Stop trying to undermine one of our greatest freedoms!
Still pretty unhappy about this. Remain 'Plus'? That would be joining the euro and Schengen, not restricting Freedom of Movement
It's very simple - if you don't like Poles and Romanians being able to live here then don't support membership of a literal union with those states
This exceptionalist rubbish is what happens when you spend too much time with Tony Blair and not enough with actual activists

So we're clear on the argument here: the logic (and it's not just Tice who does this) is that because we import *anything* from countries on WTO rules, therefore we could do *all trade* on WTO rules /1
The problem here is that they're arguing against a strawman (the idea that going to WTO rules would stop a trade). The actual argument is that WTO rules raise barriers to trade that impact time (to shelves) and price of goods /2
Going from highly aligned and integrated free trade (Single Market) to WTO doesn't stop all trade, it significantly raises the barriers to trade /3

Great move for transparency, voted through by the European Parliament today
Unfortunately right-wingers voted for the transparency decision to use a secret ballot so can't call out those who voted against this measure
And this whole move for transparency was pushed by UK Labour MEP @RCorbettMEP !

If Norway Tories worked with the ERG to produce this, then maybe they deserved the attacks from PV?

Because this is genuine 'typically found in a black plastic bag' garbage
Plan A is a rehash of ERG unicorns. Their 'better Brexit' plan was forgotten about not even 24 hours after it was announced. It hasn't improved in the meantime. It's effectively an alternative WA presented as a few bullet points (to replace 500+ page treaty). The EU will say no.
Plan B is next level absurdity, trying to pay for the transition period without a WA, which the EU have already said is not on offer. This is No Deal where the EU let's the UK avoid many of the consequences simply because the UK is hopelessly unprepared. Again, the EU will say no

A short thread on things I am NEVER going to subscribe to as a #remain campaigner. & why
#peoplesvote #FBPE #Stopbrexit #RevokeA50
7/10 - no - not this one - I give the EU 10/10 - we have been lied to for years about what the EU does for us, from Freedom of Movement (which is excellent for us) to money for deprived areas.

1/n
"Remain and reform" - not this message either. "This is a brilliant house to buy - just needs the back wall rebuilding". Wrong message. Untrue message. The EU is constantly reforming & evolving, the so-called democracy that isn't doing so is the UK parliament 2/n

At Benito Juárez shelter in Tijuana where police are trying to evict refugees and migrants who have permission to live here, on a pretext of health concerns. We are anxiously awaiting word on an injunction filed by Mexican attorneys to stop the eviction
Police deadline to evict was noon, but large media presence here may be deterring them from tossing in the tear gas just yet. Lots of families here
Mood is tense but residents are spending time cleaning up, sweeping, some dude is playing a ukulele

I actually have his book on the desk behind me. Much like Machiavelli's The Prince, it's a manual on how to be a complete and utter bastard (and win). Many of the chapters point to why Leave won, others to why Remain lost. Based on its content, #FBPE need to get its hands dirty.
The article is very different, and it's Leavers that are the narcissists - they hold a belief in something and won't accept being called up on it, deny any facts they're shown as fake news and propaganda, while never questioning their own sources.
I have #FBPE in my bio, and it's because I value Freedom of Movement. I have benefited from it, as have my friends and family. I want to keep it, I want my fellow UK citizens to keep it, and I want EU residents in the UK to keep it too.

This November, millions of Americans’ access to health care is on the line. Each day from #100DaysOut to midterm elections, we’ll share the story of a Little Lobbyist who needs YOU to be a #HealthCareVoter for them. THREAD 0/100
#100DaysOut “Meet our kids and think of them when you vote. Our children deserve that.” @ElenaHung202 bsun.md/2LTlco6

This November, Xiomara's access to health care is #WhatsAtStake. She needs you to be a #HealthCareVoter. 1/100

#100daysout Timmy would’ve lost his insurance in the NICU if he hadn’t been born just 6 days after the #ACA banned lifetime caps on care. bit.ly/2sAzoJV

Timmy's access to health care is #whatsatstake this November. Be a #HealthCareVoter. 2/100

#Remain voted for:

A say in whether the EU enlarges or not.
A say in if the EU federalises or remains a union of independent states.
A say in if there is an EU army.
Being the financial capital through which the majority of € is traded while still keeping the £.

#BrexitReality
#EnlargedEurope

The UK has taken the lead in efforts for EU enlargement. It pushed for the inclusion of Eastern European states. It pushed for Turkey to get its shit together so that it could join (which it made very slow progress with, and has largely been undone by Erdogan)
After #Brexit, the UK will have no influence on EU enlargement. In fact, as setting the EU as a rival, every country that joins the EU will a) strengthen the EU, and b) unravels any trade deals that the UK will have made with that country, isolating it further.

1. Worst national leadership in my lifetime forcing through the most damaging, misguided & missold policy I can remember. Ideology & vested self interest replace statesmanship, soundbites replace sound judgement & autocracy subverts democracy.
#Brexit harms us irreparably #FBPE
2. A flawed Leave campaign based on lies, deceit, disingenuity & over simplification & a #Remain one fought w/o any positivity from the Govt & no real commitment from Labour, whose leader was virtually AWOL, did no justice to #Brexit complexity & betrayed our democratic process.
3. A mere 37% of voters/26.5% of the Ppl voted leave in a legally Non-Binding test of public opinion which has been corrupted, on the basis of an illegitimate political promise & interpreted as being the irrefutable Will of the Ppl.
The 1st is insufficient to claim the latter!
