Thank you and farewell from BrexitCentral brexitcentral.com/thank-you-and-…

@elonmusk This account is not tweeting new content but is an important archive of a crucial period in UK history. We would urge you not to delete it.

We’re purging accounts that have had no activity at all for several years, so you will probably see follower count drop

As family, friends and former colleagues gather in Grimsby for his memorial service, today we salute the memory of former Labour MP Austin Mitchell, BrexitCentral’s most prolific author. His was an important, authentic and good-humoured voice in the European debate. RIP Austin.

You can still read Austin’s full back catalogue of contributions for BrexitCentral here 👇🏻 brexitcentral.com/author/austin-…

I'm guilty of labelling too many articles as "must reads", but I urge everyone to read this challenging piece and consider making a donation to @mariecurieuk. @anandMenon1 has brought energy and positivity to politics over the past 7 years and I'm sorry 2020 was so tough for him

- Fighting a global pandemic & the economic fallout - Negotiating an EU-UK trade deal that (on first sight) is far better than the models being discussed by Brexiteers in the runup to 23rd June 2016 That's a pretty epic record for 18 months. Happy Christmas, Prime Minister 🎄3/3

But a quick thought on @BorisJohnson... Has any peacetime Prime Minister faced such a tough first 18 months? - Negotiating the Withdrawal Agreement - Persuading a hung Parliament to agree an election, and then winning with an 80 majority 2/3

Having made the wrong call on MV3 (remember that? - see below), I’m looking forward to reading the detail of the new UK-EU trade deal. But early signs are very promising, especially on the ECJ. It looks like we truly have taken back control 1/3 thecritic.co.uk/issues/februar…

Thank you to the judging panel: @KateAndrs, @peteratcmc, @isaby, @MorrisseyHelena, @jonmoyni, @wallaceme & Georgiana Bristol And to the excellent @ConHome for publishing my articles about the awards Congratulations to the winners, and Merry Christmas to everyone 🎄 3/3

2. @ChrisBarnardDL, and the @BCA_eco team, for a Youth Environment Summit during @COP26 in Glasgow With a special runner-up prize of £5,000 for: 3. @SophieSandor, a talented film maker, to produce a documentary called No Victim 2/3

On a day lacking in good news, I'm pleased to announce the winners of @BrexitCentral's policy entrepreneurship awards. The two cheques for £10,000 go to: 1. Dr Richard Johnson (@richardmarcj) of @QMUL for a book on the history of Labour Euroscepticism 1/3 conservativehome.com/platform/2020/…

There’s great opportunity here for a young policy or campaigning entrepreneur to win a £10,000 grant! @matthew_elliott explains all 👇🏻 conservativehome.com/parliament/202…

I was really sad when I heard yesterday that Stuart Wheeler had passed away. He was one of the most instrumental people in my career and became a good personal friend. It began with his support for @the_tpa in its early days. 1/10 telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/202…

Delighted to announce that in September I am becoming Director of @PoliteiaUK. Am looking forward to ensuring its rigorous research reaches an ever larger audience as it promotes the best policies for a free society under the rule of law. More here 👉🏻 politeia.co.uk/looking-ahead-…

I’m delighted that the @metpoliceuk have confirmed they won’t be acting on the allegations made against Darren Grimes and Alan Halsall by the @ElectoralCommUK. This proves that the wild allegations made against @darrengrimes & Vote Leave since 2016 are completely baseless. (1/4)

In The Sun today, I return to my old TaxPayers' Alliance stomping ground of tax and spend to discuss the forthcoming Budget. "In our first Budget as a newly born, independent nation, Boris must give all Brits a much-needed boost." #Budget2020 @the_tpa
