So Jeremy Hunt has been talking about No Deal #Brexit
Today

No Deal Brexit would be "political suicide"

No Deal would be a "mistake we would regret for generations"
independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
21 August 2018

No-deal Brexit is "one of the biggest threats to European unity [...] Britain would, of course, find a way to prosper [...] and we have faced many greater challenges in our history"

15 December 2018

UK will "flourish and prosper" if it walks away from the EU without a deal

Lots of misconceptions about the Danish election result circulating on Twitter, not least because of confusing party names and letters.

Here's a simple graph of the result, inc. changes from 2015, with party names translated for an international audience.
And - related to that - the Social Democrats did not *win*. They were the largest party, but their vote share declined. A leftist coalition will probably emerge because other leftist (and pro-immigration) parties did well.
Also what happened to the Danish People's Party is complex - some of its support went further right, and some went to more traditional parties, some of whom copied its policies.

There are no simple conclusions to draw here.

I'm wondering about #Brexit and political identity, and how much this can explain the #ep2019 result in the UK, and might inform what Tories and Labour might try to do if there were a UK General Election
What the UK population things about Brexit is well documented in this PDF ukandeu.ac.uk/wp-content/upl… by @UKandEU
The hardening of voter sentiment about the EU question is covered by this polling from YouGov yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…

That the Lib Dems top a poll of Westminter voting intention is not the surprise.

That it has taken so long for this to come to pass is the odd thing.

Brexit has made being pro-EU or anti-EU is the primary cleavage in British politics.

The Lib Dems have understood it. The Brexit Party has understood it.

The Tories and Labour are struggling still.
Whether it is *desirable* that this is so is another question. Corbyn seems downright annoyed that it is ("We want to talk about ending austerity!" you hear him scream).

But this is the basis on which a forthcoming election will be fought.

Keep on with Brexit or stop it.

2) The Introduction to Volume 1 establishes:

a) Russia interfered with our 2016 elections
b) Russia acted in favor of Donald Trump
c) Russia acted to disparage Hillary Clinton
d) Numerous links between Russian entities and the Trump Campaign were discovered.

I've finally read the Mueller report. If you haven't read it yet, at least join me in this this thread. It's long (71 frames) but you won't regret it.

I've read parts of the Mueller report, but I've not read the entire document from start to finish. I'm going to do that now and will comment as I go along. I expect this will take me days to accomplish since I'll have to fit it in with my home & work responsibilities.

#Brexit in a nutshell: theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
I'm confident that the reason we're in this mess is that the men involved in #Brexit are those who grew up on a diet of "Battle", "Warlord" & "Commando" comics, which is how we got our mindless xenophobia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Pi…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warlord_(…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commando_…
Nowadays it would all be #CallOfDuty and so forth, but we'd be playing on servers with PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE OTHER COUNTRIES AND COULD LOOK PAST THE STORYLINE

10 years on from launching climate science denial campaign group @thegwpfcom, Nigel Lawson is stepping down as its Chair. Seems like a good moment to revisit some of his greatest hits... 🗒🔍

desmog.co.uk/2019/01/16/nig…

THREAD
There was that time Ofcom upheld a complaint from none other than Brian Cox after Lawson said "average world temperature has slightly declined". This was a lie ❌

theguardian.com/environment/20…
And that time the BBC was forced to apologise and admit Lawson's disinformation on climate change "should have been challenged" on its flagship Today programme 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️
