. This is what Brexit Britain is relying on..... Weep now Weep tomorrow On Monday - fight with ALL your might to #StopBrexit . irishtimes.com/news/world/uk/… by @denisstaunton in The @IrishTimes

The absurdity of Brexit in just one tweet. Absurd idea that Redwood & Brexiters aren't the Establishment. Absurd slogans about 'adventure'. Absurd understanding of how international trade & relations work. Absurd historical reference. Absurd lack of any practical ideas. twitter.com/johnredwood/st…

Brexit has created a terrible mess in the UK. It must be fought & stopped. It is failing, we are winning: and then there must be reform of the rotten system that caused it to happen. #PeoplesVote

. I wonder who had a pleasanter time in the company of US politicians today..... "Barnier met with about a half a dozen members of the Friends of Ireland caucus on Capitol Hill this afternoon, part of a two-day visit to Washington." . irishtimes.com/news/world/us/… by @suzannelynch1

. Remember when we had to explain the same thing to David Davis?.... Some people just know nothing, learn nothing, care nothing. . irishtimes.com/news/world/uk/…

. "After two years the government has finally published a Brexit white paper. It runs to 104 pages but is full of so much muddled thinking, desperation & fantasy that they could have done it in five & saved us all a lot of time." By @IanDunt . twitter.com/fascinatorfun/…

. "The Brexiteers’ problem is, at the end of the day, an insoluble one: they promised the impossible, and having won, pledged to deliver the impossible, apparently forgetting that the thing about the impossible is that it’s impossible." . theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/mi… by @MitchBenn

Maybe now we can all agree that I’m not simple

. "The EU will surely come back with further compromises at which point the Brexiteers are going to go postal & start rebelling in droves And at that point we won’t be needing a Minister For Exiting The EU. We’ll need a Minister For Exiting The Cabinet" . gq-magazine.co.uk/article/brexit…

. "EU negotiators will reject the idea of single market access for goods only & dismiss the customs proposal as unworkable." . irishtimes.com/news/world/uk/… by @denisstaunton in The @IrishTimes

. "'The irony is that by leaving the EU, the UK will be LESS useful to Washington as an ally but it will also NEED the United States much more,' said Jeffrey A. Stacey, a former State Department official." . japantimes.co.jp/news/2018/07/1…

. Schrodinger's Brexit - 👏 More brilliance from @JohnJCrace "The shadow foreign secretary was understandably bemused that Schrodinger’s Brexit – a Brexit that was both there & not there – was now the government’s official policy."👏 H/T @JohnOBrennan2 theguardian.com/politics/2018/…

@jestejedno . 👏 ..... All evidence shows that they can, indeed. .

. "Northern Ireland does not have the resources to fulfil its energy demands in the event of a no-deal Brexit." . irishtimes.com/news/environme…

. "Britain is currently being “led” by a wheezing, breathless wreck of a government making crazy, desperate decisions. British democracy is falling to pieces before our very eyes." . thenational.scot/politics/16348… by @LesleyRiddoch

. Facts from the across the pond "While America offers a market comparable in size to that of the EU, it’s much further away, so that even if UK could make an incredible deal with us, it wouldn’t be worth nearly as much as the customs union they have." . nytimes.com/2018/07/10/opi…

. "The planning of the country’s actual departure has often looked like a disaster unfolding in slow motion. In the past few days, as an anonymous public servant put it, 'We have at least now reached the kinetic phase of the car crash.'" . newyorker.com/news/our-colum… by @JohnCassidy

. "This is the prospect now before the UK: a Brexit NOT worth the time or effort, and not accommodating the demands of Brexit supporters in the media & politics. The alternatives are no Brexit, a delayed Brexit or no deal." . ft.com/content/6cd242… via @FT by @davidallengreen
