed the government when it said an employer had back tracked on a deal. But that time is long ago. No we know better. We know this government is shameless & remorseless, using other people's sense of honour against them. 1/
Japan is a proud nation, it has a deep culture and if there is any one country where honour is down into the fabric of a people, it is in Japan. It runs through their blood like poison runs through the blood of this government. 2/
And now we find ourselves listening to the claims of a government that has a disdain for honour vs silence from a company who's heritage is infused with honour. Who are you going to believe? 3/

Dear friends, I must draw your attention to a trend here. It is as if all #brexiters have been told to lie blatantly. Raab' claims that being in a weaker position strengthens our bargaining power is pure #altright cognitive dissonance. It is a deliberate confusion tactic 1/
This is one of the hallmarks of the Leave Campaign and other campaigns where the #altright hate machine has been involved. It is using lying as a weapon designed to further obscure the truth and make people give up on trying... silence opposition based on truth /2
It is also a key part of stirring up hate. It is societal antagonism/terrorism. It is designed to enrage and encourage hate, anger and violence. It is designed to, for example, encourage verbal attacks against #leavers to use as proof of hate against them... 3/

So, @Jonathan_Rowson's tweet got me thinking. We face a strange situation: pretty much all of the main players in our politics are detached from important parts of reality. #Brexit 1/
The loudest Remainers seem to want to go back to 2016. They are detached from pre-ref reality: there had been failures of UK democracy for decades. #Brexit 2/
In particular, voices were muted who didn’t like the pace or nature of change, who were being left behind & left out. UK didn’t treat key ‘minorities’ with respect. #Brexit 3/

FW Steinmeier, German Foreign Minister:
"The very moment that the U.K. leaves, we'll have a border again between Ireland and Northern Ireland. That has at least the potential to ignite a conflict that apparently has become totally calm."

I'm dimly aware that only a dozen people will ever read this, but as someone with some inside knowledge of the car industry I think it's very important to explain in some detail why #Brexit MUST have been a factor in the closure of #Honda's Swindon plant
To do this, I'll explain two concepts that will be familiar to those of you in manufacturing, but less so to the rest. They are "Just in time manufacturing" and " lean processing". You'll have heard the former in the news a fair bit I expect
"Just in time" refers to the supply chain. In basic terms it means that you get the parts/materials/etc you need, but crucially you get the amount you need, at the place you need them, at the exact time you need them

One thing leavers were right about is that it's a lot easier to give power away than it is to get back. Having done so without consent we now see that we gave away more than our politicians realised. That's why they're not trusted and that's why compromise is impossible.

#Brexit
2. They tried to fob us off by telling us that no further powers would be given away but every piece of legislation passed by the EU is on some level an erosion of national sovereignty. All of it happening off the radar - adopting laws through statutory instrument.
3. That's why nobody believed Cameron when he said we could opt out of ever closer union. Nobody can make that claim. It's in the DNA of the EU and if you are a member then that is what you are subscribed to. Voters may influence the pace, but not the destination.

I know both sides have their ‘Red Lines’ in #Brexit negotiations,

but ‘no cherry picking’ is a lot clearer than

“I want my cake and I want it delivered ‘Just in Time’ by Unicorns with no hold-ups at the border and it should have zero tariff and we don’t expect to pay a thing”
Barnier: The four freedoms are ‘indivisible’

But but but.... We’re the fifth largest economy and we buy all these cars!

German Car makers: The integrity of the Single Market is more important

But but but .....
Oh well please be flexible and ambitious like we are and make me an offer Cartoon Theresa May hanging for dear life on the exhaust of a bus about to tip in a ravine

THREAD:

1. So who do I mean when I refer to the "Brexit Blob"? There's the usual suspects. Redwood, Rees-Mogg, Paterson and the other nonentity backbenchers, and then there;s the Tufton Street sock puppet think tanks and then the ayatollahs of #Brexit.
2. These will be people like Lawson, Ruth Lea, Hartley Brewer, Brendan O'Neill, John Longwoth, Kate Hoey, Gisela Stuart Low Fact Chloe, John Mills and so on and so forth. The ones who aren't lying are stone stupid.
3. These are the people who colluded to ensure that novbody outside the Westminster bubble got a voice in the campaign. That is why The Leave Alliance has struggled to win any exposure. Partly thanks to Hannan's sabotage early on - aided by the Bruges Group.
