Here's the truth about Brexit, the "punishment" that some people claim the EU wants to inflict on us, consequences of "no deal", and dangers of a possible transition period. Buckle in, it's quite long. Better to be thorough than leave stuff out! 1/25

The EU isn't punishing the UK for Brexit. We're punishing ourselves. Losing all the benefits of EU membership IS punishment, in the same way as no longer being able to use the fitness equipment, weights or other facilities is punishment for quitting the local gym. 2/25
If you cancel your gym membership, you might well put on weight. But you wouldn't then turn around and say "Hey, the gym punished me for leaving by making me fat!" That would be absurd because it's the consequence of losing your gym membership, not the fault of the gym. 3/25
Great @SophyRidgeSky show live from conservative conference - @BrandonLewis says he’s not preparing for a snap General Election next one is 2022 - currently preparing for 2019 locals... 
Ruth Davidson leader lays into Boris Johnson: says its “strange” BJ was “praising what PM brought home last December”... was sitting round Cabinet now says he was deceived... “I knew what was being said around Cabinet table in Dec not quite short re how former Foreign Sec didn’t”
David Davis doesn’t repeat Boris Johnson’s critique of the PM’s Chequers plan as “deranged” says instead “it’s wrong” if it was done “the Europe issue would not go away, the toothache we’ve had for 30 years would still be there for another 20 years” #Ridge

The EU isn't punishing the UK for Brexit. We are punishing ourselves. Losing all the benefits of EU membership IS punishment. Just like no longer being able to use the fitness equipment or the weights is punishment for quitting the local gym. 2/19
