Peak metropolitan elitist. No-one voted Remain because Free Movement of People was “just a bit too free”.
No-one in EU will welcome UK Gov charging back in trying to upset Hungarian and Polish workers. “Remove Citizens Rights” is an accusation no-one wants for the EuroParl elections.
Miller & Saatchi aren’t going to get a new EU Treaty.

Current Treaty guarantees FMoPeople and bars discrimination. Promising change won’t change UK minds. What matters is persuading more people that FMoPeople isn’t a threat.

Very big news for EU refugee policy. #Italy hardliner #Salvini backs relocation - breaking from Orbán’s #Hungary push-back policy. But what does it mean? #SeaWatch3 Thread 1/18
Salvini - Dep PM & Interior Min - claimed in Jun ‘18 that Italy’s ports are “closed” to rescued people. He even turned away Italian coastguard boat “Diciotti”. 2/
And last week Salvini blocked #SeaWatch3 from embarking the people rescued from shipwreck. They applied straight to the European Court of Human Rights and... Salvini & EU states found a solution. 3/

#Brady united British nationalists but kills May’s deal. Parliament will have to choose between No Deal and abandoning at least some of May’s red lines. Thread 1/
British nationalists own UK’s negotiating position today. Brady has united May, Mogg, Johnson, Gove, Leadsom, DUP - and Skinner.

They own any victory - and they own any failure. They cannot credibly blame that on Remonaers and back-stabbers. 2/
Brady has already failed. May will tour EU capitals - every one slam the door.

EU27 will show UK how EU deals with states that try and mess the EU around & divide it. 3/

How about a #Remain manifesto, agreed & promoted by all major Remain groups? #RemainManifesto

The purpose would be to explain how, if we Remain, we can address Leave's concerns and can commit a future govnt to enact them, to the letter. 1/20
The manifesto could address the main reasons we have been told for the Leave vote.

It could focus purely on the key areas - immigration, sovereignty, EU federal plans, EU wastefulness.
It could detail precise ways in which we can protect ourselves from these concerns. 2/20
hy not compromise by changing Britain as it is today, but not by leaving the EU? And save the cost & risk of Brexit.

But I think we should only address the areas directly detailed as being the reasons for the Leave vote. Not what we suspect may be underlying. 3/20

@Femi_Sorry
I have a moral problem with the idea that people can vote to take away the rights of their fellow citizens.
The human rights protections within the EU charter and treaties, the judicial protection of the European Court of Justice, the right to live and work in other countries...
Maybe this is why the Brexit debate has been so fierce and personal. Because it wasn't just a vote against Europe. It was a vote against each other. That wasn't the intention. But it is certainly the effect.
It comes down to identity.
If you were born after 1974 then for your entire adult life, you've been a British AND EU Citizen. That is the EXACT demographic that voted Remain. Brexit is identity theft.
(Yes, I know: 25% of 18-24-year-olds voted Leave and 40% of 65+s voted Remain.)

Leavers were misled. Fact-based #BrexitRejection drives many to Remain. #TriggerIsComing. #PeoplesVote will follow.
Life is a hard journey. We ALL have to admit IT, when wrong! Only alternative is digging in, ever deeper, to that wrongful position (aka 'bad decision bias'). I say to Leavers, now, take another fresh look and rethink! This is ALL our futures! #TriggerIsComing #PeoplesVote soon!
51.9% v 48.1% in an ADVISORY referendum, held more than 2 years ago, is clearly NOT today's #WOTP, so a #PeoplesVote is NOW a MUST HAVE, re any final EU destination - incl. #Remain. Will that happen? YES! #TriggerIsComing, soon.

Russian directive 4 #EU: dismantle, separate UK, the weaken Germany while increasing presence from West 2 East #US directive: dismantle NATO, weaken US relationships around globe & especially with Canada while strategizing 2 move north 2 retake Alaska & northern Canada
Trump has been so enamored w/ the power of Putin he doesn’t realize this trade war with China is exactly what Putin wanted. In 2016 US made deal with China 2B their #1 provider of #NaturalGas & #Oil but now with tariffs & trade war all that surplus will be devoured by tariffs
Did he really think Putin would B ok with the U.S. backdooring him? No! While we’re busy with #CivilUnrest Putin will manipulate the #MidEast & #EU & then when he’s got it all in place & we think they’re our BFF’s they’re going 2 turn on an isolated America 1st & all alone

I've been doing a bit of number crunching to see what date, with no-one changing their minds, demographics will show that the British people voted to remain. That date is 27th January 2021. On that date, the UK voted #Remain. (1/3)
My workings are here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… My calcs are NOT perfect, but I feel they're a pretty good indicator. (2/3)
Of course, this all assumes that no-one has changed their minds, but as #ProjectFear turns into #ProjectReality it would be pretty mad to think no-one is changing their mind! (3/3)

#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.
