Dear
@ITV
@itvnews

Your journalist is broken.

It doesn't understand representative Parliamentary democracy and it thinks Parliament makes "pledges".

Please send for retraining or replace.

@Peston @BorisJohnson @ITV @itvnews 2/
It has difficulty understanding the role of Parliament and the executive and is inciting a coup.

Peston, Parliament can't be "traitors". 🙄
Parliament is sovereign.
How can it have a coup against itself?

Using words like "traitors" is not a good idea.

Robert Peston writes for the Spectator

Cumming's wife is the commissioning agent for the Spectator

Peston's coverage hasn't been balanced since Cummings too over.

He is not being professional

Amazing thread on how Trump 'negotiated' giving Afganistan to the Taliban.

In return for a Taliban agreement to not "hurt the US or its allies again" the US agree to:

Complete US withdrawal
Freed thousands of Taliban prisoners
Dropped sanctions
Provide "economic cooperation"

Here is Trump bragging about his deal with the Taliban
3/
There is a copy of the Trump-Taliban agreement in the thread.

The US withdraw would have been known by the British government for months and the UK Secretary of State for Defence, @BWallaceMP would have been briefed daily.
He knew it was a looming mess.

This is a dreadful Brexit agreement for the Falkland Islands
The Falklands were not included in the Brexit agreement.

60% of revenue comes from the fishery sector, where they now face 6% - 18% tariffs for their main market, the EU.

40% of Falkland Islands GDP is dependent on the EU.

With no Brexit agreement and tariffs causing such a huge issue for revenue, this agreement was "warmly welcomed by Argentinian authorities".

The Argentinians are pleased with the Brexit agreement.

I am reminded of the PPE that other countries use up to what the UK has been using.

We need to send government ministers to prison.

Brexit has happened

The 'transition' period ends at the end of 2020.

If the UK and EU can't agree a trade agreement with the EU due to other things like the #COVID19 pandemic then it will need to agree an extension of 1 or 2 years by 30 June.

2/
A agrement to extend the 'transition' period needs to be made by 30 June and it isn't as 'easy' as extending #Article50 was because each of the EU27 needs to be asked, which isn't a last last-minute thing.

3/
Civil and diplomatic service grandees, including Ivan Rogers, Philip Rycroft and Gus O'Donnell have called for an extension to the transition period to deal with #COVID19

"It is simple common sense"

Brexit was the cover for the far right.
Now that Brexit is 'over the line' the main part starts.

Dismantling the institutions of state:
BBC
Whitehall / civil servants
The Press
CBI
Judiciary
Military top brass
The Westminster lobby

Dominic Cummings is a far right libertarian but also a thug.

He shows contempt for pretty much anyone who disagrees with him, which is similar to Boris Johnson.

Cummings and Johnson are now in power with next to no opposition.
🤷‍♂️

This goes some way to showing why the CBI have been so quiet on how British business will be affected by Brexit.

The government have been at war with the CBI for years and either ignore them, or brief against them.
