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.
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

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.
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
- 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
- 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
