Many Brexit accounts are sharing the footage of Nick Ferrari laying into Yellow Hammer, saying "ooh Femi's stunned into silence". They only shared the footage of Ferrari speaking.
It says more about them than me, that they see not interrupting someone & being polite as weakness.
As you can in the video above, I replied immediately. And Nick's response was: but we might get a deal. I.e. He immediately abandoned the idea that it's project fear to suggest No-Deal would hurt us.
But here are some people chose not to include that.

Dear @JeremyCorbyn,
Since Johnson took office you've passed more laws than he has. If you call an election you risk GIVING the Tories power.
You also risk repeating the democratic failure of 2017 where the majority vote for anti-no-deal parties but no-deal parties get more seats.
There's a majority against No-Deal in the Parliament now, which leaves only Deal & Stay.
The logical way to decide between them is a referendum.
The Tories are calling you a coward for not calling an election... True cowardice would be to let their taunting manipulate your pride.
You don't want to be the Labour leader who led a majority in Parliament then, due to personal pride and a failure to understand the reality of First-Past-the-Post, handed a majority to the Tories to let them trash the country via an election where the majority vote against them.

Nigel Farage already admitted his #EUArmy scaremongering is deceitful.
He knows that it's entirely our choice because that's how the EU works. WATCH HIM ADMIT THAT.
Put it this way.

With us still IN the EU, the other 27 countries of the EU could choose to form a European Army without us.
OR
We could leave the EU but still sign a defence pact to join an #EUArmy from the outside.

BREXIT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE BECAUSE IT'S BASED ON CONSENT!
If you don't know the #EUArmy scaremongering is just manipulation, that doesn't make you stupid.
Two weeks ago I had to explain it to the Oxford-educated parents of a friend of mine.
But it does mean you need to do better at fact-checking what you hear.

Brexit showed me just how desperately the UK needs to change..
But we can only fix the country if Brexit stops.
I was part of the problem.

I was working on 'traditional' inequalities like race and gender, because it matched my skill set and passion, assuming that UK politicians were sufficiently working on regional inequality.
I was wrong.
Thank you @StevenFrance4.
@StevenFrance4 We can either spend the next 8+years in EU negotiations, having the same arguments trade and sovereignty, while trying to cobble something together with Trump that doesn't snuff out our NHS and farming industry, or we can focus on regional investment and electoral reform.
CHOOSE!

1) we have always been at war with Eurasia
#Brexit is frustrating but key is not only the gaslighting by Brexiters on the SM but the *utter willingness* of Brexit voters to be gaslighted

Dougan was talking here right after the referendum about "access"
2) he was stressing this point about how the term "access to the Single Market" was meaningless, that only membership mattered or had any meaning.
The IFS were saying the same thing.
Why? Because Vote Leave has consistently promised "access to the SM"

3) this was everywhere pre ref. We wouldn't need "membership" because Vote Leave guaranteed we'd have "access" after #Brexit

Fast forward 3 years, now the ERG have whitewashed this & are saying "everyone voted for WTO"

And many hardcore leave voters are saying "yes, yes I did"

A quick thread on #Brexit, why the UK is not going to go back to normal politics after Brexit, why the worst is yet to come, and the folly of policy-driven (libertarian or socialist #Lexit) Brexits.
To many, Brexit is abt “Taking Back Control,” a legitimate perspective in times of increasing interdependence and growth of int'l institutions. However, the undertone is often that control has been relinquished *without good reason.*
Here’s the political science perspective: The flipside of democratic control, #responsiveness, can be policy instability. If majoritarian decisions can always b overturned, some policies r dysfunctional bc actors won't investments (financial or social) necessary to make it work.

So when you look into how twitter identified the 2700 accounts that the russians made you see some glaring flaws.
Thomas Rid is getting it perfect:
We are still only getting a VERY limited picture of what the russians have been doing on twitter since 2013.
Congress has only put out 2700 account names, 90% of those are trash ukrainian and russian livejournal troll accounts.
Twitter gave congress mostly a list of junk accounts to shut them up. This is what almost all of them looked like:

1. New round of #Brexit talks in Brussels today & #Prexit behind us, let's take stock of what EU papers are saying in Ep 100 of 'Nothing Has Changed.' (Thread.)
2. France's @LesEchos says TM is "increasingly fragile." Notes, "Clearly, chances that outstanding Brexit issues are resolved" in this round of talks "are close to nill." lesechos.fr/monde/europe/0…
3. @LesEchos: "The increasingly fragility of TM is a subject that's preoccupying the minds of EU leaders, who prefer to negotiate with a strong leader."
