This week we're going to see the end of a delusion: that @theresa_may would ever deliver the hard Brexit the Tory right want. She's not going to - and No Deal is a bluff. That's why they're mobilising the No Confidence vote in May... 1/
2/ It will mark the definitive defeat of the Trump project in Britain: these are the anti-abortionists, homophobes and open racists and their dream just died. Good. But what's equally clear is...
3/ ... @theresa_may cannot get the deal she's done through the Commons. The only deal that can get through the Commons is one that leaves the UK closer to Europe, including the Single Market. And the only political leader that can deliver it is @jeremycorbyn ... but...
4/ ... The Tories are trapped in power by the fixed-term parliament law: they can't govern and they can't bring themselves to give up power. So the 15m voters who still support Brexit have to learn from this experience...
5/ If you still want Brexit it's going to have to be one that leaves us mirroring the Single Market or better still inside it (the Norway option). The dream of walking away from Europe was just a lie, and the liars have been found out...
6/ But now the lie is exposed, the time has come for people who wanted hard Brexit accept the project is over. Once MPs vote down May's deal, and rule out a No Deal exit, we need a change of government... however...
7/ All roads must lead to a second referendum: election, Labour government, new Brexit deal... Labour's conference voted to keep open a second referendum because you would have to put that deal to the people to seal it...
8/ Alternatively, if the Tories want to cling to power, supported by a few Blairites and the DUP, they can still be forced to put the deal agreed with Brussels to a second referendum... We know what's coming though....
9/ ... the government will try to engineer a market crash and a currency crisis; watch the last days of the Scottish #indyref for the blueprint. "Business" will be rolled out to plead with us to accept whatever shitty deal is currently on offer... I say...
10/ Reject the blackmail. There are two options and in the pubs, clubs and school gates people need to get their heads around them: staying in or a deal that leaves effectively in the Single Market. All other "what if?" conversations are fantasy. ENDS
