Andrew Marr is leaving the BBC.
Thanks for helping to make UK politics so toxic. 👍🏿
#Marr @AndrewMarr9
A number of people are accusing me of selective editing. So here's the full clip.

Andrew Marr refers to the above as "a few thoughts of my own".
To those saying he was just explaining why people voted leave.

He didn't present that racism as flawed views held by others.

He said the presence of ethnic minorities was "eroding OUR sense of self".

So he didn't just legitimise those views; he IDENTIFIED with them!
And the phrase "washed among us"... Are you kidding me!

That refers to not putting "whites and colours" in the washing machine together becsuse otherwise the colours run.
He's talking about racial purity!

That wasn't in any of any Vote Leave handbook.
THAT WAS ALL ANDREW MARR!

Jordan Peterson is on #BBCqt tonight.

Get ready to agree with almost everything he says, but be aware that he will subtly and intelligently slip in 5% that is society-breakingly evil.
Jordan Peterson narrative:
Politicians can't be expected to know everything about everything; we just need them to say sorry when they get things wrong.

Flaw:
They're meant to use their civil service experts. They could have checked BEFORE they wrote their HS2 manifesto!
#BBCqt
Jordan Peterson narrative:
Politicians take a financial hit when they enter politics.

Flaw:
Boris Johnson was a millionaire.
They're earning 100s of £1000s. Their financial difficulties are NOTHING compared that of people on universal credit, whose lives are at stake!

Can we PLEASE recognise that it's not OK for the government to pursue policies which their civil service experts say will be hugely damaging to the country.

The civil service are the government's experts. Boris Johnson studied Greek poetry! HE DOESN'T KNOW BETTER!!
The Government's experts came to the conclusion that pursuing Brexit would hurt the people of this country, NO MATTER WHAT DEAL THEY NEGOTIATED.

That was what informed their decisions!

So by pursuing Brexit, they have been INTENTIONALLY hurting the UK.

And they KNEW THAT!

That's why John Redwood refused to answer this question.

Dear @GMB_union & @the_tuc,

Tories have been in power for 46 of the last 76 years, despite the majority voting Left-of-Tory in all but 3 elections since WW2.

So FPTP is OBJECTIVELY worse for your members. You will answer to them when the Tories win again.

WORK WITH @Labour4PR!
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

That means supporting FPTP and expecting Labour governments to be in power long-term, when FPTP is statistically proven to benefit the Tories, is insane.
The Tories are now changing the electoral boundaries to maximise the advantage that FPTP already gives them.

@The_TUC, @unitetheunion @GMB_union

Supporting First-Past-The-Post IS SUPPORTING THE TORIES.

Can you guys please take a look in the mirror. 😥

Boris Johnson: 'The best way to ensure every MPs IS properly safe is to get Brexit done'.

Translation: Follow my political agenda or you may die.

...which is the attitude behind every political assassination ever committed... promoted by the most powerful man in the country.
If someone came to your workplace and told you the best way to ensure your family is safe is to vote for x, you'd call the police!!

The fact some people seem to think mentioning that our Prime Minister knowingly used death threats, is just "political point scoring" terrifies me.
We've become so numb to a man who once conspired to beat up a journalist that mentioning the evil stuff he's said and done is seen as political point-scoring.

Just because our broken voting system means this stuff doesn't get him removed DOESN'T MEAN WE STOP TAKING IT SERIOUSLY!

I'm catching up on the full Lord Frost speech now. I'm 2 minutes in and I'm already really embarrassed.
It's like he's literally trying to buy time by talking about any random historical anecdote that pops into his head!
Oh my god!
Lord Frost opened his speech by basically telling the EU: We don't negotiate based on reason. We're just angry.
How is Lord Frost even alive?

Surely just to breathe you need to know that you exist, and that's a level or self-awareness that is clearly beyond him.

Negotiations with EU ✅
Legal challenges ✅
Parliament battles over negotiating positions ✅
UK divided ✅
UK international laughing stock ✅
Arguments over whether Brexit is damaging economy ✅
Northern Ireland borders uncertain ✅
No-Deal threats ✅

How exactly is Brexit done?
Just ask yourself this question:

The Brexit fatigue that the slogan "Get Brexit Done" was designed to appeal to...
Do you think that fatigue was about whether our signature was on the EU treaties, or a desire to no longer hear about the things listed above?

So #IsBrexitDoneYet?
I'm just going to use stories from the last 7 days to prove I'm right on all this:
