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

@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?

@LucyMPowell @lisanandy @gareth_snell 4) in the Guardian story which revealed that £1m was being channeled into fake Facebook news groups it was highlighted that a key aim of these fake sites was to coordinate a flooding of MPs inboxes with pro #Brexit messages

@LucyMPowell @lisanandy @gareth_snell 5) and sure enough, here's those 25 MPs using inboxes bulging with pro leave messages as justification for asking Corbyn to strike a deal, as well as highlighting the cherry picked "no deal" support

@LucyMPowell @lisanandy @gareth_snell 6) the country deserves better than this. We need statesmen & women who are prepared to do what's right for the country, who can apply some judgement.

Shameful
