#EU officials say the #UK's attempts to amend the #Brexit divorce deal, mostly focused on the #Ireland backstop, have made no headway, and no solution is in sight https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-eu/eu-says-difficult-brexit-talks-unlikely-to-yield-swift-deal-idUSKCN1QN10T

No clue how, with whom, at least even why or for what - But yes: they wanted their country back (as if it was taken anyways) A hollow, but very catchy phrase. We learn: to a large degree nationalism obviously comes at the cost of rationality. Thank you, dear UK, thank you for that lesson. #Europe #uk #Brexit #remainernow

"The British government gives almost unlimited powers to the security forces.

"The security forces use their new powers to pick some Irish scapegoats and beat them." https://danielpocock.com/film-review-in-the-name-of-the-father-brexit

The EU is starting a full on war on general purpose computing. A proposed law will make it impossible to install custom software on WiFi routers, smartphones and embedded devices!

"The shambolic meanderings of #Brexit took another turn, when 8 Labour MPs and 3 of their Tory counterparts defected from their respective parties to form The Independent Group (TIG)." https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/02/26/ukanias-party-defections/

Ministers promised to give @Anna_Soubry the private papers which show the impact ‘no deal’ would have - but we’ve only had a summary. The Government must give us the whole picture of what a no deal #Brexit would mean. https://t.co/GeYUuJVU9z

The idea that vital medical supplies will be handled by a company incapable of delivering chicken to KFC is truly frightening.

Ministers must urgently explain why they’re gambling with people’s lives by striking bargain bucket #Brexit supply deals. https://twitter.com/MirrorPolitics/status/1100688041511976960
