The politicians and political commentators that YOU trust, have told you that all the bad news you hear about Brexit is just #ProjectFear.
Just imagine for a second that when Brexit actually happens, you find out they were wrong. How will history look at you? How will your kids?
Most people on both sides weren't experts in EU law.
Did you get your information directly from EU Treaties and resulting legislation, or did you trust the articles and opinions of others?
Remainers and Leavers just trusted different sources.
However, Brexit voters, if it actually happens and we start to see the full economic and international effects of Brexit, you're going to have to explain, especially to your kids, why you ignored the warnings from actual experts in the field before voting. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
And then why you ignored things getting worse after the vote.

And then why you ignored the warnings that things would get even worse if Brexit actually happened. independent.co.uk/news/business/…
And finally why you didn't lift a finger to save the generations that tried to avoid all these things and begged you to help them...

We know the EU isn't perfect. Out of our 4 co-founders: Will voted Leave and Femi has literally worked for a group called Alter-EU.
But here's why, on balance, being in the EU is better for you.
You need stuff to be as cheap as possible. Well for the UK as a country, the rest of Europe is our local supermarket. It's cheaper and faster for us to get stuff from there. Being in the EU makes it even cheaper and even faster. So your prices stay low.
You have the right to live in any country you like across the EU. So if there aren't jobs in the UK, you can go work in a hotel in France or an office in Austria. No elitist visa system. As long as you find a job in 3months and register, 31 countries are yours to choose from.

Where did the "Good" pro-Brexit information come from?
(Thread)
?
The man who doesn't believe in experts and exaggerated the effect of the EU on his dad's business for political gain?

The Official @Vote_Leave?
Their Campaign Leader, @DanielJHannan, promised we'd be staying in the Single Market.

Dear Brexiters,
The young people of the United Kingdom have a few words to say about Brexit Britain.
Starting with @Femi_Sorry.
#OFOC
Charlie from Doncaster is one of the 73% of 18-24 year-olds who voted to Remain in the EU.
She represents the adult demographic of the UK that would be most affected by Brexit.
#OFOC @turtle_in_a_fez
The 'Young' includes Brits in their 40s, 52% of whom voted for their country to remain in the EU. These are people who will have to raise their children in a version of the UK that they voted to avoid.

1/ If you don’t follow Brexit every day, here’s some advice. Let go of any illusions that this drama is about trade protocols, residency rights or the status of the Irish border. Brexit is the story of a proud former imperial power undergoing a mid-life crisis
2/ The rest of the world is left listening to Britain’s therapy session as they drone on about their ex-spouse, unable to see, admit or address their own flaws.
3/ The promise of Brexit was that it would make Britain feel big again. “Britain is special,” the Brexiteers assured British voters, who cast their ballots accordingly. But Brexit has proven that for the first time in modern history, Britain is small.

Morning campers, I’ll be live tweeting from the UK parliamentary hearing into @Facebook, misinformation and fake news today. Here’s what you need to know:
Lawmakers from nine countries are here in London to gripe about why Zuckerberg didn’t show up to speak to them. Expect a lot of that, plus Richard Allan, FB’s VP of “policy solutions,” to do a lot of apologizing
Nominally, this hearing is tied to @DamianCollins’ ongoing “fake news” investigation, which has led UK officials traveling to the US for hearings (on taxpayers £). But to be clear, they have no power to actually legislate

1) #Brexit, what does democracy actually mean & @jeremycorbyn - thread

There's a simple fact at the heart of Brexit, when enough people realise that any Brexit, no matter how soft, is worse than staying in the EU then it will die

Labour Leadership is keeping the lie alive
@jeremycorbyn 2) after all what is democracy? What does it mean? Surely the foundation is that everyone who votes must as much as possible have an informed choice.

They can ignore that information of course but the information must be clearly available to all otherwise democracy fails
@jeremycorbyn 3) the fundamental truth of Brexit is that every possible deal will leave us worse off. It's perfectly valid to know that and yet still believe that other priorities are more important, as long as everyone knows it in the first place.

1) "We can't stop #Brexit, leave voters will feel betrayed"
This is the final desperate battle cry of some leavers & indeed some former Remainers, even raising threats of violence and the rise of the far right

Reality is #Brexit, any Brexit, will be seen as a far larger betrayal
2) to prove this, just look at the months of failure in trying to get together a Brexit deal. May is struggling to even put together the basics of a deal that's widely acceptable even to MPs who now support Brexit.

Picture what happens when Brexit actually kicks in
3) the DUP, the ERG, the Government themselves, the EU & the Labour party, all support or at least accept Brexit as a political reality if not openly support it.

But even this group cannot get to a sensible Brexit offering

the last week's Parliamentary #brexit proceedings are called "ping pong" instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainers/par… - but they actually look more like a grand slam tennis match.
spectators want an exciting five-setter... think Federer v Nadal in Wimbledon 2008 - and many are hoping for an upset in which the underdog wins
but what actually happens is that the challenger has a good first set.. makes the defending champion a bit uncomfortable -- and some think that maybe this time they are going to lose..

I'm currently at this #Brexit conference in Copenhagen, where the British ambassador and several #DExEU officials will be on panels with representatives of Danish trade and security. It'll be very interesting to see what's said, especially in light of May's recent Munich speech.
And now that I'm not desperately trying to keep up with livetweeting it, I shall turn my mess of self-retweets into a proper thread. #Brexit #BrexitDK
acknowledges #Brexit will have challenges; emphasises no naïveté regarding "land of milk and honey". Refreshing sense of pragmatism; we'll see how #DExEU and DK reps present it.
