Congratulations, Brexiters. You have your Brexit. You own it now. What follows is all on you so no moaning about it.

You won. Get over it!
By “Brexiters”, I don’t mean Leave voters. I mean the elite that fooled them, that fanned racism and xenophobia, lied, cheated and broke the law to win the referendum and make themselves and their pals richer. Brexit is theirs - Johnson, Cummings, Farage etc. They own it.
Brexit day showed again there's so much ignorance and racism among Brexit supporters, even though we're told we're not allowed to say that to shut us up. Our job now is to work out how to combat it especially when Brexit and Tory rule will make ordinary people's lives much worse.

It’s a measure of just how successful the Brexit liars have been that today we lose vital rights, sacrifice countless jobs, hand over sovereignty of part of the UK and become the first nation in history to declare sanctions on itself and people are celebrating.
Happy Brexit day!
As for “Remoaner tears”: when your country’s humilated and shafted by liars so they can make a fortune; when millions who’ve contributed to this country are made 2nd class citizens; when the poor are to be made so much poorer, it would be weird not to feel something & shed a tear
Today is a day to think of those who’ll suffer particularly from Brexit. Please follow and support @the3million EU citizens in Europe, @BritishInEurope and, if you can, give the equivalent of 10 Brexit 50ps to @RefugeeAction. #BrexitDay here:act.refugee-action.org.uk/page/55213/don…

2016:
“EU citizens will have the exact same rights as before”
“Stop scaring EU citizens with Project Fear. Nothing will change!”

2019:
“Deport the fuckers!” theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
EU citizens are our doctors, scientists, teachers, family, friends, colleagues. They’ve picked our fruit, built our IT, looked after our old and sick, contributed to our society for decades and now are being told to piss off just so this country can make itself poorer.
The hostile environment is still in place.
Home Office incompetence is still in place (the settled status app you’re meant to use isn’t even available on iPhone, only android).

While Pete Willsman remains on the NEC I have no confidence that Labour is dealing with antisemitism. Here he is denying antisemitism while literally using an antisemitic trope (that it’s all a conspiracy, in this case orchestrated by the Israeli embassy).
This conspiracy constantly rebadges itself.
In medieval times it was “the Rabbis” who pulled all the strings.
Then Rothschilds and Jewish bankers.
Then Jewish-controlled media.
Then Israel.
It’s an antisemitic trope.
At best Willsman doesn’t get it, at worst he’s an antisemite.
Yes, Israel will be trying to undermine Corbyn. Yes, the guy in The Lobby offered money to fund trips to Israel. But to go from that to Israel being behind EVERYTHING, saying it’s basically a plot when I see Rothschild and other tropes all the time, even Holocaust denial. No.

@LBC @NickFerrariLBC @Nigel_Farage NEWSFLASH: The world has seen us as a joke since 24-Jun-2016. #Brexit, innit?

(Do I really need to provide you with the links to articles from around the world over the past few years detailing what a joke UK is? Surely, being *broadcast journalists*, you've read them already?)
@LBC @NickFerrariLBC @Nigel_Farage AUSTRALIA

It is a bit like watching a loved grandparent in physical and mental decline. You care for them deeply. You appreciate all they have done for you. But each day they become more inwardly focused. Their world contracts. They seem increasingly incoherent.

N. Rowley, ABC
@LBC @NickFerrariLBC @Nigel_Farage AUSTRALIA

To see a country “deliberately throwing away a close, mutually beneficial partnership, wilfully damaging its economy and influence on a point of cultural principle … was a surprise.”

As a remainer I scratch my head as to why #Brexit continues to enjoy significant support despite overwhelming evidence its a really bad idea so thought I'd offer a psychological explanation for its appeal to some of its supporters which simply cannot lie in objective reality
I have no knowledge experience or professional qualifications in psychology whatsoever but as this is #brexit Britain this means I know more than professionals like @RichardBentall so offer my brexpertise on the psychological appeal of Brexit confident in my total ignorance
Being a Brexiter means being part of a huge crowd where not only are you all cheering for the same thing but this crowd permits and even encourages behaviour and attitudes which are normally forbidden and some brexiters at least feel liberated from decency and reason

#BREXIT craziness update so maybots deal is blown out of the water l. Similarly corbyns vote of no confidence fails and won't be backed by SNP and lib dems
Despite her #BREXIT deal being defeated by biggest margin a government has lost a vote ever maybot seeks concessions on backstop despite being told to bog off by the EU with no realistic hope of a different answer
Corbyn meanwhile refuses to talk #BREXIT without no deal being ruled out despite knowing she can't do this whilst maybot makes no concessions either.

1) Thread: "We knew what we were voting for" & #Brexit
This shouldn't really need saying but no, we didn't, we couldn't, because of the dishonest campaign ran by the Vote Leavers
History has been rewritten but the following are some edited highlights
#Lab18 #LabourConference2018
2) Firstly, what did Vote Leave promise?

Well Gove said there'd just be a few "Bumps in the Road" in a pre ref debate

3) Leadsom stated that in her expert opinion as a former city worker that there'd be no impact on the British economy

*Brexit at the Border: Voices from local communities in the Central Border Region of Ireland/Northern Ireland*
An initiative by @QUBelfast & @europe_icban to gather data on the immediate & anticipated effects of #Brexit for those living on the #Border
qub.ac.uk/brexit/Brexitf…
1/10
Here are some of the key findings from the report in slide form.
First an overview of the study itself:
Rich qualitative data (online survey & focus groups) gathered across the Central Border Region. Detailed examples & viewpoints heard from people on both sides of #border.
2/10
Respondents to the survey came from across the 8 local authority areas of the Central Border Region, moreorless equally from both sides of the border. 50/50 male/female. 80% 31-65 yrs.
There were far fewer Leave-voting respondents so they got extra attention in our analysis.

1) Thread - All Brexits are bad and what we voted for
It's often said by brexiters that "it's not all about economics"
However, the *actual* Leave campaign was almost wholly about economic arguments

With the leak of this 2-8% report those arguments are now trashed
2) We seem to have forgotten this however economics played a huge part in the Vote Leave campaign, making up over 2/3rds of the primary arguements. The clear message was we would at the least be no worse off and at best much better off. 4 of the 6 below state this clearly
3) & the fact is voters believed we would be no worse off. People prioritized immigration certainly, but against a backdrop of there being no consequences from Brexit - few are prepared to actually pay for ending FoM
