Hi, @tomkeene I'm afraid Ian Duncan Smith is lying to you here.

Most people in the UK now want to have a second referendum, and remain in the EU.

Here's polling from YouGov.

Here are the figures for supporting a 2new referendum. d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_upload…
Zoomed in.
This is part of a long running trend. Leave has not been ahead in the polls since July 2017.

So please @tomkeene, @Brexit, @Bloomberg - can you set the record straight?

Bannerman - STILL - does not get it.
Last week the government published a document on the implication of no deal. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
On page 4 it explicitly addresses the misunderstanding of Article XXIV of GATT.

Hi @IanCollinsUK | @AnnaCookson | @BBCRadioKent

I heard the debate on your show between @CatherineMEP and @Nigel_Farage this morning. Mr Farage falsely stated that we can "apply Article XXIV of GATT", and trade as now for two years.

Full programme: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
"Very straightforward, very simple. we can go to the WTO and apply Article XXIV of the GATT Treaty which gives us 2 years minimum where everything will stay exactly the same until we can sort of a free trade deal".

@AnnaCookson challenged him on this but did not press him on it.
It's not so much that its "never been done before" as that it is a total red herring from start to finish, and based upon a misreading of Article XXIV of GATT

There are dozens of twitter threads, blogs, and articles on this from trade experts such as this

Amid reports that #UK PM @theresa_may hopes to renegotiate the "backstop" provision on the Northern Ireland border, let's recall that she already made clear what she wants in her letter to #EU leaders before disastrously losing the #Brexit Withdrawal Treaty ratification vote. 1/
"This could be mitigated by changes to the backstop itself," she wrote to @eucopresident & @JunckerEU "Proposals for a way in which the UK could choose to exit the backstop unilaterally were it ever to come into force, or for a hard time limit... 2/
on the duration of the usage of the backstop, have been raised and discussed in Parliament. We have also raised them previously in negotiations." So there are her proposals, i.e. the EU should basically just cave on backstop in face of House of Commons defeat. But but but ... 3/

How @DailyMailUK twisted the results of @Survation poll and created a nice little frontpage to support Theresa May with some beautiful YESes in red and some lovely supporting words, even though the front page does not actually reflects the results of the poll...
So, let's have a closer look at some of the questions asked and the ACTUAL answers of voters...
Q1. When UK Govt's negotiations over the terms of Britain's exit from #EU are complete, would you support or oppose holding a People's Vote - a referendum - asking the public their view?

- Support 48% 👈
- Oppose 34%
- Don't know 18%

Large margin 14% to support a #PeoplesVote!

Part 3: Who’s outperforming the Shadow Cabinet in terms of influencing the #Brexit debate?

Answer: A small handful of Conservative & Labour Backbench MPs...

For previous pieces (and methodology), see:

DExEU vs Shadow DExEU: and

Cabinet vs Shadow Cabinet:
So in yesterday's analysis, we saw how the Labour Frontbench had failed to drive column inches across online news outlets. Today, I look at how the Backbenchers and @LibDems are influencing the #Brexit debate.
