It's amazing how straight and honest politicians are willing to be now that there's literally no change of stopping Brexit. Hey ho, you get what you voted for. #NotMyBrexit #BrexitDay
Watch for a LOT more of this in the days and weeks ahead. In a month, the full horror of Brexit will be laid bare. In two, you won't find anything to back up the idea we didn't know all this before we left.

This week is going to be hell.
- First working week after Brexit (I feel for those working in an environment where some colleagues are of the Leave persuasion.)
- Boris Johnson and his gang of wreckers will outline a post-transition position that will destroy manufacturing.
- You can expect the lies to fester and multiply as the Government gets into its stride, blaming the EU for everything we just did to ourselves.
- Much of the media will go into overdrive disseminating
A) The lie that Brexit is "done"
B) Jingoistic xenophobic "patriotic" stories
Meanwhile organisations like the BBC are likely to continue creating false "balance" by giving equal weight to two sides of arguments that should never have been arguments because one side has truth and facts behind it, the other lies and empty bluster.

(See below from my book.)

A lot of talk about how the UK could aim for an Australia-style free trade deal.

Grab a map. Take a look at how many potential trading partners are 30 miles from Australia, as we are from the EU.

Then try again giving yourself a 1,000-mile radius. Still nothing?

Then shut up.
NOTE: we ship over 99% of what we import and export by sea, not by air. So it is genuinely both pointless and irrelevant to talk about air freight times from Australia.

Put plainly, comparing our situation to Australia's is like comparing apples and an etch-a-sketch of oranges.
But of course here's the real kicker, once you've put the globe away: the EU doesn't have a trade deal with Australia.

So what they're *really* saying is "we'd like to negotiate in such a way as to ensure we end up with nothing at all."

What ambition! What drive! What a future!

Can you imagine a newspaper openly crowing it started a war?

Heads up. CBI chief: "2020 is the most important year in a generation.”

For all the trash talk of 'getting #Brexit done' the CBI boss @cbicarolyn has given salutary i/v to @ft.com - it begs some big questions

1/short thread

ft.com/content/7b3ac8…
@cbicarolyn @FT First the interview itself - key point is that relations between politicians and business are at lowest ebb "for decades" - both parties peddling impractical extremes, from "Singapore" to massive renationalisation programmes... /2
@cbicarolyn @FT So question: how likely is that we return to having fact-based conversations about the future?

If @BorisJohnson wins a majority, #Brexit will go over the line and very quickly he will bump up against the reality of a July deadline to decide if they will extend transition. /3

Labour MPs, had a choice on #Brexit

They could have consistently said "yes, Leave won - but the choice before us now is prosperity or sovereignty, a painful or pointless Brexit. What do we choose?"

They didn't, from Corbyn down they pretended there was a magic alternative
Corbyn's Labour was never straight with the electorate. Being sold a pup by Tories should be natural campaign ground for Labour but because of cowardice and/or Corbyn's euroscepticism Labour became part of the #Brexit problem, the big lie

Of course leavers are angry. They've been told for 2 years by both sides that a great #Brexit is acheivable if only we had the right negototiating team in place.

The SNP was honest, so was PV the LDs and now ChangeUK - #Brexit couldn't work

Support for ‘no deal’ Brexit is the pinnacle of Leave's descent into zealotry. The end result of refusing to plan

Like Trump, 'no deal' advocates have flooded the debate with “alternative facts”
It won't end well

THREAD! PLEASE RETWEET!

The increased support for a ‘no deal’ Brexit is the ultimate failure of the Leave movement. It’s the inevitable consequence of the refusal to grasp details, come to terms with complexity & coalesce around a plan. Compromise can be frustrating. So instead they will have a tantrum.
Some Brexiteers advocated sensible solutions. The EFTA/EEA solution gained a lot of traction in the years before the ref. Even Farage had promoted it & countless others. See Farage below from 2011 essentially making the ‘Liberal Leave’ case!

Brexit Irony No.521:
Brexit would make Metropolitan Elitism worse-

The Brexit vote was against our London-centric system. So if there's an economic hit because of a Brexit London voted against, Westminster would make sure the London Banking sector survived but everywhere else...
Many of the problems that pushed people to vote Brexit had nothing to do with the EU. One of those problems was the government choosing to protect the banks who caused the crash with bailouts while ordinary people just got austerity.
The rich took irresponsible risks with the country's future, but they were protected either by moving their money away or by the government and it was those with least who suffered the most.
Sound familiar? #Brexit

#Brexit thoughts this AM. The draft Withdrawal Agreement has a Northern Ireland sub-committee to the Joint Committee and sounds like there's been progress on an arbitration panel for the governance of the treaty = forum to discuss exit from a temporary customs arrangement? (1)
ANOTHER reminder of what @MichelBarnier said about the UK-wide customs idea way back in July. Note the problems he said had to be solved to make it work. europa.eu/rapid/press-re… (2)
And finally, I've now seen FIVE different dates for an extra-special Brexit summit in November. But I've been told that my trip to the German Christmas markets on 1/2 December should be safe! (3
