New poll: "If a second referendum were held with the options of accepting Theresa May’s deal or remaining in the EU on the ballot paper, 46% said they would back remain, against 36% who would vote to leave on the terms of the prime minister’s proposal."
theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
Playing with the numbers to make those figures add up to a hundred percent, that works out at 56.1% support for remaining in the EU, and 43.9% support for leaving the EU on Theresa May's deal.
That probably reflects a combination of factors, including the general mood swing from leave to remain that has been picked up consistently in polls since shortly after the referendum, but also the perceived rubbishness of Theresa May's Brexit deal.
However, the news is not all rosy. The same poll found a dead heat (43% apiece) between holding a second referendum and leaving without delay (and therefore without a deal) on 29 March.

🚨🚨🚨 BREXIT DAY (currently on no-deal terms) 🚨🚨🚨

Wake up, you dozy lot! This isn't the time for sitting on your hands and having a good think after MV3. It's time for action NOW!
If you're an MP planning to delay Brexit or stop no deal, what's your plan?
Will your plan still work if your amendment isn't called?
Will it still work if MV3 never happens?
Does it rely on the Govt obeying an advisory vote?
Can it be delayed or derailed by Parliamentary tricks?
Does it rely on multiple stages, all of which have to fall "just right"? (e.g. vote for a second referendum; second referendum has to include "remain" as an option)
What happens if the Government falls in a VONC?
What happens if the EU refuse an extension of A50?

The UK's new no-deal Brexit tariff regime will impose a crippling 22% tariff on imported HGVs. Adds £15,000 to the cost of an average vehicle - an amount that the haulage industry says it will be incapable of absorbing.
cittimagazine.co.uk/22pc-hgv-tarif…
This isn't scaremongering. This isn't Project Fear. 22% is the tariff the UK Government has officially announced it will be levying. You can find it on the list of post-Brexit tariffs on the Government website.
gov.uk/government/pub…
To put it into context, there are between 40,000-50,000 new vehicles purchased a year that fit into the weight class affected by the new 22% tariff. (Not all them will have been imported from the EU, of course, but a lot will.)

Comprehensive busting of the many lies and myths in the list of claims about the Lisbon Treaty that's spreading virally on social media. Most things on the list are utter bilgewater. The rest are wildly out of context.
fullfact.org/europe/viral-l…
Reminder: it's not just average folk sharing the Lisbon Treaty nonsense. Esther McVey did too. (She later deleted the tweet without admitting to having done so, because delete's the new unsay). Here it is restored to its original glory. More info at link.
Note number of shares/retweets on the now deleted tweet. It clearly reached tens of thousands of people before she quietly pulled it. Seems to happen a lot (not just her): Brexiter MPs share dodgy propaganda, let it circulate widely, then delete it and pretend nothing happened.

Second referendum rejected by 249.

People can claim long game fantasy crap all they like but the EU will be looking at this and ticking off another reason not to entertain a long extension for Britain to work through this identity crisis.
In the eyes of the undecided public, a second referendum just went up in flames. It’s over.

The waterhole is poisoned, the barter-weight with the EU27 gone.

Fucking terrible optic.
Now Benn.

It’s jabbershit. Well intended, but jabbershit nonetheless.

A parliament which has not ten minutes ago shown it can’t find consensus where consensus exists wants an amendment to force it be allowed to find consensus where no consensus exists.

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

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!

Let’s add a little context to the discussion of voting security in the US. To do that, I’m going to do something Computer Scientists are bad at - I’m going to talk about history. Specifically, let’s look at the Help America #Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002. 1/
The reason to talk about HAVA is to start recognizing some of the challenges of paper ballot-based voting. HAVA came about largely because paper ballots were proving to be extremely difficult to manage. 2/
For instance, paper ballots are expensive (they’re not printed on standard college-rule paper), and they’re not reusable across elections. You’ve also got to try and guess who is going to show up to the poll, and how many ballots you’ll need in each language. 3/

Supporting Tory/UKIP Brexit is unacceptable class collaboration.
Full stop.

I like this. This is fighting talk

TSSA General Secretary, Manuel Cortes:

"Our focus is our people, their rights and those of their families, which includes retaining their ability to move across EU borders freely”.

TSSA was and is in favour of remaining in the EU.
