Latest polling shows Caroline Flint, Gloria de Piero and Melanie Onn (Labour supporters of Johnson’s Brexit deal) losing their seats to Tories. How is that working out for you? electoralcalculus.co.uk/cgi-bin/userco…
“If I pretend to think that Brexit is a good idea because I don’t want to antagonise the pro-Brexit loudmouths in my constituency, then maybe I’ll get to hang onto my seat... oh shit”
Reminder: Brexit is in fact a terrible idea in at least 20 ways (thread)

Why are Labour not getting as much shit about Richmond Park as the LibDems are getting about Canterbury?
I agree that appointing a candidate after Tim Walker stood down is a wankish thing to do. But even before he stood down, Labour weren’t getting even a small fraction of the relentless grief for splitting the Remain vote in Richmond Park as the LibDems were getting for Canterbury
Hypothesis: anti-LibDem onslaught being amplified by tribalists (to maintain Labour as incumbent beneficiaries of two-party politics under FPTP) who have identified this as a wedge that will split off voters whose priority is anti-Brexit but who don’t have strong party loyalty

I used to ask Brexiters to specify what the “opportunities” of Brexit are, rather than just affirming that such opportunities exist. Now they’re talking about “unleashing” the UK’s potential, I’d like them to specify how exactly EU membership held that potential back
It’s a completely vacuous phrase, designed to say to people who feel shit about the state of things atm, “Don’t worry about how shit things feel: we’re a *great* country and everything will turn out ok once ‘Boris’ unleashes our potential”
Manipulation, like everything about Brexit

I reckon Claudia Winkleman thinks we should revoke Article 50, and Tess Daly thinks we should just get Brexit done
...although I’m not sure about Claudia. Might be PV
Tess voted Remain (because all her bbc friends did) but now has been convinced that it’s undemocratic to want to Remain because 17.4m

#Tories Election Cock-Up Chaos so far - a continuing series :

01 - #Tories admit and apologise for a doctored, misrepresentative video of Kier Starmer. Tory MPs like @JohnnyMercerUK leave it on their feed and actively continue to spread.

‼️Boris Johnson is Britain's Donald Trump

– Complete with Breitbart's Bannon and Russia Cover-Up

BORIS JOHNSON

Boris Johnson is/was advised by Steve BANNON – Trump’s campaign manager & VP of the notorious, now-shuttered electioneering firm Cambridge Analytica, which he co-founded in 2014 w/ hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, who also backed the Breitbart sites.
bylinetimes.com/2019/06/12/bor…
📌Johnson and Bannon became friends when Johnson was still Foreign Secretary and Bannon was still in the White House in early 2017.

📌They have been in contact ever since and the fruits of this friendship have been evident for some time

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

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

Brexit already doing massive harm to the UK. Over 200 examples of job losses, lost investment, police & army prepping, companies moving assets to the EU or redomiciling. Meanwhile, the Government burns through £billions chasing a nutty no deal Brexit. Real life, not project fear!
