Thanks to the ridiculous general election we have a government who are delivering nothing but mess mess mess! I don’t care what any of you say it was absolutely the right thing to fight for a second referendum and parliament should have supported that instead of damaging the UK!
It was the only pathway to returning to a level headed sensible politics! I hope there are politicians and ex mps who will genuinely search their consciences and understand the bad choices they made in indulging the English nativist brexit fiasco with their indifference/support
I have examined my journey and I conclude that fundamentally we followed the only campaign path we could. The British public are now waking up to the fact that they were conned. It was the job of all MPs to look after their constituents first and not their own jobs or parties.
If we’re lucky we may be able to reverse the damage but only if the politicians start to put the good of their constituents first and work together to lead instead of to con! The leading brexiters are wrong in everything they tell us about Brexit. The end! #BrexitReality

I keep hearing a naive argument from Tory MPs & their cheerleaders that no deal won’t affect so many businesses but they are being completely dishonest about the realities of business in the 21st century. We are all interconnected and rely on the overall health of the economy 1/
Those companies who export are directly affected - if they lose business

1. they lose jobs
2. They stop investing
3. They pay less tax
4. They spend less in their GB based supply chains which in turn leads to 1-3 in those companies
2/
5. They spend less with service companies which in turn leads to 1-3 in those companies
6. The laid off staff in all 3 parts of industry have less money to spend in the local economy which in turn leads to 1-3 in those companies

So many parts of this totally outstanding. But mainly it reminded me why we started organising in earnest in our communities in 2018 and got behind a second referendum. We recognised that the push from government was from the start always going to lead to this precipice. 1/
There was never a soft Brexit option and as we learned more and more about the nitty gritty it was a totally pointless option anyway. The strings were being pulled by the ERG, the tail was wagging the dog. 2/
There were too many politicians in parliament unwilling to tell the truth to their constituents, and that is what we tried to do. To get our local MPs to tell the truth by trying to shine a light on the truth within our constituencies. 3/

Learned something new watching #hospital which was about the amazing organ transplant work they do. It seems that Eu governments pay for their citizens to get specialist treatment in the UK, so putting money into the system and also sometimes supply organs for British patients.
There is also a reciprocal arrangement whereby British patients can be sent to the EU. These cooperative arrangements have averted premature deaths.
So after all that scaremongering that brexiters did about health tourism making Brits think they are being had by those forens, it seems in fact, the NHS - and therefore British patients and taxpayers - benefit in a very genuine way from overseas patients.

Serious question. How are parents across the land supposed to teach their children moral values and that bullying is wrong and has consequences if the prime minister and the Home Secretary and all the Tory MPs say that Bullying is Acceptable?
Someone mentioned mp expenses earlier. Indeed the public was outraged at that scandal because it was about the poor standards of public behaviour. The Tories have since taken this degradation of standards to new depths and the public doesn’t seem to care.
If people who hold the highest office in the land have appalling standards and no moral code which they follow publicly, this just gives the green light to everyone else to behaving appallingly at will. It creates a Wild West of Ethics!

I would like to know why for several years the business people invited onto news programs have been only the deluded idiots who did not understand this basic truth. The @BBC in particular made it look again and again like it was a 50 50 split on opinion on this.
In fact I bet it was probably, amongst business people, more like 80-90 percent of the opinion that Brexit is costly and will leave our businesses significantly worse off. And only about 5 percent who are absolutely convinced it is the bees knees!
The reality in business and industry is that there was no finely balanced opinion. Overwhelming consensus was, in the most simplistic terms, that #brexit was never going to be something which helps business or industry and was only going to cause damage.
