No Party politics, it's all about #stopbrexit. Many RTs for info only.

When you feel like giving up because winning this seems impossible just remember this:
The EU was born as a project to promote & maintain peace; a construct of co-operation to ensure that the force of law is always superior to the law of force. They won't win. #StopBrexit

What is the ESF? Why isn’t the UK Gov doing this?

The United Kingdom is using the European Social Fund (ESF) to reduce inactivity among young people and the long-term unemployed and to improve training

#OTD 1858. Charles Darwin publishes his theory of evolution through natural selection.

We have all seen how Brexit has evolved from easiest deal and sunny uplands to food shortages and no planes at Heathrow for 2 months.

In a world where key decisions are being made on the basis of slogans, and where truth is treated as an awkward inconvenience, a QC explains that WTO will provide no easy solution after what is now being called a clean Brexit https://t.co/N9N3eLBcKc

This story is behind a paywall, but the intro is interesting - Nigel Oakes who founded SCL, the parent of Cambridge Analytica is trying to distance himself from CA and said that he operated for years “without much of an ethical radar” /1

@DmitryOpines This is a bit misleading. On FTAs – rollover is only possible under transition period. Since you’re writing about no-deal preparations this is not the case. No-deal means UK loses access to all FTAs on Brexit day next March. There is no rollover under no-deal. /1

Poll: Our party political system is tribal and rigid, and blocks the rational, cooperative and flexible politics that is needed in the modern world.

Risk of a no-deal Brexit matters for European bank bonds https://t.co/ms5rtf5gvc

So now I’m being told that despite the fact pretty much everyone agrees that Brexit will destroy the NHS, tank the economy for 50 years and lead to complete societal meltdown, we HAVE to do it because if we don’t, Europhobes will piss & moan.

Wow.

Imagine that.

[Elaine Blackledge #SuspendA50 #FBPE @lanieleaf]

@LordRickettsP And they've already replaced our economy with a larger & more populous one - Japan. Then there's Canada, with NZ, Aus & Mercosur to come. So much for 'they need us' etc.

[Peter Ricketts @LordRickettsP]

Also important not to lose sight of reality in brandishing threats of no-deal. EU 27 have a larger population and GDP than USA. It’s them not us that have the 54 free trade deals, the air services agreements etc. The EU will take #Brexit in their stride. The impact will be on us.

@OliverNorgrove @SamuelMarcLowe @rjbarfield1 Aren't lorry drivers providing a service which may not be within any treaty?

[Sam Lowe @SamuelMarcLowe]

So my working hypothesis on Brexit's impact on EU-UK services trade is that, outside SM, main impact = much more difficult to sell cross border from UK territory into EU.

So in nerd speak, mode one supply of services becomes significantly more constrained.

The British people all 65m of us actually are represented by parliament. Parliament didn’t decide to leave, the PM did.

No impact assessment or due diligence she based it on a flawed frauderendum full of lies.

The British people should vote on the deal.
