Open Letter to MPs on the Government Benches

Dear MPs,

Some thoughts about sewage, credibility & integrity.

92 of your Conservative colleagues didn’t follow the government whip in voting down the Lords amendment on sewage in water.

If you did, that was your choice. /1.

But be aware: many people are angry with you. They don’t like the way you voted. That’s their choice.

By all means try to explain your vote. You’re on very shaky ground, in my opinion. And that of 92 of your Party colleagues. But have a go. If you want. /2.

Please, though, do not exploit the alleged terrorist assassination of one of your respected colleagues to attempt to shut down polite, robust, or even angry, opposition to your vote on raw sewage dumping.

Or any other vote, for that matter.

Have some self-respect. /3.

“EU Rule of Law Crisis”

What’s going on?

1. Poland’s government is dismantling democracy, taking over the courts & ripping up its legally binding EU treaty commitments.

2. Germany’s highest court has ruled in one, technical judgement that the ECJ exceeded its powers.

A 🧵/1.

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) is the highest instance in the EU for the interpretation of legal obligations arising from the EU treaties, including relevant legislation. /2.

By acceding to the EU treaties the member states legally bind themselves to respect the ECJ’s judgements &, of course, the treaties themselves & relevant legislation. There are no two ways about it. /3.

@BorisJohnson

The surprise & consternation expressed by many that @BorisJohnson & @DavidGHFrost are insisting on the role of the ECJ being eliminated from all aspects of Northern Ireland is odd.

Everyone has known this is the UK position, since at least December 2019.

What’s up?

A🧵/1.

@Conservatives

.@Conservatives manifesto had a whole section on Brexit.

Famously (or infamously) the centrepiece & overwhelming message of the Conservative campaign was that they would “get Brexit done” with @BorisJohnson’s “oven-ready deal”. /2.

@Conservatives

To be sure, that “deal” was the Withdrawal Agreement (including Northern Ireland Protocol), not the later Trade & Cooperation Agreement which was rammed through the House of Commons a year later, in December 2020. The WA/NIP was hailed as “great” by @Conservatives. /3.

@BulletinAtomic

It’s 10 seconds to midnight in the UK.

According to @BulletinAtomic, custodians of the Doomsday Clock, globally it’s 100 seconds.

Closer than 1958, with nuclear annihilation a constant danger.

But on top of that, climate & pandemic, the UK has added self-destruction.

A 🧵/1.

It isn’t that the UK’s the only country to have descended into an existential political crisis. Others have, or are on the brink, or have dragged themselves back from it. /2.

The erosion of relative US power - though still massive & bigger than ever in absolute terms - is disrupting & destabilising the world, coarsening politics, damaging security & societies.

Even seen against that background, however, the UK’s authoritarian lurch is dramatic. /3.

@BorisJohnson

Much talk of PR being better than the unfair UK system.

Others say current arrangements deliver clear majorities & powerful govt.

But, even if you like @BorisJohnson, do we really have the latter?

And: how close are we to midnight?

Spoilers. No. And: 10 seconds.

A🧵/1.

Political parties, especially the main ones, are all coalitions of some kind. We know that.

But what’s the reality in the current governing party & how is it affecting govt behaviour?

In short: quite extraordinary; &, a lot. /2.

With a majority of 80 you’d expect Mr Johnson, despite his somewhat erratic personality, to feel comfortable, appear decisive &, within limits, be effective.

He’s none of those things.

Deeply ill at ease. Dithering. And failing on every significant metric. /3.

Paging @annietrev, @DavidGHFrost & @BorisJohnson.

International trade is vital to our economy & security.

Your actions are dragging us down.

The UK’s EU roll-over deals aren’t forever.

The Johnson Brexit’s a highly damaging, oven-ready turkey.

Time to change.

A 🧵 /1.

Working together with our EU partners, we traded highly successfully with countries all around the globe.

Not as successfully as Germany, admittedly. (Funny how they do so well …).

Far from enhancing the UK’s international trading opportunities … /2.

… the Johnson Brexit strangles our international trade.

You know perfectly well why.

It’s all in the advice you receive.

Which hasn’t (yet) been entirely reprogrammed to ignore expertise & objectivity so as to fit with reality-free public messaging. /3.
