BREXITSHAMBLES BRITAIN
Dominic Raab: Making the UK follow EU rules after trade deal ‘just ain’t happening’
That means a brutally hard Brexit – the UK turned into a gateway to nowhere that has to slash taxes and regulations to attract businesses & investment. A Brexit tax haven. https://t.co/EhFQf2OH4T

The rule for #Brexit talks from now on: it’s *always* easier for 🇬🇧 to just blame 🇪🇺 for anything and everything, whether justified or not, than it is to face up to the costs and trade offs inherent in Brexit.
This will determine everything 🇬🇧 says and does.

As ever, the inimitably brilliant @fotoole identifies Brexit as a kind of kinky sexual deviance. Very hard to argue with that.
And now of course all we are left with is an unsightly, deflating, shrivelled detumescence.https://t.co/AssiCDIOg8

It's always about the war isn't it?

Missing the irony that the EU project was created to prevent another such war.#BrexitDay pic.twitter.com/u7A7KpWVIe— Slough for Europe 🇪🇺 💙 🇺🇦 (@SloughForEU) February 2, 2020

Trump voters in 2016 said they wanted *respect*. For three years they celebrated a moral trash fire of a human being – and cannot understand why they are still not respected. If Trump wins in 2020, they'll be even more furious… because they know that respect is never coming. /1
