Nevermind Article 50... Some of these Tory MP are going full-on Article 48!!
#OneForTheHistoryBuffs
For those of you who get that reference and think that tweet is unfair or extreme, have a think...
Article 48 is widely considered to be one of the key tools used for the creeping dictatorship that occurred.
Proroguing Parliament to defy its elected mandate, is exactly that!
If you fancy doing some light reading to understand why the people saying we should prorogue Parliament are so terrifying... google.com/search?q=artic…

Is it bad that I'm watching #LoveIsland for the first time ever, and 2 minutes in, the strongest desire it's awoken in me is my need for a holiday?
Anton have a word with yourself! Your mum should NOT be doing that! #LoveIsland
"It's not up to the girls who they're going to hook up with. It's up to you"
Oh I'm sorry... I didn't realise I was watching the Handmaid's Tale.

Brexit is not THAT complicated!
▪️2016: 52% voted Leave
▪️2017: 80% voted for Parties whose manifestos said to Leave
▪️2017: 53% voted for parties whose manifestos said we must NOT leave without a deal
▪️Most hate the deal
Only MORE democracy can solve that contradiction!

Correction: roughly 84% of the vote was for pro-Brexit parties in 2017.

A) Labour took votes from people like me who saw voting for them as the only way to stop a hard Brexit and we were right at the time. yougov.co.uk/news/2017/06/2…
B) Doesn't change the fact that the majority voted for parties who opposed No Deal.

If you know that 83% of UK doctors and the organisation which represents all of them (@TheBMA) say that Brexit will be bad for the NHS, you just need to ask yourself which you care about more:
Brexit, or the NHS and the lives of British people.
Evidence:
bmj.com/company/newsro…
theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
bma.org.uk/news/2018/augu…
independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
If the British Medical Association, which represents doctors across the UK, is using the word "catastrophic" to describe what Brexit would do to the NHS, YOU KNOW that means 1000s of lives.
Anyone who ignores that due to political tribalism... How is that NOT an extremist?

Tory MP Richard Drax: "We will manage because we're a great country. And we will survive."
Again, note the relentless downgrading of expectation from everything-for-everyone to bare survival.
But one other thing. This constant refrain about us being "a great country". Yes, we are. But that did not happen because of some sort of mystic religious destiny.

A short thread on how we got to where we are:

#Tory Party 2015:

Cameron:
Those extremist Eurosceptics in my party need to be stopped.
I'll call a Referendum on Europe once and for all
I'm a winner, I've just won a GE no one expected & Scottish Indy campaign
I know how to win
#Tory Party 2016:

Leaver #Tories: Let's
Take Back Control
They need us more than they need us
Those German Car makers will get Merkel to give us a good deal
It'll be the easiest trade deal in the world

People: Ok - let's #Brexit

Cameron: I know I started this but I'm off
May:
I'm here.
Strong and Stable.

May:
There will be no General Election till 2020
We will be out of the Customs Union
We will not be under ECJ rule
I'll remove your rights to live & work in EU but I'll call it a good thing because Immigrants are bad

#Tory conference on the horizon & the 'no deal' #Brexit vultures circle the carcass. All the usual suspects incl' Littlewood, Singham and @SteveBakerHW for the IEA. @isaby, @Jacob_Rees_Mogg, @DanielJHannan, @patel4witham, @andreajenkyns for @matthew_elliott's BrexitCentral......
Thick as thieves...... Hannan and Singham again, Bromund of 'Anglo-American Relations,' Steifel of the Cato Institute, for the Heritage Foundation. The IEA again, this time with Arlene Foster and Nigel Dodds of the #DUP.
Flies on a turd..... Elliott's infamous 'Tax Payers' Alliance,' with Priti Patel again, and, of course @LowTaxChloe. The Bruges Group, with Patel (again), Jenkyns (again) and @OwenPaterson.....

(1) The extreme accommodations being offered by Grassley & Mitch are the greatest #BlessYourHeart in history.

They know she will NEVER repeat her allegations under oath.

They know the votes next week WILL be 11-10 then 51-49.

They know Kav will NEVER be impeached.

#Chill
(2) OK I used a little poetic license in Tweet #1. They can't know exactly what the votes will be; there's more than one way to #ConfirmKavanaugh next week. Any judge *could* theoretically be impeached on a new issue, but IMHO Kav is the least likely person ever to commit crime.
(3) I've had it with all the shrieking over this confirmation. No, ongoing Democrat slime ball tactics to undermine Kav once he's on the SCOTUS are not going to succeed. Haven't you learned this by now?

The more they try, the more they show voters who they are. #WalkAway
