If you voted Brexit because the political class has failed to give a crap about the struggle of life in your area for decades...
A man who says he doesn't mind if Brexit makes you poorer is not your friend.
#EuropeanElections2019
If you voted Brexit because you care deeply about the NHS, because you know it's one of the best things about the UK, as it shows we all care about each other enough to give a little so everyone is OK...
A man who wants to scrap the NHS is not your friend.
#EuropeanElections2019
If you voted Brexit because you could see the UK needed fixing...
A man who responds to a nurse who's panicking about the impact of Brexit on the NHS staffing crisis by saying "Brexit was never gonna solve any of our domestic problems" is not your friend.
#EuropeanElections2019
If you voted Brexit because you have real concerns about how the UK is run, but all anyone talks about is the racism linked to Brexit...
A man who used racist propaganda, poisoning the Brexit debate, which distracts from YOUR issues, is not your friend.
#EuropeanElections2019
Nigel Farage set up the Brexit Party to attract DECENT Leave-voters. But he's a racist who doesn't care about fixing the UK in the ways you need.
All voting for him will do, is make a racist who doesn't care about your concerns the face of your Brexit.

About to go on BBC news... In 10ish Minutes
Make that another 20.
And I may be a little sweaty. Arrived early, panicked and started running up and down Westminster... 😅

"LEAVE MEANS LEAVE. If Ireland is a problem, LET THEM HAVE IT."
The irony of people who campaigned to "take our country back" are now happy to literally lose half of it! WOW
@bbcquestiontime #bbcqt
JEESSUS ****** I just played that back. She actually says we should "let Scotland go as well"!!!
**** it, why don't we just turn leave and remain areas into their own individual countries.
Since when is it patriotic to want to tear your own country to shreds!?!?
#BBCqt
Yes, I'm aware we're four countries. In my head we're a country of countries, so I often use the term interchangeably for both. Didn't mean any offence.

If you support having No Deal at all (besides WTO) with our European neighbours, you need to actually say the words "I think the UK will not suffer at all by economically isolating itself in a way that every successful economy on the planet chooses specifically not to do."
"Fine, but we can take the hit".

Can someone who relies on food banks afford to "take the hit"?

Can someone waiting for universal credit so they can feed their kids afford to "take the hit"?

Can someone who needs expensive medication to live afford to "take the hit"?
But don't worry... "We'll rebuild"!

Short #Brexit thread: There's an absurd notion snowballing in hysterical columns and pseudo-reporting about Britain becoming somehow less liberal, less open, more authoritarian and less friendly to immigrants compared to #EU nations because of #Brexit.
But in fact anyone who's ever lived on the continent knows that Britain is and remains a beacon of liberalism, integration and tolerance. Leading pundits/reporters covering #Brexit are actual EU foreigners based in Britain - imagine that ever happening in Germany or France?
I've sat on high-profile #Brexit panels/discussions in London where majority of speakers, yours truly included, spoke English with a thick accent. Imagine that in Germany, Italy? In fact continental colleagues are often mystified about foreigners working in senior UK media jobs

1. There was only ever one coherent reason to remain in the EU and that was to stop it becoming the monster it very obviously wants to become. For a time that was a valid basis for being in the EU, but in many respects it didn't work because it went ahead with fiscal union anyway
2. What the UK proved is that we could, to a point, control the pace, but not the destination, and when the EU goes ahead with something, even without us, being in its gravitational orbit we tend to get sucked along with it. To a point that much won't change even after Brexit.
3. We really dodged the bullet by not joining the Euro which would have been a catastrophe for the UK but now the Euro is established, the functioning of the EU and the running of it is increasingly none of our business. We're not in the fast lane of the EU and we dont need to be

key question for any "will of the people" #Brexit debate
If we had cut through the irresponsible lies of #Brexit leaders & if people had realised what we now know, that all Brexits make us poorer & weaker for at least 10 years

Does anyone *really* think Leave would have won?
Never mind "the public didn't believe project fear", this is reality and yes, for many people they don't care about economic impacts

But not 52% - 52% did not believe we would be poorer & weaker and voted Leave anyway

Leave would never have won & would never win again if the public knew the reality of #Brexit

The only strategy they have is to lie that WTO/crash out/no deal is perfectly acceptable & reasonable & mislead people with "World Trade Deal" bullshit

1. A gaggle of MPs this week have repeated the mantra "my constituents did not vote to be poorer". What they actually mean is they think they have the moral authority to overturn the #Brexit vote. Not so...
2. The then PM made it quite clear that this was a momentous decision and the gravity of the decision was impressed upon all of us. We heard from academics, thik tanks, banks, corporates, universities and politicians all tyelling us we would be poorer. We all got that message.
3. Whether or not voters thought voting to leave would make us poorer is really besides the point. Voters heard the opsing arguments and made their choice accordingly - accepting the risks when they cast their vote.

1. Worst national leadership in my lifetime forcing through the most damaging, misguided & missold policy I can remember. Ideology & vested self interest replace statesmanship, soundbites replace sound judgement & autocracy subverts democracy.
#Brexit harms us irreparably #FBPE
2. A flawed Leave campaign based on lies, deceit, disingenuity & over simplification & a #Remain one fought w/o any positivity from the Govt & no real commitment from Labour, whose leader was virtually AWOL, did no justice to #Brexit complexity & betrayed our democratic process.
3. A mere 37% of voters/26.5% of the Ppl voted leave in a legally Non-Binding test of public opinion which has been corrupted, on the basis of an illegitimate political promise & interpreted as being the irrefutable Will of the Ppl.
The 1st is insufficient to claim the latter!
