Leavers, Brexit is on you, and only on you.

Every lost job, every cancelled investment, every company that leaves, every unfilled position which used to be taken up by EU workers, every farmer forced to cull their flock...

It's on you. All of it. And only on you.

Own it.
31 January is the end of the UK as we know it. And the signature on its death warrant is *your* vote.

Own it.
We told you Brexit will be a disaster. We told you again and again and again, until our voices grew hoarse. Then we told you some more.

Everything that happens after 31 January is your fault.

Own it.
This is the reality of Brexit. This is the reality you welcomed with open arms.

Own it.

You can't vote for your team to win its upcoming FA cup tie. Cause and effect don't work like that.

You can't vote to win the Euromillions draw next week. Cause and effect don't work like that.

You can't vote for Brexit to be a success. Cause and effect don't work like that.
Brexit will be a failure because it is inherently flawed. No amount of votes can change that. All they can do is make Brexit more likely, but they cannot make Brexit a better idea.

It's like if you're faced with a rotten egg.

You can vote to eat the rotten egg, if you insist.

But you can't vote on it not being rotten, nor on it not making you sick.

Today's the last day to get a FREE Kindle copy of my book: Slaying Brexit Unicorns. This promotion ends tonight.

(If you don't own a Kindle, you can read it via Amazon's web reader or the free Kindle app.)

Please help me spread the word! Thanks.

Note: Amazon's layout can be confusing. You need to click the "Buy now" button (I've circled it in the graphic)
Note: the link in the first tweet takes you to the UK store.

If you're not in the UK, you need to visit your local Amazon site and then search for the book title: "Slaying Brexit Unicorns"

Good luck!

Do you use LED lightbulbs? Although they're more expensive, they can save you a tonne of money because of their low running cost and durability.

For example we converted 10 50W halogen spots in the kitchen/dining area to LEDs.

Before LEDs: 500W total

After LEDs: 50W total
Before LEDs: 9p/hour to run.

After LEDs: 0.9p/hour to run.

Over the 3 months of winter, figuring on 8 hours use per day, that's £64.80 in electricity for the old ones. But only £6.48 in electricity for the new ones.
For a whole year, assuming an average of 5 hours use a day, that's £164.25 in electricity for the old halogens vs £16.425 in electricity for the LEDs. In other words, they pay for themselves in less than a year on running costs alone!

But of course it's greener too.

« Not in my wildest dreams would I imagine that a possibility » is how an influential European diplomat responded to Boris Johnson’s assertion that a trade deal with the EU can be completed by December next year /1
Surely the diplomat is being unfair, you say. Listen to Michel Barnier and incoming trade commissioner Phil Hogan. They say a deal can be done quickly. The U.K. currently shares EU rules and regulations. How difficult can it be to strip them away to a basic FTA, you say..BUT /2
If Johnson wins a majority in this election and takes U.K. out of EU in Jan, then Brussels is preparing to offer him a quick FTA but with the utmost levels of EU regulation bells and whistles attached (so-called level playing field provisions) /3

EU leaders PM speaking to today have little expectation of a breakthrough in the cross-party talks with Jeremy Corbyn ahead of emergency #Brexit summit on Wednesday /1
EU leaders think it good idea to be in contact already now. PM doesn't have a good track record of performing 'on the night' at summits. She just spoke to Dutch PM Rutte. They'll talk again Weds morning before summit starts. Translation: No room for any more misunderstandings /2
EU leaders must come to unanimous conclusion on PM's extension request. But countries are divided. So Belgian PM has asked inner core of Most Affected Nations (affected by #Brexit ) eg Germany France, Netherlands to meet just before summit. An attempt to iron out differences /3

EU source describes ‘broad support’ amongst EU members for #Brexit flextension (The term appears to grate with some but this is how Donald Tusk is describing the proposal) BUT /1
A number of countries incl .. you guessed it - France .. demanding clear plan from Theresa May as to what she would use extension time for. They insist granting the UK a new #Brexit delay is not a given BUT /2
Hard to see how EU could say no if UK does what it asks. First and foremost prepare to take part in European Parliamentary elections in May (to avoid legitimacy of newly elected Parliament being called into question if UK still an EU member in July when it starts sitting) /3

EU countries’ position on #Brexit delay being described to me still as a “cacophony” - some for short, others for long, some for strict conditions, others more relaxed BUT /1
EU decision on extension depends a) on what PM asks for b) on EU leaders once in a room together Thurs. Fair to say: all options stil on table and EU leaders want to avoid no deal. There will be no EU “no” to an extension request /2
There are legal and political issues mixed up in EU’s extension decision: /3

EU has almost given up trying to understand what’s going on in UK.
Dutch PM Rutte compares Theresa May to Monty Python knight whose limbs get cut off in a duel but insists the fight was a draw. Elsewhere in EU, mood is darker esp with the prospect of a lengthy #Brexit delay 1
With UK politics mired in confusion, only thing EU can control this week is choreography at EU leaders’ summit, starting Thurs. Donald Tusk, EU Council president is visiting capitals to try to co-ordinate single EU response if/when Theresa May asks for article 50 extension 2
Today Tusk is in Berlin and Paris – the EU superpowers. But when it comes to delaying Brexit, any one of the EU’s 27 leaders has a veto. The decision must be unanimous 3
