#Brexit means that the super-rich get richer and everyone else gets screwed. What did you expect from a policy promoted by hedge funds?

Follow the money.

#Yellowhammer
NB: I originally posted a variant of this saying "the rich get richer...", but I suspect that there are a lot of comfortable middle-class people thinking that they'll do OK.

Wrong.

The only people who will benefit from #NoDealBrexit are traders betting against the UK Pound.
I suspect that there are whole lot of people thinking "well, I don't work in the car industry, so it won't affect me".

Really?

Do you use electricity?
Petrol?
Motorways?

Unbelievable. Thank you. @BBCr4today actually have someone on right now explaining Relative Risk vs Absolute risk. So they actually do have someone in the building who understands statistics!
This guy.

I have found that Relative Risk is one of the most confusing concepts for non-scientific folk. Plenty of really smart people just don’t understand it. We need this kind of commentary with ALL mainstream media reporting of scientific results.

Name your top 5 absolutely flawless movies. Can't have a "meh" bit that you tolerate, I'm talking totally flawless.

Mine:
The Night of the Hunter (1955)
The Godfather (1972)
Forrest Gump (1994)
There Will Be Blood (2007)
Manchester by the Sea (2016)
Some fantastic suggestions. Remember I’m not looking for “good in their day”, or “critically acclaimed,” but rather movies that you personally regard every scene as flawless and wouldn’t change a thing.
By that metric, I have to exclude Singin’ In The Rain, a timeless classic that’s dragged down by the cringeworthy “Beautiful Girl” scene.

I read this story, and I thought "Brexit in a nutshell"

The so-called "experts" say that drinking bleach is harmful. I think the people in this country have had enough of experts.
There may be some short-term pain (and vomiting), but we must respect the will of the people who voted to drink bleach (after we told them it would be delicious and healthy).

Thread!! Big thread! Oh, coffee! Don’t go any further without coffee! This is an 80+ tweet thread about tax! People with goldfish-type attention spans, or people with no interest in tax or #Brexit need not even attempt. You have been warned!! There are three facets…
…to the “Brexit was about tax avoidance” conspiracy theories. We have “Brexit was brought in after the EU introduced the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive”, “Brexiteers want to keep details of their tax avoidance schemes secret from the EU” and “Brexit is about protecting…
…the UK’s tax havens. Did you know Mogg’s firm made £103million profit and paid zero tax?! Shocking!” The success of the conspiracy theory lies in the complexity of the truth. “The truth is out there” as they say. Well in this case, it’s in here. For the first time all…

Follow the #money among Dems in the House who have not made a public statement categorically in support of an impeachment inquiry - especially those in states not won by Trump in 2016.

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

3/n

Brexit's already having a massive impact on the UK, even ahead of our official departure from the EU. Here are 250+ fully-sourced examples of Brexit's effects. Jobs going, investment drying up, companies moving assets to the EU, or redomiciling. Project *fact* not project fear.
The Government has spent £4.2 billion pounds on Brexit preparations (£2.2 billion in previous Budgets, plus an additional £2 billion in the most recent Budget.) 1/254
gov.uk/government/new…
EU citizens will be obliged to register to stay in the UK after Brexit (deadline is June 2021). The registration system, which cost the Government £175 million, will have to cope with over 3,500,000 applications, or several thousand a day on average. 2/254
