I've been quiet on twitter because I've been working on a thread. I still have some way to go, but I have just subtitled a clip of Dan Hannan which may be the single greatest act of political misdirection I've ever witnessed.
I'm not going to include the whole clip, because I want to make the point of Dan might not understand what the 'Single Market' is, or he is lying, and the whole clip removes that ambiguity.
Watch out for the new thread (hopefully next week) and I'll try to remember to post a link to the whole video so everyone can watch in horror as he invents a new Single market, refers to the real SM, introduces a seemingly new market, and then says we aren't leaving the SM/ttfn

1. Lord Bamford sent this letter to the Telegraph last year suggesting that businesses will adapt to trading on WTO term.

It has left me with a single question.
2. First off, he says that he took over from his father in 1975.

At 30 years old, without experience in any other type of company, Lord Anthony Bamford became chairman and managing director of JCB.
3. In that time he has he has taken JCB from a one-factory operation to a global business with 22 plants around the world employing over 15,000 people making over 300 different products.

I’m sick of politicians simultaneously saying ‘no deal’ is fine, and how great trade deals around the world will be, so how about we start to go into the nitty-gritty of how this all works so people can understand the mechanics for themselves?
In days gone by, any country with a number of bilateral deals that gave preferential access to certain sectors would be considered to be adequately equipped, but times have changed.
Any country with a reasonably large economy would seem outmoded with such a trade policy today, and those who continue to buck the trend are becoming ever more economically isolated.

I'm going to try and find the time to do my "Yes we were definitely told about Political Union", but it's become a bit like shooting fish in a barrel recently.
I mean, who can watch that clip and still believe this was a secret?

Then there is: "We were told it was just a Common Market"

You weren't...you really weren't. I don't care how you remember it.
"We weren't told there would be a loss of Sovereignty" - Really?

Here is Enoch Powell explaining that "of course" there is a loss to parliamentary Sovereignty because it is merged, and that the people advocating joining are the ones who are emphasising this fact more....

Is it harder today than 5 yrs ago for startups in Nairobi?

Then you could walk into ihub or Nailab with only an idea, you didn't have to pay for a hot desk, it resulted in companies like Wezatele, sematime, eneza, etc.

Not to mention, you found a ready willing mentor.

Every other weekend there was a Hackathon.

Hackathons help your idea grow & get validated, learn to pitch, meet other engineers, get feedback & if lucky you get some $ for OPEX.

Then some smart-a** KOTs attacked Hackathons & funders (NGO’s) got shy & stopped funding them
So corporate's stepped-in to fund that gap that NGOs left, but as usual they had self interest as businesses.

1. To protect their downside, they didn't want a 20 yr old Uni-kid surprising them & disrupting their entire business.

2. Acquire new young customers i.e banking etc

NEW: A Government is not a household - claims of ending austerity ring hollow until we do away with the household fallacy.

The single greatest masterstroke of Cam-Osb era was to undercut future progressive policy by mainstreaming the household fallacy. bit.ly/2z5aGEZ
The truth is, the household fallacy has been weaponised for purely political ends: to prevent progressive spending policy from gaining legitimacy. Its apparently instinctive logic disguises the truth– what is true for an individual household is not true for the government.
By cutting its spending the government also ends up reducing its own income. So unlike a household, government spending and income are not independent of one another - reductions in government spending when economy is under performing leads to higher debt and lower growth.

Ok. It’s time to go into Joshua’s memory box and tell his story #thread
Joshua was very much a rainbow baby 🌈 and we were so excited and over the moon when I finally made it into the second trimester. (Alex and I are both big rugby fans!)
I was working as a 1st year Registrar in A&E when I suddenly broke my waters at 24 weeks. I was transferred to Southampton @UHSFT who have a specialist level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. They were wonderful, and did everything they could to stop my labour over Father’s Day.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
