Brexit the Elephant decided to stand on the despatch box to see if Rachel Reeves would notice him as she read out her budget.
“I reckon she knows I’m here”.
“But they’re still pretending I’m not, though”, he lamented.

Brexit the Elephant had a fun day out in Oxford attending the @europeanmovement.co.uk AGM.
He wondered if he should apply to read PPE, Modern European Languages, or Banana Horticulture.

Brexit the Elephant thinks Lord Kinnock is probably right in his assessment.
“But I don’t live in the broom 🧹 cupboard”, he thought, also rather offended at being referred to as a ‘mammoth’. 😱

Brexit the Elephant is with Larry picking up a few ‘provisions’ for the Downing Street pantry.
“Food and living costs are so much more expensive since Brexit,” he reflected. 🍌 🐟 🍗 🥛
Larry sniffed suspiciously at the chicken because it was marked “Not for EU”.

Brexit the Elephant was having difficulty getting his paw to scan on the new EES machines at the airport.
“I wonder if it likes bananas,” he mused.
“After all, Brexit *is* bananas”, he reasoned, rather proud of his aptitude for logical reasoning.

Brexit the Elephant was wondering whether the new passport machine in Spain would accept his paw print 🐾.
And he was rather hoping that no one would ask him for an animal health certificate.
“Wouldn’t it have been much simpler to have stayed in the EU?”, he pondered.

As I took #BrexitTheElephant on a trip to Brussels I was thinking about the 90-in-180-day problem and how to help politicians understand it better.
At the end of the thread 🧵 below there are some ideas you could send to your MP if you want to help. (Or tag them).

Brexit the Elephant is very excited to be travelling to Brussels, capital of 🍺 Beer, Chips 🍟 and Chocolate 🍫 and of course one of the homes of the European Parliament 🇪🇺.
“I wonder if anyone will notice me in Brussels” he sighed.
…still feeling invisible in Westminster.

Brexit the Elephant is resting on a park bench in London contemplating the mess the UK government created.
“Oh dear” he sighed.
“What a palaver. And what with all that’s going on in the world, they still can’t see what’s under their noses”
“Psst. I’m here”, he whispered.
