Having spent years arguing what other politicians had said, I don't think Change Britain liked it when I pointed out what their founder had said.

They blocked me.
They clearly did not like this one at all.
This is Change Britain who have been arguing that everybody knew a vote to leave was a vote to leave the Single Market and the Customs union, but *after* the referendum wrote a questionnaire asking people if they wanted to stay in the Single Market or the Customs Union...

It's Debunk Sunday, and today we're covering William Waldegrave's memoirs.

I'm so confident of this one, I'm going to do it live... 🧵
William claims he refused to campaign for the European Communities while also saying it did not infringe on our sovereignty. Image
The Community involved some sacrifice of sovereignty, it would be less than honest not to say that. In a sense we should give up some of our political sovereignty.

1. Dear @mariannaspring, you don’t know me, but I work on breaking up a particular conspiracy theory, and if you have time, I’d really like to talk to you about a possible story for BBC Verify. 🧵
2. Here in the book ‘The Great Deception’, co-written by conspiracy theorist Christopher Booker, a reference to the 1996 BBC documentary ‘The Poisoned Chalice’ is used as proof that Edward Heath was not giving us the whole story. Image
3. While the programme does not support the claim, it does claim that while plans for Monetary Union were being discussed during the negotiations, they “went far beyond anything in the minds of most MPs”.

This is why I think the CPTPP deal isn't a great deal. I'm not against it, but the cumulation gain is of greater benefit to companies located in the other signatories than to UK industry.

Another example of the government putting bragging rights over British companies.
Cumulation is a good thing, but it is more likely to be a factor among countries that are geographically closer.
And when I think about CPTPP it's very difficult to forget there are low wage economies and high-tech economies and conclude that's quite a good recipe for cumulation.

"This is a win against all those disdainful Europhiles who said that an independent Britain would be too weak and unimportant to run its own trade policy."

Those 'Europhiles' were in equal number to the Brexiteers who said the same thing.
If every one of their strawmen had a vote, we'd have won the referendum by a landslide.
"The UK and China applied for CPTPP membership within six months of each other in 2021. Our accession provides us with a veto on other members joining the agreement"

A kick in the teeth when you remember we could always veto Turkey...

1. A superstate from the start? 🧵 Image
2. The EU originates from the Schuman plan and Schuman did not support a superstate. It would be nice if we could leave it there, but... Image
3. Some Eurosceptic historians argue this is irrelevant because, they claim, Schuman didn’t understand what the Schuman plan was about. Image

They really are trying to kill the Lords off.
I cannot think of another reason behind elevating people like this.
Shamelessly packing the Lords with thinktank people.

More mockery of our democratic system.
