Today we joined other groups from Berkshire & the rest of Britain (as well as some from further afield) for the #FinalSayForAll march.
It was brilliant - the weather was good, the atmosphere was amazing, the speeches at the end were memorable.

Assembling at the start of the march.
A lot of time must have gone into making this pub sign placard.

@WEP_UK @SholaMos1 @Hugodixon @PeterTatchell @mikegalsworthy @sianberry @JennSelby @BestForBritain @women4PV @OFOCBrexit Like Jacob Rees Mogg, the govt continues to sink lower & lower.
Boris & his bully boys have shown us their true colours. Just today we have seen reports of a potential Tory & Brexit Party alliance. That’s how desperate the PM is to shore up his own power. 2/

@WEP_UK @SholaMos1 @Hugodixon @PeterTatchell @mikegalsworthy @sianberry @JennSelby @BestForBritain @women4PV @OFOCBrexit Every move this govt makes further exposes their sinister motives.
We the people have had enough.
In the last few weeks we have seen record numbers of people (particularly young people) registering to vote. 3/

It's now painfully clear and beyond any doubt: 1. That the sunny, cost-free, easy-access uplands, posited by the Brexit cult, are mendacious fantasy. 2. That the ever-growing costs, downsides and consequences of Brexit are very real and intellectually indisputable.

We may tire of confronting the undisputed opportunity costs* of #Brexit #CatastrophUK (c.£130bn so far, rising at c.£1.2bn weekly) but our *GDP *Currency *Property Values *Stock Market *Govt Borrowing *Ongoing #Brexodus (ref: @uk_domain_names) combine to drag the UK backwards.
@uk_domain_names These #Brexit Opportunity Costs are known to: @10DowningStreet @bankofengland @TheIFS @ONS @The_IoD @LSEnews @TUCeconomics @cbicarolyn @Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @theSNP @GoldmanSachs @PwC @ICAEW @KPMG @UKHouseofLords @HouseofCommons and they'd double if UK does #NoDeal!
Seems to me something quite significant happened yesterday which is being somewhat overlooked by Remain Twitter.
Lots of Labour Party shadow cabinet members, including a good number of frontbenchers, took part in a public meeting where they all spoke passionately for Remain. 1/

Now I know there’s massive disaffection with Labour, and I personally think that Corbyn’s brand is so tarnished that he is an albatross around the party’s shoulders, but this is still a big deal. 2/
Look at the names: Keir Starmer (well, you’d expect him), but also Emily Thornberry, Dawn Butler, a supporting letter from John McDonnell and there in the flesh Diane Abbott, all front benchers now making explicitly pro PV and Remain statements. 3/
Dear leave voters,
You can’t honestly say you voted for a no deal Brexit in 2016. No one did. It simply wasn’t on the table three years ago.
We were promised a deal in 2016, and that is what leave voters voted for.

Not one leave campaigner spoke in favour of no deal during the referendum campaign. No one. Not UKIP, Farage, Johnson, Rees-Mogg, Gove etc. Even Vote Leave was clear that we’d leave with a deal.
Be honest. All talk of a no deal Brexit emerged after Maybot’s terrible deal was published, over two years after we voted. At least something unites us: we agree her deal is awful. It’s far inferior to our current terms, not least because we’d take rules without making them.
1/This is not the right time to form a new party. It would confuse voters who are not willing to trust an untried party. It took the Soc Dem/Libdems over 20 years to gain credibility and traction. If ppl need a political voice that is sincere and not rhetoric driven
2/ give the LibDems or the Greens serious consideration. Vince is a clever and honourable man. He argues cogently, he gives meaning to facts, he is a founder member of @peoplesvote. @LibDems policies are people-centred and fair. @ LibDems were stupid in 2010 and have paid the
3/ price, but we are fighting back from what should have been political annihilation. Yesterday's speech gave all members an equal voice and most importantly recognised the fact that politics does not have to be the preserve of career politicians. The party has pledged to support
