The "revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU" petition (topped 6 million signatures yesterday - yay!) will get debated today, but only in Westminster Hall. Nevertheless, if you want to watch proceedings, they should be streamed online from 4:30pm. #r4today

It will be interesting to see who stands up to speak in the debate, and whether they use the "cover" provided by it to decloak when it comes to supporting revocation. But indicative vote day 2 is taking place in the HOC so MPs face lots of distractions.

And if for some astonishing reason this is the first you're hearing of the petition, you can add your name to it at the link below. The Government have already responded to it negatively, but that doesn't mean it's not having an impact on individual MPs.

There is a majority against no-deal in the HOC. But that's in the abstract. Is there a majority to revoke (consequence of being against no-deal in extremis)? Who knows!

Even if that majority exists too, what MPs don't seem to have fully grasped is just how unkillable no-deal is.
It's worse than a cockroach. No-deal will happen by default. It requires no action from Parliament to happen. Instead, Parliament must proactively act to *stop* it.

But to do that MPs have to have control of business AND pass a binding motion. None of this weak indicative stuff.
They have control of business now, but they might not get it again (needs to be reaffirmed every time) if their purpose was to pass a binding "revoke Article 50" rather than conduct more indicative votes.

Events during Wednesday's 3rd Brexit indicative vote, if we even get that far, can play out one of two ways:
- A real compromise and ceasefire between PV supporters and soft Brexit supporters produces an actual majority. This requires no more games, fudge, waiting, subterfuge
OR
- The biggest opportunity we ever had to avoid a hard or no deal Brexit is utterly squandered by MPs thinking "there's always next time". Super dangerous stance. Highly likely Wednesday is *it* as far as Parliament's tolerance for the indicative vote process goes.
I hate saying it so much it's painful to type, but I think the dream of stopping Brexit entirely is dead. I believe that if it comes down to revoke or no-deal, Theresa May will choose no-deal to keep (more of) her party together. So everything should be seen through that prism.

It's sickening to see Brexiters strutting in interviews like they've just been named champions of the world. Practically salivating at the prospect of a no-deal Brexit. Rhetoric is sharpening by the hour.
But of course they're getting no-deal in 11 days, unless they're somehow stopped. And it's very hard to see how Parliament could stop it happening if Theresa May becomes actively antagonistic and seeks to thwart any attempt to block no-deal.

Dear @theresa_may & @jeremycorbyn I'd say "I hope you are well" but I think we've all had enough lies so I won't bother.

Over the last 33 months or so you have both done your utmost, in your separate ways, to implement the narrow result of a referendum so criminally corrupted /1
that had it been anything but advisory it would have been annulled. A referendum in which those with most at stake - @the3million and many of @BritishInEurope - were deliberately excluded from participation. with the excuse that it was only advisory so they didn't have to be /2
consulted. It also deliberately excluded 16-18 year olds despite precedence in the 2014 Scottish Independence referendum in which they were included as the result would affect them deeply. Incidentally both your parties lied to the Scottish people in that referendum, telling /3

To @jeremycorbyn, Repeat after me

A customs union will not get the UK frictionless trade

A customs union will not get the UK access to the EU services market

Only full EU members get frictionless trade Only EU/EEA members get access to the EU services market

= #remain
Only full EU membership will get the UK the things you promise in your Labour Brexit deal

Your proposed deal will not deliver what you say.

Basic knowledge of trading with the EU makes this clear.
A customs Union that delivers frictionless trade?

This simply is not true, only full EU membership get frictionless trade

Even EFTA members faces some friction

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

1. With Corbyn saying this, there is now no viable chain of events that leads to #Remain 🇪🇺 so pro-eu campaigners must now put all their efforts into EFTA/EEA.
2. EFTA/EEA gives both leavers and remainers a big chunk of what they want - a settlement the British public can live with.
3. Despite some miscommunication and misinterpretation by commentators this option would not require a permanent customs union. However there would likely need to be an interim cu while necessary agreements, systems put in place and training is carried out.

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!
