What is #Moonshot ?

Moonshot is a £100bn dead cat distraction

Tory gov is trying to break the international laws they co-created with the EU in the Withdrawal agreement they voted for the 9th on Jan, having used it to win the Dec 19 election, and was ratified on the 24th of Jan

The Withdrawal agreement was a new agreement drawn up by the Johnson government in cooperation with EU late 2019

It is not May's deal

He could not get it through the 17/19 Parliament

Election was held in December

Withdrawal "#OvenReadyBrexit" agreement was his centre piece

Here is Johnson calling it a great deal Nov and Dec 2019

The deal HE co-created

He knew exactly what was in it back in Nov and Dec 2019

Johnson won the election

Many Red Wall Labour seats voted for his Withdrawal "#OvenReadyBrexit" agreement to get Brexit over and done with

9th Jan, the new 2020 Parliament with its 80 seat Tory majority voted with much fanfare for his Withdrawal "#OvenReadyBrexit" agreement

On the 24th Jan the EU 27 elected heads of state (PMs and Presidents) signed it off

Thus it became treaty between the UK and the EU

Same as any other treaty, it was now international law between the two

31st Jan UK left the EU into transition period that ends 23.00 31/12/2020

August, Tory gov started grumbling about the Withdrawal "#OvenReadyBrexit" agreement that Johnson & the EU had co-created last Nov 2019

Early Sept word of a new bill to modify the WA without the EU approval thus breaking the UK/EU international law co-created 8 months earlier

8th Sept NI sec announces plans to changed the WA

Admits UK gov will be breaking the international law in a treaty it co-created in good faith only 9 months earlier

9th

The #InternalMarketBill is published and people are stunned

Its much worse than imagined

Massive power grab from the devolved assembles of

Holroyd
Welsh assembly

But worse follows

The power grab from NI

In effect the bill if passed gives the NI sec total control of all laws, UK & EU over NI

It gives the NI sec Brandon Lewis powers way over and above that of "Direct rule"

The danger this poses to the Good Friday agreement is extremely high

Even Tory MP are surprised by the scope of this act

Several make their concerns know and are unwilling to vote break international law

The ERG pipes up and demands that the #InternalMarketBill is made much much more extreme!

Later that day, Johnson announces #Moonshot

My opinion, to

1: to distract that Tory gov trying to break the international laws they co-created with the EU in the Withdrawal agreement

2: covert £100bn of our UK tax payers money into £100bn of Tory donor and supporter money

And remember this Gov gave its self the power to amend bills with out parliamentary scrutiny.

Be in no doubt, this bill designed to centralise all power in No 10

Not parliament
