FYI, the paperback of my book "Slaying Brexit Unicorns" is reduced to just £6.96 (not sure how long the reduction will last - Amazon seems to do very much its own thing when it comes to reductions!)
amazon.co.uk/Slaying-Brexit…
Here's a peek at the Table of Contents. Most of it is still relevant - the Brexit myths are as needful of busting as ever, and the "no deal" and WTO info is solid - though the chapters on a second referendum and stopping Brexit have been overtaken by events...
A controversial book like this inevitably attracts its share of drive-by haters and trolls out to trash it, but those who have *actually read it* (the reviews marked "Verified Purchase") seem to have enjoyed it a lot...

Surely there must come a point at which "causing unnecessary panic" becomes a crime? What defence can there be for articles like this one in the Express, about an asteroid that will never come nearer than 5.4 million km from Earth? This is Orson Welles "War of the Worlds" level.
Here's another example, from earlier today.

Quite literally the only instance of "panic" being mentioned is in the headline. Nothing in the article backs up the use of the word.

But of course, the kind of people who allow the Express to dictate their worldview will now panic!
One more example, because nobody can stand to paddle in the cesspool that is the Express for very long.

Headline: causes panic about an ice age coming "soon".

Body text: refutes the headline, and says actually because of global warming an ice age is thousands of years away.

I need your help (please read all 3 tweets)

There are hundreds, maybe thousands of local news websites across the UK.

Would you be able to check your local one(s) for Brexit-related news?

Specifically, job losses, company moves and the like.

[NOW READ TWEET 2 - THANKS]

1/3
What I'm looking for:
- News stories *newer than 13 December 2019*
-Stories explicitly connected to, or the result of, Brexit. The connection has to be made in a quote *by someone connected with the firm* e.g a CEO, senior manager etc.

[NOW READ TWEET 3 - THANKS]

2/3
What I am NOT looking for:
- News stories where link to Brexit is speculative (e.g. connection is made by the journalist, a union representative, an opposition MP etc.)
- News stories without the name of the company in them (e.g. "leading X company" is useless).

THANK YOU!

Matt Hancock has fallen into the Liz Truss trap of allowing incriminating old tweets to linger... thus proving that his principles have been subsumed to his desire for power.
Here's the matching screenshot...
Oh, and then there's this...

Good morning and welcome to yet another #Brexit thread

Have just woken up this morning to see that the Government in the Lords backed down at 01:30 and agreed to give the #BennBill time to go through all stages in the Lords

So I'm going to grab a coffee and try to find...

1/n
the business for today for both Houses

2/n
And indeed, today's the day that the Lords starts on the #BennBill

No firm commitment on timing just yet but I will hopefully be here to cover it live

And let's get today's #Brexit thread started

#Letwin is expected to make an application for an emergency debate sometime after 17:30 which, if successful, will result in an emergency debate on Brexit sometime around 18:00

In the meantime the real stuff is still going on...

1/n
behind the scenes

Senior Tory rebels have been in to see Johnson and have basically come back out describing the meeting as being crap, and the Johnson is still sticking to the claim that the whip will be withdrawn from any Tory MP that votes against the government

2/n
All the current rumblings from Labour still seem to indicate that they won't back a vote calling for a General Election unless legislation is in place to stop a No Deal Brexit on 31 October, but that's still a case of wait and see

EU now see G7 as moment “there will be noise” on Brexit as Johnson holds talks with Juncker/Macron/Merkel/Conte
From Frost meeting last week it was clear UK does not have a plan for new talks
“No deal appears to be UK government’s central scenario,” said senior official
One ambassador said, “there is no desire to negotiate at all,”
UK asking for new EU mandate
“Will [EU] change the mandate? No. Change to what? What is the UK mandate ? There is not one,” said senior official
Frost also admitted that even without the backstop, the ERG could well block a deal
“Even if EU gave up the backstop there is no alternative”

Last night @jeremycorbyn laid down his concrete proposals for Labour to vote with May on the #Brexit Withdrawal Agreement in the Commons.

labour.org.uk/press/jeremy-c…

Let us look at them from an EU27 perspective and what they mean for the negotiations:
/1
@jeremycorbyn On the positive side, Corbyn accepts that the WA will not be reopened - including the backstop - and focuses on the Political declaration to assure the Backstop will not be needed.

As @AndrewDuffEU argued, this is a much more viable path for agreement with the EU27.
@jeremycorbyn @AndrewDuffEU His proposals are, however, little less than a Labour form of cherry picking:

On Customs Union, he wants a seat with full say at the table for the UK. A form of consultations, possibly, but certainly no vote for a third country.

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
