Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't the "Brexit Party" at least say which Brexit it wants?
#EuropeanElections2019
Some say No Deal but prod for even a sec and they say No Deal's only temporary.
1) You're arguing for No Deal on the basis of getting a deal, which is 🤪
2) How has "getting a deal" gone so far? Will we be stronger if we're the only economy in the world with no local trade deals?
I don't know about you but a party which doesn't define its central and titular objective, but seeks your vote anyway, and is led by this man.... seems like one we should be a little worried about.

Had a 30-minute debate today about maternity leave and gender equality, where the guy's point amounted to:
"We can only have equality if women choose to stop having babies".
As usual I resorted to a Buffy reference:
Angel gives up when faced with the idea that evil can never be fully defeated until his epiphany when he realises it's about defeating as much as possible: i.e. We may never get full equality but we must keep doing all we can to get there
For the fans...

If you're a racist/bigot with even half a brain cell, you know modern politics won't let overt racists get anywhere. Bigots know they can only succeed through being subtle: biased narratives and dog whistles.
So can we stop pretending you need to be actual Hitler to be racist?
⬇️
1⃣"I can't be racist because I have black friends (or candidates)."
I love animals (often more than people #DogsFTW). That doesn't mean I don't think I'm superior to them.
2⃣ If you are rich enough to avoid facing the adversity of being an ethnic minority, you can't use your ethnicity to downplay the seriousness of a threat to others who aren't so fortunate.

You can't argue that we should vote to leave the EU on the basis of getting a proper trade deal, and then complain that we haven't left the EU without one.
#EuropeanElections2019
That includes you Nigel Farage.
When you passionately defended the idea of leaving the EU and staying in the Single Market, you lost the right to say we should leave without a deal.
In fact, you made it morally disgusting for yourself to do so.
#BrexitParty #EuropeanElections2019
That includes @DominicRaab.
Dominic Raab said the idea of leaving the EU without a deal was scaremongering.
He wasn't even talking about the damage from no deal; Dominic Raab said the very concept of leaving without a deal was Project Fear

1) As the UK undergoes the biggest humiliation in living memory, let's just remember how the #Brexit leaders & their jingoism masquerading as patriotism brought us here with an almost elegant level of incompetence & arrogance

#PeoplesVote
2) Firstly let's recall the wasted months of "we can't show our hand/we can't reveal our plan" when in reality there was no #Brexit negotiation plan.

@DavidDavisMP had one joker - bluster. Turn up at the 11th hour and say "give us a trade deal or we both go down"
That's it.
3) Then we had the ERG desperately scrubbing around for months with "maxfac" and magic not yet developed technologies all designed to solve the insoluble in Ireland - if you have different rules either side of a border, you have to have a border. And we can't have a border

#Brexit & political disillusionment thread...
Thought #EURef campaign would be based on facts, not lies. I was wrong.
Thought media would call out #Brexit -er lies & challenge obvious bollocks. I was wrong.

EU emergency #brexit summit 10 April will start 6pm in Brussels. The PM will be invited to ‘engage’ with the 27 EU leaders +inform them of her plans/requests. She’ll then like last time be asked to leave the room while the 27 try to come to unified position required by EU law /1
Leaders are divided. No one likes idea of long #brexit delay - if PM asks for it - and it only takes one country (France in frontline) to say no - as EU decision must be unanimous BUT /2
If the UK does as EU had requested and agrees to holding European parliamentary elections as a condition for being granted a longer #Brexit delay then it’s hard to imagine EU saying no. Even if the PM only presents a vague plan of what intends to do during longer extension /3

Dear @ZacGoldsmith
As a "contemptuous Remainer", may I assure you that I have considered the implications of "winning", as you put it, very carefully.
First, Remainers long ago gave up the idea of #Brexit being a winner/loser situation. They are all too fully aware that leaving/2
2/ will be nothing but lose/lose all round. Oh, except maybe for those who are trying to avoid the new tax legislation.
Second, the 48% who voted #Remain, and the @the3million and @BritishInEurope who were disenfranchised in the 2016 referendum /3
3/know only too well what it's like to have their vote ignored and their postal votes "lost" or maybe never counted. The BBC & other *impartial* media outlets name them persistently as #Remoaners, if mentioned at all. The PM referred to them as "losers" in the Withdrawal Bill. /4

As a remainer I scratch my head as to why #Brexit continues to enjoy significant support despite overwhelming evidence its a really bad idea so thought I'd offer a psychological explanation for its appeal to some of its supporters which simply cannot lie in objective reality
I have no knowledge experience or professional qualifications in psychology whatsoever but as this is #brexit Britain this means I know more than professionals like @RichardBentall so offer my brexpertise on the psychological appeal of Brexit confident in my total ignorance
Being a Brexiter means being part of a huge crowd where not only are you all cheering for the same thing but this crowd permits and even encourages behaviour and attitudes which are normally forbidden and some brexiters at least feel liberated from decency and reason

1) Central #Brexit conundrums
It's comical & depressing that the current problems in #Brexit were set in stone 2 years ago by brexit leadership & have hamstrung it since

Brexit reduces to the following:
-The impossible deal
-The frameworks
-The wrong audience
-The failed joker
2) the Impossible deal
Vote Leave won promising a pain free, cost free, FoM free #Brexit
This cannot be delivered

Any meaningful Brexit will hit the economy badly

Any Brexit that doesn't will be a "betrayal of leave!!"

Any party delivering either will be destroyed
3) the Frameworks
The SM, CU & other entities are legal frameworks, made up of EU treaties, WTO & international law.

It is perfectly reasonable for the UK to opt in or out of these frameworks.

It is not reasonable to demand 27 sovereign nations change those frameworks for 1
