An excellent summary of the sorry state that Britain finds itself in from the NY Times.

@Rachael_Swindon genuine question: Do you think Labour can get elected without the 'centrist' vote?

[Matt Cole @Cole2Matt]

@jk_rowling what on earth does 'leaving the European Union well, perhaps brilliantly' mean? Two years since the referendum and still utterly vacuous

[Matt Cole @Cole2Matt]

@Nigel_Farage How about another boat-based protest? They always work well and make you look very statesmanlike. Genuinely. There's nothing funny about them at all.

[Matt Cole @Cole2Matt]

@Rachael_Swindon not helped by the fact that Labour can't talk about Brexit as their Brexit position is indistinguishable from that of the Tories. Just heard Tom Watson on Radio 5 and all he could do was criticise the Tories' internal divisions and lamely refer to Labour's 'job's first' Brexit

an evergreen tweet from May 2015. Thank heavens we opted for strong and stable government... https://t.co/t5EBzwYu2j

Britain faces a simple and inescapable choice - stability and strong Government with me, or chaos with Ed Miliband: https://t.co/fmhcfTunbm

@Digbylj if Brexiteers hadn't convinced themselves how easy Brexit would be ('we hold all the cards', 'easiest in history', 'queuing up', 'in the bag') then maybe they could've come up with a plan? And then maybe 2 years after the ref the govt wouldn't still be negotiating with itself.

[Matt Cole @Cole2Matt]

@davidallengreen @Digbylj wait, is he slowly starting to realise that these trade deals are not in fact 'in the bag'? Fantasy meets reality...

[Matt Cole @Cole2Matt]

@MarcusFysh Why would a company do this *because of Brexit*? What possible advantages would Brexit provide to this company that didn't exist pre-Brexit? And how could these advantages outweigh the loss of frictionless trade with the single market? It's all nonsense and you know it.

[Matt Cole @Cole2Matt]

@andreajenkyns There is an overwhelming consensus amongst economists that there is no economic case for Brexit, short-term or long-term. So if you're arguing for Brexit please be honest and do so on other grounds. It is fundamentally dishonest to argue for Brexit on economic grounds.

[Matt Cole @Cole2Matt]

@UK_Wildlife that's great Neil

[Matt Cole @Cole2Matt]

Danny Dyer's summary of Brexit is well worth a watch. The timing at the end is perfection...

it's scarcely possible to imagine a more moronic response to today's statement from Airbus than this one... https://t.co/tYDasktLto

[Nigel Farage MP @Nigel_Farage]

Hardly surprising Airbus are threatening us today when they've taken billions in EU funding. https://t.co/aEs0yJsl9u

@MarcusFysh @DominicRaab it seems you used to think the single market was quite important...
