revelations in the Cameron book:

- the £350m line was dodgy
- Gove can be a bit tricksy
- Johnson wasn’t *that* Eurosceptic
- Cameron doesn’t like Priti Patel
- it all went pear-shaped in 2016
- bears do their business in the woods
- Pope has Catholic tendencies
still holding out for pig head clarity though
“Revenge Of The Gammon”, an autobiography

Operation Yellowhammer paper claimed “low risk of significant sustained queues at ports outside of Kent” under No Deal:

But I’ve been leaked DFT documents that show this is only because thousands of vehicles would be turned away for being “non-compliant”

ft.com/content/0a37d1…
in other words....countless numbers of companies unable to export their products to Europe because they haven’t got the right permits and documentation.....
Craig Beaumont of the @fsb:

“We cannot see small companies in difficulty at the border pushed to the side, sent away or instructed to dump their products....an ‘I’m alright, Jack’ approach where large corporates get to barge past and queue-jump sounds distinctly un-British."

Cameron's book out imminently. Here is a quote, he "said his Conservative colleagues Mr Johnson, Mr Gove, Penny Mordaunt and Priti Patel had "left the truth at home" on the referendum campaign trail, especially when it came to immigration.".... should be an interesting read.
..."Michael was a very strong Eurosceptic, but someone whom I'd known as this liberal, compassionate, rational Conservative ended up making arguments about Turkey [joining the EU] and [the UK] being swamped and what have you."
Mr Cameron called it "ridiculous" and "just not true" when Ms Mordaunt made a similar argument about Turkey, followed by claims by the now-Home Secretary Ms Patel that "wealthy people didn't understand the problems of immigration".

1/Listening to the C4 Con leadership debate.

All “delivering Brexit”

#Gove. Opened his mouth and lost the first Q
#Stewart. Cleverer response “listened to Corbyn yadda”
#Raab. Kept his voice lower but Blah.
#Javid Same but at least talking about addressing issues.
#Hunt. Same
2/. Politics of fear re Corbyn.

Really pretty wet.

Hope it improves.
3/. #Raab didn’t deliver because resigned as a matter of principle.

This is reallyrather tragic.

At least #Stewart is saying they cannot reopen the WA and challenging #Raab on the HOW?

Especially HOW in No deal.

#Raab really is remarkably dim.

The Gift of Fear, by Gavin de Becker
"Predatory animals devour prey in order to convert flesh into fuel. Most human predators, however, seek power, not food. To destroy or damage something is to take its power. To push a pie into the face of the world's richest man is to take his power, if only for a moment."
Chapter 1 opens with a play-by-play of Kelly's interaction with a stranger. She's heading home with her hands full, when a bag gives way, and a young man appears, offering his help. He talks too much, insists on following her up, and into her home. He rapes and almost kills her.

(1) I love studying the body language of politicians & celebs because it can reveal a lot about them personally, but also the bigger picture that affects us all.

CIA nominee Gina Haspel is the subject of this thread. #ConfirmHaspel #ConfirmThemAll #MAGA
(2) I am a big supporter of Gina Haspel for CIA Director. She's extremely well qualified for the role and her statements so far in confirmation hearings have been excellent. The left are being their usual deranged selves and should be ignored as much as possible.
(3) I watched this analysis of Haspel by Mandy O'Brien, a very skilled body language expert who I happen to disagree with politically. I look beyond that and try to learn from her technical expertise. bombardsbodylanguage.com/2018/05/11/bod…

And now I present: a thread based on my love of #science, #scicomm, and #animals, and the fact that I'm a huge #nerd:
1/?
The other day at the library, I got this book by Ann Tompert for my 2yo (2/?): amazon.com/Just-Little-Bi…
The premise: an elephant and a mouse want to ride a see-saw. #Physics has other ideas, so some other animals come to help. (3/?)
