In this lengthy piece about the breakdown of Brexit talks this is the *only thing* the BBC says about what No Deal means.

It ignores the evidence from EVERY independent forecaster and even from the Govt itself.

How do people pretend the BBC is neutral? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
I'm going to post screen shots of this piece for later today when, after everyone's read it, the BBC change the story online to make it less of a disgrace, without noting they have changed it. As they so often do. 1/2
2/2

Why did Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn put the country at the whim of France? Theresa May by failing to close an acceptable deal and Jeremy Corbyn by failing to give MPs the choice to avoid No Deal? on.ft.com/2D1ynRF
This is just not true. Our PM has gone on camera and lied to the country.
That @theresa_may will lie to the people tells us how much she really cares about the "trust in our democracy" she talks about.

Not a cigarette paper between Labour and the Tories. Both content to sacrifice the life chances of the young to appease the anti-immigrant rhetoric of bigots. Shame on them.
That the Tories have abandoned the young for power should surprise no one. That Labour would do the same reveals the Corbyn project: by, of and for old men who march in service of their narrow ideology on a road paved with the crushed futures of the young.
I'm told, angrily, that No.10's briefing on what is agreed with Labour is false. My contact is in a position to know and trustworthy. But here's the thing: do any of us (including my contact) know what Labour's position really is? Please keep telling Labour what you won't accept.

I wonder how many people believe that a newspaper that counts amongst its well-paid columnists several professional bigots gives a damn about anti-semitism?
And if your interest in anti-semitism stems principally from its ability to harm your political opponents, how different are you to those you pretend to oppose?
I've said (several times) what I have to say about this story and my tweet and the Sunday Times. I will continue to call out the anti-semitism Corbyn enables. I'm not going to spend my day repeating myself. If you disagree with what I've said, well, welcome to pluralism.

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

#Brexit & political disillusionment thread...
Thought #EURef campaign would be based on facts, not lies. I was wrong.
Thought media would call out #Brexit -er lies & challenge obvious bollocks. I was wrong.

Good morning.
Thread here on a tale of two marches.
This may take some time.
@RaymondSnoddy @mk1969 @amandaloviza @BCU_CBS @ThatTimWalker @Andrew_Adonis @campbellclaret
(1)
Last Saturday, hundreds of thousands marched through London to ask for a second referendum on #brexit. It was announced from the platform that more than a million had taken part. There were certainly a lot.
(2)
Yesterday, thousands more were on the march to protest about the betrayal of the failure to deliver #brexit that day.

As a remainer I scratch my head as to why #Brexit continues to enjoy significant support despite overwhelming evidence its a really bad idea so thought I'd offer a psychological explanation for its appeal to some of its supporters which simply cannot lie in objective reality
I have no knowledge experience or professional qualifications in psychology whatsoever but as this is #brexit Britain this means I know more than professionals like @RichardBentall so offer my brexpertise on the psychological appeal of Brexit confident in my total ignorance
Being a Brexiter means being part of a huge crowd where not only are you all cheering for the same thing but this crowd permits and even encourages behaviour and attitudes which are normally forbidden and some brexiters at least feel liberated from decency and reason

1. To address a point that remainers are having fun with... the assertion that Argentina will use our #Brexit circumstances at the WTO to enhance its stake on the Falklands... is totally baloney. You know this of course, but there's a few points worth making. #Trade thread!
2. These such signals are as much for domestic consumption as anything else. This isn't the first and won't be the last. We will see a number of attempts to frustrate the UK's separation process in the hope that it will leverage concessions from the UK.
3. Some FT hack has probably already penned a poison article on how the UK will be forced to cave in because we are so weakened and feeble without the EU. As a point of fact the UK is not obliged to concede on any point at any time so long as it pays due regard to consequences.
