Remember last year, when MPs voted against a no-deal brexit by 240 votes?! For perspective, a 2nd referendum lost by 12 votes, a Customs Union by just 3.

...so Johnson sacked 21 of his MPs just for allowing the vote to go ahead. That's how much he cares about democracy.
In January last year, Theresa May suffered the largest parliamentary government defeat since 1924, losing by a COLOSSAL 230 votes.

Three months later, No-deal Brexit lost the meaningful vote by 240 VOTES!! That's how much it's wanted.

Johnson changed just 5% of Theresa May's Withdrawal Agreement that had just suffered the worst parliamentary defeat for 95 years.

He made it worse, by deleting clauses on citizens rights, environmental protections and pretending to resolve the NI backstop.

Vital to remember that, even if May’s gone as PM by tonight, we’d still have same Cabinet that was prepared to back her #BrexitBetrayal at every stage, from #Chequers onwards.
Her going is only the pre-condition for the change that's needed: it *isn't* the change by itself.
Even if May is no longer PM by tomorrow morning, that's still no reason to vote @Conservatives in #EUElections2019.
Most of the Cabinet/Govt aren't ditching her b/c they violently disagree with her BRINO, only b/c they're worried she'll get them thrashed by the @brexitparty_uk.
@brexitparty_uk Even if May gone, we almost certainly still have ardent Remainer Lidington as stopgap Acting PM, + May-ite Brexit-as-damage-limitation, i.e., soft as possible, still dominant in Cabinet, several of whom would be vying for PM.
Zero reason not to still vote for the @brexitparty_uk.
