David Davis on Radio 4 talking the most rampant bullshit.
And he dares to quote Orwell. He'd have had him imprisoned on sight.
His insistence that "only a fool" gives away a plan in advance and his insistence that we'll definitely leave on October 31st are like a direct echo of the early days of May.
Nothing changing. Just the same shite over and over.

This is reasonable and perceptive and I suspect many people will agree. I don't though. There's a difference between £250 for the NHS and GATT24: time and context.
In a referendum campaign, we're particularly susceptible to this tactic, as £350 claim showed. But here were are ina leader campaign where both candidates say they're open to no-deal.
The real referendum-like crunch point would come in an election on it, or if it was literally about to happen with a PM forcing it through. In other words, it's in the future.

Johnson tactic exactly the same as May. Say anything today to get to tomorrow. Deal with the fact you have made tomorrow harder when it happens.
Talking absolute shite on a deal with the EU, absolute shit on mini-deals., absolute shite on transition and absolute shite on Art24.
You can do that for a while. May managed it for well over a year. But eventually that shite will fall on you.

Corbyn to May in Commons just now: "In her view what would be worse: crashing out with no-deal in October or putting the issue back to the people for a final say?"
Pretty clear movement from Corbyn there. Not just the decision to raise it without being forced, but also use of 'final say', which is favoured wording of anti-Brexit groups (polls better).
Ends speech saying: "Whatever plan the new Tory leader comes up with, after three long years of failure they should have the confidence to go back to the people and let them decide the future of this country."

“You have to leave no-deal on the table. It’s only the threat of no-deal that will bring the EU back to the negotiations”, says David Davis. Here’s a thread explaining why this is utter bunkum and why, in fact, keeping no-deal on the table is hugely counterproductive. 1/9
For no-deal to be an effective threat, one central condition must be met: it must be a CREDIBLE threat. And no-deal simply is not. UK preparations are just not advanced enough. Hell, preparations are not even advanced enough to leave WITH a deal, let alone without. 2/9
The PM knows this, that’s why she’s dropped her “no deal is better than a bad deal” nonsense. MPs know this, that’s why they’ve ruled it out. The Chancellor of the Exchequer knows it, that’s why he wink-wink-nudge-nudges “it’ll never happen” to business. 3/9

David Davis & co have no alternative plan. Everything they promised has turned out to be lies and unicornology. Yet still they press on. Our country has been taken over by a cult. Facts have now surrounded the compound and so the cult is forcing us all into mass national suicide.
They are happy to sacrifice peace in Ireland, the union, our manufacturing industry, countless jobs, our prestige and prosperity. They know more about making cars than people who make cars. They know more about importing and exporting food than people who import and export food.
They said it'd be the easiest deal in history as they drive us to no deal. They said we held all the cards but didn’t tell us those cards were from Happy Families and we’re playing poker. They promise free trade while turning their back on the biggest free trade bloc in the world

Extraordinary performance from John Humphrys, interviewing Keir Starmer after resignation of the Cabinet Minister in charge of Brexit. Spluttering, hectoring, making it about Labour, suggesting the resignation is no big deal as Brexit policy is run from No10 anyway. #r4today
For balance, Nick Robinson should now be interviewing Jeremy Hunt *equally* aggressively about the Davis resignation and govt Brexit policy. But no, he’s respectfully putting a contrary point of view, letting him put his case and not talking over him. #r4today #HumphrysMustGo

Davis:
June: "Nearly 60 sector analyses already done.” List published.
Nov: "Not the case that 58 impact assessments exist"
#BrexitShambles
Well done @Anna_Soubry, @Keir_Starmer & @hilarybennmp for holding @DavidDavisMP to account over the Brexit Impact Assessment #BrexitShambles
How can it be “not the case that 58 Brexit impact studies exist”? Here they’re referenced by Brexit minister Lord Bridges. #BrexitShambles.
