1/ Welcome to Monday in the independent republic of Brexitlandia
2/ Number 10 says the UK really really is behind Brexit because it’s the will of some people to make more people poorer
3/ And given all the extra work needed to make everyone of us poorer apparently we should give MPs more money 🤯
4/ No - everyone “knew what they were voting for” and it definitely was not to give MPs more money.

There was the offer of a bribe of money to the NHS but nowhere did it say “Let’s fund our evidence dodging parliamentary representatives instead”
5/ The Superdry founder has put up £1m pounds ( pre Brexit this was about a tenner) to spend on polling around a second referendum 😍
6/ Some like @SteveBakerHW are furious at this transparent use of funds. He had to be far more creative to win by resorting to breaking electoral law
7/ Who in their right mind would call for another vote
8/ Perhaps someone unclear as to what the post Brexit options could look like
9/ Perhaps someone who is disgusted at the £350m a week bribe that will not materialise
10/ Especially when the consequences of Brexit become clearer
11/ Even expenses cheat @bernardjenkin now publicly admits the risk of an M20 innovative jam is the outcome of no deal
12/ Its not obstruction @bernardjenkin - the UK is choosing to leave a frictionless trade system - it will lead to more friction. It’s not a hard concept
13/ You would have thought MPs whose constituencies would be most affected like @CharlieElphicke or “I have a right to be a wanker at work” @DamianGreen would be challenging all the chaos and pollution it would cause but no
14/ In fact instead of responding to my thread with a laser like analaysis of our position, what can be achieved and how that leaves the UK better off I get this
15/ Was it the failure to be honest, failure to call out breach of electoral law or the embarrassment of being called a coward that caused me to be blocked?

@DamianGreen blocking me won’t help you
16/ I mean I drove by the M20 recently and they are strengthening the hard shoulder

#brexitdividend

17/ Fear not good people, common man, battler against the elite, British bulldog who never runs away even after winning a referendum @Nigel_Farage is back to tell us what Brexit means apparently
18/ But Nige will soon be out of a job so needs to keep his media presence high so he can get all the TV money but without having to actually deliver anything.
19/ If it does not work out for him, at least we have record employment so he can become a fruit picker

1/ A few years ago I saw a job advert and thought that looks exciting.

My current job is very good but I find my boss a bit annoying. And maybe I can earn a bit more and become the boss at the new place
2/ So I contacted the recruiter who told me this is my dream job, great pay, more control, better work/ life balance.
3/ Sounds good I thought so I went for an interview and my prospective told me the same as the recruiter.

1/ FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT MUST END. WE NEED TO CONTROL OUR BORDERS. WE NEED TO LEAVE THE EU
2/ That was one of the core arguments for leaving the EU and has been one of the core redlines set by @theresa_may in approach to the Brexit negotiations
3/ And what a monumental waste of time, energy and goodwill that redline has been. Why so? Surely it is great that EU citizens will have their rights guaranteed?

Well it is, but let's back up a minute

1/ @DamianGreen and @CharlieElphicke - who is worse?

TLDR: they are both ineffective cowards
3/ The M20 is not a lorry park. It’s a vital transport artery. Currently work is being undertaken to strengthen the hard shoulder for 13 miles because it could be a lorry park come March
