He tweeted the following:

To which the rest of Twitter completely dragged him for

Nicola ENDED him

[Cherie]

Oh dear

[Nicky91]

oh wow, all those people are so right against him

[Niamh.]

oop buuuurn

[Mystic Mock]

How thick is he to give the game up like that?

Well at least Brexiters now know that they were tricked all along.

[Greg!]

I’m obsessed with Nicola’s constant twitter lashings

I do enjoy watching Rees-Moggs getting shredded.

We love it when twitter mass drags the rectangle <3

Twitter allows grown ups to act like children, Rees-Mogg included, before anyone accuses me of being a fan.

I'm starting to think that it's just that children have no filter, and things like Twitter take away people's filter, and this is just what people are actually like when it comes right down to it.

Its a very reckless thing for a politician to say, was he on the ale when he tweeted this I wonder

Mogg doesn't strike me as an ale man to be honest. Gin'n'Slimline I reckon.

It's Typical of Him,

It gave LBC 10 AM show

he is a very influential backbencher on the tory right, a chair of ERG
May's red lines were set out to please him and his lot
so don't say he has no sway bc he very much does
you don't need to be in the cabinet to have power

I thought it was a general rule that whatever this Walter Brown cosplayer said is to be ignored

That's the most frustrating thing about this whole debacle: the argument that we have been powerless and coerced into following this weird, unelected bunch of foreigners, without any control over the voting processes. Perhaps if we'd actually cared more about our MEP elections (I can name roughly 20 people in my life who voted in the referendum that never voted for an MEP) we wouldn't be in this mess. The whole narrative of "EU = making decisions against our will" is just bizarre and I wonder how long before it extends into our own Parliament.

It’s embarassing, people have been lied to constantly, led to believe a load of nonsense that isn’t true and now we’re in this mess because of it

It's true, a lot of the ill feeling that has lead to Brexit is based on us being "ineffective" and "not having any sway" in Europe and thus feeling controlled and trapped.

What if we've simply been electing weak, ineffective people into the European Parliament and if we'd had a stronger presence in the first place, we would never have ended up in this position? Even looking at it objectively, the UK was positioned to be the keystone of the European Union in terms of global reach and especially in terms of transatlantic relations. Did we just misunderstand and neglect that opportunity thanks to weak representation?

Indeed. Its genuinely ridiculous.

Politics on Twitter is one of the worst things about it. It simplifies everything and makes politics about personalities rather than ideas and policies.

Twitter was better when it was about micro-blogging - eg. people posting about what they had for dinner and finding what celebrities were up to.
