No. Still not a single policy in sight thebrexitparty.org At least I could find its site though, unlike Change UK
Its only policy, well known, is to leave EU on WTO terms, which is (a) not possible because parliament won't allow it (b) awkward because we'd want to talk to EU about trade anyway & so would have to negotiate the same stuff as in govt's Brexit deal
Change UK has some broad-brush values, but no actual policies: doesn't even say referendum on website theindependent.group/who-we-are/

Interesting chart from @YouGov via @MattChorley @timesredbox nuk-tnl-deck-email.s3.amazonaws.com/2/daf719b7ee19…
But Con could be added to "Leave", taking it to 46% vs "Remain" 32%, with Labour ("Don't Know") 22%
If we assume Labour splits three quarters in favour of Remain, that would produce Leave 52%, Remain 48% #familiar

“Nigel Farage has been more successful than any politician, other than Margaret Thatcher, of getting his agenda through, and he has done it from outside Parliament”: Ann Widdecombe, Brexit Party candidate, on @GMB
Widdecombe in favour of a hard border in Ireland
You can imagine Juncker, Tusk & Varadkar in that meeting: "How can we force the UK to stay? Let's make up some dribble about the border"

Am I allowed to be outraged by this, or does that make me "antisemitic" ?

- Video of a Palestinian child being assaulted by Israeli police this morning.
By @syedakif17

Isreali goons dressed in uniforms violating basic human rights of Palestinians 24/7.

Constitution of Israel is based on Talmud where Goyims have no rights.

If a Zionist kill anyone, he's not to be punished, he's owns gentiles.

“In 12/18, So African intel officials confirmed to me that Banks, who owns diamond mines, had been the subject of two investigations by the Hawks....” (Hawks being, So African version of FBI).
Further, An American lawyer with knowledge of the Mueller investigation, says BOTH, Nigel Farage and Arron Banks are persons of interest in that inquiry. (First I’m reading of Banks being a POI - anyone have info/link on that? 🤔)

@JamesDelingpole Two issues with your piece.
N°1: you assert, "Britain traded perfectly well for the large chunk of history it has spent outside the EU." This is a spurious argument. The EU didn't exist then. We are going from the best possible trade terms with the EU (SM+CU) to worst (#WTO).
/1.
@JamesDelingpole This will not just impact our trade with EU27 + EEA/EFTA4, but also with those countries with trade with via EU FTAs and those countries we trade with on WTO+++ terms, the '+++' furnished by the EU's 759 facilities that improve on #WTO terms.
/2.
@JamesDelingpole Only 16% of UK's trade is on WTO terms alone.

You're proposing that we dramatically downgrade 100% of our trade to WTO terms alone, at the stroke of a pen. This is insanity. It has taken decades to reach to position we're in today. No wonder Mogg says 50yrs to recover!

@A_Liberty_Rebel @BrexitCentral 1/ There’s a simple solution to the current impasse in Parliament: leave EU on WTO terms in March. We would honour ref result with the Brexit that people voted for in 2016. Side benefits: MPs honour their GE2017 manifestos, Tory and Labour parties don't split apart (or get
@A_Liberty_Rebel @BrexitCentral 2/ annihilated), Brexit legislation passed by Parliament over past 2 1/2 years won't need overturning, certainty for business and–get this–democracy in the UK would not be destroyed. Remainers will be unhappy, but somebody will be unhappy in any event. They need to be reminded
@A_Liberty_Rebel @BrexitCentral 3/ that they lost the ref, and they can campaign for EU re-entry after result is implemented. It's bad that government didn't prepare for WTO exit, thus making it more difficult than necessary, but it's now the only option left. More importantly, it's the only right thing to do.
