Halloween extension: Remainers now have the chance to turn this thing around politics.co.uk/blogs/2019/04/…
The reality, despite all the desperate chatter otherwise, is that a deal looks unlikely & neither this Tory leader nor any other can force through no-deal.
There's a chance here for Remain - I think a significant one - just as events seem to be moving in their direction.
You do not need to hold the referendum by October, Fuck all that. You just need to *agree to hold it* by October. That's doable.
Brexit is rusting. It's fucked. Stalled on the side of the road. Now someone needs to take a hammer to it.
Also kids, tomorrow is Not-Brexit Day again. Feels like it comes earlier every year. Don't forget to celebrate.

White walkers severely underpriced here.
Not saying it will happen, but there's definitely a better than 2% chance it does.
Ah. Apparently I can't read graphs on a Sunday night. 6% still underpriced though.

Darkseid.
No apologies either. In my head it'll always be Darkseed, not Darkside, which sounds shit.
Darkseed is.

Farage and all he stands for must be fought and beaten. But let's not waste our time getting cross at the media for covering him.
He's been the chief opponent of the EU in Britain for years. He is running a campaign which severely exacerbates Brexit tensions in the Tory party. It's a story.
It just is. Asking for it not to be covered is akin to wanting political coverage to reflect your political aims.

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!

Hard brexiteers don't care there is no majority in parlaiment for 'no deal'. They don't care that there is no majority in the country for 'no deal'. Nonetheless, they are ideologically committed to it and will pursue that aim relentlessly now. They can't be appeased.
Lost plenty of Brexiteer followers for my criticism of the 'no deal' or 'WTO option', but it isn't a recent development. I've been warning that this would be a terrible scenario since before the ref. The research I based these stark warnings on was unequivocal about it.
Post-referendum there has been an increase in the prominence in trade experts & legal experts, who have also warned about the consequences of 'no deal', and their expertise has seeped into the writings of some very good political commentators. The facts are out there.

Thread on the influence of markets on politics with respect to Brexit: what happens next?
2/ The underlying theme of Brexit in recent weeks has been fantasy meeting cold hard reality.

Suddenly proponents of Brexit are distancing themselves from Brexit’s actual likely reality - from its actual implementation “on the ground”.
3/ Those who have now come out for remain instead of an actual possible Brexit deal as agreed between the UK and the EU, include Dominic Raab (the Brexit secretary who negotiated this deal), Boris Johnson , Iain Dale (die-hard brexiter), Andrew Lilico...

This article is stupid and ignorant to an unforgivable degree brexitcentral.com/no-deal-brexit…
A transition is sensible on its own terms, but we have agreed to this because of the lack of viable solutions we have so far offered. Certainly none have come from the parliament Leavers who, in rejecting the EEA & demanding regulatory divergence, have compounded the problem
Perhaps we could try bombing Dresden again or launching D-day 2 to force their hand? Otherwise, this comment is a total irrelevance. We would of course have facilitated the whole process if there had been anything like a plan, or willingness to accept a pragmatic compromise
