Yesterday we @RemainerNow were invited to have an active role in the #PeoplesVoteRally in Westminster. Many of the speeches from politicians focused on why many abstainers, those too young to vote or 2016 leavers now want a #PeoplesVote.

This thread looks at #RemainerNow input.
Firstly, @ClaireTromans, who had travelled down from Dudley especially, was invited to give her reasons why she is a #RemainerNow in the intro.

Well done Claire.

Second, #RemainerNow @Will_DryOFOC (who has put his Uni career on hold to fight #brexit as a co-founder of @OFOCBrexit) gave a stirring speech about his change of mind.

Top work Will.

For the final part where #RemainerNow were involved on stage, 4 people were asked questions by @mrjamesob about their shift in opinion. Onto them shortly but here is James's storming introduction to the section.

#RemainerNow @Snoozette1 travelled up from Brighton for the event. She was first up to talk to James about her shift from leave to remain. Well done Carol.

Next up @mrjamesob spoke to @SimRiyat who had come across from East London. Sim gave his story.

Thank you to him. 👏

And here is a nice photo of the some of #RemainerNow contingent on stage proudly wearing their t-shirts declaring that "it's ok to change your mind".

Next up @mrjamesob turned to Ayo (who came down from Essex) and heard his story.

Great stuff @mcDarke

And here is a little video of #RemainerNow @mcDarke speaking which was shot from someone else on the stage. 👏

Finally @mrjamesob turned to Andrew (aka @ardendraught) who came across from Ealing in West London, who told everyone why he voted leave but is a #RemainerNow.

Lovely stuff. 👏

It was fantastic that we @RemainerNow were invited to take a part in this as it's vital these voices are heard. We would like to thank @campbellclaret and @peoplesvote_uk for inviting us along and we hope to have many more opportunities in the weeks and months to come.

So @trussliz, who herself changed her mind on brexit to be a #leavernow (perhaps for careerist reasons) claims noone has changed their minds on #Brexit. She uses it as an argument against a #PeoplesVote

Shall we look at the evidence then?

1st @trussliz let's look at polling.

Here we have:
(a) @YouGov #bregret tracker. This has been majority thinking #brexit is wrong since August 2017 and is only increasing. This does not take into account last 2 weeks shambles

(B) the 20k plus @Survation poll in Nov 18.

2/12
Now @trussliz let's move onto personal stories.
E.g. Fran from South Wales, she was on @SkyNews just yesterday saying how she voted leave, has changed her mind & is a #RemainerNow

She would love a #PeoplesVote #FinalSay for the sake of her grandkids

#REMAINERNOW THREAD

All over the UK there are numerous local anti-brexit groups doing great work on the streets of towns and cities.

I'm aware they often meet many leave voters who've changed their minds.

This thread shows those voters who've been willing to record something.
This lady (from Truro) voted leave. But she regrets it. She considers the UK public was made to panic and told a lot of lies. She is a #RemainerNow as she explained to @Cornwall4EU in the late summer.

She is right and it's why many leavers back a #PeoplesVote
This video was recorded in Bury St Edmunds in August by the local group there and sent into @peoplesvote_uk. She explained how she feels now she knows more about #brexit she is a #RemainerNow. She thinks it's a mess and we need a #FinalSay

LISTEN: John voted leave. He was concerned about the lack of jobs in his area & felt immigration had a big impact on that.

But here is a clip from him speaking to Adrian Chiles on radio 4 this week (a follow up to July 2016 Panorama) about his change of mind.

I watched the July 2016 programme at the time. This really gave me a good insight into why a number of leave voters from the West Midlands (& other areas) voted the way they did -almost in a cry for help.

Here is the full clip of what John had to say 2 & a half years ago.

(2/6)
The next 3 tweets give the whole section of @adrianchiles interview with John (which was summarised in the first tweet of this thread) when he returned and spoke to him for the Radio 4 programme earlier this week.

Here John explains his current life situation.

New @cage_warwick paper with @EleAla on "Who is NOT voting for Brexit anymore?" Using local area estimates from @chrishanretty based on data from a 20k @Survation poll we study how the level & geography of support for Leave has changed since 2016... goo.gl/CkUkgD 1/
Swing away from #Leave is widespread and happening broadly across the UK, specifically in England, Wales, Cornwall and the North. Overall estimated level of support for Leave is 6 percentage points lower across UK, but masks significant heterogeneity. 2/
We follow similar approach as in earlier work with @essobecker and @DennisNovy to decompose the geographic variation to identify which factors are capturing the variation across the UK in the swing away from #Leave to #Remain.... 3/

The only way to truly begin to heal the divisions in this country is to stop @FoxNews from continuing their relentless crusade of spreading lies & propaganda using powerful and well-known cult indoctrination techniques ("Brain washing"). They have been #1 in viewership for EVERY
quarter of every year since 2002. The power of cult indoctrination to influence beliefs, opinions, & attitudes can't be overstated. Many are being indoctrinated every day, for several hours or longer. Even if every single one of the millions of viewers were assigned a highly
trained professional to deprogram the indoctrination, the work would be long, arduous, and not necessarily effective for all. We are talking about decades of influence, w/ the last several years marking an extreme escalation of the amplitude and intensity of the indoctrination.

The Myth of the Lazy Nonvoter
