A few quick thoughts on #C4Brexit @Survation poll of 20,000 people interviewed between 20/10 to 2/11.
54% of those who would vote now backing Remain.
Survey shows England too has gone Remain.
70% @UKLabour voters are Remain.
But our political situation is stuck in time. /1

A striking feature from @Survation analysis is that support for leaving EU has fallen most sharply in local authorities that saw highest vote share for Leave

This excellent @chrishanretty thread analysing @Survation data shows that its predominantly @UKLabour areas in the North that have seen greatest change.
That doesn’t begin to be reflected in the Labour leadership’s nearsilence on all things Brexit. /3

Remember Cornwall on the day after #EURef?
That was reality dawning after a campaign in which facts had been submerged in spin, half-truths and downright lies.
As @Cornwall4EU point out, thee new survey shows every Cornwall constituency now Remain. /4

Farage told viewers that there had been a well funded Remain campaign in action over the last months. To this day, he still plays the victim.
The truth is that people have watched the facts unfold, Leave’s promises unravel & chaos rain down on the country. /5

Yet we see a political response that should shame many of those in power. The cliches found on both sides of the political divide - Brexit Means Brexit, a Jobs-first Brexit - should shame those uttered them.
Now MPs have a chance to correct this glib response. /6

Many people, though, have bravely fought to expose much of the wrongdoing and darkness in the #EUref - against the odds, like @DamianCollins, @carolecadwalla & others.
Many MPs have stood up & realised they can’t support such vast upheaval to their constituents’ detriment. /7

Today a great surge of MPs should realise it’s not enough to bring back some crumbled fudge. It’s not even correct to claim they are doing so on some dubious “will of the people” argument.
Stand up & look at the evidence, there in stacks.
@UKLabour, here’s looking at you. /8

People are realising they have been sold a con.
People are realising the PM can never come back with as good a deal as we have now.
People are realising there is no jobs-first Brexit.
People are realising the outside world matters to our mid-sized 21st century nation too. /9

To MPs, in @UKLabour & @Conservatives:
In the days to follow, Brexit will be seen as a colossal error - economically, socially, politically. How will you show, at least morally, you did the right thing if you remained silently fixed on a moment in time that now has passed? /10

In an ideal world, Parliament would have stood up a long time ago and said no.
No to the referendum.
No to Article 50.
No to the Withdrawal Act.
No to the govt’s chaos.
No to the govt’s secrecy.
Now say Yes, for a #PeoplesVote. There is still a chance to right these wrongs.

And now back to my day job. With both eyes cast nervously across the Atlantic.
Turn out to vote, America.
Turn out to vote. /ends
