Right now, there are lots of MPs saying they want to #StopBrexit, but don't think there's a way do do it using existing Parliamentary procedures.

I will let you into a secret, MPs. Every single one of the existing Parliamentary procedures was made up at some point...
And guess what? You can do that as well. Stop being terrified of the ugly woman with the gigantic necklaces, for a start.

Now, organise yourselves by talking to each other. All of you need to go to the Commons chamber, stand there, refuse to carry out whatever business the...
...PM and her gang are trying to force on you. Tell Mr Speaker, you have all decided to have a vote on whether to leave the EU or #RemainInTheEU. Refuse to do anything else, for as long as it takes for him to agree with your demand.

Then vote. Remember, Parliament is sovereign.
That is a procedure that will stop the nonsense that is being forced through by the PM, on behalf of whoever it is that is controlling her.

Take back control, Parliament! The people want to #RemainInTheEU.

The reason we are in this mess...

Most MPs are useless party drones, collecting their pay and expenses, and voting the way they are told to.

When the #Brexit advisory referendum result was announced, the correct next step should have been a Parliamentary debate on whether...
...the UK should leave, or #RemainInTheEU. That, as far too few MPs will admit, is their job. They should make decisions on our behalf.

The majority of them know we should not leave the EU, because they know how much harm it will do to everyone but a few very rich people.
About 400 MPs think we should #RemainInTheEU, but most of that 400 think that hanging on to their seat, no matter how much harm they do, is the best thing to do. Because pay and expenses matter more to them than we do. Because they are scared of the whips.

People keep saying we should have a vote on the #Brexit "final deal".

I don't think we should wait. Why not?

Two reasons-

1/ We already know there is NO version of #Brexit that wouldn't do us all (apart from the very rich) real damage. If we #RemainInTheEU, we can get on with
repairing the damage that #Brexit has already done, which is considerable, and carry on with improving things for all Europeans.

2/ I suspect May's plan is to run us out of time, so we crash out with no deal, and hence no time to vote on it. All her delaying tactics have been
aimed at that result, including trying to extend MP's extremely long holidays, to prevent them from stopping her crazy game.

I think we can't get Parliament recalled, as the usual way to do that would need the Government to ask the Speaker, and May won't allow that.

Here's a thought or two for all you sensible #FBPE people...

Perhaps we should not place so much emphasis on demanding a vote on the "final deal".

In the first place, there's a quite high probability that May will either prove to be incapable of getting that far, and she might
not even intend to. It's quite possible she intends to delay until we crash out of the EU with no deal at all.

Secondly, we have a clear case, with good, solid evidence, that the very narrow "win" in the advisory referendum was totally invalid. Given that the win was dishonest,
there can be no excuse for our feeble negotiators to continue with their charade, and no reason why EU negotiators should waste any more of their time on such a fraudulent farce.

May's Article 50 letter should be withdrawn, now.

And that brings me to the third reason why we

Dear @jeremycorbyn,
Yesterday I rejoined the Labour Party after a 2 year absence due to your stance on Brexit. Please do not take my membership as an endorsement of your position, far from it; I joined so that I can influence from within the party. Let me explain...

I have spent every single day since June 24 2106 fighting to #StopBrexit. I have done so not so much because I am a huge fan of the EU, but because I value everything that our membership of this Union brings. I treasure the enhanced rights which have been afforded us.

I have benefited enormously from Freedom of Movement, my time living in France during my 20's was formative & given me an extended family. It also enabled me to gain a second language, which has benefited my career, which in turn has enabled me to give my son a better life.

As @GerardBattenMEP gets Tommy Robinson on board as an advisor to @Nigel_Farage's far right @UKIP, let's have a look at Tommy's convictions!

#StopBrexit
In 2005, @UKIP's Tommy Robinson was jailed for 12 months for assault occasioning actual bodily harm and assault with intent to resist arrest, for which he received a concurrent term of 3 months.
In 2010, @UKIP's Tommy Robinson was charged with assaulting a police officer. A police officer was taken to hospital after trying to intervene in the 50 man brawl.

Right let’s talk folks. About home. What’s in it anyway? Home is home right? Just like Brexit is Brexit, it can mean different things to different people. It’s just surprising how *many* people equate home with place. Home is not a house or town or country. 1/
Home is where you feel safe. It may be where your loved ones, your family, live but it doesn’t have to be. It may be temporary, where you’re staying, but it’s still home as it’s where you have decided to spend your life. Even if just for now. 2/
Home is where you can relax. Where you can love and sleep and eat in peace. Without fear or worry that any moment someone will come knocking at the door to take you away. 3/

Never mind the fact that it turns a 1.5 crossing into one taking at least 4.5 hours, why would Belgian or Dutch ports apply fewer checks than French ones in a no deal scenario? Also, you can’t move the Channel Tunnel to Zeebrugge. I don’t understand the point of this.
“Bypassing Calais” adds time (minimum x3) and therefore cost, plus you’re sailing to the same customs union, the same trading partner. If you have a problem in Calais you’ll have one in Zeebrugge and Vlissingen. The problem is at the UK end. #StopBrexit
“We could make a profit and screw over the French” says a source… A Tory minister who is evidently so hard at the thought of a fight with France that he’s ditching a central plank of Tory DNA since Thatcher and itching to nationalise key infrastructure.

1. Oh no you don't @MichelBarnier @guyverhofstadt @donaldtusk ..don't you dare sell out the majority of Brits who want to #StopBrexit & #Remain whether in the UK or in the EU. A #Brexit fudge won't be worth the paper its written on.
Stop pandering to May..she has no mandate.
