1/ Welcome to Wednesday in the independent republic of Brexitlandia
2/ Today Cretinus Maximus @DavidDavisMP appears before the Brexit select committee 🙈
3/ I imagine one question will be as to why the impact assessments have as much depth as an After Eight Mint and perhaps also whether there is a deliberate attempt to produce anything to avoid blame when there is a future inquiry 😡
4/ No doubt Cretinus Maximus will make clear to @SeemaMalhotra1 and @hilarybennmp that the will of the people is final and there must be no evidence led decision making any more because otherwise they may take away his Brexit jet ✈️
5/ taking away the jet would be a fatal plan for Cretinus Maximus escape route if (🤣🤣🤣) Brexit goes wrong. If he had read the report from the CAA he would
know if Brexit goes wrong flights will be mostly grounded anyway on Brexit day 🚦
6/ Still at least he could use Eurostar (soon to be Getlink (reserved for traitors being sent to the EU under the "Go European Traitors" scheme - hence Getlink)). Oh no he can't - sorry. There will be no more FOM 😳
7/ Back to the committee we will also learn why the UK is not aligned on the meaning of alignment 🤔
8/ Cretinus Maximus will also try to explain the difference between alignment, no divergence, equivalence, recognition and harmonisation using a packet of Revels 🍫
9/ Wry observers also noted the HOC and HOL (in an anonymous vote) voted "how to stop Brexit" by Nick Clegg as book of the year 😱😡😤🤔

1/ Thank you Parliament for your handling of Brexit
2/ Thank you for organising an advisory referendum that you made binding and which failed to consider what happens if different parts of the UK voted leave or remain
3/ Thank for ignoring the multiple breaches of electoral law related to the referendum

1/ @nigel_farage the AG is literally making clear the UK was and remains sovereign
2/
“The Advocate General emphasises that withdrawal from an international treaty, which is the reverse of a treaty-making power, is by definition a unilateral act of a State party and a manifestation of its sovereignty.”
3/ “Unilateral revocation would also be a manifestation of the sovereignty of the departing Member State, which chooses to reverse its initial decision.”

@NickBoles with all due respect this is what GOV should have worked up before triggering article 50 and asked Parliament to support as a pragmatic compromise.

But no. And now the PM champions ending FOM - FOM would need to be (and should be) a key part of your plan.
But GOV refused to build consensus, stoked division with its “citizen of nowhere”, “bargaining chip”, “queue jumper” rhetoric, lies about the cost of Brexit and ignores breaches of electoral law
I think we should remain in the EU but would have accepted your proposal if that had been on the table from 24 June 2016. A pragmatic compromise.

Indeed your plan should have been the minimum baseline for the UK

I welcome your efforts to find a solution but...

Before the #Brexit referendum, a lot of us were saying two things:

Firstly, that if the vote went Leave, all the government's focus would be on Brexit to the detriment of everything else.

Well, turns out we were right about that.
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
We've got Tories blaming Sadiq Khan and Sadiq Khan blaming the Tory government and, all the while, the government is so fixated on moronic Brexit that they do nothing and people (especially in #London) and being killed at an alarming rate.
Secondly, we said that it would release a wave of suppressed anti-foreigner sentiment.

Well, lo and behold, the rates of racist incidents, particularly but not solely against eastern Europeans has sky rocketed.

I’m a @UKLabour member living in London. I’m an ex-candidate. I would love to hear @johnmcdonnellMP speak with Jenny Manson tomorrow but my ticket has just been cancelled by Jenny’s team.
I’d love to know why.
I’d guess it’s because I’m the wrong type of Jew, a Zionist.
Here’s the cancellation notice. No explanation.
This is how the event appears currently on @eventbrite so it’s going ahead, just without Jews in attendance.

Of course it’s ok for press to be accredited but oddly they’re not accrediting Jewish press or Jewish journalists.

So the #Brexit folks (@danarohrabacher's friend, Farage, and Wigmore) were doing the exact same thing that the Trump fam and surrounding #MAGAs were doing. Not surprised one bit. No doubt the real story is much worse. (Murdoch owns The Times.)

"Arron Banks, the millionaire businessman who helped fund Brexit, had three meetings with the RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR 🇷🇺 to Britain — raising explosive questions about attempts by Moscow to influence the referendum result."

Thread: For our family business, there's no doubt #Brexit will have an impact - the question is how bad it will be. Meanwhile, the chaos surrounding Brexit leaves us in limbo, unable to continue the expansion which has helped us create jobs and aid other firms. @fascinatorfun
1. We sell cosmetic supplies and ingredients to home users and other SMEs - 66% of our sales are to customers in the EU. We rely on frictionless trade to get goods to these customers cheaply and quickly.
2. We sell to thousands of producers of soaps and cosmetics. The most obvious and possibly most pressing issue is the inevitable increase in cost and complexity of trade without access to the customs union and single market.

The EU has 759 treaties with 160 non-EU countries. What to do about these treaties has been known to be a headache since before the #Brexit referendum. (1/15)
The FT did excellent work back in May 2017 to list them all, and the areas they cover. FT piece: app.ft.com/content/f1435a… (2/15)
This is especially pressing as a solution for this issue is needed before the #Brexit transition period starts. The plan is transition happens with the UK legally out of the EU, so has to have its own legal relationship with non-EU countries. (3/15)

Thread: at 09:30 @CommonsEUexit meeting to discuss redacted and edited Brexit economic impact assessments. Is Govnt in contempt of Parliament? Did the Govnt mislead Parliament and the public? Did the reports ever exist in the first place? Let's look at the evidence (1)
(2) In August 2017 then Brexit Minister David Jones confirmed that @DExEUgov had "conducted analysis of over 50 sectors of the economy. Spokesman confirmed that a list of the sectors would be published, but not the analyses themselves. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
(3) So I started asking questions of @DavidDavisMP and @DExEUgov. On 13 September Brexit Minister @WalkerWorcester refused to acknowledge such analyses existed, and refused to publish them. Same story on 12 October when @SteveBakerHW answered.
