#C4brexit thread
1) Labour #Brexit "policy" finally exposed, the shiniest unicorns of all

Tonight we finally saw Barry Gardiner lay out Labour brexit policy, and its nothing short of an utter and complete fantasy which makes Vote Leave's pack of lies look reasonable

2) May government is offering the deal which at least represents something concrete if compromised

Mogg - no deal, terrifying but at least a "pure" brexit

Lucas - #PeoplesVote, a chance to step back and Remain

All 3 have a vision which can be discussed and assessed

Labour?

3) Labour are offering a brand new Customs Union which allows us to set our own trade deals and Veto the EUs

Full benefits of the SM but without FoM and a free pass on subsidising any industry

Why will we get this unicorn deal?

"we're the 5th largest economy"
Yes, he said that

4) even Johnson & Gove didn't dream of offering unicorns this shiny

The only thing Gardiner didn't say was "have our cake & eat it"

And how will Labour deliver this? Obviously via a General Election - well, kind of

Because actually Barry isn't all that bothered about Brexit

5) Barry Gardiner actually said, on the great #Brexit Debate "let's have a general election, not just about the little details of Brexit but all these other issues, that's the right approach"

Yes, he actually said that as well, with crash out less than 4 months away

6) Gardiner also said, and this is a first since June 2016, that we could be *better off* after Brexit, because we'd be able to spend on state aid left right and centre whilst still having the magic close relationship with the SM

7) Mogg & Cleverly could with some honesty attack Lucas over a 2nd ref, its a flawed argument but at least its an argument

But a 2nd ref is part of Labour policy, despite Corbyn trying to airbrush it, so all Gardiner could counter with is "let's have a GE, that's the answer"

8) I could carry on having fun with this, but it's not funny, it's tragic - Labour are the only entity involved now who do not have a Brexit position, just cobwebs & candyfloss

Gardiner couldn't debate because Labour's position is non existent, a complete mirage

9) May's position is the result of ducking, diving & deceiving to the very last moment

Labour's lack of position is the result of a Leader only interested in state aid & ending FoM desperately holding back a pro remain party and its slavish leadership

It's a joke, a disgrace

10) for the love of God & all our sakes whoever runs the #PeoplesVote campaign, don't let Gardiner, Corbyn or any of his drones anywhere near the campaign, they will sabotage, block, undermine at every turn. Labour Leadership is now officially a menace for that campaign
