To all Honourable and Right Honourable Members of Parliament, please hear this:

In 2015 all Tory, LibDem and Labour MPs stood on a manifesto that promised the people an In/Out Referendum on leaving the EU.

@Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @HouseofCommons Parliament voted by a substantial majority to hold a Referendum by 544 to 53 in favour.

@Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @HouseofCommons The Conservative leader, our Prime Minister, said to us all, "If you vote out, no ifs no buts, we’re out." Our taxes paid to send a leaflet to every household confirming all this.

@Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @HouseofCommons After the Referendum the Conservatives elected a leader who said "Brexit means Brexit" which I think we can reasonably translate to "Leave means Leave".

@Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @HouseofCommons Under that leader Parliament voted to trigger Art. 50 to leave in two years, with or without “a deal” by 498 votes to 114.

@Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @HouseofCommons The two main parties then stood in 2017, in another GE, on a manifesto promising to leave, to leave completely. 84.2% of the votes cast went to leave supporting parties.

@Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @HouseofCommons After repeated unfulfilled promises to leave, the Conservatives ejected that failed leader and elected another with a huge mandate. He stood on a manifesto to leave on the 31st October “do or die”.

@Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @HouseofCommons Despite all this, despite plotting and scheming across the House, Tories are now openly undermining not just their elected leader, not just the electorate but the very country they claim to represent.

@Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @HouseofCommons These people delude themselves they are acting honourably. They are acting in a manner openly hostile to democracy and purely in what they believe to be their narrow personal interests.

@Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @HouseofCommons It's not up to you to question our decision, you outsourced the question to us and we have answered. We've been patient these three tortuous years.

@Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @HouseofCommons In a democracy, one accepts the majority vote. One doesn’t question whether it was the right vote, why people voted or, indeed, get to write-off a vote because you don’t like it.

@Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @HouseofCommons Democracy is a warts ‘n all concept. If you can’t accept that, you’re not a democrat. You’re a narcissist.
