Theresa May is talking to #Merkel today, tomorrow she'll be at #MSC2018. I had a look at #Brexit coverage in Germany this week in preparation.
/1
Boris Johnson's speech wasn't very well received in Germany. @welt called it: Boris Johnson's dishonest message of love on Valentine's Day /2
Also not excited: @handelsblatt

"He fabulated too much about organic carrots and waterslide testers to be perceived as a serious politican." Ouch. /3

Definitely not amused: @DeutscheWelle

"In the end, all that is left from the grandmaster of empty promises is idle talk. Everything will be fine? You shouldn't believe that if Boris Johnson is the messenger." /4
Then we have the FAZ @faznet commenting on the state of #Brexit #BrexitShambles

"Britain has no plan for Brexit." /5

As an additional service, they explain how that works with international free trade.

"The key to free trade in the modern world is relinquishing part of one's autonomy and the will to cooperate." /6
And last but not least is the statement of the head of the BDI, German's industry association, Joachim Lang.

"Obviously, the British government has lost all sense of time." /end

Ich war gestern auf einer Einbürgerungszeremonie. Jede/r Neubürger/in konnte ein paar Wort sagen, warum sie Deutsche geworden sind. Es war lustig, rührend und insgesamt fantastisch. Ein paar Beispiele:
Da war die Uigurin, die wegen der Meinungsfreiheit nach Deutschland gekommen ist und glücklich darüber war, am 70sten Jahrestag der Erklärung der Menschenrechte die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft zu erhalten.

Der 80-Jährige, der vor 60 Jahren mit nur einem Koffer aus der Türkei nach Deutschland kam, um "ein bisschen Knete zu machen und dann wieder abzuhauen". Der feststellte, dass seine Familie mittlerweile 15-köpfig ist und er der einzige "Fremde" - und darum jetzt Deutscher wurde.

Brexit is like the appendix telling the other organs its leaving to forge a brighter, better life. "Stop holding me back" it screams as it leaves. No matter what the other organs do or say, the appendix is adamant the deal it can make with some hungry vultures is better. #Brexit
"I don't need any of you, haven't you heard how good life is after removing yourself from a symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationship that you never took notice of but took fully for granted can be?"
"Sitting here twiddling my thumbs, looking at you all, mocking you, what do you offer me! Nothing! I look out of my tiny window and see the brown flow by, trying to come over here, not really effecting me at all ever, being dealt with somewhere else. I'm sick of it!"

#Brexit Thread: a list of 20 random reasons why I voted to leave the EU

1. The impossibility of meaningful treaty reform. We cannot edit the supranationalist DNA of the EU
2. The exclusion of the public from decisions relating to further integration. See Treaty of Lisbon.
3. The way in which the EU will seek homogenisation and integration for its own sake and for that of EU ideology over practical necessity.

#Brexit
1) Thread - All Brexits are bad and what we voted for
It's often said by brexiters that "it's not all about economics"
However, the *actual* Leave campaign was almost wholly about economic arguments

With the leak of this 2-8% report those arguments are now trashed
2) We seem to have forgotten this however economics played a huge part in the Vote Leave campaign, making up over 2/3rds of the primary arguements. The clear message was we would at the least be no worse off and at best much better off. 4 of the 6 below state this clearly
3) & the fact is voters believed we would be no worse off. People prioritized immigration certainly, but against a backdrop of there being no consequences from Brexit - few are prepared to actually pay for ending FoM

(3) Oh noes! He held the glass with both hands again! Probably because he unconsciously worries about spilling some, like I do. We're neat freaks and germaphobes, stop judging us!😎

Theresa May, to quote a Tory peer to me, is the "mummified corpse" of a Prime Minister. For #Brexit this is a problem 1/
Europe would rather have May than Boris or other blue-sky Brexiteer to negotiate with but... 2/
As thing stand they cannot trust she has authority to negotiate. Boris has destroyed that by publicly undermining her. /3
