#Breaking: UK govt will screw the trade negotiations while blaming the other party for its own red lines.
Here’s how in detail.
Because if the UK managed to get a good deal it wouldn’t please Brexit puppet masters from the other side of the Atlantic
The ones who have been working on this specific outcome with Cummings et al since at least 2004
(Funny story they happen to be funded by the Cambridge Analytica/AIQ funder -what were the odds)

February 1st
BrexitUK: "Brexit is done! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Reality: "Yes! It is! Time to start negotiating now!"
BrexitUK: "Wait, what?"
(1/n)
BrexitUK: "WTF do you mean you [insert insult of your choice] traitor! We're done with the negotiations"
Reality: "For the withdrawal agreement, yes. UK's out. Now it can start negotiating trade deals. Kind of an important point of Brexit?"
BrexitUK: "Oh, right! New Trade Deals!"
Reality: "Surely you are aware that these trade deals are going to require negotiations? And not just with the EU - There's 295 trade deals to renegotiate. 759 treaties."
BrexitUK (scratching head): "Err... Well... But.. it won't be with the undemocratic EU, so it will be easy!"

French media talking about "Brexit done"
Comment reads "Bye Bye Great Britain"
Well indeed, there's a good chance History books will remember this day as the day the UK said "Bye Bye" to being great... and to being Britain.

On this Brexit day, I give you (here promoted by Vote Leave CEO Matthew Elliott ) Cummings in 2004
Already working on anti-EU / pro US-UK "special relationship" (to rule the world, app.) stance
&by US, he already meant Mercer/Koch bros funded Heritage Foundation.
Note that the "non-MPs in power" (him, Matthew Elliott)...
"Make the country run by unelected bureaucrats!"
Also note the "Have policies defined by business-funded lobby group" -the official stance of the Heritage Foundation.
Finally note the ads were in cinemas back then.
Please understand what "have policies defined by business-funded lobby group" means.
(There's a name for that now: "astroturfing".)
Tobacco companies defining health policies.
Oil&Gas companies defining environmental policies.
Private insurance funds defining welfare policies...

UK flagged oil/chemical tanker STENA IMPERO doing something interesting at the moment. It's port is the opposite way of where it's heading, and it's heading directly for the #Iran|ian island of Qeshm.. 🤔
The track of this ship is incredibly concerning, if it continues on it's track towards Iran, which it's only 9.5 nautical miles from..
Here's an image by Relic in Crustacean Nation - this track is the rather concerning part.

Theresa May's machiavelic plans have to stop.

If she really believes her negotiations are that Strong and Stable, she should stop this embarrassing political circus and openly go for her No-Deal #Brexit plan, instead of sneakily engineering it.

We know that's your plan. 1/10
When she decided to put forward her support to #BradyAmendment, she knew it would be rejected by the EU negotiators.
It was even said yesterday before she decided to support it.
But it is a sneaky way to put forward a No-Deal #Brexit and later putting the blame on the EU. 2/10
The #Backstop was negotiated BY the UK to comply with UK's red lines:
✔ No hard border (#GoodFridayAgreement)
❌ No customs unions
❌ No single market
❌ No freedom of movement
The EU wanted a soft #Brexit. So no Backstop. 3/10

Amid reports that #UK PM @theresa_may hopes to renegotiate the "backstop" provision on the Northern Ireland border, let's recall that she already made clear what she wants in her letter to #EU leaders before disastrously losing the #Brexit Withdrawal Treaty ratification vote. 1/
"This could be mitigated by changes to the backstop itself," she wrote to @eucopresident & @JunckerEU "Proposals for a way in which the UK could choose to exit the backstop unilaterally were it ever to come into force, or for a hard time limit... 2/
on the duration of the usage of the backstop, have been raised and discussed in Parliament. We have also raised them previously in negotiations." So there are her proposals, i.e. the EU should basically just cave on backstop in face of House of Commons defeat. But but but ... 3/

What is most interesting about this piece by Dr Graham Gudgin on @BrexitCentral is how virtually identical it is to every other pro-Brexit piece on the Irish border.

Here's a brief thread noting some of these common features.

1/
brexitcentral.com/dublin-needs-t…
The border as battleground:
"The Irish border thus remains the key battleground in the war of attrition that is the UK-EU Brexit talks."

This has the effect of asserting that if UK moves on red lines here it loses the Brexit war.

Thus raising the stakes & raising tensions.
2/
It blames the change of Taoiseach from Kenny to Varadkar for "hard stance from the Irish govt that has soured UK-Irish relations".
It sees Irish intentions as barely disguised irredentism.
Yet lays all responsibility for progress on Irish govt accepting "practical solutions".
