"The EU27 cannot be expected to save Britain from its own politicians… it should be ready to compromise on timing and procedure… particularly if the Westminster deadlock looks like ending in a general election or a second referendum"https://t.co/IJ5Lw9zXZO

This idea that the EU has “bullied” Britain over #Brexit is dangerous and deluded nonsense. The EU has actually defended a red line of both UK and Europe – that the Good Friday Agreement must be upheld and a hard border avoided. https://t.co/zzur4DUOM4

Any senior politician speaking like this is unworthy to hold office. Anywhere #Brexit https://t.co/cIZJgBbLBw

Dear God in heaven.

0:54 – “There is a transition period agreed anyway, so there’s some opportunity there” – he thinks the transition period *which only exists if this WA is signed off by March* is an *extension period* to agree a WA *after March*.

This is flabbergasting. https://t.co/6gYYHAtrL4

What exactly would "a better deal" look like? Who would negotiate it? How long would that take? What if the EU continues to require the Backstop protections in the current Deal? And what if the negotiations fail to deliver this mystery deal? https://t.co/IbwYREdeiU

This is crunch time. There is no more room for pussyfooting around. The Labour leadership must now listen to members and actively oppose Brexit, or I fear we will be kept from power for a generation. pic.twitter.com/lK0ei8cod3

Excl: Brexiteers still at least 6 MPs short of triggering confidence vote in PM – 48 needed, but only 42 assurances given to ERG (25 publicly, 17 in private). And that’s only if all telling the truth…https://t.co/2KfYroAV4g

apparently they now have 42 names or maybe 24 or maybe 48 plus 12 or whatever https://t.co/ExnZBEtthd

🔥 As we’ve known for a while: Brexit was the warmup for #TrumpRussia🇷🇺. Now, new emails have surfaced that directly link Steve Bannon and Cambridge Analytica to allegedly ILLEGAL “fundraising” by #Brexit bad boy, Aaron Banks.🧐https://t.co/kGaFXNFVqQ

Happy Brexit day everyone!
Just realised..it's November 18!
And 3rd anniversary of when @arron_banks – to @realDonaldTrump's right – did 2 v special things:
1) Launched official campaign for @nigel_farage's LeaveEU
AND
2) Visited Russian embassy to discuss "gold & diamond deals" pic.twitter.com/GfkyIHmwQR

this story captures why, I suspect, Facebook's future is much darker than people realize. He tells his top execs the company is now "at war". Who are they at war with? Is "war" a posture that can work for a co based on trust/connections with friends? https://t.co/526MBVVaAu
