And also being good at explaining complex stuff means you know your limits, and know who to ask when you struggle.

Here follows a list of people who've helped me in the past couple of weeks. I don't agree with all of them, all the time, but you should follow *all* of them - because above all they have the right *attitude* to solving complex problems!

There are undoubtedly people I have missed, but the essence is this: if I have been able to make people understand something about Brexit, laugh about Brexit, see Brexit as somehow not just a mess or boring... then these people helped me do it.

They helped by providing me knowledge, or helping me understand things. By motivating me to do things, or to act in a particular way. Or being grateful for what I did or others did, and generally keeping people's mood reasonable.

So sorry for my earlier rants at one journalist. Let me try to turn that round, turn it into something positive - if it worries me that journalist has too large an audience, then at least I can give a little boost to those I wish had a wider following than they do!
