1. Right, for those of you who are interested, the lovely @catherinemep has asked me to speak at an 'Exit from Brexit/Voices from Europe' event on Saturday night in Brighton. #libdemsConference #LDConf #LDConf2018 #PeoplesVote
2. It's at 20:15 and other speakers include @Femi_Sorry @mikegalsworthy (both of whom I'm excited about finally getting to meet) as well as @tilly_mcauliffe and @timmydooley
3. Please come along: we'll be making the positive, emotional case for staying in the EU and why we need to step up the campaign for a #PeoplesVote

1. Hi there @theresa_may @DominicRaab @daviddavismp 😀

It's Laura from @BritishInEurope.

Yes, yes unfortunately we DO still exist.

We need to talk about #Brexit and my life & that of my husband & son.
2. I'd like to discuss how your deal helps my family carry on our lives as normal after Brexit.
3. I'd also like to talk to @theresa_may and @DominicRaab about @nickynoo007 and @GuitarMoog and @fjgodfrey and @BrexpatsHOV

.@britishineurope PRESS STATEMENT: 'Disgraceful and unacceptable'.

Read our full response to Theresa May's press statement on EU citizens' rights which made no mention of the 1.2 mn British nationals living in the EU 27

…tattafiles.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/tnt20199/_cOfm…

#TheresaMay #NoDealBrexit .
2. 'We heard that we are now at an impasse in the negotiations with the very real threat of a no deal. What we did not hear was one single word about the future of 1.2 million UK nationals living in the EU27.'
3. 'You appear willing to take the UK out of the EU with a no deal and with no thought for your own nationals'

1. Spent Saturday night in Metz which, given its location in Lorraine has been fought over by France and Germany for hundreds of years.
2. In 2017 it voted overwhelmingly for Macron, which is not surprising given it's a European hub that sits just under Luxembourg as well as a stone's throw from Germany.
3. Metz Cathedral is beautiful and has the largest church stained glass collections in the world. Chagall designed some at one point.

1. We get this Brexiter fairytale A LOT: why has the big bad EU decided not to give poor little @BritishInEurope free movement? Isn't the big bad EU really mean and despicable? And who would want to live in such a place where the big bad EU would do such a thing? #PeoplesVote
2. Well, kiddies, lean in & I'll tell you the real story. The big bad EU wasn't always big & bad. Actually, it was really quite reasonable (if a bit inflexible at times) & understood that 4.6mn people's lives were at stake in the Brexit talks & that it had a duty to protect them
3. So the EU decided to make the Wicked Witch Theresa an offer that it thought she couldn't refuse: full protection for @BritishInEurope (including FoM) in exchange for full protection of rights for the @The3Million little EU piggies in the UK.

1. Some numbers from France on why the @EuropeanCommiss refusing to provide any dedicated local legal support for @britishineurope (who are still EU citizens) matters.

Particularly in the event of a #NoDealBrexit
2. There are an estimated 150,000 Brits living in France. I say estimated because France is like the UK and doesn't require EU citizens to register. Many are trying to get permanent residence (carte de sejour) in case there's no deal and therefore no agreement on #citizensrights
3. There are 5 (yes 5) FCO staff dedicated to providing consular support for the citizens' rights aspect of Brexit. That's 5 for the entire EU 27 or 1.3mn @BritishInEurope (yes I know many are taking a new nationality but it's still a tiny number of staff to help the rest).

1. Just listened to this excellent @BBC_Analysis documentary with @peterpomeranzev.

Things I've learned about effective political technology and what it says about campaigning/comms techniques which started life in...yes, you guessed it, #Russia.

#Brexit #Trump #VoteLeave
2/ Campaigns are often built around a unifying story onto which people can read/project whatever they want.

I've written about the irresponsible brilliance of 'Vote Leave Take Control' and 'Make America Great Again' as core organising stories before:

3/ Multiple messages are used to attract disparate groups of supporters who take action based on what makes them tick i.e. no command & control central messaging.
