Unpopular opinion: everybody outraged about Marr's behaviour towards Shami Chakrabarti but she fucked up & was naive. Use the "I voted Remain but I'm a democrat" line if you must* but "I'm a democrat, I don't know about you, Andrew" foolishly makes it about the interviewer. (1/3)
Ppl who follow me will confirm I'm no fan of Marr: he's past-it, often out of his depth, sloppy & complacent (wings it on complicated subject), & not a fearless interviewer (too inclined to pull punches with the govt). Just type "from:eurosluggard marr" in your search bar. (2/3)
* Reason you shouldn't say "I voted Remain but I'm a democrat": uses false definition of democracy (pushed by ppl who don't believe in democracy but pretend to when it suits them) according to which if you lose a vote you have to to change your views & join the winning side.//

Reminder to The Sun: during the EUref campaign, Jo Cox was murdered not at random by some random individual but by a man who shouted “keep Britain independent” as he stabbed her.
Very telling that The Sun suddenly wants to highlight the latent extremism of a fringe minority now that support for Brexit is unravelling but didn’t make a fuss about this tendency when they were getting their way. Excuse me if I see their concern now as cynical & opportunistic.
I guess my point is that The Sun shouldn’t so much be saying “Ooh we have to do Brexit otherwise there’ll be violence”: it should be saying (to a different set of ppl) “look guys, even if you don’t get your way, violence isn’t ok so cool it.”

John Rentoul is impressed with the quality of Michael Gove's piece defending May's Brexit deal. He loves this: "Does it deliver 100% of what I wanted? No. But then we didn’t win 100% of the vote on 23 June 2016." This sounds plausible but is in fact a completely bogus argument.
You can only justifiably invoke your electoral mandate delivered at the ballot box if you campaigned honestly & unambiguously. If Leave had offered a clear, unitary, achievable prospectus then 52% would mean something.
But they didn't. Leave *deliberately* set out to reel in voters by playing to a wide range of different and mutually incompatible expectations. That's how they cobbled together 52%.

There. Is. No. Time. To. Cook. Up. A. “Modified. Norway. Solution.” #BrexitShambles
Also, as others have also pointed out in reply to George, Anders Fogh Rasmussen was PM of Denmark, not Norway.
If you let autocorrect run its course, when you type “Anders Fogh Rasmussen” you get “Andrew Foghorn Rasmussen”

Nice work @bbc. You just provided a platform to a liar. Who has just smeared me on live tv. Thank you so much
Add it to the bill

This whole episode is utterly shameful. And you owe me an apology #marr

Love that the one reference to @observerUK's significant new revelations on @arron_banks on #Marr is by Julia Hartley-Brewer smearing our work. Stay classy, #Marr
theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/n…
The "correction" meme that Hartley-Brewer references was put out by Guido who channels dirt on me that comes directly from @arron_banks. Note, that everything we 'corrected' was due to legal pushback from AIQ - but was later confirmed to be true by the ICO's interim report
So, essentially Julia is working here as an @arron_banks mouthpiece. Note @afneil picked up all the Guido stuff too.

Thread/ (apologies - I blame Brexit!)
It is now patently obvious that #Remain is the biggest, most dynamic political movement in these islands. The Tories have collectively lost their marbles, so in thrall are they to their malevolent, implacably ideological far-right wing,

& will be rejected as soon as the country is given the opportunity &, hopefully, destroyed.
Their arrogant, egregious behaviour since the infamous, criminally-backed referendum has been utterly breathtaking to behold.

Jeremy Corbyn, meanwhile, sticks his fingers in his ears, faffs about on his allotment, or dabbles self-importantly in what he considers to be worthy foreign causes, as he ignores the ticking time bomb issue of Brexit altogether, hoping he will just waltz

I've been doing a bit of number crunching to see what date, with no-one changing their minds, demographics will show that the British people voted to remain. That date is 27th January 2021. On that date, the UK voted #Remain. (1/3)
My workings are here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… My calcs are NOT perfect, but I feel they're a pretty good indicator. (2/3)
Of course, this all assumes that no-one has changed their minds, but as #ProjectFear turns into #ProjectReality it would be pretty mad to think no-one is changing their mind! (3/3)

1. All of this flagged up by #Remain before A50 passed by the CONS & Labour..I remember distinctly our warnings that if it went thru Control passed to the EU27. It goes to prove how much damage both parties are prepared to inflict on our country to impose their ideology on us all
2. This price to buy a Transition that merely allows our politicians to kick the real impact down the road so they can con ppl into thinking things will be fine after #Brexit. If we don't #StopBrexitSaveBritain we'll be out on 29/03/19 & it will be too late to avoid the cliff.
3. This is all about leaving the EU 29/03/19..once out we've lost our BEST POSSIBLE DEAL, it will be Pay & Obey No Say on many issues ad infinitum; we'll never get back in. At that point we lose Rights...we're already losing jobs to the EU as companies relocate at least in part.
