Today's YouGov Poll:
* 81% want u-turn re bankers bonus cap
* 82% want u-turn on 45% tax cut for high earners
* 87% want parliament recalled immediately
* 86% think govt have lost control of economy
2016 No checks
2017 No checks
2018 Absolutely no checks
2019 No checks under any circumstances
2020 We always said there would be checks. That's what you voted for.
I can't watch Johnson. I can't listen to Johnson. I can barely stand to look at his photo or read anything he's said.
How do we rid our lives, our futures, our country of this narcissistic, immoral manchild?
I voted Remain. I'd vote Remain again tomorrow, & the day after.
I'm not going to get over it. I'm not going to get behind it.
I don't respect the referendum result - it was based on lies, misinformation & illegal activity.
Stick that in your pipe & smoke it.

"The EU has little or no incentive to be nice to UK car makers. They are foreign competitors now".
That's 800,000 jobs at stake thanks to Brexit & a government with no plan & no ideas, apart from begging.
"If freedom of movement was reinstated tomorrow, I could fill the 15 vacancies I need to reopen for lunch".
Multiply that by a whole country.
And let's not forget, freedom of movement is a 2-way street & it's your freedom that has been curtailed as well.
Is watching the Tories implode actually a benefit of Brexit?
Couldnt happen to a nastier, more self-centred, cruel, arrogant, incompetent, corrupt, deceitful bunch of rich bar stewards.
Getting so sick of seeing Farage's face, hearing his voice, reading his toxic, divisive, self-serving, irresponsible rhetoric.
Make it stop. Please.
People of Clacton, please deny him an even bigger stage.

No British beef has yet been exported to Australia since the trade deal was signed, thanks to Australian red tape.
Yet Australian farmers have exported 1700 tonnes of beef to the UK.
Can't wait to hear how the Brexiters try to spin this reality.
Brexit has been a disaster.
The public knows it.
The SNP knows it.
The Greens know it.
The LibDems know it.
Many Labour MPs know it.
Time the leadership knew it.
Brexiters now complaining about what Brexit has cost them.
With Steve Baker, it was his mental health. With Sarah Vine, her marriage.
What about what it cost the rest of us, especially those that never wanted it in the first place?
What about what it's costing the country?
"I have been running restaurants for the best part of 30 years and I have never before closed a service due to staff shortages. The problem is not Covid, but Brexit."
Steve Baker says Brexit vote ‘probably should have been a supermajority’.
It also should not have been treated as if it was legally binding. It wasn't. It was advisory only.
"Figures on Biden's campaign have told Business Insider that the president-elect has genuine hostility towards the prime minister who he believes is a right-wing populist cut from the same cloth as the outgoing president."
Over 30,000 new Covid cases in UK today. More than any other country in the world.
Not the kind of world-beating the government had in mind, I'm sure.
Any media outlets actually notice or comment?
There are only 2 countries in Europe that used the unfair FPTP voting system - the UK & Belarus!
The last time a British government got into power with a majority of public support was 1931.
Rather overdue for electoral reform, wouldn't you say?
It's a new year, a new decade & a new era.
I live in a beautiful place in Spain.
It's home.
I have more rights in the EU than Brits in the UK.
I'm 67, retired, childless & exhausted & I could quit while I'm ahead & leave the fight to others.
Except I can't.
And I won't.
British public wants to remain in EU, new poll finds weeks before withdrawal date
Brexit is not, & never was, the will of the people.
It is being forced on us against our will.

I ❤️Freedom of Movement.
Not just mine, everyone's, especially EU28 citizens wishing to live, love, work, study, retire in any EU28 country.
For me it is one of the highlights of EU membership, to be treasured & fought for.
I will never vote for any party that wants to stop FOM.
If you're such a fan of press freedom can you please explain why

are not allowed to ask questions at you daily briefings?

"All those ministers who've been telling us how good Brexit is for the economy need to pull their fingers out of their bottoms and renegotiate some kind of delay or get out clause with the EU very fast indeed."
I've heard all the arguments why Labour should make Brexit work. I even support many of them.
But that doesn't take away from the fact that us Remainers are still being excluded by both main parties, despite the diminishing Leaver audience.
And it sucks!
Johnson just claimed that UK locked down earlier in the curve than Italy, Spain & France!
Plus the "we did the right thing at the right time" rubbish.
Lies, lies, damned lies.
59% of Labour members think they should campaign to rejoin, while only 15% are against it. Not sure who is advising Starmer or who they are listening to.
Makes you wonder if there will actually be any industries left standing in UK.
Can anyone name a single industry that is doing better thanks to Brexit?
"Brexit was a massive failure of leadership," Guy Verhofstadt said. "But in a democracy people can call upon new leadership to undo the mistakes of the past."
Theresa May warns voting down her deal 'could risk no Brexit at all'
Pretty sure we could all get over our disappointment & live with "no Brexit at all"!
"Hidden in the small print of a technical document published by the Department for International Trade is an admission that officials could have juiced up the figures."
Can't imagine why they might want to do that!
Leavers voted to lose so many rights.
Or they believed the lying politicians who told them that nothing would change.
Either way, Brexit ruined so much for so many, & for nothing.
Starmer has stated categorically that he won't:
* rejoin the SM
* rejoin the CU
* rejoin the EU
* reintroduce FOM
* talk to SNP
I'd like to know what
@Keir_Starmer
will do.
You might be forgiven for thinking only Spain could be about to deport illegal Brits for overstaying 90 day allowance.
Think you'll find there are 26 others countries about to do the same.
The UK government knew this. They helped write 3rd country national rules.
@BremainInSpain
Johnson says we can send the coronavirus packing!
All going to be sorted in 12 weeks apparently!
Can someone please explain, then, why the government need special measures impinging on civil liberties, for 2 whole years?
5 years ago today, my world was shattered. Nothing made any sense. The country that made me who I am was unrecognisable.
I thought it couldn't get any worse, but them came May, then came Johnson.
The tears have dried up but the anger, & the drive to fight, lives on.
#NotMovingOn
Channel 4 to 'empty chair' Boris Johnson at Tory leadership TV debate.
Johnson gave in to pressure to participate in BBC debate (no audience) but not the Channel 4 one (live studio audience).
Is he a coward or under strict instructions from his minders?
Doctors at St. Thomas Hospital have confirmed that Boris Johnson is still showing clear signs of narcissism, hypocrisy & incompetence.
Symptoms include smirking, arm-waving & lapsing into Latin.
The country wishes him a speedy recovery.
Are you suffering from Brexitourettes?
Do you find yourself shouting at the TV (BBC especially), getting very angry, swearing profusely, falling out with friends & pretending you're not British?
Don't worry, there's a cure!
It's called

"Voting is only democratic if you understand what you're voting for".
Many leave voters didn't understand the benefits of EU membership or the damage Brexit would cause ...... & still don't.
Well knock me down with a feather.
@BBCNews
has just had a very balanced item about Brexit on lunchtime news including interviews with Remainers & questioning whether Brexit really is the will of the people. The tide really has turned!
@BremainInSpain
Of course we're bitterly disappointed with court ruling but so glad we came this far. The court thought our case of significant importance to grant a full day & live feed.
Now the world has witnessed our strong legal arguments - the referendum result was unsound.
@UKEUchallenge
Starmer under pressure as support mounts for anti-Brexit youth travel scheme.
The EU wants it, the British public wants it. Come on Starmer, let's see that "reset" & "change" you keep banging on about.
Priti Patel just said she's sorry that people feel that the government have failed NHS re PPE.
When asked to confirm that she was apologising for the failures, she said she'd been very clear - she was sorry that the public felt that they have been failed.
So, no, not an apology.
Anyone seen all the media coverage for the important
@UKEUchallenge
case in the court of appeal yesterday? Or the MPs speaking out about the outrageous decision to just ignore a rotten referendum result because we've started so we'll finish? No, me neither.
@BremainInSpain
State pension is NOT a benefit! It's an entitlement paid for by decades of contributions.
UK state pension 1 of the lowest in EU - it cannot be reduced any more.
What next, early euthanasia of the elderly for the good of the youth?
Hands off my income!
Can anyone think of any example of the government being pro-active during the crisis?
School closures - reactive
Events cancelled - reactive
Lockdown - reactive
PPE - reactive
Ventilators - reactive
Testing - reactive
Care homes - reactive
A return to the EU "is becoming more likely and, most importantly, easier to pull off".
To all those that say:
* rejoining will take a generation
* the EU won't want us back
* Brexit can be made to work in time
We're going back to the EU. No doubt.
