I can only repeat what I wrote in my piece from earlier today. Remainers wanted these elections, yet seem to have done no thinking as to how to win them. If Farage triumphs there will be no people’s vote. Marches have few consequences. Elections have many. news.sky.com/story/labour-a…
The question is, how does Labour respond? If its numbers fall they might be tempted to try and hoover up Lib Dem/green/ChUK vote with a firm promise on a new referendum. It might work and is lower risk in EU elex. But suspect cautious Corbyn team won’t go for it.
There’s clearly an opportunity there though.Much will depend on what Lab does next.

However depressing it is for remainers who dislike Jeremy Corbyn, the numbers are clear to see. Right now the only forces with a chance of winning these elections are the Brexit Party or Labour.

Hold on to your hats folks, Labour source on NEC just told me: "I think it'll continue a while yet. Discussions very cordial but significant differences."
Source says NEC almost certain they’ll just agree to restate and adhere to the 2018 conference decision.
The meeting has concluded and indeed, they have done exactly that. 👆

The only thing which is surprising about Labour’s embrace of a more muscular environmentalism is that it’s taken so long to come about. Compared to the activities of @AOC, Green New Deal etc they’ve been relatively muted.
For example, I’d be surprised if you can name the party’s environment spokesperson. Which given how central environmentalism has become to new left politics across the world, seems rather odd.
Still, with locals and European elections looming and a frustrated base chafing at the party’s Brexit policy, this isn’t bad politics.

Extraordinary poll. It took UKIP twenty years to top the European elections. The Brexit Party might do it in less than twenty weeks.
The Tories could plunge lower still. Looks likely to me they will experience their worst national election result in history.
And despite it all I still cannot get my head around the number of remainers I speak to who actually think there will still be a referendum if the Brexit party comes first.

A Jewish woman was murdered in California today, simply for being a Jew celebrating Passover. I’m a Jewish woman celebrating Passover in California today too—so I raise my voice for her + every soul who has been gunned down in a hate crime, anti-Semitism… facebook.com/erinschrode/po…
I raise my voice for her and for every soul who has been gunned down in a hate crime, lost their life for daring to live their truth or faced deadly anti-Semitism, white supremacy, discrimination or bigotry of any kind. May their memory be a blessing.

1) I Warned You! Don’t Allow Them To Gaslight You….. Our President Didn’t Give Anything Away Other Than 3 Years….

When I wrote the article earlier today, I referenced the fact that so called “Trump Supporters” would come out saying all kinds of stupid things.

From the article linked above:

People on our side will call this Amnesty! They are gaslighting you.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
