So John Major is addressing @CER_EU @CER_Grant on the subject of #brexit. Brace for broadside 1/ 
No sign of a deal...just electioneering. /2
Guilty in court. Guilty of peddling “fantasy outcomes” on post #Brexit world. /3
Say @BorisJohnson Wilfully burned bridges with Labour.
Entire UKG strategy about pandering to the right. /4
British Brexiteers promised the earth and misled themselves...appeasing hardliners. /5
EU made some mistakes too...they lose too. /6
EU’s Galileo approach was “petty and shortsighted” /7
But we are headed for most “unsavoury” election of modern times. /8
...likely outcome is another fragmented Parliament – even more bitterly divided than it is now.../9
Government seems intent on whipping up dissent by using highly emotional and evocative language that can only provoke fear and anger, and fuel grievances against Parliament and the Law./10
“I cannot believe any previous Government – in our long history – would have even considered such reckless and divisive behaviour. “ /11
Now the kicker - how @BorisJohnson leave on Oct 31 and respect the law? Fears there is a ruse to use the Privy Council - IF this happens it would be act of “chicanery that no one should ever forgive or forget” /12
I have asked @Brigid_Fowler of Hansard Society on this - she’s sceptical, while saying Sir John knows his stuff. She told me for @Telegraph /12
.@StewartWood also says any such move would go straight back into the courts. /14 ENDS
