Going to call this out by the way. I've spoken to several #Brexit party supporters on its lack of democracy

They either think its "temporary" or doesn't matter. They're "fighting for Democracy" via a totalitarian leader

They're stupid, or careless, or authoritarian themselves
There is no longer any point messing about here. There are lots of decent #Brexit voters who are now on the fence
But voting for such an obviously dodgy populist authoritarian because you want Brexit so much?

BxP supporters are idiots or anti democrats

Every #Brexit MEP should be called out on this. How can you represent a Company with a CEO who can't be challenged? How can you attack the EU for being undemocratic when there is *no* democracy allowed in the BxP?

Do you even know what democracy is?

And to the Corbyn supporting outriders, the media figures & MPs trying to protect him from his actions, *this* is the fight you should be fighting

Shame on you protecting a fool when this is happening in front of you

#Brexit - of the right, by the right

1) Corbyn = #Brexit = NHS sell off
Difficult to understand attitude of remaining Corbyn supporters as being any more than a cult of personality in the same vein as Farage (only less successful currently)
Corbyn supports Brexit, and Brexit means the dismantling of the #NHS
2) Whatever Corbyn says, or his supporters believe, there is no Labour #Brexit, or Jobs first Brexit, or "protect the NHS" Brexit, there's just Brexit - and a weakening of the UK's protections and institutions which will undermine the NHS and worker protections
3) it's well documented that there is no love for the NHS, or worker protections, in the right wing of the Tory party and Faragists. Its also well documented that the NHS is disliked by many US interests because its powerful enough to set drug prices

1) no ideal is more central to Labour's core than the NHS

So every MP from Corbyn downwards should be making 1 calculation today - #Brexit not only risks workers rights but our universal healthcare & therefore must be stopped

Instead the usual, because Labour have fallen so far
2) Labour cannot guarantee they will be in power forever (they may not be in power at all) therefore, at some point a Farage/Tory government *will* start selling off the NHS post #Brexit, through ideology or desperation. It's only a matter of time

3) it would be inconceivable for any Labour opposition leader to not vigorously defend the NHS at any other time.

We have a Tory/Farage alliance bent on No Deal #Brexit & on bending the knee to the US.

This is the biggest threat the NHS has ever faced

1) Lib Dem are not centrist
There's 2 political spectrums
For 60 years we focused on the 1st, Left and Right, Labour and Tory

Everything that wasnt Left or Right became "centrist"

But what we're seeing now is the most important spectrum, Liberal & Authoritarianism
#Brexit
2) What we're seeing in Labour & the Tory/Brexit party is the emergence of authoritarianism

If you see Corbyn essentially ignore his members, mislead people on "Jobs first" Brexit, damage the Labour Party & are OK about it "because Jeremy".. maybe you're actually authoritarian
3) if you don't care that a small cabal of men control Labour, then it's similar to the lack of interest in Brexit party supporters in the lack of internal party democracy

Some people just like someone to be in charge. Some like to follow a figure rather than policies

That the Lib Dems top a poll of Westminter voting intention is not the surprise.

That it has taken so long for this to come to pass is the odd thing.

Brexit has made being pro-EU or anti-EU is the primary cleavage in British politics.

The Lib Dems have understood it. The Brexit Party has understood it.

The Tories and Labour are struggling still.
Whether it is *desirable* that this is so is another question. Corbyn seems downright annoyed that it is ("We want to talk about ending austerity!" you hear him scream).

But this is the basis on which a forthcoming election will be fought.

Keep on with Brexit or stop it.

The basic problem with the Brexit Party is that though leavers may not be thick, their representatives very much are. They have a two dimensional concept of trade and international relations and that is why they are pushing for such a reckless gamble of a #Brexit.
They think trade is just a matter of sorting out tariffs. Explain to them that it involves everything from data adequacy agreements through to maritime surveillance and intellectual property (to name just three of three hundred), you'll be met with a blank stare.
The base assumption is that businesses trade with each other without the intervention of government - but it is through harmonisation that we have erased many of the impediments to trade and created vast new markets on anything from carbon trading to data services.

I believe this is same Alexandra Philips who worked for Cambridge Analytica in hugely problematic Kenyan election, isn’t it? Shame no-one asked about her role in what NGOs described as ‘dirty data-driven campaign’ marked by anonymous attack ads & viral fake news vids #democracy
Phillips v interesting figure because she was close to Farage before & after worked for Cambridge Analytica & is now a Brexit Party candidate in south east. It’s a small world
..not to mention the weird deaths of Kenyan election officials. Note too Phillips’ previous role at UKIP alongside convicted money launderer George Cottrell. So many questions. But sure, go on BBC & lecture viewers unchallenged about party funding...

1. Now y'all know I have a problem with the leadership of the #Brexit movement. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, they lie constantly and they never know what they're talking about. From WTO rules to EU border controls, they haven't a clue between them.
2. When confronted on TV they offer up empty mantras about believing in Britain or postulate that german car makers will come racing to the rescue. Always with the view that it will be alright on the night. Never any credible answers.
3. They also have some pretty daft ideas. Especially, but not exclusively, the lexiters. They seem to think that a split from the EU gives them carte blanche to do as they please without any reference to the international ramifications.

After listening to four days of post Mueller Report US cable news broadcasts (as podcasts) I’m experiencing a phenomenon I’m going to call ‘reckons nausea’. /1
Not because the reckons are inherently nauseating, but because the Trump debate is evolving into a new phase - one that derives its qualities from metastasizing stupidity. /2
To understand why, let’s forget about Russia-Gate for a bit and zoom out. /3

#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.
