On @RishiSunak and an #AgeOfOptimism
I pity him
Reduced to such trite bullshit
When was the last "Age of Optimism"
Who declares it such an age?
Why did it end?

Here is @BorisJohnson again on his "Age of Optimism"
Not only that age
But we are being held back by “pessimists at home and abroad.”

Pessimists abroad you say?
Who could he mean - is he talking about people like Barack Obama who harbour an "ancestral hatred" of the United Kingdom?
Oh my bad - here's one of Trump's trade advisors

Wilbur even took an opportunity on that much needed "correction" to sterling that happened after 23/6/2016 to make some shrewd moves

You remember that correction of course
If was the one Vote Leave told us was all "Project Fear"
The one that Andrea "mother" Leadsom told us was nonsense and then after 24/6/16 well it was a "good thing"

Crispin Odey backed Leave and made millions as market sank now says the economy will shrink &
inflation will rise
“There’s that Italian expression ‘Al mattino ha l'oro in bocca’ – the morning has gold in its mouth & never has one felt so much that idea as this morning really.

So anyway coming back to @RishiSunak
He is fairly typical
A standard peddler of all the regular brexit tropes, lies and bullshit

Here's a reminder of Dominic Cummings:
"Would we have won without immigration? No. Would we have won without £350m/NHS? All our research and the close result strongly suggests No. Would we have won by spending our time talking about trade and the Single Market? No way"

Here's a short (sic) thread on how brexit was won by cheats, liars, racists and simplist nativist fantasy peddling charlatans

Here's a reminder of WHAT WAS PROMISED by brexit
And WHAT WAS DELIVERED
And WHAT WAS DELIVERED
Here's a reminder that in June of 2020
Conservative MPs and Ministers with over 40,000 dead from a pandemic that they let rip
That they CHOSE to let the bodies pile high
They WANTED TO EXPLOIT THE PANDEMIC to mask the effects of brexit

I wrote a thread on that exploitation of a pandemic

So Liz Truss
She has NEVER once in 5 years been able to explain how brexit will make anything better
She still holds this view
BUT she cannot admit to this
SHE has to pretend she has changed her mind

“The forecasts that are made have been consistently too gloomy about the economy, so I think there is an issue with the forecasts, but the reality is very strong.”

Also Jacob
"What we need to look at is the reality, the really successful reality of economic policy since 2010 rather than fretting too much about gloomy forecasts."
Oh yes - here's reality rather than Jacob's lies

Here's Jacob being challenged on the lies of a red bus
And Jacob bless him
Does not only double down on the lie
He quintuples down

Oh yes see also : the lie of "many solutions to the NI border"

Jacob was so desperate he peddled an article SO BAD that even the Scum (Sun) had to row back from it

I can't imagine being Jacob
Being so desperate you lie to the Queen to unlawfully prorogue Parliament
And having to own the consequences of cheating, lies and racism that you sold

@sajidjavid is fascinating of course
As he wrote of the "lost decade of brexit"
I am not sure whether that started on 23/6/2016 or on 1/1/2021
HE CANCELLED himself
He is so desperate and afraid for self and career
Where was his "optimism" ?

I did a larger thread on the brexit bullshit of "despite brexit"
https://twitter.com/PandaScottish/status/1034127151874957319
I pity @RishiSunak
That all he has to hang his coat tails on is "optimism"
As we exit a pandemic that his party let rip with
And has seen over 150,000 dead
As they let it rip 2.0 or 3.0 amongst children
God help us in winter 2021
That it is not the same as 2020

Just to hark bark to an earlier age and Keynes and a a “masterful manipulation”

This sums it up well
So Rishi's "new age of optimism"
Is really just a rebranding of Boris'
