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)
2c) there's 30% in the middle, soft brexit/soft Remainers. They are who we have to go after. We shouldnt however try to persuade BxP supporters but just take them on and isolate them
3) 1 final thing, from what I've seen so far the new BxP MEPs are often as thick as planks. Remainer MPs need to agree cross party on a set of simple qs to be asked in any debate situation, such as:
"if you love democracy, how is it OK that its impossible to change your leader?"
"if you love democracy, how is it OK that its impossible to change your leader?"
