Labour is NOT getting access to the Single Market post Brexit.
The deal isn't happening. No Deal obviously loses that access. And PM Boris Johnson will not be negotiating for Single Market access.
So anyone in Labour not pushing for a Peoples Vote is de-facto supporting No Deal.
Now that means all of ⬇️⬇️⬇️THIS⬇️⬇️⬇️ will be on YOUR personal shoulders.
I'm talking grass-roots activists, right the way through to Corbyn and the Tories. Given that the only way Brexit happens is via No Deal, if you haven't been campaigning actively to let people reject a process EVERYONE sees has failed, the consequences of No Deal are on you.
I want you to know, there will be no excuses to hide behind if that happens. You could've been going door to door since the deal was published, telling people "Brexit is leading to us having less say over our laws... UK sovereignty was under threat, so let's vote." You didn't.
I'm tired of people thinking they can bury their heads in the sand and then come out the other end of this smelling of daisies. Everyone who had a voice and didn't use it will be responsible for every single consequence of No Deal.
P.S This thread (the idea of not letting people hide behind things by taking out those excuses) was inspired by Serenity. 😉

These companies... Ford, Nissan, British Steel, Honda, Airbus etc.. due to Brexit their UK operations are like a house with its foundations removed. Sure, Brexit didn't immediately cause the collapse, but when the winds of diesel, China, automation etc blew, they were vulnerable.
But don't worry... Brexit has no effect on Ford AT ALL!

It's all project fear. Brexit is the last thing on Ford's mind... theguardian.com/business/2018/…

Labour's head of Brexit, Keir Starmer, announced that we were at the stage of campaigning for a public vote IN JANUARY.
Every time Labour spokespeople say it's not yet time to campaign for a public vote, they're telling us that NOBODY SHOULD TRUST LABOUR!
There is a term for people who tell you they're being faithful to you, then while being manifestly disloyal, tell you that YOU'RE the one being unreasonable... It's what the Labour Party is currently doing to its members and half the country.
Prove me wrong. START CAMPAIGNING!
The message is so simple:
▪️We oppose No Deal (That's in your manifesto. EASY)
▪️The Tory Deal leaves us less sovereign than EU members. (Brexit voters agree. EASY)
▪️Public vote is the only way to save UK sovereignty.
▪️Let's put this to bed so Labour can deliver real change

Remainers, please...
We cannot treat every Brexit-voter like they're the synthetic love-child of Farage & Tommy Robinson. A couple of people I saw today treated a typical "posh Tory brexiteer" as if he was actual Hitler. We only fix the UK through CONSTRUCTIVE national dialogue.
I may have revealed my view of "posh Brexiteers" with that tweet. As far as I'm concerned, middle class remainers who just want status quo and middle class Brexiteers who are happy to let the struggling struggle more for their vision of sovereignty... Bad as each other.
Because half of the comments seem to be along the lines of "Too late Femi. You're responsible for this" I suppose I should probably leave this here.

Labour leader @jeremycorbyn delivering #Brexit speech in Wakefield: Let there be no doubt: Theresa May’s deal is a bad deal for our country and Labour will vote against it next week in parliament.
Corbyn: If the govt cannot pass its most important legislation, there must be general election at the earliest opportunity.
Corbyn: If general election cannot be secured, Labour will keep other options on the table, including another #Brexit public vote

1) How much of a threat is the Spain/Gibraltar question to the #Brexit summit on Sunday? This issue has the potential to be either a) huge or b) to disappear in to a puff of smoke
2) Spain feels hoodwinked. Gibraltar is of huge national interest (and hurt pride) for many Spaniards. Many at the very least saw an opportunity with #Brexit to gain considerable influence over the Rock
3) At the beginning of #Brexit negotiations Spain was promised that no decisions could be taken over the future of Gibraltar without consultation with Spain which is why throughout the negotiations process, there have been bilateral Spain-U.K. talks in parallel

1) Ambassadors of 27 EU governments expected to see draft of political declaration on post #brexit EU-UK future this morning. Should start leaking out soon after if that is the case ..
2) PM’s suddenly scheduled extra meetings in Brussels on Saturday are, I suspect, part-choreography for U.K. domestic consumption to give sense of her battling the EU to win ‘concessions’ at the last moment
3) That said, there are issues on table - such as the PM insisting on language in political declaration implying that her Chequers #Brexit plan is not dead
