.@MelanieLatest & I are on the Brexit Breakdown podcast this week, talking Brexit and all that stuff. But I think more importantly on why we can disagree about everything and still like and listen to one another. ukandeu.ac.uk/multimedia/bre…
@MelanieLatest Also, to illustrate the vast cultural chasm between us, we were asked to recommend something which explained Brexit. She picked Shakespeare's Richard II. I picked Leeroy Jenkins.
@MelanieLatest Sorry - Leeeeeeeeeeeroy Jeeeeeeeeeenkins.

I am now very aware of door handles. I clean my hands. I touch the door handle. The cleaning is undone.
I occasionally try to leave the bathroom through the medium of expressionist dance - grabbing paper towels, using them to open the door, then keeping it open with my foot while I lean back into the bathroom and try to throw them away.
Basically it's been about a day of this and I think I might be becoming slightly neurotic.

Why must it always be so naff.
I really think I could handle the irresponsibility, vandalism and incompetence better if they did it with a little more elegance
And no I don't know what elegant vandalism is.

This can fuck the fuck off and fuck off once again while it's doing it.
Alcohol on long haul flights is free. Free. Actually free booze. Like in paradise. That's why it tastes so sweet.
You cannot take away all the nice things, for heaven's sake. This has to stop somewhere.

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back out describing the meeting as being crap, and the Johnson is still sticking to the claim that the whip will be withdrawn from any Tory MP that votes against the government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

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

UK Rants: #StandUp4Brexit
@uk_rants
The #Brexit rant 👇
1) In 2015 Cameron went to EU for reform.
I said, if he returns with something tangible, I'd support his choice on EURef (Remain, turns out).
EU sent him home with his tail between his legs & made me a hardened #Brexit supporter, when I saw them humiliate him.
2) Cameron was a giant amongst mere clowns, but they still disrespected him.
He stands above every one of them, as the leader who steered his nation best through the choppy waters of the 2008 economic crash.
They had no RIGHT to humiliate the man.
3) Ever since then, EU has been arrogant & constantly felt entitled to humliliate our PM.
I've gone from being willing to listen & possibly Remain, to wanting out on whatever terms necessary.
WTO is my benchmark, I'll accept a reasonable deal, but no half-way measures at all.

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
