ERG are coming around to Theresa May's Brexit frankendeal, not because it's any better than it was, but because they've realised:
A) The UK's future relationship will only be shaped in step 2
B) TM won't lead those negotiations
C) There's no wriggling out of Brexit once we leave
So once the UK's out, they think they can install their headbanger in chief as PM, and have their shiny hard Brexit they've been lusting over since they could walk.
So more moderate MPs need to wise up to this, and withdraw their support for MV3 even if they voted for MV2.

When it comes to the environment, workers' rights, human rights, food standards etc. do you trust the current UK Government *and all future UK Governments* to always look out for the best interests of the UK more than the EU does?
Once we leave, nobody's watching the watchmen. We will set our own environmental standards, oversee our own food standards, with our own monitoring and compliance bodies. Right now, EU law sets a minimum "floor" below which the UK cannot go.
We can aim higher than that floor, of course - the EU sets minimum not maximum standards. But we can't erode things below that safety net. Outside the EU, we're putting 100% faith in our Government never to bow to outside interests and whittle away at our protections.

The EU warns of what we know to be true: a UK Government administering its own post-Brexit environmental laws could sell us all down the river compared to the EU protection we currently enjoy. If not the current Government, any future Government could.
theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
Why? Because no UK Government can "tie the hands" of a future Government under domestic law. EU law would trump that. So right now, what the EU environmental laws do is provide a FLOOR below which we cannot weaken our own laws. (We can make ours stronger than that, if we want.)
After Brexit, that protection is gone. There is no floor any more. Boils down to this: "Do you trust the current UK Government, and all future UK Governments to come, to always look out for the best interests of the UK more than the EU does?"

Late for breakfast, so my brain may be fuzzy. But do you concur with my logic here? Looking at "revoke A50" petition signing patterns, it becomes interesting when the number of signatures exceeds the number of votes for the 2nd place candidate at GE2017.
livefrombrexit.com/petitions/2415…
That would appear to mean that, assuming those signing the petition also vote the same way, the votes garnered by the second place candidate can only increase (assuming they're the soft/no Brexit candidate)
So for example (fictional numbers)

Candidate A: 17,472
Candidate B: 12,624
Petition signatures: 14,232

That would suggest that Candidate B should get at least 14,232 votes at the next GE if they're the obvious "stop the disaster of a hard Brexit" candidate.

What do you think?

#Brexit ricapitoliamo:

1) accordo May è unico possibile per linee rosse fissate da May

2) accordo May è svantaggioso per Uk perché nulla è più vantaggioso di appartenenza a Ue

3) se Uk vuole sovranità assoluta deve uscire con no-deal

4) no-deal è distruttivo per Uk
#Brexit ricapitoliamo:

5) May ha fissato linee rosse da sola: uscita da mercato interno per riprendere controllo su immigrazione Ue e uscita Unione doganale per accordi commerciali

6) linee rosse sono state fissate da May per mantenere unito il partito conservatore, non per Uk
#Brexit ricapitoliamo:

7) linee rosse di May sono diventate rosa con backstop perché incompatibili con assenza frontiera fisica Irlanda-Irlanda del Nord

8) i Brexiters Tories se ne sono accorti e votano contro accordo May modellato su esigenze Brexiters

It had always been government’s belief that if it cld speak to the Member States rather than the Commission it wld get a better #Brexit deal. The UK, they thought, could divide & rule. Jeremy Hunt’s comments have put an end to that. #Brexit
Comparing the #EU to the Soviet Union is the latest easily avoidable diplomatic error made by a cabinet minister. Hunt’s comments have lead to countries that used to be the UK’s best friends in the Council (like Estonia & Latvia) openly stating that he has insulted them. #Brexit
If the UK was to successfully divide & rule, it needed to keep its friends close. What it is doing is pushing them away. #Brexit

So confirmed @EUCOPresident will propose in Salzburg an extra, extraordinary EU summit in November to deal with #Brexit. As talks enter “the final lap”.
EU officials insist, contrary to reports there are no disagreements between Tusk and Barnier on #Brexit
Donald Tusk wants 3 things from Salzburg:
📌Reconfirm there will be no Withdrawal Agreement without Irish backstop
📌Discussions on future relationship between UK-EU
📌And will propose and plan emergency #Brexit summit in November.

UK is heading for #Brexit In Name Only. And maybe the slow, spasmodic death of British nationalism. Thread.
I’ve never believed UK & EU would agree terms on a new - indefinite - relationship. There’s a chasm between EU’s position & UK rhetoric 2/
Conservative Party backed EU for 50 years. Most grandees, funders and MPs still believe UK would do very badly if it left SM. Financial Times & Treasury agree 3/
