With all this talk about what should the UK look for in the reset, a lot of us are forgetting that there are two sides. So what should Europe have in its negotiating-mandate mix? And should we have priorites above others. A 🧵

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. Repost if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.
