Wow! The number of people who had to be involved in the chain of events that ended in soldiers shooting at a target of Jeremy Corbyn is probably going to be quite astonishing. How many people were there? Who saw them set it up? Whose poster? Was this a one-off? etc. etc. etc.
But Brexit, so we'll never hear another word of it of course...

Do you trust the Government?
How about the previous one?
The one before that?
Or the one before that?
Did they always behave in your best interests?
If the answer to any of the above is "no" you'll grasp the importance of EU oversight.
Basically the EU act as a sanity check of last resort. EU laws on things like the environment, workers rights, human rights etc provide a baseline below which the Governments of EU countries cannot go. And it is just that. They are perfectly free to implement tougher standards.
So if you say we're better off outside the EU, you're saying that you trust all future UK governments between now and the end of time to look out for your interests. 🤔

At Brexit Questions, Toby Perkins talks about a manufacturer in his constituency that has had to spend £50,000 getting its main product recertified because the UK certification will no longer be recognised under a no deal Brexit.

Presumably this is happening thousands of times!
And that's as close as it gets to wasted money... The companies don't gain anything whatsoever from doing so. They're having to spend very significant amounts to try and preserve the status quo. Same will be happening for patents and trademarks, professional qualifications etc.
But this cost doesn't show up neatly in one place. Instead thousands of firms bear their Brexit bruises in sullen silence. Only a very few extreme cases make it to the media, where the company is too large or the sum too significant to suffer in silence.

It's amazing how many Brexiters hold up the theoretical future collapse of the EU as a reason to crash out of it now. No-deal is like demolishing your home around you because a roof tile looks a bit wobbly. Yes, if the EU were to fail economically, it would be bad for the UK.
But that would be a relatively slow failure, signposted at every turn, giving us the opportunity to react. No-deal is as abrupt as a guillotine blade. Head on the block on 12 April, *snick*, and our economy's rolling in the gutter.
So it seems very odd to crave the *certainty* of a quick economic death in 8 days time over a *possible* long-term decline. There must be something else at work beside rationality. Lust for power? Hatred of Europe? Whatever it is, it's trumping common sense!

This is a thread about Point and Shriek cry bullying- a tactic of the hard left borrowed from Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals
The tactic’s purpose is to intimidate, silence and shut down opponents using mass mob assault whipped up by woke agitators using confected outrage.
The confected outrage part is key because it enables the ugly, bullying, often vicious mob to lay claim to the moral high ground - even while it says and does things far nastier than the alleged justification for its righteous rage.

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

3/n

Video has emerged of soldiers on a shooting range in Kabul firing at a target of Jeremy Corbyn. MOD confirms it as legit:
I’m told it happened in the last few days. Here is the MOD statement:
I’m told there are simulated paint rounds, not bullets. But “this is a terrible look” as one senior defence source just said to me.

This!
As @theresa_may tells @HouseofCommons it's 'highly likely' Moscow ordered the attack on former Russian spy in Salisbury & most MPs show support to HMG to take strong action against Russia together with West & EU...
Remember this from @Nigel_Farage?
theguardian.com/politics/2014/…
What's the common point between:
- Farage: theguardian.com/politics/2014/…
- Le Pen: ft.com/content/010eec…
- Germany's AfD: time.com/4955503/german…
- Holland's Geert Wilders: forbes.com/sites/melikkay…
- Italy's Lega Nord: ft.com/content/0d33d2…
- Hungary's Orban: thedailybeast.com/how-putins-usi…
European far-right parties & their populist leaders love the idea they are the real & only patriots. Usually great orators, they focus on negative emotions: fear, resentment, nostalgia of a time that never was. But ask them about their relationship with Russia and they go silent!

In the Finsbury Park trial the defendant Darren Osborne has taken to the witness box as the first witness for the defence.
Darren Osborne has taken the oath on the bible. He has a slight West Country accent
Darren Osborne says he was not the driver of the van. It was a guy called Dave. He says he met Dave in the Pick and Shovel pub in Treforest

Ok, I’ll try and keep this brief, but lets talk PT Cruiser and the 2007 recession. FYI, I’m not *blaming* the crash on the PT Cruiser, just generally laying out how the story of the PT Cruiser and the people who bought them provides an early window into the lending meltdown...
(if you were in the car biz in the 00’s and want to chime in/check my work, feel free...just maybe turn your location off just in case any of your former customers are out there still pissed about what you did to them)
So rewind to the late 90s: economy was strong for a good chunk of consumers (definitely not everyone), and while lending wasn’t the free-for-all it was to become, it wasn’t terribly hard to get financing (again, a good chunk of people, but definitely not all)...
