Wow. The @Telegraph recants:
"Predictions on economic consequences of #Brexit, dismissed as "Project Fear", have been on a long fuse but turned out to be overwhelmingly correct & if anything underestimated both the calamitous loss of international standing & scale of damage."
"Predictions on economic consequences of #Brexit, dismissed as "Project Fear", have been on a long fuse but turned out to be overwhelmingly correct & if anything underestimated both the calamitous loss of international standing & scale of damage."
"Perhaps I exaggerate, but not since the humiliation of the International Monetary Fund bailout in 1976 have we seen an unravelling quite as spectacular. This too from a Tory Government with a substantial overall majority. It is scarcely believable."

"If it had been done differently it might have succeeded, but it was not. We'll be paying the consequences in reduced standing and prosperity for years, if not decades, to come."

So this weekend, like many, we’re going to see the usual #brexit suspects come out with some of their regular outbursts. Here’s a few thoughts I have via a #Thread below.
Some of these will point blame at the EU for trying to sabotage a deal, focus specifically on Ireland or go for the approach that the EU will crack soon due to the pressures of the German car manufacturers or the likes.
We could be told, again, that Ireland will follow the U.K. out of the EU or indeed seek to rejoin the UK itself!

-dat de EU ons miljarden kost
-dat economieën in Zuid-Europa kapot gaan door de #EU

Piet stelt dat het ‘maar’ 1 miljard per jaar is.
Zijn linkje werkt niet meer, dus ik heb zelf even gegoogeld en kwam hier terecht.
Volgens de EU zelf👇 betaalde NL in 2017 bijna 2 miljard meer dan het ontving.

Lamenting the future after the #WithdrawalAgreement? Done with #Brexit? Tired of the fight? Sad?
Either way, if you've got the #brexitblues #FBPE don't lose hope.
Instead, kick back, get popcorn and join me in a thread of #NotBrexitDone.
Because we need you even more

You see for 3.5 years we've been fighting. Two groups in an endless war of not listening to each other.
But wherever this goes now, there is no #Remain anymore. So say goodbye to it. Have a funeral for it.

Did you notice?
In the blink of an eye you turned from resistance to participant.
How will you play this new game? IMHO you have 4 options
1. Make sure they keep their promises
2. Remind them they were stupid/wrong
3. Check Out
4. Their bed...
Which do you choose?

It is also incredible - knowing all this evidence and having reports from the Information Commissioner and a Judgment on illegal coordination between the Vote.Leave and Be.Leave campaigns, as well as overspend- that both UK and EU continued Brexit negotiations.

withdrawal negotiations. A period to last two years, or longer by joint agreement.
The illegal breaches of Electoral Law, by both the Vote.Leave and Be.Leave campaigns, would have seen the result declared 'Null and Void' - EXCEPT for the fact that the Referendum

We just need to repair our wounds & turn ourselves into a slick & better organised group of protest. This is much bigger than Brexit. We let right wing populism & nationalism take over our country (or rather the conned Tory voters did) but we won’t rest until we have it back! 2/5
This is the deal👉
We form the #WeAreThe54Percent group still fighting Brexit (even once it’s on its way - for we know it will never be “done”), fighting for electoral reform, saving our democracy & our NHS & our green policies and stamping out racism!

@IrishTimesOpEd @ARK_info @BenRosher Reason why DUP is under pressure isn't due to a general ‘greening’ of NI electorate nor down to any fabled ‘pan-nationalist front’.
They lost because of a pro-#Remain vote coming from unionist voters as well as nationalist ones
+ those who don't identity with either. #Neither

#Kensington. Vote Labour tomorrow. Here's why.
I see the appeal of lib dems. I want to vote for Sam.
But he has shifted remain votes from lab to lib not con.
That's the sort of outcome we don't need.

The recriminations between #labour and #libdems on splitting votes go way back before #GE19 - but check my timeline - I've been constructive advocting cooperation.

I care if we all lose. I'm objective.

At the start of the campaign, I advocated for Lib Dems in #Kensington. @emmadentcoad
Is a good MP, but data said libs had a better chance.
Now, on the most credible data we have, voting LD = tory win here.

I genuinely do not understand this editorial. It correctly lists some of the terrible consequences of austerity and the risks of another Conservative government, whilst barely mentioning Brexit at all.

@LiamThorpECHO The EU has transformed our city, something that the Echo has well-documented. And Brexit will be a disaster for us. Whether it is a Labour Brexit or a Conservative Brexit.

I want to share a new paper. Its relevant to #GE2019. The findings are quite exemplary of the misguidedness of much of economic & social policy under the #ConservativeParty. It should be a harbinger to wary voters: there is more of the same under the Tories & with #Brexit. 1/..
The short summary: the reform to housing benefit from 2011 onwards was intended to save the public purse hundreds of millions. But quite the reverse happened: not only did it create huge amounts of misery and agony, it also ended up not saving the public much money at all. 2/..
What happened? From April 2011 onwards, local housing allowance was massively cut from covering up to the median level of rents, to only cover up to the 30th percentile of market rents. Here is a map of how this affected households in terms of expected losses per week. 3/..
So why I think the #GE2019 is really not done yet. A short thread. The summary: I think a hung parliament is still a very likely and a desirable outcome for the UK. I first present some evidence on the former, and then my view on the desirability on the latter. #Brexit
1. Most opinion polls now point to a #Cons maj, including yesterday's @YouGov MRP. MRP is great in the tool box, but still relies on raw polling data. Here, bit.ly/2q0iSFW, I argue here that YouGov samples for BES do appear structurally different and potentially biased
2. Opinion polls are still mostly conducted at national level, ignoring constituency-level factors. My PhD student @EleAla shows that in UK, turnout tends to be systematically lower the "safer" a seat is. And this effect is increasing in the poll national lead of the incumbent..
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.

Some incontrovertible facts:
1/ UK GDP% growth has stalled, at just 0.1% over the 6 months to 30sep19 (so, virtually flat-lining). This is the worst 1/2 year performance since the financial crash.

But the #LibDems can't #RevokeArticle50 unless they win the election. In 2017 they won 12 seats. They need 326 MPs to win. How many do they need to claim a mandate to #Revoke?

Could a minority government #RevokeArticle50? Even for that the #LibDems would need at least 200 seats. And what other parties would they then need for success? The #SNP might vote to #RevokeArticle50, but would they be enough?
