@SW_Help Stuck in London. All your managers disappeared leaving frontline staff to do their best on their own. Dreadful. And to be precise at 2215 we were told to “get as close as possible to our destination” as no trains running to Bournemouth.
@British_Airways Cancelled our GVA flight back yesterday, rescheduled us today with no explanation, then “operational reasons” cancelled our rebooked return, so we’re stranded again. Surely you knew the situation last night BA.

This is such a good thread by @redhistorian, which neatly skewers the entire Brexit mess. (FWIW I've tried to express similar ideas about how lies can't be turned into policy, or what happens when they are, for years - but this is much more succinct).
6. Why does this matter? When govts promise one thing & deliver another, they corrode trust in politics. When they blame others for their own choices, they poison our relations with other powers. And by concealing real policy dilemmas, they stifle debate on how to make them work.
