In 2017 the majority voted for Parties whose manifestos opposed #NoDealBrexit.
So what does that make No-Dealers? *Checks "Leave" phrasebook*

"Losers"
"Enemies of the people"
"Traitors"
"Against the will of the people"
"Brexi-tears" (OK that one was me😅)

So when Boris Johnson is appointed as UK Prime Minister by a handful of Tories, and tries to drag us out of the EU on No-Deal against the express will of the People, I trust we'll all LOUDLY remind him he has no mandate for it.

Whatever happens in #EUElectionResults tonight: MEPs are elected to represent this country at the European level. They can't make No Deal happen. They can't stop Brexit. That's up to the UK Parliament and the last time we voted for that, THE UNITED KINGDOM VOTED AGAINST NO-DEAL.
So if Nigel Farage & the Tories win, that's sad as it calls into question whether we even deserve to be members of the EU, as we're the country that can vote for THIS man after everything he's put our continent through for 3yrs.
If not, it just means we deserve our seat in Europe
Anyone celebrating the fact that a Brexit Party victory might make 1/2 UK so disgusted with our own country we question the morality of inflicting ourselves on our EU friends...Needs to ask themselves if national pride has any value if you've stolen it from your fellow nationals.

I'm on LBC from 3am-4am Monday morning.
Why?
Because **** sleep, that's why!

P.S. I said yes to this fully expecting an hour of "So Femi, the Brexit Party won, so a second referendum is dead?"
1⃣ In concrete terms, a huge Brexit Party victory doesn't achieve anything, for the reasons I outlined below a few weeks ago.
2⃣ The most likely consequence of a massive Brexit Party victory is that we leave with the deal that's been that's been negotiated. #EUelectionResults

Boris Johnson is a political animal driven by nothing but amoral selfish ambition.
1⃣ He knew leaving the Single Market would harm the British People, yet saw Brexit as a way to ride a wave of nationalism into Downing Street.
#ToryLeadershipContest
2⃣ He spent 2 years telling the British people Brexit was about taking back control then he was willing to vote for a deal which he knew would mean less control than we'd have as an EU member.
#ToryLeadershipContest
3⃣ I know most of you Tories don't care about social & environmental rights, so I won't appeal to your morality.
But the deregulation Boris Johnson is talking about would make UK-EU trade more bureaucratic and add to NHS costs.

We have reached the end of the road with this Tory disaster, this quantum of #Brexit created & destroyed by & for Tories, a Frankenstein Brexit which now should tear to pieces the party that made it. Schrödinger's Brexitstein Monster, the movie. But what should @UKLabour do now?
First, it is really important for all of us in every party to know what Brexiters & #TheresaMay hoped we never would know: we were able to trigger this #Brexit attempt to become independent because by the terms of the TEU we were in fact independent & free to use #Article50.
As @joannaccherry has insisted in Parliament (something also said almost in passing by Kenneth Clarke), we can #RevokeArticle50 now to avert a disastrous #NoDealBrexit. That doesn't have to be the end of Brexiter hopes. It gives us the time that we need to reflect & rethink.

#BrexitChaos - thread: need for definitions:

#NoDeal #nodealbrexit means crashing out: no arrangements with the #EU or other member states, no transition period. Means losing all existing trade deals & years of global negociations
#WTO ≠ trade deal (look it up!) 1/9
@theresa_may #WithdrawalAgreement is the framework for a future #UK #EU future relationship. Allows for an orderly #Brexit with transition period, but leaves many issues to resolve, trade deals and regulations to negotiate, which will take many years and be costly. No "dividend"!
It is possible to #StopBrexit and #Remain. This means staying in the #EU with all current benefits, reciprocal rights and protections, free trade and movement for goods, services and people within the EU. To do this, Govt must #RevokeA50 (Article 50=notice given to #Leave 3/9

“Pro-Leave politicians promised us the world...Brexit would rebuild communities and protect businesses—but it’s clear that was all a farce, that we were misled.”

Here’s looking straight at you ⁦⁦@patel4witham⁩. eastlondonadvertiser.co.uk/news/heritage/…
Well worth reminding yourselves of what @patel4witham promised if South Asians voted Leave.

This is from India’s Economic Times before the #EURef economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/internati…
Brexiters stoked nationalist & xenophobic fears as a deliberate strategy for voting Leave.

(Looking at you @michaelgove - Turkey?)

They promised all things to all people.

More Asians, less Poles.

Less Turks, more Asians.

Dividing, driving for those wanting less “other”.

Waiting for the start of the Brexit What's The Deal event at Bracknell Open Learning Centre organised by Berkshire for Europe.
We'll be live tweeting the event, so watch this space.
If you are at the event, use the hashtag #WhatsTheDealBracknell on social media.
It promises to be an interesting evening, particularly with the news this afternoon that Railways Minister @JoJohnsonUK has resigned from the government and spoken out in favour of a #PeoplesVote on Brexit rather than the choice of no deal or a bad deal.
Our speakers this evening are:
Bracknell MP @DrPhillipLeeMP who was one of the early MPs to resign their ministerial post over Brexit (for the right reasons)

#ABTVtoStopBrexit isn't about affecting the balance of power or forcing a General Election. #ABTV is about sending a message to the Tories, and *especially* to Labour that people don't support *any* #Brexit. Not a #HardBrexit, #SoftBrexit, #NoDealBrexit, #Lexit, or *any* Brexit.
The Tory's control more than half of councils, nearly double Labour. Losing control of even half of them is unrealistic, and even if it happened under fixed term government I can all but guarantee it won't result in a General Election.
A Prime Minister calls a GE under two circumstances:
1) They are miles ahead in the polls and think they can increase their majority (as in 2017)
2) They have suffered a humiliating defeat or scandal.
