Ok, now that Corbyn has made his Big Speech sealing Labour's approach to the European elections, could Labour politicians stop misleading voters with claims that Labour's position is in any way pro-Remain? You know it isn't so at this point you're just doing it on purpose!
People are voting for a party not for you, so the party's position is what they can expect to get out of it.

Crazy Friday proposal: situate the new (temporary) Parliament building near Heathrow. Reasonable connections to London, accessible from other parts of the UK (or at least certainly no less so than Westminster) and once the Elizabeth Line opens will be even easier to get to.
Shop around, and acquire (or lease for a few years) one of the hotels inside the free bus zone around Heathrow, one with a large enough central conference space to convert into a debating chamber. Keep a few bedrooms as bedrooms, turn the rest into offices and meeting spaces.
And at the end of the period (which, let's face it, will be longer than predicted because you can bet the renovation of the Palace of Westminster will over-run) it can be turned back into a hotel.

Interesting opinion piece about how the decision to build a very temporary place for MPs to meet while the Palace of Westminster is renovated (at a cost of over half a billion pounds) seems to have been made with basically zero scrutiny. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
How much better would it be to spend that money on a new permanent home designed to modern standards, and with a non-confrontational seating arrangement rather than the current one designed to facilitate face-offs? The PoW could be restored and preserved for the nation.
And imagine if that new home incorporated the latest in biometric readers all over the building, so MPs could confirm their identities definitively and vote without all having to traipse into narrow lobbies like cattle being herded into pens? Would encourage more participation.

Thread 1/6
To #Labour voters who back a #PeoplesVote and are campaigning to #Remain in the EU, please ignore this angry article. It does not speak for the majority.
The worst thing Labour supporters like Owen can do at the #EUElections2019 is lecture and patronise Remain voters.
2/6
 Instead, let's be honest about the progress made in moving #Labour policy on #Brexit forward, while recognising we are not where we need to be.
The good news:
-203 Labour MPs voted for a #PeoplesVote in parliament
-34 Labour candidates have signed the @Remain_Labour pledge.
3/6
 Less good news:
- The NEC decision confirms that backing a #PeoplesVote is an 'option', but did not commit to it unambiguously.

#Remain campaigners have every reason to be frustrated. But instead of attacking them (as Owen does), we need to convince them to stick with Labour

My take on #Election2019, is one that will surprise all #Canadians who will take the #time to read past this #headline. It will be a #long #series of #tweets that will be #purely #honest & straight to the #point.
This #series of tweets will contain #jabs at #voters, the #media & our #political #parties & they are #jabs, that in my own #opinion are #merited. Agree or don’t agree, I won’t care, but it needs to be said to ease my conscience in the lead up to our election!
In 2015, Canada’s #media, declared that #Trudeau & .@liberal_party outflanked the @NDP on leftist policies & for the 1st time in recent history the media supported large deficits & destruction of our country’s finances over a more balanced approach. Let’s stop here for a sec.

Labour Against the Witchhunt wouldn't even report a Nazi.

LAW have welcomed former MP Jim Sheridan's reinstatement by the party. He was suspended last summer over an #antisemitic statement he posted on Facebook. But LAW don't accept he did anything wrong in the first place. /1
When Labour members err, there ought to be opportunity for them to learn from the experience and make amends. But comrade Sheridan's statement after his suspension was lifted suggested his only regret was getting caught and he appeared to blame those who complained about him. /2
Let's recall what got him into trouble: Sheridan declared he had lost respect and empathy for an entire ethnic group - "the Jewish community" - due to events in @UKLabour. The #Holocaust, pogroms and persecution no longer moved him because of "their Blairite plotters". /3

Ok, it's time to address this idea that #FBPE is an anti-Corbyn-focused organisation.
It has become an increasingly popular trope of the pro-Corbyn, Momentum cult that #FBPE is out to get them.
A favourite way to undermine #FBPE by the #Corbyn/#Momentum crowd is to suggest that it is a being controlled by the right or 'shady billionaires' (which historians of World War II will remember is a nod towards Jewish money).

This thread is about the #SelfID debate and why #labourlosingwomen is going to be such a massive problem for #Corbyn and his ever increasingly lunatic supporters. We have three biological genders, male, female and hermaphrodite but the % of hermaphrodites is tiny. 1/11
Now Eddie Izzard is part of the NEC of #UKLabour this issue is going to re-ignite rather than disappear as he recounted in his memoir of how he deliberately broke the law getting changed in a female bathroom: 2/11
vulture.com/2017/06/eddie-…
But why is there so much controversy about all of this and why is it justified? #UKLabour has alienated traditional #Labour female voters about having to compete with men who have decided to describe their gender as female #SelfID #labourlosingwomen 3/11

European Parliament may vote to reject "sufficient progress" on Brexit - so no trade talks yet - about an hour before PM conf speech on Wed
vote originally planned Tuesday, but European Parliament (which has veto on A50 deal) will now declare verdict, minutes before PM Big Speech
Though some in Parliament think the document is wrong - and it will take place on Tuesday after all 🤷🏽‍♂️
