So, @UKParliament
▪️The British Medical Association @TheBMA officially supports a #PeoplesVote on the Brexit deal
▪️The @The_TUC (Trade Unions) want us to stay in the Single Market and its head wants a #PeoplesVote
▪️Most recent polling shows the Public wants a #PeoplesVote
Are you really saying you know what's best for the NHS MORE than the doctors of the NHS themselves?
If you don't support a People's Vote now, you'll only have yourself to blame when the NHS flatlines...
And I imagine the doctors will have some pretty strong feelings too...

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?

I don't have a party to run / election to win, so maybe it's rich of me to stand on principle; maybe I'm naive, but...
I'm not willing to pretend that a good Brexit deal is possible just because I'm scared people (who I should have won over on Brexit) might think I'm ruining it.
I get why some might choose that due to their own strategic priorities. But if we go down the path of "keep trying Brexit until every last person is convinced it can't work":
a) We risk crashing out.
b) People would blame the EU not Brexit #HowWeGotInThisMess
c) It's dishonest
🔻The Tories want to endanger the Belfast Agreement which the EU won't allow. And even this Brexit will be rejected.
🔻Labour's Brexit must meet the 6 tests. That means Single Market & Customs Union. Parliament would never approve that for the same reasons we're stuck now.

When we launched just 9 months ago, few believed we had a realistic chance of success. Today, thanks to everyone who kept fighting, we continue to prove the doubters wrong. At the end of an incredible 2018, here’s the story of how we got here:
March 2018: Even before the #PeoplesVote campaign launched, the groups that today support the campaign all moved into the same shared campaign office, as together, we are stronger
April 2018: the launch of the #PeoplesVote campaign was attended by over 1,500 people & had top actor @SirPatStew talk about why he backed a #PeoplesVote.

remainers if we are to accept #brexit then it must be the brexit promised by vote leave for none other is the will of the people
the promised #brexit must be have no downsides only a considerable upside as @David_Davis_UK promised
the promised #must deliver an additional £350mpw for the NHS some say £100mpw rebate and EU spending in UK make this impossible however if the EU give us £200mpw alimony this promise will be fulfilled and any acceptable brexit deal must deliver this

1. So today we are likely to see Tories getting their panties in a bunch over the revelation that regulatory alignment with the EU will limit the scope of a US trade deal. That should be a surprise to no-one who has been paying attention.
(#Brexit thread)
2. This apparently is justification enough to leave the single market. There is something of a problem with this thinking however. Firstly the US does not depend imports. Trade for the US is a foreign policy tool. For them trade is about power.
3. And when it comes to the USA, where trade is concerned runs an America First policy. It did so under Obama and will do so under Trump. They make no exceptions for allies. There are two country categories...
1. America.
2. Not America

1/ Thread: Here are my 12 thoughts on #Brexit. We are at half-time in Art50 process. Departure UK from EU now exactly 12m away. Right moment to take stock and list a few backward- and forward-looking thoughts. (You can also read the full blog-post here: delorsinstitut.de/en/all-publica…)
#1: When the UK voted leave, many said the EU would be weakened. Today it is clear that the contrary is true: it’s the UK not the EU that has been weakened by Brexit.
#2a Whatever people say, it would have been possible for Britain to change its mind about Brexit. Many political decisions, even after referenda, have been reversed in many countries.
