Tory Junior Ministers conspired to deliberately and consciously sabotage the Brexit indicative vote process. Every day brings new heights of outrage!
And here's a list of 28 Tories who voted against all 8 proposals... Will they dare to do the same on Monday with the media and the country watching? (Stupid question: of course they will. They couldn't care less.)
If there's any justice this should tempt at least a few Tories, invested in the indicative vote process and determined to make it work, to vote down MV2.5 even if they supported MV2. At the moment, Brexit is like a football match where the referee, linesmen etc. are all dirty.

Lost in the avalanche of Brexit Day/Brexit vote news yesterday was the fact that the UK economy grew at its slowest pace since 2012 last year, with just 1.4% growth. It was also the first full year of business investment decline since 2009.
aol.co.uk/news/2019/03/2…
At the same time, the GDP growth forecast for 2019 was cut to just 1.2% i.e. even grimmer than last year's poor figure "as a consequence of extended Brexit uncertainties weighing on business activities and investment in particular, as well as weakened global growth."
So next time people say to you "hey, the economy's doing fine despite Brexit", it *really* isn't. More people may be in low paid precarious jobs, but the underlying economy is in a terrible state. And then there's all the damage Brexit is causing...

Liam Fox celebrates the growth in UK exports to non-EU countries. Mentions they're rising fast to countries including Japan, Canada and Switzerland... all of which we currently enjoy free trade agreements with as EU members. Head, meet desk!
And don't get me started on the shocking abuse of percentages, which have never been a useful measure of growth absent underlying data.
For example:
A) £100 to £200 (100% growth, or £100)
B) £1,000,000 to £1,010,000 (1% growth, or £10,000)
I'd rather have £10,000 extra than £100!
Sorry, I guess it would be helpful to have a link to the original source of information! Here you go...

Wow! Dominic Grieve is one of the star assets of the Tory Party. Incredibly important measured interventions on Brexit. And they're gearing up to deselect him. TIG, are you listening? @TheIndGroup

No 10 source: process to elect new leader would begin after leaving EU [NB that would be May 22 if MV passed]
No 10 source: Timetable to elect new leader in hand of others - PM will stay during process.

This is about new leadership for phase 2.
Seems to me that PM is making it conditional on having to get through phase 1 that her general message it is
price she is prepared to pay and that the message of her team is that “this is national interest above personal interest”

NEW: At the grassroots National Conservative Convention in Oxford - 80% of attendees have voted for there to be no delay to Brexit and for 'no deal' to be left on the table. Clear message there and totally the opposite of what the Rudd/Gauke/Clark piece today calls for #Brexit
The National Convention is the governing body of the Tory voluntary wing. So lots of on-the-ground activists and constituency members. Today’s vote is not binding in any way but sends a clear message from the grassroots that they don’t want a delay to #Brexit
So if I was a Conservative MP calling for a Brexit delay with a slim majority in a leave voting constituency, I might be a bit worried

Brexit Irony No.521:
Brexit would make Metropolitan Elitism worse-

The Brexit vote was against our London-centric system. So if there's an economic hit because of a Brexit London voted against, Westminster would make sure the London Banking sector survived but everywhere else...
Many of the problems that pushed people to vote Brexit had nothing to do with the EU. One of those problems was the government choosing to protect the banks who caused the crash with bailouts while ordinary people just got austerity.
The rich took irresponsible risks with the country's future, but they were protected either by moving their money away or by the government and it was those with least who suffered the most.
Sound familiar? #Brexit

While UK spirals down & out of control, gripped by self-inflicted Brexit-fixated inward-looking dirty-selfish politics, Major Parties talk to themselves with NO results, so far. Yet, every passing day brings new reasons to put Brexit to a #PeoplesVote with the option to #Remain.
#TriggerIsComing to force a #PeoplesVote on #Brexit, with an option to #endthechaos and #Remain. Many MPs are daily more restive over the lack of a truly #MeaningfulVote - another #May mistake that will come back to haunt #Blukip, after ALL their Lies & wastage of time AND money.
The wheels are falling off 'any Brexit' with each passing revelation of FACTUAL REALITY. Anyone who can't see that (regardless of how they voted) is not keeping up! The doubters in Parliament will be swelling in numbers, by the minute.
