[thread] I would be able to move on from brexit if......
I want you to be able to hold your held up high as you win
As Margaret Thatcher puts it
"The manner of winning is a matter of honour."
You have nothing except empty hollow platitudes of "sea of opportunity", "seize the opportunity" , "move on" , "our friends and neighbours"
That really is lowering the barrel even further
There are 3 simple questions to ask any brexit salesperson or buyer

1. How did you win?
2. What did you win?
3. How do we move on? https://t.co/B77gDpNXZM

Drug policy is a complex area
It falls across social, health and criminal justice areas
I will leave the question of what Scotland is capable of in terms of devolved powers and what is reserved at Westminster
I just want to focus on "SNP cuts"
These statistics are dreadful and heartbreaking. Every death is a tragic loss of life that could have been avoided.

Drug deaths have doubled in a decade, and there's no doubt that the SNP's cuts to drug rehab and addiction programmes have a large part to play. https://t.co/MkmCFRAvir

Priti Patel
Is eager to divulge internal debate held in cabinet to bolster her reputation & get a boost for Tory leadership post Boris
“On ‘should we have closed our borders earlier?’ the answer is yes, I was an advocate [of] closing them last
So this is going to be a really simple thread
I have a larger thread on Priti Patel
Which we will come to at the last
But I want to focus on
“On ‘should we have closed our borders earlier?’ the answer is yes, I was an advocate [of] closing them last March.”
So I would ask of Priti
What evidence did you have that informed your advocacy?
Did you have (to borrow a phrase) an "absolute burden of proof"?
Was it just a hunch or belief?
Were you trying to "do-good" so to
Ian Hislop explains to Priti Patel why she's wrong about supporting capital punishment, but she disagrees claiming "absolute burden of proof" means innocent people will never be wrongly executed.#c4news @LBC #r4today #bbcqt #PoliticsLive #Newsnight #bbcaq #marr #GE2019 pic.twitter.com/dsQ98AzHQH

Priti only meant it unintentionally
And she was frustrated when she said it
So that's

The most difficult thing I find is writing the hook into a thread
There is a simple word
It is called Imagine
But first I want to focus on a different topic
Nigeriahttps://t.co/bF4zaDguzh
It's not like the UK talked of invading Spain or Calais
Or was busy trying to incite Irexit, Itexit or the AfD or so other discord in the EU
After all that 50 pence piece
Talks of friendship
So surely we were good friends?
Those liars who had nothing
And knew they had nothing
Well they passed their withdrawal agreement
Knowing they never had any intention of honouring

What are you prepared to sacrifice for brexit ?
Boris Johnson and his historic wordshttps://t.co/nFkevENjqB
Oh yes and a reminder
How many Tory MPs are unashamed they passed legislation without forming an opinion on it
It's well written btw - deliberately so
Great piece by @michaelgove in @TheSun on the Union - and guaranteed to leave we are family tune stuck in your head all weekend. https://t.co/ZuMcBKqLmW

"Scottish independence would break up our family… and families are strongest when they stick together"
A reminder: Over 100,000 dead due to the incompetence of Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and an entire government of sycophantic cronies
"THIS terrible pandemic has brought home to us all the importance of family. "
This is like when Stanley Johnson said that the UK only took coronavirus seriously when Boris Johnson got infected.
No - it didn't take a pandemic to remind me of the importance of family.

It may be Boxing day, but I've had a quick look
Title VIII: Energy is the key section (page 156 onwards)
▶️ Standard stuff on commitment to competition, unbundling and customer choice
▶️ UK Capacity Market no longer needs to try to integrate overseas Capacity providers & vice versa
(Article ENER.6, Clause 3, page. 160)
2/
▶️ Existing "exemptions" for selected interconnectors will continue to apply.
This means that these interconnectors can continue to sell capacity rights ahead of time, rather than all through close to real-time markets.
(Article ENER.11, page 162)
3/
▶️ No network charges on individual interconnector transactions (as now)
▶️ But, UK cannot participate in EU procedures for capacity allocation and congestion management (more on this later)
(Article ENER.13, page 163)

Gas trading: looks like the UK stays in the existing PRISMA gas trading platform.
Not my specialist area, but is this because PRISMA isn't an EU institution (unlike electricity market coupling)?

The prince Dhruv greeted the sages and continued on his journey. At last, he reached a beautiful forest Madhuvan on the bank of the river Yamuna. It was the same forest, which was later occupied by a demon Madhu.
Shatrughana, the youngest brother of Sri Rama had killed demon Lavan, son of Madhu in the same forest & founded the township of Mathura. In the same forest, prince Dhruv decided to carry out his penance. As per the dictate of the sages, he began to recite the mantra continuously
Very soon, the earth began to move because of Dhruv’s severe penance. Even the seat of Indra could not remain stable. A stampede resulted among the gods. The gods then hatched a conspiracy to disturb the penance.
