1/ Welcome to Tuesday in the independent republic of Brexitlandia
2/ In a nutshell the delivery of Brexit is great steaming piles of 💩being flung at a fan every day with no one in power being able to stop the fan or themselves from flinging 💩at the fan
3/ Basically NO progress has been made because the Brexiters realise their plans are not plans but aspirational 💩being flung all over the place
4/ The necessary legislation needed has ground to a halt because the Government does not like Brexit being about returning sovereignty to Parliament which is funny except it is not
5/ @theresa_may now promises a white paper on Brexit. Which is funny because we already had one those. I think this one sets out the type of cherry cake the UK wants and maybe just maybe should have been published before triggering a 2 year clock
6/ Meanwhile the EU has published what it wants from a deal with the UK. They have kept it to one slide because if it has any more detail @DavidDavisMP loses interest
7/ But remember being out is not the same as being in. Out means out. Foreigners speaking in English say what they mean unlike English people who say the opposite of what they mean
8/ The Cabinet should listen carefully rather than arguing over which prooosal they want the EU to reject
9/ Any Cabinet Members who read tweet 8 should read tweet 9 just to be sure
10/ Meanwhile who remembers the Falklands. Well they are fucked unless they join Mercosur which was not on the ballot. Did the Falklandislanders even get a vote?
11/ Meanwhile business gets in with protecting itself. Which is fair enough . Weird how so many firms are shifting business when we were told the UK HOLDS ALL THE CARDS
12/ Meanwhile @CharlieElphicke is still shitting himself. Every day he screams on Twitter we must be ready from day 1. Except we won’t be. Charlie will soon live in a lorry park
13/ Meanwhile people who have jobs that rely on integrated supply chains are potentially fucked. Still will of the people eh?
14/ @bernardjenkin blames everyone but himself - I mean he only had 40 years to work out a plan that was not based on vacuous arsenal gruel
15/ I am being unkind - most of the Brexiters had a plan to be like Norway but without the sense of social solidarity
16/ Norway
17/ Norway
18/ Norway
19/ Norway
20/ Norway
21/ and it was all predicated on a deal with the EU
22/ Vote Leave never said we would be worse off or that there would be no deal.
23/ There is no mandate for it. If the Brexiters wanted to be Norwegian but now realise that model is a bit shit for the UK then they have no mandate for less than Norway. Which means the choice is now between being Norway or being the UK in the EU. Time for a #peoplesvote
24/ After all if the ECJ is soooo awful, what happens if we had no deal and then rely on WTO rules and lose a WTO dispute? Presumably we will have a vote to see who gets to start a new life on Uranus
