@RupaHuq Ruling out No Deal presumably comes from Parliament selecting their favoured Brexit in stage one.
@RupaHuq This approach removes the split between people’s voters and Norway fans. MPs backing a people’s vote might also back Norway if Brexit has to happen.
@RupaHuq Leaver MPs might also back this approach if they fear otherwise Brexit might simply be cancelled or if they want a let out from a No Deal outcome without losing face.

Now is the time for Remainers to redouble their energies, lobby their MPs and show up to Saturday’s #PeoplesVoteMarch. A resolution is finally in sight and it needn’t be a bad one.

Thread with template for an MP letter I emailed to mine. 1/n
Dear MP name [find email below]

A quick note on Saturday’s votes in which I’d urge you to demand an extension for full economic impact assessments of the Johnson Deal and a confirmatory referendum with our current deal in the EU as the alternative.

The good thing about Johnson’s Deal is that it further reduces the risk of No Deal. But just because No Deal is terrible it doesn’t mean we should accept any deal.

So many good things in this speech.

“We have to stop pretending that countries that hold an election where the winner somehow magically gets 90 percent of the vote because the opposition is locked up or can’t get on TV is a democracy.”
“Those who traffic in absolutes when it comes to policy, whether it’s on the left or the right, they make democracy unworkable.”
“We have to actually believe in an objective reality. You have to believe in facts. Without facts, there is no basis for cooperation. If I say this is a podium and you say this is an elephant, it’s going to be hard for us to cooperate.”

An interesting paper from Warwick University linking the timing and outcome of the #Brexit vote to the austerity programme that started after 2010
Compare and contrast Brexit vote with UKIP support in the 2014 euro elections. No surprise here. But why did UKIP support suddenly surge?
The analysis shows UKIP support rose sharply after austerity kicked in over 2011-13.
