If there's no freedom of movement then "close relationship with the Single Market" was always just Vote Leave style hogwash

Corbyn's Brexit is May's #Brexit

This is why the Labour TIG MPs left, because Corbyn was never going to follow Labour policy

#RevokeArticle50
The question for Labour MPs who want the best for the country, who don't want to buy in to Corbyn & May's anti FoM #Brexit
Will you defy the inevitable whip?
Will you do the right thing and leave Labour?

Or will you go along with the stitch up?

#RevokeArticle50
It was never about northern seats, there was never a Labour "Jobs first #Brexit plan" and there was never any intention to be led by the members.

May has her personal Brexit she's tried to push through & ironically it's pretty much identical to Corbyn's Brexit

1) We're facing a deluge of fake news & normalisation of "no deal" from the ERG & hard Brexiters

It was also revealed that £1m is being poured from somewhere into fake "grassroots" no deal FB sites

And now Labour MPs like
@LucyMPowell @lisanandy @gareth_snell are helping
@LucyMPowell @lisanandy @gareth_snell 2) the above tweet, like the well publicised letter by 25 Labour MPs asking Corbyn to strike a deal, refers to a highly selective cherry picking up of a wider poll which has been called out by YouGov themselves
#PeoplesVote
@LucyMPowell @lisanandy @gareth_snell 3) I know we expect this from certain parties & clickbait commentators but from Labour MPs? Distributing highly selective interpretations of polls to make no deal seem more "normal", more widespread in popularity?

So the day we find out there are secret fake "grassroots" facebook groups pushing no deal and the PMs head of communications is a hard brexiter with roots in the BBC, @lisanandy, @gareth_snell, @SarahChampionMP and others decide to push out that same hard #brexit propaganda
And as pointed out by YouGov themselves the interpretation of "no deal support hardening" is a gross misinterpretation

So it turns out @lisanandy, @gareth_snell, @SarahChampionMP and the other 23 Labour MPs are doing the ERGs dirty work for them
So it turns out @lisanandy and the other 23 Labour MPs appear to be complicit in spreading ERG/Hard #Brexit fake news on "No Deal support hardening"

Which is strange for a Labour MP

I'd suggest however the decent thing to do is to withdraw and amend their letter

1) There's many bizarre aspects of #Brexit but one stand out is the numbers saying "we know what we voted for, we wanted no deal"

So millions didn't believe what Johnson, Gove & Vote Leave were saying about leaving being easy, but voted leave anyway?
2) attitude of many leavers is like "oh I knew the Tory manifesto was full of lies,that promised spending on the NHS wouldnt happen & the education & social care systems would be trashed. I didn't believe anything they said but I voted for them anyway"

3) I'm sorry but I just don't buy it. I don't believe people who say they knew there would be a painful no deal #Brexit & Gove,Johnson were lying but voted Leave anyway.

I just think it's easier to say "we knew this was coming" than admit to being duped

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

1. #Labour now seem to be unified in calling for a customs union. This to me looks like the sleepy kid at the back of the class suggesting something to make it look like he was paying attention. It is a non-solution to #Brexit. Thread...
2. Because it has the word "customs" in the name, they believe it has magical properties that bring about frictionless trade. As the Commission pointed out a year ago, this simply is not the case.
3. Frictionless trade is the byproduct of a system of behind the border controls which is largely to do with regulatory harmonisation - ie the single market. Without it, there will need to be controls at or near the border.

1. Some background on this major story which broke yesterday: The Taxpayers' Alliance admitted that 9 "linked" organisations coordinated to vilify @shahmiruk These groups are operating from an office at 55 Tufton Street, around the corner from Westminster.
2. Here is what you need to know about these opaquely-funded libertarian groups, which are pushing for a hard (no-deal) Brexit, advocating deregulation to strike a US-UK free trade deal and include climate science denying Global Warming Policy Foundation👇 desmog.co.uk/2018/07/23/map…
3. @shahmiruk accused the 9 groups of mounting a coordinating campaign to push for a hard-#Brexit and deregulation across the media. The Taxpayers' Alliance has just admitted that, indeed, this is the case and climate science deniers and hard-Brexiters are working together.

#brexit seems to be all about feeling over fact and this is especially true of the ReesMogg ERG faction of the Tory right.
I never bought the line that #brexit is about Democracy because most of the Tory right had zero enthusiasm for improving democracy in the UK few of them care about unelected house of lords the unfair FPTP electoral system or transparency on the contrary
Most of the Tory right are interested only in constitutional changes that suit them and if anything strive to be as little democratically accountable as possible.

HUGE NEWS: Electoral Commission finds Vote Leave broke law during #Brexit ref, issuing fines and reporting 2 people - Darren Grimes + Vote Leave's 'responsible person' David Halsall - to police. Full report is stinging ( electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/…) Here's some key points (thread)
Just before the Brexit vote fashion student Darren Grimes was 'given' £675k. In fact this money was spent on his behalf as @openDemocracy showed last year opendemocracy.net/uk/brexitinc/p…. Elec Comm found that this spending was part of a' common plan with Vote Leave." Which is illegal
Before he teamed up w/Vote Leave Darren Grimes had raised the princely sum of £21.51 - then he got £675k. Grimes told us this was his spending. EC found this 'was substantially inaccurate reporting that has resulted in a lack of transparency about whose spending this was.'

So the Lords voted pretty overwhelmingly (347👍, 225 👎) today that 🇬🇧 should stay in a Customs Union with 🇪🇺.

What is this going to mean?

A quick thread.
1/9
Most obviously it makes the chances of 🇬🇧 having a Customs Union with 🇪🇺 marginally higher. That's welcome.

But I think the significance is more tactical.

2/9
First, this all depends on how the Commons reacts.

Does it try to fight back against Lords, and Withdrawal Bill drags on? Or does Govt back down, knowing there would probably be a majority in the Commons for a CU if it wanted it?

The latter looks more likely.
