A majority of Labour voters now want to stay in the EU
A majority of Tory voters want #Brexit
150 CLPs asked for a #PeoplesVote

Imagine if you can a world where the Labour Leadership was aligned with its members & voters, instead of Tory policy & voters

newstatesman.com/spotlight/devo…
Then imagine a world where a strong Labour Leadership attacked the incompetence, the off shoring by brexiters, the illegality of the Leave campaign & the selfish ERG in fighting and said, clearly, "they lied to you, any #Brexit will serve them, not you"

newstatesman.com/spotlight/devo…
We got this far, where #Brexit is being questioned & a #PeoplesVote is being openly discussed, despite having everything against Remain
What could we achieve with Labour behind us? We wouldn't have to do this.

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

Thoughts on #uncivilwar #Brexit
1) I thought it was good on the whole. Lots of details not covered, focused a lot on Cummings & didn't cover the corruption in Vote Leave enough but at the end of the day it's a drama, not a documentary
2) there's a lot of stuff Brexit geeks like me would have like to have seen covered but as it was, there was a lot of material in there which they covered at breakneck speed.

Couple of things jumped out for me though
3) Firstly the mood at the end of the film captured I think the mood in the country now. There is no joy in #Brexit, no triumphant outpouring.

No one is getting what they want, and Leave supporters are blaming others for Brexit not working

1) You have a mortgage, several credit cards & a pay day loan so you go to the bank to restructure your finances

You can't get to an agreement & you can't afford the payments so you stop paying

But you still have the debt & now a busted credit score

This is no deal & the £39b
2) there's this idea that we save £39b if we #Brexit with no deal.
The obligation still exists, we've already agreed this. We're not "buying a deal" we're meeting commitments.
If we crash out & don't pay we're just sending a message, the UK is untrustworthy as well as incompetent
3) if you're the kind of person who thinks it's OK for the UK to walk away from a debt its already agreed to then you're probably the kind of person who doesn't pay his fair share of a meal, or gets his round in, or returns that borrowed drill

A bit of a shit basically

We’re heading for Parliament vs Government (first time since 1940?). My thoughts in a thread. 1/14
Most Tory MPs will back May’s deal. Because they understand EU enough to see there isn’t a better Brexit & they believe their voters don’t want them to oppose Brexit. 2/
But Parliament will vote May’s deal down. Labour opposes it. Anti-Brexit Tories will join them, plus some anti-deal hard Brexiters who don’t understand EU or UK’s position in the world. 3/

1. Have a read of this, all you #PeoplesVote afficionados. This is what the Tories will eventually have in store for us. The problem isn't whether we leave or remain in the EU; the problem is burgeoning fascism, even within EU countries such as Hungary and Poland.
2. Who was the first leader May visited when she became PM? Trump. Who was the second? Erdogan. Who supported Orban against the EU's censure for not respecting EU democratic values? The Tory MEPs.
3. What can stop this happening in the UK? A Labour government. Who is #PeoplesVote being led by? Campbell, Blair, Mandelson and all the people who want to stop a Corbyn-led Labour government at all costs.

1. There are some who think that Parliament would never allow the UK to crash out of the EU without a deal.
2. There are others who think that the UK will crash out with no deal, but it will be o.k., because very quickly the UK will go back to the EU with a begging bowl, and Brexit In Name Only, or Brino, will be drafted up super quick and agreed to.
3. This won't happen, because this craven set of Brexit politicians cannot listen to reason, and all they will do is blame the EU for their own stupidity when the EU refuses their conflicting irrational demands, such as leaving a club, but still keeping the value of membership.

Delia here decided to talk about her #brexit regret first thing Christmas morning. She sets out her reasons for her #leave vote in a number of tweets which I will thread below. All good reasons but now wants to #Remain - reason 1 ⬇️ #FBPE #stopbrexit
The good thing that Delia has done is being brave in coming forward on such a divisive issue. She has joined so many that are coming forward in saying she is a #remainernow - here ⬇️ is reason 2 for her original vote.
As Delia says here ⬇️ as someone who works in & cares about the #nhs she wanted to give it £££ (completely understandable) but like others she wasn’t aware this promise would not be honoured nor was she aware of the complexities like the Irish border!
