The Brexiters' rearguard defence against a long Article 50 extension has fallen apart politics.co.uk/blogs/2019/04/…
They were defeated last night in Westminster, Macron is not coming to rescue them in Brussels, and No.10 is admitting it needs to prepare for the European elections.
The possibility of no-deal is now in steep decline.

Yep that's great - throw millions more immigrants into May's Hostile Environment in the name of the future socialist state. How bitterly perverse and hypocritical.
If these people gave a good goddamn about treating everyone equally, they would fight to expand free movement, not eradicate it.
Fucking hell mate. At least the ERG are honest about what they are.

In news that will surprise no-one it sounds like the talks with Labour have completely broken down.
Labour spokesperson: "We are disappointed that the govt has not offered real change or compromise. We urge the PM to come forward with genuine changes to her deal in an effort to find an alternative that can win support in parliament and bring the country together."
I would have been shocked if May offered a meaningful compromise in those talks. And even more shocked if Labour accepted it even if she had.

May's manner, her approach to diplomacy, is so shameful that it is hurting the world's impression of what constitutes the British personality. She is making us look scheming and inept
You can get away with being one of those things. Being both is dreadful. politics.co.uk/blogs/2019/04/…
2/. “We are now stuck in the extraordinary situation of watching our negotiating partner force a more advantageous situation on us against our stated will. This is admittedly for their own reasons.”

 “They have no intention of holding emergency summits every month to extend the timetable again each time May fails. So they prefer a 1-year extension which can be cancelled whenever a deal is agreed.”

As was always the case under A50(3)
She just isn’t honest enough to say so

Support for ‘no deal’ Brexit is the pinnacle of Leave's descent into zealotry. The end result of refusing to plan

Like Trump, 'no deal' advocates have flooded the debate with “alternative facts”
It won't end well

THREAD! PLEASE RETWEET!

The increased support for a ‘no deal’ Brexit is the ultimate failure of the Leave movement. It’s the inevitable consequence of the refusal to grasp details, come to terms with complexity & coalesce around a plan. Compromise can be frustrating. So instead they will have a tantrum.
Some Brexiteers advocated sensible solutions. The EFTA/EEA solution gained a lot of traction in the years before the ref. Even Farage had promoted it & countless others. See Farage below from 2011 essentially making the ‘Liberal Leave’ case!

Evening all. It’s time for another of my threads looking at the steady progress being made by good people in fixing the mess of Brexit/Trump/Russia. Stand by for some good news...
First up, if you haven't seen my previous threads like this, here is the last one so you can catch up...
...Big headline this week is parliament getting its mojo back and government losing 3 key votes - including becoming the first gov in British history to be found in contempt of parliament. But the other 2 votes were significant too. @IanDunt has details... politics.co.uk/blogs/2018/12/…

How do the kids say it nowadays? I feel #calledout?
I've gotten much better,but i can still recall a time when I thought the epitome of feeling good, was feeling nothing
Seriously, if you're #reading down the #list going, "That's me, that's me, that's me, and oooooo is that EVER me!"

I'd definitely #recommend getting some #help with the matter.
It's taken years to be #comfortable in my own skin.
Years of breaking the old records in my head

-And as #Ralph would say, Totally worth it!

It's a freakin #relief, to cry a tiny bit in a #movie theatre at a moving point in the film, without having to expend all the extra #energy in "did someone see me?"
#exhausting!

and that's just one tiny perk :)

I #lookforward to-
