Which "Leave" did ALL 17.4 million people vote for?
Was it WTO Brexit?
Was it Canada FTA Brexit?
Was it Norway Brexit?
Was it Malthouse A Compromise Brexit?
Was it Malthouse B Compromise Brexit?

Which "Remain" did ALL 16.1 million people vote for?
The one defined in the Treaties
To be fair it's probably a good thing that @bbcquestiontime haven't invited me on yet...
Every time someone suggested a Brexit plan I'd just be like "Did 16.1 million people vote for that? No? Cos I know something 16.1 million people DID vote for!"
#bbcqt
"But the EU isn't status quo, it's ever-closer union".
A) Principle of conferral (below)
B) The European Union act of 2011 (UK law) stated that any further transfers of power to the EU level, including loss of veto would need to be put to a referendum.
CONCLUSION:

Is it possible to have a WTO Brexit and a Norway Brexit at the same time? No.

Therefore does it make any sense to lump the votes for completely incompatible Brexits together in order to disregard the votes for what is clearly the most popular single option?

THREAD of things about Nigel Farage that should already be public knowledge ahead of the #EuropeanElections2019.
Dear Media, DO YOUR JOB!
1⃣ He lied about immigration AND ADMITTED it.
2016: There's nothing we can do to stop unlimited people from EU countries coming to this country and enjoying the same rights & privileges as all the rest of us.
2017: There are restrictions that can be placed
2⃣ Nigel Farage has almost blatantly expressed that he's not concerned with whether Brexit makes us poorer.

If you believe the UK has a moral entitlement to be able to trade within the European Union just as easily as any EU country, then if Brexit leads to us losing that ability, you'll think the EU must have mistreated us in the negotiations.
For example....
Maybe I'm being unfair? Maybe it's not English exceptionalism. Maybe it's from such an ingrained belief that Brexit can't possibly have consequences that the moment those consequences became apparent in the negotiations, it simply HAD to be the EU intentionally causing trouble.

1. Theresa May has done the right thing in doing what was necessary to avoid dropping out without a deal. No deal is not something to be welcomed. It is a last resort. Now keep in mind that Britain can leave the EU at any time by ratifying the withdrawal agreement. #Brexit thread
2. So Brexiters can play it one of two ways. They can push for the deal as is, or push it right to the wire and risk no Brexit at all. If a deal does not pass then it could go either way but the powers that be will use every tool in the box to stop us leaving without a deal.
3. Here we have to look at the deal in more macro terms and stop getting hung up on the quibbles. The deal is just the divorce agreement. It's our ticket out of the EU. So we pay the £39bn which is peanuts in the broader scheme of things and we'd pay that anyway for this MFF.

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!

#Brexit #WTOBrexit #NoDealBrexit #SOS
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!

#Canada is at point where we hear a constant barrage of hate and fear. @CPC_HQ is yelling about a constant Trumpian border crisis that doesn’t exist. We do not have a border crisis. Yes. People have crossed, but, they aren’t wandering around #Canada
#cdnpoli 1/
#Canadians need to realize these people turn themselves into the RCMP. Our border is manned. They know who is crossing. We are obligated to hear their request. Most will be deported/sent back to the United States. As per Safe Third Country Agreement. We have no crisis 2/ #cdnpoli
The @CPC_HQ are stoking fear. When they know the laws. If the #CPC were in power, they too would be dealing with it the same way.
The @CPC_HQ stoking fear is to divide #Canadians
They don’t care about the border they have an agenda. That agenda should scare you 3/ #cdnpoli

1/ An EFTA/EEA 'Norway' style relationship with the EU would be cheaper than EU membership. 💶💷💰efta4uk.eu/wp-content/upl…
2/ The UK would not be a mere 'rule taker' in EFTA/EEA - we would regain sovereignty in key areas and speak for ourselves on global bodies. efta4uk.eu/wp-content/upl…

"#Brexit and EU agencies", our extensive look into third country relationships of the 36 EU agencies and how the UK might fit in.

swp-berlin.org/fileadmin/cont…

Albeit largely technical, agencies will have huge implications on Brexit.

Five points stand out in particular:
First, Agencies matter. Like the customs union, they are a technical aspect of the EU, that works and was thus hardly discussed in the UK before #Brexit.
But they are important for single market, but also justice and home affairs.

UK gov thus has already asked to continue participation in selected agencies, in particular in sectors important to the UK economy, like aviation, chemicals or pharma.
