Really think the Tories are in the midst of the most terrible error. Huge risks in a GE. (1) Remainers' last chance - they may well coalesce around Labour, and vote tactically. /THREAD

A Customs Union. That's the option you're looking at. A Customs Union, for the world's fifth biggest economy, the EU's second biggest, 15% of all EU GDP. A Customs Union. Just because it sounds a bit compromise-y and reasonable-y. 😱

Both now in disgrace. What a disaster, a shame and a farce GE2019 really was.

Also: the Good Friday Agreeement has not failed. If you think it has, read some books about NI or - gosh, I don't know, you might even go there. Then you'll learn about how many lives it's saved.

These people have just completely lost touch with Britain. They live in a kind of weird US think tank/ culture war world that just doesn't exist for most people.

I think it's very clear by now that this election is less about who forms a government... and more about whether the Conservative Party can survive as a viable national force.

EXCL: In his first interview since Tuesday's debate, Sunak denies he is a "liar". Starmer has repeatedly accused him of lying about Labour's tax plans. “It’s desperate stuff. They are obviously very rattled", Sunak says. Full iv Wed 7pm @ITVTonight .

Yeah, given that Covid has killed more than 1.1m Americans, I'm pretty sure this is... wrong? I mean, maybe my frame of reference is off or something. 🤷‍♂️

They're just out of control. They've got to be stopped before they pour tens of billions of our money down the drain. You can't waste it all on Old Oak Common to Birmingham - that'd be one of the worst public policy disasters of our era.

There are no historic assets and liabilities in the pensions system, that's a flat-out untruth.

Nicola Sturgeon says SNP's position on pensions 'hasn't changed' since 2014. First Minister accepts 'on an ongoing basis it will be for the Scottish Government to fund Scottish pensions'. However, she says 'historic assets and liabilities' will be a 'matter for negotiation'

Unnoticed by most in GB, Northern Ireland is changing rapidly. Not only does a Sinn Fein FM look mildly likely, but there's even a chance the Republican and Nationalist bloc will be bigger than the Unionist one. 'Non-aligned' parties will also do really well. All change in NI.

Anyone surprised at the articulate and literate nature of this England team hasn't spent any time around young people recently. If you had, you'd know the truth... 1/2
