It's #WorldKindnessDay
@nickynoo007 made the brilliant suggestion to #KillBrexitWithKindness
Here's my *stab*: thank you #Brexit for honing my power point skills. In gratitude, I'm posting my top-20 most popular anti-#Brexit/#StopBrexit memes (in no particular order).
1. One of the more recent ones on @DavidDavisMP hypocrisy over his failure to release the Brexit Impact Reports or sector studies or whatever they are, which he testified existed in "excruciating detail"
Release the #BrexitImpactReports #StopBrexit #revokeA50forthwith #FBPE
2. Never has this one on the #Tory Kakistocracy seemed more relevant with @michaelgove throwing #NazaninZaghariRatcliffe under a bus on #Marr to throw a political lifeline to his dangerously incompetent buddy @BorisJohnson
#StopBrexit #exitfrombrexit #revokeA50forthwith #FBPE
3. Despite 2 baby steps in the right direction recently, #MichaelGove's record suggests he's not a committed environmentalist. There's no such thing as a Green #Brexit. #JacobReesMogg plans to throw Green regs on the #Tory bonfire of regulations (cf #Grenfell) #StopBrexit #FBPE
4. With all of Leave's promises having evaporated & Theresa May warning the country to brace for a very difficult #Brexit, nobody should be under any illusion that #Brexit is a good idea. Sadly delusions don't die that easily. #StopBrexit #FBPE
5. Another topical one, with @BorisJohnson's nonchalant incompetence resulting in a British woman receiving a harsher sentence in Iran & @LiamFox admitting @johnredwood has been telling us porky pies when he said EU trade deals simply *novate* to us. They don't. #StopBrexit #FBPE
6. With @IDSMP making bullying #Brexit pronouncements (no, we're not all #Brexiters now, Iain) & loathsome Leadsom leading the way in subverting British democracy, this meme on their fraudulent CVs has been popular.
#StopBrexit #exitfrombrexit #revokeA50forthwith #FBPE
7.Brexit is a fraud on the British people. We were promised sunlit uplands & £350m/wk for our #NHS. Nobody mentioned the opportunity cost of #Brexit. OBR forecasts £15.2bn/yr, almost 2x our EU dues. Govt will sell #NHS to pay for it. Let's #StopBrexit & fix Britain instead. #FBPE
8. It's increasingly clear that we voted blindfolded last year, unaware of the risks to the union of our home nations and in particular peace in NI + Gibraltar. (Shamefully, some tabloids & MPs like Hoey still play down those risks.)
#StopBrexit #exitfrombrexit #FinalSay #FBPE
9. Astonishing that despite growing evidence of foreign interference in #Brexit openly being discussed in the public domain, this #Tory Govt is doing absolutely nothing about it. As a true patriot, I say #NoRussianBrexit
#StopBrexit #exitfrombrexit #FinalSay #FBPE
10. Americans meddled in the EU-Ref too, testing out techniques they would later use to get Trump elected, but Russia gains the most from UK carrying out its foreign policy for it. How much did the three #BrexitBandits know? We need to know. #StopBrexit #BrexitInquiry #FBPE
11. UK Govt is rushing headlong towards the cliff-edge of the most extreme form of #Brexit that only a minority of Leave voters wanted. #Brexiters shamefully use MSM to lull the public into thinking *no deal* is OK. Meanwhile, they move their money offshore... #StopBrexit #FBPE
12. Never before have I been so bothered by the smug complacency of politicians as I have by the shower of Cons in the Cabinet. Their boastful, jingoistic public schoolboy attitude makes me cringe. #NotInMyName You lot don't even know how to spell *integrity*. #StopBrexit #FBPE
13. Brexiters are treating us like frogs. They think they can tell us a pack of lies, then gradually row back on them, but they'll get away with it because we'll stay in the #Brexit pot, nice and docile, and let them boil us alive. #StopBrexit #exitfrombrexit #FinalSay #FBPE
14. Even under friendly questioning of @michaelgove, @DavidDavisMP was unable to name a single benefit of #Brexit. All of this disruption & division for no reward poses an unjustifiable risk to Britain's cohesion, economy & prestige. #StopBrexit #exitfrombrexit #FinalSay #FBPE
15. Today in the news: 40 #Tory MPs mull a motion of #NoConfidence in @theresa_may. The way she's thrown her lot in with the #BrexitTaliban & sacrificed the national interest to #Brexit ideology, just to keep her party together, is osbscene. #StopBrexit #FBPE
16. @DavidDavisMP before he went to the dark side...
#StopBrexit #exitfrombrexit #revokeA50forthwith #SaveTheUK #FinalSay #FBPE
17. It's not just the Tories though, is it? We need to talk about Jeremy...
2/3 of Lab voters are #Remainers but @jeremycorbyn is a #Brexit collaborator rather than a challenger. Rise up, JC! Save us from #Tory #Brexit. Declare for #Remain & romp into N°10. #StopBrexit #FBPE
18. A reminder that abolishing FoM cuts both ways: #Brexit also strips Brits of the right to freely study, work, retire, live & love in EU27 countries, severely limiting opportunities for education, work & cultural exchange. #StopBrexit #exitfrombrexit #FinalSay #FBPE
19. Brexit comes down to a pack of lies, undeliverable promises & a rabid press intent on rubbishing the benefits of international cooperation for private gain. If you care about #peace, then #imagine #StopBrexit #exitfrombrexit #revokeA50forthwith #FBPE
20. Finally, to round off this #KillBrexitWithKindness thread in honour of #WorldKindnessDay, here's something a little more lighthearted. I heard today that not only will #Brexit give us shiny white unicorns that live on sunlit uplands, but also sea-unicorns! #StopBrexit #FBPE

@IanDunt We are. Problem is distribution. We just aren't getting traction with those who have platforms.

I was an assoc. prod on a pro-EU documentary. Critics who usually review our director's films said sorry, no can do & some cinemas declined to screen it for fear of Brexiter backlash.
@IanDunt Here's one of my own small efforts:
@IanDunt There's a slower version of 101 Reasons To #Stay on Youtube, for anyone who may be interested:

@VictoriaLIVE @ProfRWinston @Aisleyne1 @BBCTwo @BBCNews Let's look at A's reasons for voting #Leave:
"Us being able to fix our our problems. I think the #NHS, our teachers are underpaid, and I believe that we put so much money into the EU."
a) We CAN fix our own problems. Public services are 100% managed by own Govt —

/1.
@VictoriaLIVE @ProfRWinston @Aisleyne1 @BBCTwo @BBCNews — except the bits Govt privatised! The EU does not interfere with how our Govt runs the NHS or its education policy or the police force, etc.

The competences of the EU are defined by treaty. They tend to be issues that extend beyond national borders.

/2.
@VictoriaLIVE @ProfRWinston @Aisleyne1 @BBCTwo @BBCNews Typical areas include trade, environment & security.

Think about it. When was the last time you heard the #NHS complaining to the EU abt underfunding? Or schools complaining the the EU abt kids going hungry? Never. They complain to our Govt cos' OUR GOVT is responsible.

@TomTugendhat @Andrew_Adonis Let's look at the facts:
1. The Ref MPs voted for was advisory
2. Cameron then made it binding in the minds of voters who don't understand the niceties of our constitution, which was shabby & underhand of him, because he created a political imperative to take the Ref advice

/1.
@TomTugendhat @Andrew_Adonis 3. Parliament never formally made the decision to leave, but gave Mrs May the power to trigger #Article50 through the shameful A50 Bill (launched before its rubbish White Paper was released), which converted Parliament into an irrelevant rubber stamp in the #Brexit process.

/2.
@TomTugendhat @Andrew_Adonis 4. Under pressure from the Economic Ruin Group (ERG), Mrs May triggered A50 prematurely, without impact assessments and, crucially, without agreement in her party as to what form #Brexit should take, let alone a plan.

Get your brain into gear this morning with this long read from @ChloeFarand and myself for @DeSmogUK on how US libertarians and fossil fuel interests are infiltrating the UK's #Brexit debate and pushing for environmental deregulation desmog.co.uk/2018/11/18/mat…

Here's a tldr THREAD
The story centres around a power couple in Brexit politics, Matthew and Sarah Elliott. Matthew was chief of Vote Leave and still has fingers in lots of Brexit pies. Sarah is chair of Republicans overseas, and used to work for fossil fuel magnates the Koch brothers.
In the US, the couple have strong ties to the #Kochtopus network and libertarian Trump-funder Robert Mercer. In the UK, they have strong ties to the remnants of the Leave campaign, and a network of groups lobbying for mass deregulation post-Brexit based out of #TuftonStreet

Here's a thread on the #Brexit #Backstop, the #Border and NI/IRL,
in which I try to succinctly explain why I think the UK govt has got itself in an unnecessary pickle on this one,
& how it might get out of it.

1/11
The Protocol is intended as ‘insurance’ in case a future UK-EU agreement is insufficient to meet the commitments made in the Joint Report bit.ly/2Bgjvj6. In that sense it is *already* conditional & envisaged as temporary.
It is a backstop, not a precursor.

2/11
The Protocol is the EU showing most flexibility (cherrypicking) *for* Northern Ireland in the very areas that the UK is finding hard to swallow, i.e. NI being in a Common Regulatory Area and the Customs Territory of the EU.

Catch me on @skynews at 12.30 GMT - where I will be discussing Theresa May’s meeting with Angela Merkel in Berlin. #Brexit
1. In case it wasn’t already clear - Germany’s position on Brexit will not change. The U.K. has a history of over-relying in Germany in EU negotiations. (Cameron made this mistake too.)
2. This displays a misunderstanding of the vital political, strategic and economic importance of the EU to Germany.

Two EU sources say UK discreetly asked about extending #Brexit transition beyond Dec 31 2020. The EU said 'no'.

The UK government categorically denies this exchange ever happened. My latest.

And some brief observations. /1

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
The EU offer of transition to Dec 31 2020 is plainly inadequate - just 21 months. The date is picked because it is the end of their budget cycle. Both sides know this. /2
The UK position - per Mrs May in Florence - is "about two years"

If the UK wanted transition to Dec 31 2021, that would be two years, nine months. Also inadequate. /3

Delia here decided to talk about her #brexit regret first thing Christmas morning. She sets out her reasons for her #leave vote in a number of tweets which I will thread below. All good reasons but now wants to #Remain - reason 1 ⬇️ #FBPE #stopbrexit
The good thing that Delia has done is being brave in coming forward on such a divisive issue. She has joined so many that are coming forward in saying she is a #remainernow - here ⬇️ is reason 2 for her original vote.
As Delia says here ⬇️ as someone who works in & cares about the #nhs she wanted to give it £££ (completely understandable) but like others she wasn’t aware this promise would not be honoured nor was she aware of the complexities like the Irish border!

#Brexit as a concept is increasingly drifting from having anything whatsoever to do with the mechanics of leaving the EU. It is now primarily a culture war and both sides will totally ignore the details except for when they are temporarily convenient.
The consequence of this is that our future relationship with the EU will be just as readily ignored as our activities as a member. They said Brexit would make us isolated, self absorbed and insular but it seems that was always the case and there are no signs of that changing.
As ever the details will be delegated to officials and civil servants while our establishment politics drifts further into its cycle of decline, unable to usefully influence external events making us entirely passive and reactive to events rather than self-interestedly engaged.
