The rhetoric of big numbers ('there are 200 milion migrants we need a global response') is producing unplanned side effects. Rightwing parties are using it to mobilize voters against the 'invasion' by foreigners
#CharlesMichel resignation

theguardian.com/world/2018/dec…
There is huge confusion on what the #GlobalCompactForMigration is for and what it can do. It is NOT about the 220 million migrants in the world. This figure includes everyone who has left their country of origin for more than 12 months, is also someone who left Italy 18 years ago
What the #GlobalCompactMigration is really about is an infinitesimally smaller number of people who are moving now and what countries could do (it is not binding) to manage this mobility better.

Sea arrivals in #Spain are increasing.
But the closure of a #migration route doesn't mean that automatically migrants just move to a different one. There is little evidence of a 'route replacement' trend.
#migrationEU
This is an important reminder that 'immigration policies' can affect migration flows but are hardly the only factor at play. The drivers of #migration are multiple and can't be reduce to the political will 'at destination'.
There is an overall and significant decrease in sea arrivals, which should be a warning for everyone still using the word 'migration crisis', but this is not the case, see newint.org/features/web-e… #Salvini #Italy

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/

1. A short story of #Brexit in four acts. Act 1) in 2010 Coalition comes to power and presses on with dramatic #austerity, wrecking the UK's social compact... causing massive economic harm...leading to 2015 General Election
2.... in which Cameron promised an #EUref, while secretly speculating on another hung parliament with #LibDems blocking such a referendum theguardian.com/world/2019/jan… Yet, Act 2) lots of #austerity disgruntled #LibDems & 2010 non-voters, along with some Cons voters switched to..
3. #UKIP in 2015 General Election. #LibDems got wiped out, #Cons gained 27 seats from LibDems (out 28 overall seat gain), while #Labour lost massively to #SNP -- allowing Cameron to go alone, being pushed by #Brexiteers in #Conservative party to go ahead with #EUref.

1) @UKLabour - please think again - your leadership is not what you voted for

thread here following John McDonnell's appalling statement this morning where he said in effect it doesn't matter if Banks carried out illegal activity

@UKLabour 2) I'm not here to beg you to join the LDs or the Greens, but I am here to beg you to do *something*, because I'd argue "fighting from within" Labour isn't working fast enough.

And I admit I am focused on #Brexit, but I also want good, solid, *moral* government afterwards
@UKLabour 3) #Brexit, right now, let's be honest, should be on its a**e
- there's investigations into illegal funding
- the Gov. are a mess
- the leaders are deeply compromised
- 700k marched for a #PeoplesVote
- public opinion is turning

As #Brexit talks go on & become ever more bitter, I’ve been listening to concerns of Brits living in continental EU. Don’t dismiss them & assume they’re happy, retired on the 🏖. Listen to them in this @SkyNews THREAD. Many different worries but all in limbo, stressed, forgotten

What is Brexit like? 🤔

#Brexit is like stamping on your own foot repeatedly while shouting at your Polish neighbour to stop it.
/thread
#Brexit is like telling everyone on the plane to jump out without a parachute, and then landing it in a tax haven.
#Brexit is like driving your car into a pond because you saw a sign that said “Diversion” and you won’t be fooled.

I'm currently at this #Brexit conference in Copenhagen, where the British ambassador and several #DExEU officials will be on panels with representatives of Danish trade and security. It'll be very interesting to see what's said, especially in light of May's recent Munich speech.
And now that I'm not desperately trying to keep up with livetweeting it, I shall turn my mess of self-retweets into a proper thread. #Brexit #BrexitDK
acknowledges #Brexit will have challenges; emphasises no naïveté regarding "land of milk and honey". Refreshing sense of pragmatism; we'll see how #DExEU and DK reps present it.
