Hmm. I missed this. ft.com/content/a434b7…
For anyone keeping score. Brexit just cost us £6Billion in one day.
That's 60% of our yearly EU membership fee. In ONE DAY.
Why? Because Boris Johnson's Brexit Deal didn't get full equivalence on financial services.
How did Boris Johnson describe the failures of his deal which just cost our country £6 Billion's worth of business?

"Perhaps not as much as we would have liked". I usually love British understatement, but here...
Just popping this in here for accuracy.
Here's us being warned that this would happen by one of the world's leading economists in the summer of 2017.

As we've gone for the #SlowBleedBrexit, I really wasn't expecting any "I told you so" moments to happen in the first few days...
But then again, I didn't expect the pound to fall back in June 2016...

Brexit... Always defying expectations. 👍🏿

If someone tweeted "Go out and kill a *insert colour* person*, they could get arrested for incitement to violence and we agree with that because someone could get hurt.

Someone explain the moral difference between that and the Right-wing hacks telling people to ignore the rules?
I saw this from Toby Young and it just got me thinking...
If enough people listened to this, many people would die.
Or maybe a more direct instruction not to follow the rules, like here...

All eyes on #Ridge and #Marr.

This is the last MP interview before No-Deal Brexit is* announced.

Today is when Brexit stops being the Will of the People and starts being an attack by the Germans & French.

Will @AndrewMarr9& @skynewsniall call it out or platform the propaganda?
The deal Johnson signed in 2019 and won his election on was tied to a political declaration that said we'd have a Level Playing Field based on our geographic proximity.
So if you let them imply the EU's being unreasonable for not giving us a deal like Canada... 🤬
#Marr #Ridge Image
Here's @skynewsniall essentially repeating the tweet at the top of this thread.

I'm going to have to make a big video on that interview... in the 4 minutes before Marr starts.😅

So it begins....
Former UKIP Leader Suzanne Evans says the EU is "forcing the UK to fail economically".
It seems @SuzanneEvans1 has blocked me, so she won't see this video unless it's posted in a reply to her by someone who isn't me.
Bloody hell! I went to get a screen shot of her blocking me, and EVEN HER PROFILE PICTURE IS A DANGEROUS LIE.

Lockdowns prevent hospitals being overrun with Covid patients, to make sure they CAN catch cancer!

Oh I'm very aware of that. I'm blocked by Julia Hartley-Brewer, Daniel Hannan, and John Redwood, and while it's a nice badge of honour...
It means they're able to spew misinformation without being challenged by me.
Here are the videos that got me blocked:
With Julia Hartley-Brewer, she blocked me for sharing this video.
So now she can spread intolerance without me bothering her.
@JuliaHB1
Daniel Hannan blocked me for sharing this video. In fact we were supposed to debate each other with @krishgm, but he pulled out as soon as he heard it was me.
So now @DanielJhannan can keep lying about Brexit without me calling him out.

Hmmm...🤔
Brexiters now want a No-Deal which forces the EU to put tariffs on the UK, because they don't want a deal where if UK standards fall behind EU standards the EU would put tariffs on the UK?

You're snatching the gun out of the EU's hand and shooting yourself in the face.
Everyone gets how dumb this is, right?
The only substantial difference between what they're complaining about and what they're going for is that what they're going for has zero chance of even temporary free trade.

Here a few reasons why you shouldn't be nasty to Leave-voters who lose their jobs because of Brexit.
#BrexitReality
Even as I was making this video, part of my brain was screaming the opposite, because this argument works for voting Leave, but less so for voting Tory after 3yrs of chaos...

It's not a black and white issue, but I wanted to put out a strong argument in the compassion direction.
But I guess that's the dilemma we've all been dealing with since day 1.
