Given the almost complete silence of @Nigel_Farage on the baleful effects of Brexit, I almost believe that he didn't really care about it at all and it was just an issue from which he could gain notoriety and make money.
‘Brexit deal never made sense’ says man who negotiated it, signed it, prevented MPs from scrutinising it, campaigned for it and won a general election on the back of it:
To vote against proper scrutiny of a bill & then to vote for that bill & then to complain about not having understood that bill is Iain Duncan Smith level stupid.
So in 2016, despite having no detail on what Brexit meant, people knew exactly what they were voting for. But in 2019, despite having a detailed Withdrawal Agreement, MPs didn't know what they were voting for.
The loss of free movement is a tragedy. The triumph of the closed minded. A rejection of the freedom of the individual in favour of the powers of the state.
NEW with @AndyBounds, @sarahnev & @Laura_K_Hughes:
The UK government’s published numbers of new cases at local authority level only include pillar 1 and *not* pillar 2 cases, meaning as many as 90% of new cases are missing from the data

It appears as though the NHS student nurses who bravely stepped up, 6 months before graduating, to help staff the pandemic have now been hung out to dry.
Surely their contracts haven’t been cancelled? Clarification needed ASAP please, @NHSEmployers@MattHancock @NHS_HealthEdEng
