1/ We need to talk about @petenorth303.
2/ Pete is a puzzle. A brexiter who, to his credit, has been facing harsh brexit facts and publicising them. E.g.
3/ People, normal people, have been asking, horrified, “so why aren’t you against it”?
4/ He responded with this:
5/ And also this:

6/ I felt pretty disgusted with that. But then @CityLiveryConsulting dug up North’s deleted tweet:

7/ I realised then what @petenorth303’s “but I still want brexit because we’re spoiled” reminds me of. He sounds a high school shooter.
8/ It’s not his social deficit, it’s his lack of empathy. Coupled with the lack of insight into his own condition.
9/ But isn’t this - #brexit, Trump, all about people who lack empathy? Isn’t that the divide?
10/ Rees-Mogg is educated but to him, like Harry Lime in The Third Man, we’re like ants and it doesn’t matter if some of us are rubbed out.
11/ Some fear it is more than lack of empathy. I know of psychologists who consider that lead #brexiters display clear signs of psychopathy.
12/ The lead #brexiters look like psychopaths to me. They are deliberate and calculated liars, glib, plausible and manipulative psychopaths.
13/ @Petenorth303 isn’t that. But he is a high school shooter.

I'm not convinced, though. Sir Ivan Rogers' narrow economic arguments aren't touching on the reasons why so many of us - perhaps a minority, but if so a very large minority - want to remain.
Sir Ivan doesn't examine his basic assumption - that the one and only red line that must be followed, come what may, is to end freedom of movement of people.
Sir Ivan talks about the burning desire of many for "sovereignty" and although he seems to empathise with this craving, explains gently and kindly why it's not an option in the real world.

A political mandate is written on water. It exists only because we believe it exists. Only if enough of us believe it. Once enough of us stop believing in it, it's gone. Ceases to exist.
Look at the 5-year parliament rule. A snap general election was generally agreed to be impossible - until, suddenly, it wasn't. The brexit mandate is like this. One day it will just be - gone.
The disaster-brexiters know this very well and fear it, which is why their strategy is to agree to anything at all as long as it gets us over that line.

1. It's been suggested that this 58 brexit report business might be the "Iraq Blair moment". (Short, scaremongering thread follows).
2. Excellent threads by @DavidLammy, @IanDunt, @davidallengreen and no doubt others prove that the government's Brexit reports exist - somewhere.
3. The government, Secretary of State @DavidDavisMP was ordered by Parliament to hand them over to the Brexit Parliamentary select committee. He agreed to do so.
