@caris54 @hes153ter @SJG99 @melaniekmelvin I used to feel like you but I changed my mind. So bear with me...
@caris54 @hes153ter @SJG99 @melaniekmelvin I can see now that following the ref the situation needed space, otherwise we were in real danger of entrenching views even further.
@caris54 @hes153ter @SJG99 @melaniekmelvin As I’ve watched things unfold, I’ve become happier with labour letting Tories own brexit and implode under its own contradictions
@caris54 @hes153ter @SJG99 @melaniekmelvin If, instead of repeating lines about the no of times Lab have abstained or voted with, you see they’ve actually voted against the govt over 30 times
@caris54 @hes153ter @SJG99 @melaniekmelvin You see that they’ve actually left spaces to keep options open and push the Tories towards an impossible final deal
@caris54 @hes153ter @SJG99 @melaniekmelvin They’ve pushed the Tories into such a difficult position that brexit has every chance of imploding along with them
@caris54 @hes153ter @SJG99 @melaniekmelvin I would like to remain but I do now accept that their current position of a bespoke deal might be our best option
@caris54 @hes153ter @SJG99 @melaniekmelvin If brexit is overturned in other way than a huge move of opinion we risk a real hardening of the far right and possible disastrous consequences
@caris54 @hes153ter @SJG99 @melaniekmelvin So keeping options open while chipping away at the underlying narrative and weakening the Tories is not a bad move
@caris54 @hes153ter @SJG99 @melaniekmelvin I don’t feel I’ve explained well but I think if you sit back, throw away the narrative people keep repeating, watch and really listen you might see a different picture
@caris54 @hes153ter @SJG99 @melaniekmelvin This remains labour policy and if you really listen to what Jeremy Corbyn says you will see he’s leaving space for options
@caris54 @hes153ter @SJG99 @melaniekmelvin He’s a social democrat, doesn’t believe in overturning a vote, but is trying to bring people together at least. And there’s lots of room left should he feel opinion has changed.
@caris54 @hes153ter @SJG99 @melaniekmelvin I listen to his language, he keeps not closing things down, if you do really listen. He could be your greatest ally. Keep alienating people and we’ll get Tory hard brexit.
