People's Vote march was attended by a third of number that organisers claimed, official estimate says - telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/… ... still 250,000 isn't a bad turn out.
I'm all for expressing desire and involvement in politics but I'm a tad unhappy that the #peoplesvote seems to attack Corbyn but rarely Tories, it seems to talk up an exodus from Labour and I'm not convinced it is representative of ordinary folk - beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/096411…
i.e. Roland Rudd, who turns out to be a very wealth public relations executive and brother of Amber, Conservative MP -
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Ru… or Richard Reed, another multi millionaire but previously cited as a potential funder for a centrist party - theguardian.com/politics/2018/… ...
... has anyone from mainstream media actually looked into the group behind #peoplesvote? I certainly don't have time but I'm curious now. It has been nagging me for a few weeks especially as recent claims just don't seem to fit the reality I see.
X : Why do you think #Peoplesvote attack Corbyn?
Me : Just my impression but from its website - peoples-vote.uk/news - Labour will be punished, Labour needs to listen. I admit I have my own bias as a member of LP but I see strong support for Corbyn. It just doesn't make sense.
... hence I'm curious now and wonder if anyone from mainstream has looked into this whole thing. Again, I have bias but something seems a bit odd or maybe I'm living in a bubble.
X : Do you think the surveys are biased?
Me : I have no personal reason to believe that. In my experience (anecdata) there is a lot of support for a 2nd vote in Labour but even more support for Corbyn and the path he is taking.

The most popular option every time - backed on average by just over a quarter - has been to leave without a deal at all - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi… ... well, I'd prefer GE followed by Corbyn + Brexit (preferably WTO but EEA docked to EFTA is fine) but that's a bit specialised.
... what I do find amazing is that "no deal" still tops the options after years of continuous campaigning both online and offline to overturn the referendum against no effective opposition. That is fairly spectacular, almost unprecedented.
But as always, do remember these are polls and not reality. Lest we forget 23/Jun/16 ...
Populus had Remain 10% ahead
ComRes had Remain 6%+
YouGov had Remain 4%+
Ipsos Mori had Remain 4%+
... One of the few dissenting voices was Opinium, who produced that recent poll.

X : Who created Wardley Maps?
Me : Err ... the clue is in the name?
X : Are they new?
Me : In terms of historical scales - yes. It's only 14 years old.
X : Why haven't I heard of them before?
Me : Because the world is large and techniques take time to diffuse?
X : Could you create me a map of my organisation?
Me : I could but it wouldn't help you.
X : Why?
Me : Because you wouldn't know what to do with it. You really need to learn to map for yourself.
X : How do I do that?
Me : Start here - medium.com/wardleymaps - just add practice.
X : How long will it take?
Me : To become really good at mapping, for it to become natural .. many years.
X : I don't have the time, how do I speed it up?
Me : Well, you could decide to actually start and use it i.e. practice. There is no shortcut for practice.

+1 -> "our ancestor chiefs understood bows, horses, and agriculture, our contemporary chiefs (and those in the media responsible for scrutiny) generally do not understand their equivalents, and are often less experienced in managing complex organisations than their predecessors"
+100 -> "We do not have a problem with ‘too much cynicism’ - we
have a problem with too much trust in people and institutions that are not fit to control so much."
+∞ -> "Most politicians, officials, and advisers operate with fragments of philosophy, little knowledge of maths or science and little experience in well-managed complex organisations."

With the Brexit debate returning to Parliament today, let's go back to basics and explore the facts, key issues, and questions that should be raised in the coming days. Thread... 1/
Most important point, which cannot be emphasised enough - the Withdrawal Agreement is primarily concerned with the terms of the divorce, e.g. financial, citizenship, and not the future (though the Irish backstop complicates this) 2/
Thus any statement a Minister makes about the future relationship being secured (such as that below from the Gov's 40 reasons to back the Brexit deal) is false. The political declaration setting out the future relationship is not binding. 3/

UK credit rating at risk if it fails to pay Brexit bill. UK gov source confirms threat is a bluff. But Brussels thinks it is all for the domestic audience. A dangerous game w/ repurcussions for Global Britain & trade
Latest from me @Annaisaac & a thread telegraph.co.uk/business/2018/…
Moody's told Anna that welching on the bill would shred UK credibility and that damage is already being done to investment and trade prospects. This was after Dominic Raab's op-ed 2/
telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
A senior UK gov source told me the threat was part of a game of chicken to convince the EU we were serious about no deal.
“Not paying a penny is not realistic,” the source said, “All the stuff you are hearing is about frightening the Commission,” 3/ “

1/ Welcome to the weekend edition in the independent republic of Brexitlandia 🦁=🐭
2/ There is a growing sense that nearly all MPs have now undergone the Brexit lobotomy as Brexit continues to impair all critical thinking in the national interest 🤤🤤🤤
3/ Remarkably MPs on both sides of the debate think that wealthy donors to the campaigns should be given a retrospective tax break 😡😡😡google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theg…
