He posted a photo of a an airport road, with a wee camera on it, and pretended it was a normal border crossing. Desperate lies/complete lack of research, then when this was highlighted he still left his idiotic tweet up, in the hope it would no doubt con others. He was completely owned and schooled on numerous points arising out of it.
This complete absence of fact, failure to confront realities, verifiable, important realities, has, as Acey says, debased public life, politics and we are all going to be worse off because of it. Even if the only issue whatsoever about Brexit was going to be on incoming goods across the border then the reality will without a doubt be huge lorry queues, we have to realise this has massive cost implications for consumer price, for road infrastructure costs, for traffic jams (cost to the economy in wasted hours) etc. These MPs are either wholesale lying, completely deluded or just too lazy to look behind their own fantasy world at the facts. The facts and political realities have been clear since 2016, the EU position has been clear, yet not one Brexiteer has faced up to the reality of it.
If they came out and admitted X, Y and Z will be clear problems, but we believe the political goal to be worthwhile despite job losses and economic harm, then you can have an honest discussion and debate the issues, instead they live in a fantasy world and throw out patent lies/nonsense and pretend there will be no issues or problems at all. It's laughable that a tory party which couldn't even provide a secure app for its conference is at same time saying that there are easy Tech solutions to the border. We all know from experience that Government IT projects are usually bloated, run to the billions, and by time of roll out, out of date or just plain shite. If they honestly suggested, 'our tech solution is not yet written but we think it can be, it's going to cost £5 billion but will be effective in 2022' then again you can engage with that in good faith.
All of it boils down to the sheer madness of triggering Article 50 early, without a single shred of a plan, not even a scribble on the back of a fag paper, and tying us into a 2 year timeline which meant we had fucked any sort of negotiating position we might have had. As a strategic fuck up goes it's up there with the charge of the light brigade, which funnily enough seems to be the inspiration for everything David Davis does, those brave British soldiers charging headlong and blindly to their deaths pro patria.

And how can she oppose the legalisation of cannabis when her husband grows it for medicinal use at a large scale corporate level.
