OK, Today is huge. Today we find out how sensible our MPs are. Whether they'll let Brexit be a disaster, or whether they'll fight to protect British jobs, British Rights, and British Prosperity. #EUWithdrawalBill
Thread of relevant tweets:
Amendment: Keep our place in the Single Market?
Amendment: Should a Sovereign UK Parliament get a meaningful vote on the deal? Or did people vote for ANY deal.
#EUWithdrawalBill
Amendment: Should we keep the human rights protections provided by the Charter of Fundamental Rights? #EUWithdrawalBill
Amendment: Should Brexit create a Ministerial Monarchy that trashes Parliamentary Sovereignty by allowing ministers to pass and scrap laws as they like?
#EUWithdrawalBill
Amendment: Should we keep our place in the Single Market? pt2. What is the Single Market? #EUWithdrawalBill
Amendment: Are we saying "Screw Northern Ireland" by leaving the Customs Union? pt1
#EUWithdrawalBill
Amendment: Are we saying "Screw Northern Ireland" by leaving the Customs Union? pt2. #EUWithdrawalBill
Amendment: Are we saying "Screw Northern Ireland" by leaving the Customs Union? pt3
The Good Friday Agreement, which ended* decades of violence in Northern Ireland (see 'The Troubles') requires an open north-south border.
Leaving the Customs Union destroys that.
#EUWithdrawalBill
The most important Amendment is the Meaningful Vote.
Nobody thinks the negotiations are going well. You would need to be on more drugs than we have in northern hemisphere.
So when we get a crap deal, it must be the Parliament and/or the People who decide on it.

One reason why the Brexit debate is now so aggressive is because MPs like Andrea Leadsom keep saying that letting the people vote on a deal which POLITICIANS are responsible for, and which even Brexit voters hate, somehow means Remainers are calling Brexit voters stupid. #Peston
Let's say:
1⃣I hate our current relationship with the rest of the EU
2⃣I vote to end that relationship
3⃣The government negotiates a new relationship
4⃣I think it's worse than the old one
5⃣I vote to stick with the old one.
Does that make me 'stupid' or just not psychic?
#Peston
These politicians, like Andrea Leadsom, know Brexit hasn't worked out as they promised and instead of admitting that, they want the people to get angry with each other rather than blame the politicians who brought us here.

OK Just started watching #BrexitTheUncivilWar. You guys better not ruin the end result for me!
I can already feel people complaining 'How dare they portray Nigel Farage as a rich boy playing games with the lives of the working class he claims to represent'

Is Benedict Cumberbatch putting on a Welsh accent?

Your doctors, nurses, midwives and GPs are all telling you Brexit is bad for your health.
Which do you love more? Brexit or the NHS?
#NHSLongTermPlan
If you love the NHS more, how do we best protect it?
We can protect it as an EU member. Brexit makes it vulnerable to people like Trump.
#NHSLongTermPlan
But they're saying more money is coming to the NHS. Do the numbers add up?

In his blog, Mr Cummings says AIQ "once built some software" for Cambridge Analytica's parent company SCL, in 2014, but suggestions the company shared data with Cambridge Analytica were "ludicrous". bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Leave . EU's co-founder Arron Banks said: "Leave . EU did not receive any data or work from Cambridge Analytica. "UKIP did give Cambridge Analytica some of its data and Cambridge Analytica did some analysis of this.
"But it was not used in the Brexit campaign. Cambridge Analytica tried to make me pay for that work but I refused. It had nothing to do with us."

1) Thread - Corbynites FFS wake up!
I did resolve (again) to stop attacking Corbyn & to focus on the government in fighting #Brexit
But the last few days have given me a reality check again
Yesterday's #PeoplesVoteMarch was a triumph, over 100k people all over the news
Then this
2) so really I have 2 questions for Corbyn supporters
Firstly, yesterday's march was undoubtedly a progressive march against something a majority of Labour party supporters agree would be damaging for the majority

A #PeoplesVote may not be everyone's ideal, but ...
3) ...at least the march raises the profile of the anti #Brexit movement and shows people it's not settled.

So how did the Labour movement, which is supposed to be about exactly this kind of action, find it's Leadership officially against this and standing with the government?

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

1/ A small thread on why BOTH many Remainers & Leavers still havent "got" that #Brexit has already failed...
....even if it goes ahead.
& why its often "media noise" rather than "actual lies" is obscuring this & the fact that Brexit wont happen as we thought it would 2 years ago.
2/ Basic Leave idea pre #Brexit vote was that a prosperous UK with large trade deficit eager to retain many European standards wld not really offer a threat to EU was not completely implausible as many remainers assumed.
But it depended on....
3/ Basic #Brexit idea was to convince EU that with a bit of compromise & British payments UK cld leave single mkt but retain full access to it while it worked out its future. Indeed many sensible Leavers didnt want radical change overnight..however there was one small problem....

UK is heading for #Brexit In Name Only. And maybe the slow, spasmodic death of British nationalism. Thread.
I’ve never believed UK & EU would agree terms on a new - indefinite - relationship. There’s a chasm between EU’s position & UK rhetoric 2/
Conservative Party backed EU for 50 years. Most grandees, funders and MPs still believe UK would do very badly if it left SM. Financial Times & Treasury agree 3/
