When I asked @andrealeadsom how the Conservatives would pay to cut business rates she replied "You're assuming that money comes from somewhere." Well, yes ...

An estimated £395bn is lost annually to corporate tax avoidance.

The UK, with its tax haven territory networks accounts for over a third of the world’s corporate tax avoidance - four times more than any other country.

.@BorisJohnson, what’s at stake is not winning some stupid blame game. At stake is the future of Europe and the UK as well as the security and interests of our people. You don’t want a deal, you don’t want an extension, you don’t want to revoke, quo vadis?

Blessing your timeline this morning with Brian Cox teaching Hamlet's Soliloquy to 30 month year old Theo.

So the (short version) Yellowhammer document says that Brexit will be shit and Boris' rich mates are betting 8 billion pounds on it being shit. And Brexiters still think that the EU is the enemy holding this country back? Jesus. Fucking. Wept. HELLO! BREXIT IS SHIT!

@DeborahMeaden Quite right. No deal is not a thing.... Swap the word deal for arrangements. Arrangements will have to be made at some point.

[Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦 @DeborahMeaden]

Can we all stop calling it No Deal as if it’s a deal....it’s the agreement to withdraw and then to make a deal. It goes on for years...

I doubt those dependent on medical supplies or cancer treatment will be holding street parties over this crap, but it’s worth pointing out that because of the tanked £, the increased prices won’t cover the cost of duty saved.

I voted leave in the EU referendum. But I voted wrong. After nearly 3 years it's clear that leaving isn't what's best for the UK. I wonder how many others feel this way? Probably enough to warrant a 2nd referendum. #Brexit #ukpolitics #2ndreferendum #PeoplesVote

I really do think, joking aside, that this is the best campaign slogan, for Lib Dems in election or Remain in a referendum.
