I will show zero mercy to the careers of MPs who say they 'ran out of time' to sort out Brexit.
I stated on 7 June 2016 that we'd end up choosing between having less Control/Sovereignty (deal) or making the UK less attractive for jobs/business (No Deal).
THAT WAS 3 YEARS AGO!
Every MP who used "will of the people" to justify pursuing Brexit, knowing that the only Brexits on offer go against the 2 main reasons why people voted to Leave: Sovereignty & Prosperity...
You've risked a Brexit nobody wants, triggering a blame game that'd last a generation.
So to ALL of you MPs, from the top to the bottom of UK politics,

Just remember: WE WILL REMEMBER.

Barry Gardiner just directly argued against Labour Party Conference Policy.

He said that the public shouldn't be voting on the government's deal, even though conference policy literally says to campaign to let the public vote on the government's deal. #R4today
Seriously. Just shut him up. I don't want to have to keep attacking. It's TWO ***** DAYS from the scheduled Brexit day so
A) Labour should be speaking with one voice
B) Labour conference policy lays out what the voice should be saying now!
"Barry Gardiner"
To those of you saying "the policy doesn't say that"
READ YOUR OWN POLICY! It explains why the government's deal should be put to the people. It's even quite flippant about that fact. It basically says "if the government's so sure it's what people want..."

Is the EU a dictatorship run by the unelected in Brussels?

But the Commission holds all the power?

I'm high. I must be. The hard Brexiteers have not actually called themselves the Grand Wizards aka the KKK. Clearly I've slipped and fallen into a big ol' pile of drugs and right now I'm trippin' bawz. That's the only logical explanation.
For the record, Kuenssberg has clarified it:
My interpretation being that she's not saying for sure that they call themselves that and it might have originated from a member of their staff.

MPs can often be heard saying "my constituents didn't vote to be poorer" which is code for "I think people in my constituency were conned by a red bus but as a superior intellect I will save the poor wretches from their foolishness". Then they wonder why they're despised

#Brexit
As it happens people make choices all the time that are not in their immediate financial interests. Plenty people give up high paying jobs for less stress or for a better work/life balance. Plenty of wealthy lefties vote for socialists and say they're ok paying more tax.
Some people just have different priorities and different values. And that's allowed if you're a well to do leftie - but not if you're from Sunderland or Rotherham - as though plebs simply aren't capable of thinking in those terms and should be second guessed by their betters.

Having calmed down slightly I now realise John McDonnells position of a Deal/no deal #Brexit ref if they can't force a GE is unrealistic independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
1/ chequers shows there is unlikely to be a deal acceptable to the EU and the europhobes in the tory party #Brexit so its likely that no deal #Brexit is the only available #Brexit and therefore there is unlikely to be a choice of deal or no deal to start with
2/ if May does comeback with a deal it will need labour support to pass Labour would have to choose between backing it thus forgoing any chance of bringing down the government and thus the GE they say they want and angering the labour movement or voting it down

1) a competent opposition would have forced the hand of the Tory Gov. 18 months ago by saying "no, we won't trigger Article 50 until we see a #Brexit plan"
Even if they'd lost the vote, they'd have the high ground
They'd now be making political capital with Leavers & Remainers
2) a competent opposition would now be saying "we knew the Tories had no plan, and now we are on a 2 year timescale, and time is running out - what a shambles"

An election winning #Brexit neutral position which makes Brexit about Tory incompetence & recklessness

Unfortunately..
3) this opposition can't attack the Tories for triggering A50 with no plan, because Labour went along with it

Not only did they allow the "overwhelming vote for A50" line to surface, they have nowhere to go in attacking the Government, because they voted for A50 with no plan too

Having spent two years remoaning about #brexit I have now quit complaining as I now see there are tremendous opportunities from leaving the European Union which will be embraced globally thread
Patrick Minford of economists for #brexit has stated that #brexit will mean the virtual end of UK manufacturing therefore many European countries will enjoy a relocation windfall
The great repeal Bill allows ministers to make ammend and unmake law without parliamentary approval meaning a huge #brexitopportunity opportunity for corrupt ministers to apply market mechanisms to political decision making

1) Thread - All Brexits are bad and what we voted for
It's often said by brexiters that "it's not all about economics"
However, the *actual* Leave campaign was almost wholly about economic arguments

With the leak of this 2-8% report those arguments are now trashed
2) We seem to have forgotten this however economics played a huge part in the Vote Leave campaign, making up over 2/3rds of the primary arguements. The clear message was we would at the least be no worse off and at best much better off. 4 of the 6 below state this clearly
3) & the fact is voters believed we would be no worse off. People prioritized immigration certainly, but against a backdrop of there being no consequences from Brexit - few are prepared to actually pay for ending FoM

Thanks to the ways we punish men for revealing their humanity as they grow up, many end up choosing between stoicism and perpetual boyhood.
Being guarded & stoical means missing out on real human connection, which demands vulnerability. One case study:

Many men are still boys. But before you go around saying you want a cowboy, consider the enormous frustration of actually having one.
