1) This cannot be repeated enough

The Tory ERG are the "Guardians of proper #Brexit"

They've been complaining for months from the sidelines that Brexit isn't being don't properly

But after all this time, they have *no* alternative "proper Brexit plan"

thetimes.co.uk/article/eurosc…
2) the *only* question for Mogg, IDS, Davis, Johnson and the other Knights of #Brexit when they are paraded on Question time & BBC news to snipe at "sabotaging Remoaners" & "Brexit betrayal" should be:
"Ok, why don't you have an alternative Brexit plan?"

thetimes.co.uk/article/eurosc…
3) if Brexit is being betrayed, if the Irish border issue is being overblown, if the SM & CU are just fripperies then fine, it should be easy to put a proper, pragmatic #Brexit plan together

So where is it?

Dear @andrew_lilico
Please, give it up, you, like all #brexit figures, got it catastrophically wrong

I don't want to kick a man when he's down but honestly, surely it's time for some quiet reflection?

Brexiters, like yourself, failed. There is no-one else to blame
@andrew_lilico 2) the strange thing is, you still seem to be suffering from the same delusion that you had 2 years ago when you wrote this Blog, that either
a) the UK has the upper hand in #Brexit negotiations or
b) the UK can act as if it does and the EU will cave

@andrew_lilico 3) so yes, you're technically right, the UK doesn't need a Withdrawal agreement but the UK *does* want a trade deal, every Brexit MP admits that, and the EU made a future trade deal conditional on that WA

So, we're getting a WA

1) The one big takeaway from #BrexitUncivilWar is leavers don't get to say anymore "we all just voted to leave"

It's out there, the cherry picking of swing/none voters, 1 billion targeted messages blaming each individual's issues on the EU

"£350 M and Turkey" driven home
2) Maybe you, your friends, next doors dog all knew well in advance exactly why you voted Leave
It doesn't matter because Vote Leave didn't go after you, it went after the middle 3rd of undecided and told them anything it needed to tell them to convince them the EU was wrong
3) there's no point saying "are you calling leave voters stupid?" because marketing works, especially when you don't know you're being marketed to.

And no one had ever marketed as shamelessly like Vote Leave before, it wasn't even possible 10 years ago

1) 2 observations about David Davis comments here
1stly the really pathetic point about the no deal #Brexit leaders is that even they don't believe in no deal, its still basically the worst bluff in history, believing 27 nations will fold on a cakeism deal before we do
2) if you believe in "no deal" & WTO is "liberating" then why talk about using it as leverage to get that "better" #brexit deal?
It's the same, tired, "they need us more..." line with added idiocy (hint: if you're going to bluff, don't tell everyone)

3) secondly, why does Davis still get airtime? He's been utterly wrong on every single aspect of #Brexit.

He thought we could strike individual trade deals with Germany. He also promised "exact same benefits". He attended 4 hours of negotiations. In all honesty, he's an idiot

#brexit seems to be all about feeling over fact and this is especially true of the ReesMogg ERG faction of the Tory right.
I never bought the line that #brexit is about Democracy because most of the Tory right had zero enthusiasm for improving democracy in the UK few of them care about unelected house of lords the unfair FPTP electoral system or transparency on the contrary
Most of the Tory right are interested only in constitutional changes that suit them and if anything strive to be as little democratically accountable as possible.

Jeremy Corbyn is a lifelong brexist he has voted with the tory Europhobe right more times than any other Labour MP #Brexit might be said to be his most consistent belief
Corbyn's own brother said he would have campaigned to leave if he wasn't labour leader #brexit
Old friends and political allies are all of the same opinion Jeremy corbyn would have campaigned for #Brexit had he not been Labour leader

Thread: "#Brexit & #Chequers, the sellout. Dump it, let's move on".
...
I keep hearing "Where is the plan?" and a load of misinformation on #Brexit, pushed on UK media by irrelevant & biased commentators, elevated simply because they are avid Remoaners.
They aim to distract.
1/19
We already knew from those tasked with the negotiations, there had been a definite direction of travel & #Brexit plans were well advanced, prior to #Chequers.

2/19
David Davis & his team had been constantly rebuffed by Number 10, as they tried to pursue a proper #Brexit plan, but they HAD been making progress.

Okay, we've got far enough now that we can see No. 10's #Brexit strategy. /Thread
It's basically to bring things to a head as late as humanly possible - December to late January. At that stage they will squeeze Tory rebels with (among Euroenthusiasts) 'it's this or chaos' and (among Eurosceptics) 'it's this or no Brexit at all'.
Early signs - this will help with the pro-Europeans. Will probably work there. With the Eurosceptics? You can squeeze them, but probably not below 20-30, surely.

The #Brexit that is being implemented is not the one that was sold to the people. As it becomes even clearer that the Leave Campaign misled the electorate, the public must be granted a vote on the deal. Each day this week I will be outlining a broken promise from the gvt.
‘The UK will not be paying into the EU after March 2019.’ The Gvt. have conceded the UK will pay a divorce bill of around £40bn, with payments continuing until 2064 & the PM says the UK should make an ‘appropriate financial contribution’ for participation in EU agencies.
‘The UK will not have to abide by EU rules during transition’. The reality is that the UK will have to abide by all EU rules and regulations including those agreed by member states during transition.
