Some of the things it covers...
- Referendum & aftermath
- Single Market, Customs Union & Irish backstop
- Article 50
- No deal dangers
- What trading on WTO terms means
- £39 billion financial settlement
- Fishing
- Sovereignty
- Public ownership & state aid
- Take back control
- Brexit scepticism & Project Fear
- Crashing pound
- Other countries do fine outside EU
- We were OK before EU
- They need us more than we need them
- Just get on with it
- Could we switch to air freight to trade with the world?
- Organising a second referendum
- What happens if Brexit is cancelled?
- Grand reconciliation in the national interest
- Beyond Brexit: fixing our problems
- Impact of Brexit on the automotive sector

It's a serious book with a serious message, but written in the same breezy style as my tweets. If we can't laugh as the end of the world approaches, it will be too late afterwards. Hope you enjoy it if you decide to take a look!

On the First Day of November, no deal Brexit gave to me...
Trading exclusively on WTO terms, like no other country in history.
On the Second Day of November, no deal Brexit gave to me...
The death of the UK car industry, eviscerated by tariffs and the loss of just-in-time production.
On the Third Day of November, no deal Brexit gave to me...
Food rotting in the fields (too few seasonal workers to pick crops) and at ports.

From the Government's own 155-page no deal preparedness report, here's a case study about a UK business wanting to export frozen beef to France after Brexit. NOTE: doesn't explain current situation (create commercial document, pop beef on lorry, go...)

Here's the massive list of things you have to do now for exporting meat products to the EU... "You need to create a commercial document for animal products that will be eaten by humans." Um, that's it.

Fascinating to see how many polls by YouGov on a wide range of topics and going back several years asked exactly 1,632 adults. YG must be using the same panel (presumably with a few substitutes as people pass away or quit their surveys). Try Googling:

"1,632 adults" YouGov
Here are the 1,632 annointed ones, today, opining on Brexit and trust in politics...

My department has created 11 explainer videos covering topics from travelling to the EU for business after Brexit, to using the new UKCA mark. Watch and share the videos to make sure your business, and your suppliers, are ready for #Brexit 👇
If you often travel to the EU for business you’ll need to check if you need a visa or work permit to continue to travel there after #Brexit. Watch our video to find out what you will need to do. Get more info: bit.ly/2lql9s9 #BusinessGetReady
If you sell goods in the UK, you may need to start using a new UK product marking after #Brexit. Watch our video to find out more about the marking and if you will need to apply it. Get more info: bit.ly/2lzveTv #BusinessGetReady

Thread: There’s an insidious argument that it is automatically “un-conservative” to oppose anything that has been baked into the British political landscape for more than a couple of decades. Hence Brexit is supposedly a sign of the Tories being irresponsibly revolutionary. /1
Now, I’m the last one to disagree with the notion that this government has been (and continues to be) cavalier and irresponsible in flirting with a disruptive No Deal Brexit, which was certainly not the Brexit which I and many others campaigned and voted for. /2
But the lazy idea being bandied around by journalists, commentators and others (@sullydish has a slightly more measured take) is that Brexit is inherently un-conservative. Which sounds pleasing until you actually stop and properly think about it. /3

1/ It's time. I'm dropping docs on SCL, Cambridge Analytica & AggregateIQ + others. This is a big subject & people need to be able to find this information.

Here is how this works:

@profcarroll @carolecadwalla @podehaye @VickerySec @chrisinsilico @kate_hammer @NatashaBertrand
2/ BACKGROUND: These are OSINT docs gathered over years. Anyone can find them if they know how. These are not "hacked" & anyone who claims that is trying to keep you in the dark to promote their own agenda.

@WendySiegelman @annmarlowe
3/ WHY IT'S IMPORTANT: These people, powered by billionaires with anti-democratic agendas, did more than just post a few ads on Facebook. They used weapons grade PsyOps to radicalize people for politics. They employed cutting edge ad tech to do it.

And they are still doing it.

Do you believe in 📈 progress? Here's why you're wrong.

(A thread)
1/ The world is more materially abundant than ever, we’ve eliminated several diseases, lifted millions out of poverty.

Yet, people aren’t reporting higher levels of meaning or happiness than before.
2/ Why is this happening? Rising income or material abundance does not automatically lead to a higher satisfaction.

And not just at a global level, but also at a personal level. Why?

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."
