The Sunday Telegraph says more about Brexit than intended: the âfly by the seat of the pantsâ 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

2/2 Why doesnât a bloody law-maker â @ABridgen, understand, that the UK does not âreceiveâ tariffs from other countries. Tariffs are levied on / collected from importers by HMG/HMRC, with consumers paying the price. Why didnât @SkyNewsIsabel pick up on this? #Brexit âŠEND

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 âdirty methodsâ 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

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, thatâs a crime. The person saying no doesnât make it not a crime. https://t.co/Q4a5ZCtaaB
