Brexit circulatory. They push for a policy that weakens the country, then demand a leader to tackle the humiliation they themselves inflicted.
And how will they do that? With a policy that humiliates it some more. And what will they demand then? A leader to tackle the humiliation...
It's like watching a starving man eat his own feet.

Yeah I never thought we'd be dumb enough as a country to let this shit go down.
Within a minute of speaking as prime minister, Johnson brands critics of Brexit and the Brexit process as people who "bet against Britain".
And now here comes the unity bit, about uniting the whole country, as if that last part didn't get said.

Nothing that comes out of the mouth of Boris Johnson's clown persona should be strictly treated as true because, after all, it's only acting washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/0…
This was the best I could do to explain Johnson to an American audience.
It's surprisingly difficult actually, I think because, as @fotoole pointed out, there is a sense of specifically British irony that is central to comprehending him. And not in a good way.

Grasping at straws maybe, but at least I won't have to avoid watching PMQs with Theresa May anymore.
Corbyn is doing the everyone-chant-at-once about the poor govt record thing. Dreadful at any point. Worse when hardly any of them will join him.
Fucking hell this is terrible. I can't wait to never watch these two debate each other ever again.

1) #Brexit - reality check, only Remain makes sense for our long term sanity

It's time to state some home truths, this is a mess, and it's only going to get messier. Leaver or Remainer, it's time to step back and recognise there's only one way out - Remain
2) firstly, the reality is there is little love for #Brexit left in the country. Maybe 35% of the country max still actively crave it, the rest are either resigned to it or hate it.

"Just get on with it" is a brief step from "just make it go away"
3) even #BBCqt, that great fortress of Leave support, is changing. Hartley-Brewer's cry of "we've had a people's vote!" would normally guarantee a whoop & a cheer, not any more, it got barely a ripple

Faith in Brexit is draining away

The Tories and their media mates are dodging the question of what happens when May's botched #Brexit deal gets voted out by The Commons.
This Thread is on why the Brexit deal vote is essentially a vote of confidence and why a defeat should mean a General Election.
(1 of 6)
The key concept here is 'confidence'. A government stays in power by having the confidence of the House of Commons. Meaning that it has a majority to pass its business. Losing a vote of confidence means they've 'lost' the House and by convention a General Election is due
(2 of 6)
The #Brexit deal vote is for all intents and purposes a vote of confidence. It is what the Tories have said themselves their government is all about achieving. It's been their excuse for neglect of other areas of policy, like social care. It is a "big set piece" vote.

It's official. Brexit is the greatest act of self harm that a country has ever imposed on itself. I'm reading the House of Commons Breifing Paper now, and what the country is doing is actually crazy. A thread: researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefi…
1. Most economic modelling in this area shows that the potential benefits of leaving the EU with no deal over the longer term do not make up for the higher trade barriers to the EU, given it's importance to the UK"

So why are we doing this again?
2. Trade and Customs.

"This is likely to mean more customs controls, and probably increased costs and delays caused by customs checks of trucks from the EU and could cause a 17 mile queue at the port of Dover"

1/ Yes there is more to it than GDP. Silver lining of #Brexit is it has woken up all of us Brits who are proEU. Before EURef we did not need to be active or engaged. Now we bloody well do because the future of our country is at stake. #FBPE #WATON #REMAIN #StopBrexitSaveBritain
2/ irony of #Brexit is that it has created a massive pro EU grassroots across the U.K. Millions of British people who are just if not more passionate, determined, committed & angry as any #Leaver or #Brexiter. #FBPE #WATON #StopBrexitSaveBritain #remainernow #FinalSay #StopBrexit
3/ Why are #Remainers so committed to stopping #Brexit? More reasons than you could give in a series of tweets. First & foremost we believe it is catastrophic to our country & we therefore have a duty to stop that damage to our country #fbpe #WATON #StopBrexit #REMAIN #FinalSay

1) #Brexit & Futility, thread
If there's one thing that we know, it's that no majority voted for the kind of Brexit we're heading for.

Some of us can breath a sigh of relief, but it's tinged with frustration - there's no point to this #Brexit, but it's the only one possible
2) it will be clear to most of us that the Unicorn #Brexit promised by Leave (no cost Free Trade deal on our terms, no negative impacts) was always impossible & simply a ruse to get votes.

Leavers have to accept that they fell for it to a greater or lesser degree
3) to those who say "no, we knew what we were voting for", well, you may say you were voting for a hard Brexit but based on chats on Twitter most of you were still actually voting for an "on our terms" Brexit
