These people are just liars.
This is a tweet from May 2016.
And then once she got you to vote for Brexit, @KateHoeyMP then says that the Norway Model is unacceptable.
I want to swear. Loudly.
The Remain camp said we would end up losing access to the EU Single Market. The Leave Camp said we'd keep that access to the Single Market. But now the Leave camp is saying we voted to lose it. So they're not just lying, they're admitting they were wrong!

The same man who said there was zero chance of us leaving the Single Market, now supports a Brexit that takes us out of the Single Market and he has NERVE to joke about Brexit not delivering what people asked for!!??
Are you bleeding kidding me!!?!?
Well would you look at that!?!? He's unblocked me!!!
Oh how I've missed you!!!
Shall we place our bets as to how long it takes for me to get back on his naughty list?
Rule: I will not go back through previous tweets of his. I will strictly be addressing problems in future tweets.

OK, actually watching the video tempered the anger of this tweet. He's saying we must leave but in a way that protects the poor. That means with a deal and any deal means less sovereignty than EU members, which would be pointless & anger Brexit voters. So his words add nothing.
You can imagine what the first draft of that tweet was like when I thought the Arch Bishop of Canterbury was advocating No Deal...
That said... by continuing to support the idea that "a good Brexit is out there somewhere" he's making No Deal more likely.
But at least he has the excuse of not being a full-time politician! The fact that the MPs are still pushing the idea that a good Brexit is out there is borderline unforgiveable.

This is the most impressive speech I've EVER heard on Brexit!

@GottgensJess, aged 16 at the time, at an event on women's rights organised by @NinaParker & @TessMillsy.
It was not easy cutting down that speech because every word was golden, so here's the slightly more complete version. #CheckYourPrivilege
I've sat on that footage for almost a year. I was hoping to film a higher quality version of it at some point, but last night I tweeted this and thought..."Wait... Jess said this way better... The world needs to know!"

1) Brexit can't be solved
Great spot by @KirstyS_Hughes
This is the central paradox of #Brexit which is incredibly simple but has been buried in the noise

There is a #Brexit which gives us "freedom" but at an unacceptable cost - hard managed Brexit to no deal crash out
@KirstyS_Hughes 2) whether we crash out with no deal or exit in a managed fashion with a minimal FTA the knock on costs over the mid to long term would be unacceptable to the public (ironically, probably to many leavers included)

And the backstop is a legal requirement anyway
@KirstyS_Hughes 3) there's also a Brexit which has an acceptable cost but unacceptable loss of autonomy. Even if we settle on a CU or CU+SM or some fudge in between it still makes the UK a rule taker.

It's an unsustainable model, we'll be fighting over it for the next 10 years

1. Various establishment figures are ramping up their calls for another referendum. Skipping the well rehearsed points, like everything else they haven't thought it through. It wouldn't solve anything. #Brexit thread.
2. At this point, the only intelligible fair vote would have to be an exact re-run of 2016. What they want is to secure a slender victory that allows them to gloss over the whole affair. But it won't work. It wouldn't be an affirmative mandate for what the EU is.
3. If they managed to secure a remain vote, it would be a reluctant resignation to the fact that our establishment is not capable of self-governance and is lacking the talent and imagination to deliver meaningful change. That does not solve the inherent legitimacy problem.

It's a mistake to assume Donald Tusk's words today in support of those in UK who want to revoke or to have another vote on #Brexit is representative of EU leaders, desperate for UK to remain in EU /1
When UK voted to leave, EU leaders hoped minds wld change. Macron - now seen as hardline Brexit negotiator -said "our door is always open". EU urged UK to specify exactly what Brexit it wanted BUT MPs only looking at this now. In meantime EU has got used to idea of UK leaving /2
EU main focus now is NOT hoping UK will stay. EU leaders believe #Brexit will be damaging for UK. Their priority now is preventing that damage from spreading ("infecting" as it's often said) the wider EU /3

#Brexit *Thread*

To clarify, I am remain, but I feel a 2nd ref is monumentally risky & perhaps dangerous:-

1. Polls haven't changed much, result could easily be the same
2. Another campaign of hate will embolden the far right
3. If remain win. Leavers will demand another vote
4. Chaos & unrest are likely whatever the result, possibly violence too

What happens if it's still 'Leave'? Picture the chaos, square one. You're simply allowing the Tories more time to fail to come up with a solution. Every day that continues people in this country will suffer
What if it's 'Remain'? Leavers will, with some justification, query why this vote is more valid than the first. This has the potential to cause a constitutional crisis.

People can say 'we know the facts now' all they like, that will not placate millions of angry voters.

1) Thread: "We knew what we were voting for" & #Brexit
This shouldn't really need saying but no, we didn't, we couldn't, because of the dishonest campaign ran by the Vote Leavers
History has been rewritten but the following are some edited highlights
#Lab18 #LabourConference2018
2) Firstly, what did Vote Leave promise?

Well Gove said there'd just be a few "Bumps in the Road" in a pre ref debate

3) Leadsom stated that in her expert opinion as a former city worker that there'd be no impact on the British economy

I'm currently at this #Brexit conference in Copenhagen, where the British ambassador and several #DExEU officials will be on panels with representatives of Danish trade and security. It'll be very interesting to see what's said, especially in light of May's recent Munich speech.
And now that I'm not desperately trying to keep up with livetweeting it, I shall turn my mess of self-retweets into a proper thread. #Brexit #BrexitDK
acknowledges #Brexit will have challenges; emphasises no naïveté regarding "land of milk and honey". Refreshing sense of pragmatism; we'll see how #DExEU and DK reps present it.
