1) Without doubt this is the most childish, petulant, ridiculous #Brexit position yet
Vote Leave promised a unicorn
Our MPs are venal cowards, I absolutely agree

But your answer is to inflict no deal on a public mostly against it? Juvenile

@DPJHodges 2) frankly, grow up
No deal #brexit is a nightmare the public either don't want or don't fully understand

Our MPs are mostly a craven shower who are avoiding reality

These are 2 distinct issues - the latter failure does not make the former disaster OK
@DPJHodges 3) by all means point out the cowardice of every MP who is not a #PeoplesVote or No deal supporter (ie most of Labour & Tory parties)

But stop throwing your toys out of the pram shouting "right give them #brexit good & hard, that'll learn 'em", it's ridiculous

1) All you need to know about Corbyn's integrity is this:
He was a life long eurosceptic
Under pressure from MPs he agreed to flip to Remain to save his skin after his shock leadership win

But now that he's secured Labour he wants #Brexit & he's not letting go
2) Corbyn's principles lasted right up until his shadow cab. came to him & said "campaign for Remain or we're resigning"

His entire leadership is defined by that half hearted flip to Remain

that he took the votes of young, enthusiastic Remainers makes it all the more sickening
3) Principles & integrity is easy when you're not put under pressure

Probably the one time in Corbyn's political career when he had to choose between ego and beliefs

And he failed, miserably

When it counted he chose Ego

And we're all paying the price

1) Thread
The options for #Brexit are still:
- May's deal as is
- No deal
- Remain
That's it, and whenever there is a focus on that Remain clearly comes out as the better option

But we don't focus on that because too many powerful groups want to pretend there's a unicorn 4th way
2) The hard brexiters want to pretend no deal is not really no deal but a "managed no deal" which will somehow force the EU27 into a "better" deal

Corbyn's front bench want to pretend there's a Labour "better" deal following new negotiations
3) the May government is about to support an ammendment to strike out the backstop, which everyone knows is simply not going to happen

And with respect to the Norway + supporters, whilst Remainers would accept this, it's not actually on the table as a confirmed option

1) Leave supporters, who are you following?
David Davis takes a lucrative "consulting" job with #Brexit supporting JCB
Dyson is moving to Singapore
Lawson tried for French citizenship
Mogg's hedge fund set up shop in Dublin
Redwood advised his investors to invest elsewhere
2) added to this the #Brexit leaders are foolish beyond belief

Raab didn't understand that Dover was important
Melanie Philips thought the EU exported 40% of their goods to us
Digby Jones & Toby Young thought Free Movement was a part of the Customs Union
3) David Davis thought we could sign trade deals with Germany
Leadsom thought there'd be no impact from Brexit

I could go on, but Brexit Leaders are revealed at every turn as idiots and chancers. There's not a single decent character amongst them.

Jeremy Corbyn's idea of breaking the #Brexit impasse with a GE on a platform of renegotiating WA is A/unlikey to happen B/ a REALLY bad strategy to win power C/ catastrofuckingly dangerous for the country for the following reasons
#Brexit GE needs Some tories to support it which is unlikely given thst keeping corbyn out is the one thing that unites they would have a leader who intends to step down which is unlikely
The DUP definitely don't want a GE as they lose their leverage and ability to extract bribes

#brexit seems to be all about feeling over fact and this is especially true of the ReesMogg ERG faction of the Tory right.
I never bought the line that #brexit is about Democracy because most of the Tory right had zero enthusiasm for improving democracy in the UK few of them care about unelected house of lords the unfair FPTP electoral system or transparency on the contrary
Most of the Tory right are interested only in constitutional changes that suit them and if anything strive to be as little democratically accountable as possible.

 . @neil_parish MP for Tiverton & Honiton

When you voted to trigger A50 you knew that the
Govt ref. leaflet sent to every household did not mention the
Good Friday Agreement & how leaving the EU will impact it.

Why did you vote to trigger A50?
Ken Clarke MP didn't.

 @neil_parish MP for Tiverton & Honiton

When you voted to trigger A50
you knew that regulatory alignment would be required for
Northern Ireland, as highlighted by the phase 1 report from 2017,
requiring both the SM & CU.
Does it not make sense to stay in the CU & SM?

 @neil_parish MP for Tiverton & Honiton

When you voted to trigger A50
you knew that it would have customs implications for everything from cars to fresh food.

If there is no deal how long will supermarkets have fresh produce on their shelves?

1. The greatest insult to Britain is the promotion of the narrative that any of Vote Leave's activities had any bearing on the result whatsoever. It was probably the most ineffectual campaign in the history of British campaigning. VL had no idea how to run a #Brexit campaign.
2. In the run up to the vote the VL twitter feed was photos of mostly white, mostly middle class 19 year old boys in red t-shirts manning deserted stalls in the Home Counties which had zero online impact.
3. Of the street level activism, no not roll-up smoking, flat cap wearing elderly Yorkshireman on a rainy Wednesday in Castleford street is going to have his mind changed by a clean shaven Toryboy bussed in from London.

#Brexit Thread: a list of 20 random reasons why I voted to leave the EU

1. The impossibility of meaningful treaty reform. We cannot edit the supranationalist DNA of the EU
2. The exclusion of the public from decisions relating to further integration. See Treaty of Lisbon.
3. The way in which the EU will seek homogenisation and integration for its own sake and for that of EU ideology over practical necessity.

Once again the @frontlineclub is packed with journalists, @Byline_Media folk, and TV cameras for the latest revelations in the Cambridge Analytica / Trump / Brexit saga from two whistleblowers.

Follow this thread for live-tweeting coverage, and forgive my typos...
... first thing to note is that security has been increased a level or two since last week’s gathering. Two checkpoints against the guest list, and a minder scanning the room.

We’re about to kick off...
... the focus of attention tonight is Shahmir Sanni, joined again by @chrisinsilico who was the focus last week. @carolecadwalla will be joining later when she’s filed at the @guardian
Chris is carrying a large ring binder of documents...
