Remember: because we held all the cards, they needed us more than we needed them, and the genius move of keeping no deal on the table as "no deal is better than a bad deal'", whatever Johnson brought back from Brussels was the best Brexit deal possible.

So what did we win?
More on the issue that was, according to Brextremists and even @bbcnews, so emblematic of the importance of "sovereignty" to #BrexitBritain - fishing.

"We have been sold a basket of stinking mackerel, and red herrings"

Do take a moment to think of the poor people leading the @duponline

Their angry self-serving cynicism, & hypocrisy, have led them to support a Brexit that will now almost inevitably lead to a united Ireland

My heart bleeds for them at this difficult time

And just megalolz at this Twitter exchange between Brextremists

If there are no new non-tariff barriers, why has Boris Johnson tried to recruit 50,000 customs officials?

If you think the big reason Conservatives hate the BBC is because they can't profit from it, you're hugely mistaken

Of course, there are some juicy assets to carve up & sell at a discount to their friends & family there, but that's not what drives Tory hatred

The reason they loathe the BBC is because it stands as a bulwark against the essence of their ideology

Whether news or drama, every show the BBC produces shares the same basic principles

Racism: bad
Poverty: bad
Hate: bad
Caring: good
Society: good
Facts: good
..and so on

But worst of all it's popular.

It's seen as jewel in the national crown, not only by most at home, but globally, & thus very difficult to destroy

In recent decades, foreign billionaire press barons have combined their muscle with secretly funded right wing lobby groups..

MLK depicted in a cartoon in 1967

He was seen by conservatives as an agitator, fomenting riots and crime rather than as a man seeking racial justice, & his image was used to frighten White America

That's exactly how Trump & the Tory press are misrepresenting #BlackLivesMatter

At 05:00 today, desperately hoping to find someone in podcast world who thinks, even vaguely, as I do that the #RussiaReport exposed a fundamental & dangerous set of flaws in our democratic processes & security, for the first time in months I listened to the Remainiacs.

Having enjoyed their output in the days when stopping Brexit was a thing, I thought if there's anywhere that my anger & certain belief that we must know which elections were affected, & as far as possible, to what extent, would be represented it would be among a group..

Of people who always knew the critical damage that Brexit would do to this country, and its security, and the importance, above all things, that integrity, truth, & the rule of law should play in our democracy.

But no.

Let's look at Johnson's record since he has been PM:

- illegally porogued parliament
- only appears to announce good news otherwise hides from public scrutiny
- took 2 week holiday during a deadly pandemic
- tried to force herd immunity & untold deaths on us

1/10
@LBC #r4today
- lied about 'following the science' & as a result over 30,000 people died unnecessarily so far
- tried to blame scientists, medical staff and care homes for the deaths he caused

2/10

@LBC #r4today #c4news #newsnight #bbcpm #bbcaq
- apparently got away with funneling trips & public ££ to a woman he was having sex with while married & in public office
- enabled Cummings to break lockdown law & helped to cover up for him
- enabled Jenrick to break lockdown law & helped to cover up for him
