Lord Frost to head to Brussels today for 48 hours of "intensive" talks with his Brussels counterpart Michel Barnier in a last ditch bid to stop the UK leaving EU jurisdiction without a trade deal on Dec 31.

The Sunday Telegraph says more about Brexit than intended: the ‘fly by the seat of the pants’ approach of the Bulingdon Boys was never going to cut it with an EU that demands detail. They are hoist on the petard of their own hubris and incompetence. pic.twitter.com/8S2MaAdly0

I had a phone call with @BorisJohnson on the EU-UK negotiations.

Differences remain. No agreement feasible if these are not resolved. Chief negotiators will reconvene tomorrow. We will speak again on Monday. https://t.co/fsVtfW0HHh

2/2 Why doesn’t a bloody law-maker — @ABridgen, understand, that the UK does not ‘receive’ tariffs from other countries. Tariffs are levied on / collected from importers by HMG/HMRC, with consumers paying the price. Why didn’t @SkyNewsIsabel pick up on this? #Brexit …END

Brexit Explained
The EU – 27 different Countries have to agree before it can Pass
Britain – england decides
Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland have NO say what so Fucking Ever.
The UK is Not a Union
The EU is A Union of Countries

Surprise surprise. The “dirty methods” of the Brexit referendum have been cited as a reason for new EU laws aimed at tackling disinformation & forcing online platforms to publicly disclose the identity of people and entities funding political adverts.https://t.co/Q0hW5tnkJH

On the plus side, Rupert Murdoch & @afneil are both launching TV news channels next year so at least the British public will have a couple of antidotes to the wall-to-wall media racism, ignorance & lies that delivered Brexit.

Not sure that “Millwall fans booed taking the knee” is such a slam dunk against taking the knee as certain people seem to think.

Republican Gov. Brian Kemp reportedly refused Trump's demand for a special session to overturn Georgia's result. https://t.co/KgWI0Z8j5j

— HuffPost (@HuffPost) December 5, 2020

The President of the United States called a governor and asked him to overturn the results of a free and fair election to try and maintain power.

People. It’s a coup. Period. It may not work, but it doesn’t change the fact or that an entire party is just fine with this madness.

This alone is an impeachable offense. He has no respect for democracy. Pathetic.

We need to start understanding that these are quite literally crimes. If you call up the vote counter and tell him to change the numbers or throw away a bunch of ballots, that’s a crime. The person saying no doesn’t make it not a crime. https://t.co/Q4a5ZCtaaB
