"Even in the tumultuous hour of victory"

I saw how Gove and Boris looked in their "hour of victory"

They looked scared

Given that Michael can't recall what he did in core group

Why was it his hour of victory?
Not just forces

But mighty forces

How dark and ominous sounding
"I knew mighty forces would do anything to thwart Brexit"
How could anyone thwart it?

We hold all the cards & a plan

14/6/16
"To that end, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, the two leading figures in the Leave campaign, have drawn up a blueprint for implementing a Brexit. Sensibly, it calls for flexibility and a period of reflection."
What about "reasonable people" ?

Dominic
"Creating an exit plan that makes sense & which all reasonable people could unite around seems an almost insuperable task. Eurosceptic groups have been divided for years about many of the basic policy and political questions."
Oh also Dominic
"but we’re off – no matter how hard they make it"

“Of course EU countries will continue trading with us on a tariff free basis - they'd be damaging their own commercial interests if they didn’t. That’s why EU politicians would be banging down the door for a deal on 24/6/16”
"Describing the current impasse in Brussels over Brexit the other day,"

❌we have a plan
❌easiest deal in history
❌we hold all the cards
❌EU will bang our doors 24/6/16
❌EU will collapse
❌liabilities buy a deal
❌TNUMTWNT
❌sunlit uplands
❌many solutions to NI border
How can they make it hard?

Perhaps that plan Michael and Boris wrote will provide some insight

Oh hang on

It doesn't exist

It was a fucking lie
" the Prime Minister explained that ‘it was put to me that this was kind of a bit like twins and the UK is one twin, the EU is another, and if the EU decides to have a haircut then the UK is going to have a haircut or else face punishment. "

Lol at Boris explained
You desperately punting on Boris Sarah at the moment to clear the path for Prime Minister Michael

Who will he have to fight off Rishi?

Liz?
Priti?

it's a crowded field of fools

all vying to be herd leader
"Or if the EU decides to buy an expensive handbag, then the UK has to buy an expensive handbag too or else face tariffs’."

What a weird analogy

Here's a reminder of the USA

cnbc.com/2016/12/27/bre…
"Not quite sure what this tells us about the parenting techniques of your average Brussels mandarin, "

Oh shit

You really think you are in a position to lecture anyone in parenting techniques

Has your son had his first sniff, dinner party with daddy yet?

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…
I love the way you are also in the same sentence belittling the UK civil service

Your smears tell us all we need to know about you

As Thatcher would say

Play the ball Sarah

Those civil servants are way out of your league
"but in any case it’s the wrong analogy, not least because it implies that Britain and the EU are closely related in the first place."

We are related

theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
"Twins have an inherent affinity. Even the most optimistic Remainer would probably concede that London and Brussels are, at the very best, distant cousins."

Take your hollow divisive bullshit elsewhere you sad little spiteful fraud

"In reality, the situation is more similar to a tiresome break-up in which one party simply refuses to accept that the other has reached the end of the line. "

But we hold all the cards

Surely at the last you want to wait for the EU to bow to our cards?
"one partner tries to calmly explain it’s not that they hate the other person, simply that things just aren’t working out any more,"

explain

What like Nadine Dorres needed the customs union explained to her?
"and if they can just agree a sensible arrangement they can remain friends and co-exist on reasonable terms, "

Is that before of after we

use EU citizens as bargaining chips
threaten to starve the Irish
threaten to starve the French
threaten to invade Spain / France
A reminder

❌we have a plan
❌easiest deal in history
❌we hold all the cards
❌EU will bang our doors 24/6/16
❌EU will collapse
❌liabilities buy a deal
❌TNUMTWNT
❌sunlit uplands/dividend
❌many solutions to NI border
"sullen and unreasonable the other person gets. Eventually, having been initially sympathetic, patience begins to wear thin. Inevitably, things start to turn sour."

When did your patience begin to wear thin

Are you worried Michael has missed his chance at PM?
You know what I can't

Her entire article is a hollow pissing shitshow of bullshit, lies, nonsense and deluded deflections and diversions designed to achieve two things

muddy the water and inflame the brexit base
and
secure chance for Mikey to be PM
Here's a thread on Sarah and Michael

[thread] an intro from

August 13th 1949 Miss M. Roberts

"Once they saw a Conservative Government in power they and all Young Conservatives up and down the country would be able to say with Keats. “Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be young was very heaven.”"
Kidding

It doesn't

It works for Richard Desmond

"Mr Desmond had sent Mr Jenrick messages ahead of the approval telling him that “we appreciate the speed as we don’t want to give Marxists loads of doe [sic] for nothing!”,"

independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
"However, Pincher insisted housing secretary Robert Jenrick has “no relationship” with Richard Desmond (pictured, left), owner of developer Westferry Developments, and had no discussions with him about avoiding a levy charge"

Drug policy is a complex area

It falls across social, health and criminal justice areas

I will leave the question of what Scotland is capable of in terms of devolved powers and what is reserved at Westminster

I just want to focus on "SNP cuts"

Can I be the first to congratulate Boris Johnson

On getting a "British shaped deal"

On a "gold standard" trade deal

On making the UK "mightily prosper"

/joking

He won't

But he will sell it as such

And that is all that matters
It is a sign of how desperate brexiteers are

They can no longer pivot to USA Image
Oh and in case you thought it was just Trump that wanted to exploit the damage of brexit Image

[thread] "Our Capital is not safe for young people"

It is almost like there is a Tory mayoral election coming up

So let's have a quick look at this here
Now here is a Home Secretary

Who defunded the Police

Who told the Police to stop crying wolf at the consequences of cuts

Who then DENIED having accused them of crying wolf

"Since Brussels is convinced"

I like that

Personalise it to Brussels

Not 27 EU nations, our friends, neighbours
"convinced that leaving is an unprecedented act of self-harm"

it has been an act of self-harm

see the damage so far

see why no deal has to be sold as an Australia style deal

see why it has to be hidden within the "massive success" of covid

[thread] on "sovereignty"

"Some fears have been expressed that if Britain joins the Common Market she will cease to be able to formulate her own foreign policy and will lose her separate identity. "
"Looking at the European Community at present, it does not appear that its separate members have lost either their identity or their sovereignty. "

edition.cnn.com/2020/06/25/uk/…
"Most people when they talk of sovereignty mean the effective control over the destiny of the nation by Parliament. "
