1) it's not just #Brexit, Corbyn & his leadership team are plain lacking in character, integrity & courage

Another week, another "edging towards a 2nd ref", another forked tongue stance

This is what a Corbyn government would look like - on everything

uk.reuters.com/article/uk-bri…
2) any Corbyn government would face difficult choices. It would also have a responsibility to rebuild trust in politics, and it would fail miserably.

Because whatever Corbyn was before being leader hasn't translated into a good picture post his election
3) ever since he agreed under pressure to support Remain just after his election he and his teams instinct has been to equivocate, misdirect, be ambiguous

Starmer sent out to say one thing, McDonnell something slightly different, Gardiner something different again
4) why does anyone think a leadership so disingenuous, so mired in doublespeak, would make a good government?

You can't build anything good on a foundation of smoke and mirrors
5) the man & his team are the worst thing to ever happen to Labour. How anyone could follow someone so instinctively evasive is absolutely beyond me

1) Couple of conclusions this morning

May have reached the watershed where we can leave Corbyn's Labour to their hard #Brexit stance. Its supporters won't go for it and are flocking to pro Remain parties so Labour will just fade away. In its current state that's no bad thing
2) need to accept there's a core of 30% of the population who can't be reached on #Brexit and we shouldnt even try. Spoken to a number of BxP supporters and they are locked in the same old thinking, don't fully understand the BxP position (no deal? "managed exit"? Strong arm EU?)
2b) these Brexit voters are unreachable. They just want Brexit, they probably couldn't even articulate why any more & for example they're very careless of democracy (it doesn't bother them one bit for example that there's no way of deposing Farage from BxP)

1) Just a comment to Labour supporters
"close alignment with SM" is not a thing, it's a lie, a deliberate deceit because no such option exists

Therefore as it stands Labour have been proposing a hard #Brexit for 2 years

Every Front bencher knows this

2) Thornberry, Starmer, Corbyn, Long-Bailey, Gardiner, Burgon have repeated the phrase "customs union with a close alignment to the SM" *knowing* it was meaningless

For nearly 2 years

I'm arguing with a Corbyn supporter right now who thinks "Norway" means SM without FoM
3) I say in all seriousness Labour are by some stretch the most dishonest of all the parties right now, and thats quite some achievement

They've deliberately & cynically kept alive the myth of a "good" #Brexit.

It's utterly shameful, I don't know how anyone can support them

1) hoodwinked libertarians & the #Brexit Company - Thread
I wanted to bring up this exchange not to embarrass the person involved but to highlight a phenomenon I've seen twice this morning, pro Democrats voting for an authoritarian shell, the Brexit "party"
2) twice today I've come across people who complain, rightly or wrongly, about the "undemocratic" EU, who have researched its democratic deficits..

...and yet have happily voted for an authoritarian shell "party" which has no democratic processes at all, because its "temporary"
3) to reiterate, Farage 2.0, the BxP, has no manifesto, no way to join as a member, no way to depose the leader, no way to vote on policy

And this is all *by design*, see 12 mins in, because Farage was tired of the democratic processes in UKIP

Comrades I write to you from the bright lexit future where I languish in a DeEducation camp 4 My dequitivist revocateur stopbrexoise wrongness & 2 get out of solitary I now pay tribute to the dear leader Jeremy Corbyn and heroes of #Brexit class struggle 4 lexitism in one cuntry
Now @UKLabour is a glorious dictatorship of the Lexetariat in which the cadres of Jezbollah are guided by the infallible mutterings of comrade Kipper but not all realise the struggle 4 lexit through #Brexit was opposed by powerful dequitivist revocateur counterbrexiteer forces
it is often thought the salvation of #Brexit was entirely due to the genius of comrade Kipper corbyn class warrior and Eric morecambe impersonator but we should not forget the heroic cadres of Jezbollasists who inspired by the teachings of comrade corbyn worked 2 save #Brexit

#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.

#BREXIT craziness update so maybots deal is blown out of the water l. Similarly corbyns vote of no confidence fails and won't be backed by SNP and lib dems
Despite her #BREXIT deal being defeated by biggest margin a government has lost a vote ever maybot seeks concessions on backstop despite being told to bog off by the EU with no realistic hope of a different answer
Corbyn meanwhile refuses to talk #BREXIT without no deal being ruled out despite knowing she can't do this whilst maybot makes no concessions either.

So what are the latest symptoms of the brexophrenia that afflicts our country #Brexit
Maybots deal is dead there is no prospect of another deal but maybot is terrified of both no deal and no #Brexit so she goes to EU and is perplexed to discover they say what they mean and mean what they say
She cops the biggest defeat in the history of parliament but the Ln survives a confidence vote and the funniest bit is that having survived an internal tory confidence motion the tories can't remove her

#brexit seems to be all about feeling over fact and this is especially true of the ReesMogg ERG faction of the Tory right.
I never bought the line that #brexit is about Democracy because most of the Tory right had zero enthusiasm for improving democracy in the UK few of them care about unelected house of lords the unfair FPTP electoral system or transparency on the contrary
Most of the Tory right are interested only in constitutional changes that suit them and if anything strive to be as little democratically accountable as possible.

1. Worst national leadership in my lifetime forcing through the most damaging, misguided & missold policy I can remember. Ideology & vested self interest replace statesmanship, soundbites replace sound judgement & autocracy subverts democracy.
#Brexit harms us irreparably #FBPE
2. A flawed Leave campaign based on lies, deceit, disingenuity & over simplification & a #Remain one fought w/o any positivity from the Govt & no real commitment from Labour, whose leader was virtually AWOL, did no justice to #Brexit complexity & betrayed our democratic process.
3. A mere 37% of voters/26.5% of the Ppl voted leave in a legally Non-Binding test of public opinion which has been corrupted, on the basis of an illegitimate political promise & interpreted as being the irrefutable Will of the Ppl.
The 1st is insufficient to claim the latter!
