The UK has been subjected to a cleverly partitioned, rolling attack delivered by 5 #BrexitPMs
The 1st to advance the cause was David Cameron
The most deceptive of the 5, he lit the fuse on the Brexit bomb & set our course.
What he achieved for the cause, a thread 1/9

#BrexitPMs
He played on EU scepticism in the Conservative party first to gain his seat in Witney in the 2001 election and then again during the 2005 party leadership contest.
He advocated for leaving the ECHR, falsely claiming it was impeding our ability to tackle immigration. #BrexitPMs

He began the era of austerity, serving to fuel dissatisfaction with life in the UK among the working classes. This played a key role in influencing many working-class voters to believe that Brexit could offer them an alternative to falling living standards in the UK. #BrexitPMs
He began to let think tanks lead the debate around EU membership and promote EU scepticism within his own party long before the referendum.
During this time Sunak also published his report on Freeports in a post-Brexit Britain for the Centre of Policy Studies. #BrexitPMs

He faced several rebellions over the EU issue during his time as party leader & instead of confronting his backbenchers & offering them an alternative vision as their young enthusiastic leader, he gave them exactly what they wanted and pledged to hold the referendum. #BrexitPMs
This served to pour fuel on the fire that Cameron had not only allowed to take hold but had repeatedly stoked during his time as Party leader.
The referendum pledge began to bring UKIP voters to the Conservative party, starting to move the party’s base further right. #BrexitPMs

Cameron then rejected calls for "blue on blue attacks" against Leave campaigners & neutered the Conservative Remain campaign while the Leave groups colluded, overspent, met with Steve Bannon & deployed Cambridge Analytica's military psyops tech on the British public. #BrexitPMs
Predictably like any arsonist, rather than trying to douse the flames that had now spread from the Conservative Party and had begun engulfing the rest of the country, Cameron ran away and handed over the baton to the next stooge, to build upon his work. #BrexitPMs
Full article detailing how their policies have consistently built on those of their predecessors while guiding their successors. The strategy makes it hard to follow the direction of travel until it is too late & to apportion blame correctly. #BrexitPMs medium.com/@cormack.lawso…
