Peaceful revolution in the UK: some personal thoughts on the need for #SystemChange and the potential for making it happen. [thread] 🤨✊🌹🇪🇺#ToryCorruption #ToryTraitors #resist #revolt #remove #JohnsonMustGo
In the wake of the #RussiaReport ⬇️ & the ongoing #COVID19 & #ToryCorruption scandals, there has been a noticeable increase in talk about protest against this obviously compromised “government”… 😠✊🌹🇪🇺 #resist #revolt #remove
For many, the flagrant corruption of the new “honours” list feels like the last straw. We can let this anger & stress gnaw at us, or we can harness it against these disgraceful crooks… 😖✊🌹🇪🇺#ToryCorruption #ToryTraitors #resist #revolt #remove

A short thread about resisting the #kleptofascist takeover, with an added last-ditch family appeal. 😐✊🌹🇪🇺 #resist #StopFascism #RuleOfLaw
When the execrable Cummings/Johnson regime launched its attack on Parliament back in August, I was horrified: this was in fact a coup against democracy. Like thousands of others, I hit the streets to protest. 😖✊🌹🇪🇺 #StopTheCoup #resist #JohnsonMustGo #RuleOfLaw
As a historian with Asperger’s & misophonia, the idea of giant crowds is truly horrifying to me, and I’d much rather be quietly writing books in the countryside… 😐✊🌹🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #autism #Aspergers #AutismStrong #resist

A scary story in three acts, plus a coda.

Act 1 - “That’s ridiculous, they can’t be serious”

Act 2 - “Oh cripes, I get it now...”

You remember #stopthecoup?

24th September - barely 2 months.
Inconceivable really, both that it could happen, and the mobsters could then stand.

Except...who'd have thought.
Turns out piracy pisses off OneNations more than anything else

Come, tour #Kensington for a fun story
They're not the normal #Tory lot here. Where the #Tory money is, normally #Brexit follows. So when they kicked out a Lady of the Manor in 2017, eyes opened.

A huge slice of the Tory base jumped ship for a #labour MP, @emmadentcoad. Tories, putting country before party? Nah??
It didn't help that the Lady MP, in London's most European borough, was the sort to cackle delight at #Brexit

Either way, we thought they'd learn. Tories aren't stupid, right?

So imagine our delight when they finally picked a PPC from...#brexitcentral. How to make friends.

.@SwapMyVote was a powerful #TacticalVoting tool in 2017 and helped to deny the Tories a majority.

#SwapMyVote #StopTheCoup
@SwapmyVote Alice lives in Town X. She’s always voted for the Red Party, but they can’t win where she lives. If she wants a progressive MP to represent her, she needs to vote Yellow, because they can win. It’s not ideal.
#TacticalVoting #SwapMyVote #StopTheCoup
@SwapmyVote Bob lives in Town Y. He’s a lifelong Yellow Party voter, but they don’t stand a chance in Town Y. The Red Party can potentially win if all progressive voters get behind them though. He’ll vote Red, although he’s not that keen.

I've written about #Brexit since 2015 #FBPE, mostly in threads to go deeper than Twitter otherwise allows.

Typically I give a pic summary, with a thread of evidence. Trust nothing without source material. Use, bookmark or share what I do - it's made for you.

Let's #StopBrexit.
The main Tread runs continuously, off links are topics.

Thread 1. "Opposing The Brexits is a Democratic Obligation".

The original 2016 Brexit is lost. And with it any democratic consent. #StoptheCoup is accurate. It is a Coup.

Thread 2. "A Return to the EEC"

So could there have been a compromise between #Remain and #Leave that left the UK better off?

This thread was the culmination of about a year's work to find one.

Not easy. Not perfect. But far far better than Boris.

To find a position that works for Remainers, delivers the 2016 will of the people and satisfies moderate leavers.

Not easy. Not Perfect. But better than Boris.

This will be a short thread on the People vs Parliament fraud because really everyone should understand how close to #Terrorism this is.

It's beyond any legitimate democratic approach. And it's encouraged by the offshore tax haven owned Brexit media

The pronouncements ERG makes from the privileged floor of the Commons on sovereignty are self serving.

As a barrister put it after the Miller 1 case pic⏬.

You may not like this and I'd agree. The problem is that Brexiters relied on this multiple times to create Brexit.
I'll go through the most important events which enabled #Brexit and show this lie.

1. 2015 EU Ref Bill (attached)
A pre-legislative consultative referendum (commonly advisory).

Why was this?

Justified because Parliament, not People is sovereign. #FBPE

Thread 1/4. The Rees-Mogg heckling Saturday looks like an inside job. Brexiters pretending to be Remain. Tory media got the story they wanted to run = the million protesting are all nasty remainers. Anyone surprised yet? A few thoughts.

#StopBrexit #StopTheCoup #mondaythoughts
2/4 It’s very out of the norm for several key government figures to leave the House on foot, especially knowing so many people are around. If you’re JRM with your son, a million people outside, why choose a walkthrough unless you expect useful coverage?
#StopTheCoup #RevokeA50
3/4 So you’d need a guarantee before you’d do it, to know in advance you’re both safe, it’s just stage-managing some fake news? And plenty of ministers have helpful press links. One obvious one, rhymes with Loathe.

I am Adam Schiff. I represent the 28th congressional district. Disney, NBC, CNN & other media mouse houses are here. I am in Nancy’s House. (I take care of her lingerie & when I’m in DC I sleep in it). In open session I paraphrased the president’s words to show his intent. Now...
...it's time to paraphrase my intent. Listen good because I’m only gonna say this once. Nancy and I are envious of the President of the United States, Donald J Trump. Nancy and I started colluding to frame the president right after the election. We are like-minded, working...
...with other like-minded mouses in our House to harm everything about the president and we will say and do anything to make that happen. Can you do me a favor and keep this secret. I like to plan and have long- game plots, then I leak to the Fake News located in my...

With the news of #JuliaHartleyBrewer appearing on @bbcquestiontime tonight, I’ve sent in my first-ever letter of complaint to the BBC. It’s brutal: (THREAD) #BoycottBBCQT
Dear BBC

I am disgusted that #JuliaHartleyBrewer is on @bbcquestiontime. I tune in to watch most weeks or catch up online, but I cannot watch tonight, out of principle.
My objection to Ms Hartley-Brewer isn’t for political reasons. She has a right to her opinion, and I respect that, even if I don’t agree with it. It’s not about Brexit either. #BoycottBBCQT

Miller vs Odey: the Brexit crisis explained through the medium of fund managers, with a bonus survey… 🤓✊ (thread) #RuleOfLaw #StopTheCoup #StopBrexit 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
Compare and contrast Gina Miller and Crispin Odey… Both are British fund managers, and both are wealthy, but their very different responses to Brexit are most illuminating. 🧐 #Brexit #StopBrexit 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
Odey was born into a wealthy family of industrialists, and was educated at Harrow & Oxford. He set up Odey Asset Management in 1991, and it now has several billion pounds under management. He was briefly married to Rupert Murdoch’s daughter. His net worth is c£775m. #StopBrexit

Brexit affects everyone and everything. Hear our #R4OR /thread

#SundayMotivation
Employers and employees- you are all on the same side on this one. You all need a healthy economy and stable political environment to thrive. The Single Market is the biggest trading bloc in the world and its cold outside believe me #R4OR #StopBrexit
The care sector is already fragile as hurt EU27 citizens have headed for the door to somewhere they are wanted. Even the government says Brexit will damage the care of our elderly and vulnerable #R4OR #StopTheCoup

Reaction to name-calling by making fun of it.....

A thread....

1/

#stopthecoup #FBPE #Dangerous
By now - the #remain groups should have an agenda to win over the 45+million undecided voters to understanding the strengths of the EU.

Ask you local group what this is - and how you can help with it..... 😀

2/
When the 23rd June 2016 referendum was written up - the biggest criticism of #remain, was that it was reactive.

It didn't have a policy of its own - but reacted and refuted things that the #Leave group said

[Thread] This is a follow-up analysis to the one I did on 1st September. Today @BorisJohnson tweeted once again on the hashtag #LeaveOct31 [See screenshot]. He sent an identical tweet on 10th September too. Here I analyse 5942 tweets sent both today (13th) and on the 10th.
In my original thread I found that around 8% of accounts retweeting Boris Johnson's #LeaveOct31 were accounts supporting Donald Trump. Three days later, I discovered that 25% of retweets of another Boris tweet were performed by MAGA Trump supporters #StopTheBrexitCoup
3/ But first up, here's a nice little animation of Boris' Retweet today. Boris is in the middle, and all the nodes around him are the retweets. The yellow nodes are accounts that mention Trump-related terms (#KAG, #MAGA etc). The blue nodes are ones that do not.

Thread: I just wrote to email.number10.gov.uk and sent copies to media:
Reading the #yellowhammer leaked and redacted publicised versions, it is evident that #Brexit is the disaster the experts have been warning about. #
2/ We also know why the 31/10 date is so important as it will allow the people that donated their money to the Johnson campaign to recoup their investment by betting on the markets. The public can not be fooled anymore. #LiarJohnson #RevokeArticle50
3/ We would like to put it on record that if anyone dies because of no deal, we will hold the Government accountable and we will prosecute the Government for their death. #LeafAlliance #StopTheCoup

Quick thought on the short Yellowhammer doc just released. It is of course extremely alarming, and exposes the sheer madness of Brexit... I think we also need to remember... [cont]
😠✊🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺 #StopTheCoup #YellowHammer
...that this document will have been compiled by earnest and professional civil servants, striving to choose their words carefully and to be measured in their tone. That means that there could be a great deal of BATSHIT CRAZINESS contained in some of the assessments. [cont]
For example, “significant electricity price increases” - already alarming, but is “significant” 10%? 20%? For anyone on a modest income, even a 5% increase in an electricity bill might be unmanageable. [cont]
😠✊ #StopTheCoup 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
