Opening question.
What does a good Brexit look like?
Lord Hestltine: "One where the decision to leave is overturned by the government and it doesn't happen."

I got to ask a question!
May possibly have lost my temper a bit with Richard Tice from Leave Means Leave.
Proper snake oil salesman that one.
Lord Heseltine is a star though.
Anand Menon knows his stuff but isn't very stuffy for a Prof. @JamesMcGrory from Open Britain was cool
*Heseltine, obv. Trying to type & watch & listen without my glasses on.
Particularly enjoyed @anandMenon1's point about the difference between the reliability of long & short-term economic forecasting.
He trusts climate scientists but doesn't usually expect the weather forecast on the telly to be right every time.
Lord Heseltine had a number of excellent points & gave a very frank summary of the recklessness of Brexit at the end.
For 2000 yrs in Europe we've settled disputes by sending our young people to die.
The EU changed this.
Now we're sacrificing their future again #PeoplesVote#OFOC

Let's look before we Leave.
We need change, but this is not the change we are looking for #LookB4WeLeave
Better safe than sorry.
Do you want this future?
It's in the hands of the People.

I miss summer already.
Crisp chill in the air.
The washing didn't dry on the line this afternoon.
The nights are drawing in.
But there's a different feeling to the usual turn of the seasons.
A dread, building these past years.
Brexit is coming & it will break #OurNHS #StopBrexit
Why aren't more People helping to #SaveOurNHS?
Vote Leave's campaign was about giving tons of much-needed money to the NHS.
That's not going to happen.
In fact #OurNHS representatives say Brexit will break it
Let's check (democratically!) that enough of us want that eh? #FinalSay
I'm grateful to everyone who signed up, but it made no difference & I nearly gave up.
Rumble strips are a godsend.
I'm OK but I must fight those feelings of helplessness every single day. #BrexitIsPersonal
Then there was another #FinalSay petition on @HocPetitions petition that, despite @DExEUgov trying to reject it, went to (great) debate in December 2017.
Brexit won't just hit the UK.
Many of the places it will affect the worst did not choose it.
I get Brexiters don't care about me, but is everyone really OK with the fact that this will seriously impact on all our neighbours too?
We're not just shitting our own bed in protest here
I'm supposed to be in #AltUK for a couple of weeks.
I'm losing my hope along with my sleep and my sight.
Quite exhausted.
Much love to @spaceangel1964 who I met at the start when we were all shell-shocked staggering sucker-punched & has fought so hard to put the brakes on Brexit
@spaceangel1964 Bannon is Brexit
Trump is Brexit
Putin is Brexit
Johnson is Brexit
Farage is Brexit
Banks is Brexit
Rees-Mogg is Brexit
Just met this cute little one in the bathroom. Have installed it in the shed because, rats aside, I am a softy for Nature.
Its offspring will worship me as a God.
(Or maybe it will be dead from shock before dawn)
(Should probably explain that this is the downstairs toilet which is a glorified drafty outhouse)
Opened my back door to put out some recycling & it was sat there waiting to come back in the house.
Told it very gently to get back to the shed. Wouldn't budge.
Sat down. Stroked its head. Didn't move. Picked it up & took it back to the shed.
Quite freaked out by friendly mouse.
Is there an official list of all the times the Leave campaign lied cheated / broke the law? It's a busy day but I could have a go at this as I get time... (thread) #CrookedVoteLeave
