A thread of Threads

No Deal fails every brexit test - Money, Laws, Borders, Independence.


Explanation of the No Deal con and who might benefit.


How the long con got this far. Remainers we're not blameless
How Leave handed brexit to the money men


The US Trade deal fudge


Missing Negotiators


When Brexit was actually decided


USiNO the new brexit in name only.
Too little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Darren is a helpful example to show why otherwise good people get suckered into things like the "No Deal" con

Football and Brexit.

So important

So little discussion

A challenge from our followers

How to do Brexit.
So it's supported and implemented and remainers love it.

With #YellowhammerReport tending we thought we'd republish this.

written July 18, based on yellowhammer it's 95% correct.

This is about accountability. If we can do detail on No Deal, how come our leaver politicians dont?

Where is duty to our citizens?

And then it's that thread on hate. And where it leads.

It's not like our grandparents and great grandparents died protecting us from this crap. Laughing at the hate mongers at home , and dying to stop them abroad

But anyway, FWIW, here you go.

The 2nd audience requested thread to cover Brexit from different angles.

For those who said they were concerned about giving remainer tips to Leavers, don't be.

We try to keep leavers with us. But since it's impossible to do brexit in the way it was promised They may switch off
What a challenge! Find a way
1. To make a brexit case
2. To deliver brexit
3. Most, at least a majority of Leavers and Remainers support it.

FWIW we think the final one is impossible, everyone is too dug in now. But it could have been possible once and so we'll build that case
This is the journey we'll take you all on

Section A. The Case to Consider for the UK.

(And a crucial renaming of the project)

Section B. The alternatives for the UK compared to the EU

Section C. The transition plan for the UK to our new model

This thread with it's totally wrong Harry Kane analogy got us thinking.

Brexit, football and the Premier League. We found surprisingly little written, given how many "immigrants" it attracts.

So here's 10 football impacts of Brexit you might not know.

1. Premier League Clubs Hate Brexit.

All 20 of them came out against Brexit in 2016. The reasons were all similar and boiled down not to economics but attitude.

The Premier League is us at our best. Brits working with non Brits to make everyone better.

Brexit takes us back.
2. Transfer Market
There's a concern that the whole transfer process will break for the UK, or become more complicated.
We know that could happen just because of today's complexity of hiring non EU players.

The result is we lose out to clubs In the EU but gain nothing globally.

A short thread today on the old adage that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

We found @BrexitParty_DS due to his rant about traitors.

But actually he's normally quite reasoned. Except for one thing. Darren really doesnt want to learn about the world, so he invents it.
In Darren's fictional world countries can be bought and sold on their worth, like footballers. Don't like one buyer? Another one's waiting.

His vlog below makes this plausible argument using Harry Kane
Only problem? Darren doesn't check the reality

Darren doesn't need long. In no more than 5 minutes online he could educate himself on the reality of tradeblocks. It's a simple concept.

In that one small piece of additional knowledge Darren's Kane analogy crumbles and probably his support of the No Deal con. Let's add reality

About to take a well-deserved holiday. Few final #Brexit thoughts before I do. Perception across EU is that @DavidGHFrost came to Bxl as a spokesperson for @BorisJohnson, not a negotiator. As has been reported, when pushed, no new ideas were tabled as alternatives to backstop
This said, it's clear to EU officials that biggest shift in Govt's approach (besides ramp up of no deal track) is fact it is no longer seeking "frictionless trade." It no longer subscribes to commitments made by @theresa_may in Dec 2017 JR - neither substance, nor "philosophy"
(ie that there needs to be a legally binding operational solution to Irish border in WA). New Govt sees this as a mistake, although many in Whitehall remain of view that TM’s attempt to square Brexit with a soft border was both responsible & a credible attempt

Perché il rischio di No Deal (cioè un'uscita brutale e senza accordo di Londra dall'Ue) è ancora molto alto per il Regno Unito e i motivi per cui la #Brexit potrebbe avere questo incredibile, "distruttivo" epilogo. Provo a spiegarlo nei prossimi tweet.
🇬🇧🇪🇺
1. Per essere chiari, non dico che sia l'ipotesi più probabile al momento. Ma il rischio #NoDeal cresce sempre di più, giorno dopo giorno, e non soltanto perché passa il tempo. Il problema è che potrebbero esserci presto tutte le condizioni per cui possa avverarsi.
#Brexit
2. Chiariamo: dopo l'ultimo consiglio europeo, Londra ha ottenuto un rinvio della vecchia scadenza del 29 marzo, ora diventata il 12 aprile. Entro questa data, il Regno Unito deve assolutamente decidere che cosa fare, per un motivo molto semplice.

1. So they are going to have another anti-#Brexit march - this time under the banner of "put it to the people". My first question is... put what to the people? What is the question you will put to the electorate?
2. If there is to be another vote we need an extension so that it can be properly, fairly and legally arranged. And then you have to tell us what the question is. And this isn't one you just get to make up to suit. It has to be an intelligible question.
3. If it's May's deal versus Remain then that fails the fairness test in that quite a lot of leavers don't want May's deal - and you can't conflate whether we leave with how we leave - so it has to be a straight yes/no question on the deal. And if it's no, what then?

1/ If you don’t follow Brexit every day, here’s some advice. Let go of any illusions that this drama is about trade protocols, residency rights or the status of the Irish border. Brexit is the story of a proud former imperial power undergoing a mid-life crisis
2/ The rest of the world is left listening to Britain’s therapy session as they drone on about their ex-spouse, unable to see, admit or address their own flaws.
3/ The promise of Brexit was that it would make Britain feel big again. “Britain is special,” the Brexiteers assured British voters, who cast their ballots accordingly. But Brexit has proven that for the first time in modern history, Britain is small.

1/ Thread: Here are my 12 thoughts on #Brexit. We are at half-time in Art50 process. Departure UK from EU now exactly 12m away. Right moment to take stock and list a few backward- and forward-looking thoughts. (You can also read the full blog-post here: delorsinstitut.de/en/all-publica…)
#1: When the UK voted leave, many said the EU would be weakened. Today it is clear that the contrary is true: it’s the UK not the EU that has been weakened by Brexit.
#2a Whatever people say, it would have been possible for Britain to change its mind about Brexit. Many political decisions, even after referenda, have been reversed in many countries.
