I see no problem with people pushing for another referendum after we vote to stop Brexit. But the leave option would need to be No-Deal and no negotiations at all for 10yrs minimum.
Because a No-Deal campaign where they (AGAIN) promise us some amazing deal we'll never get...🤢
To put it bluntly:
You can't use a (2016) referendum where almost everyone on the Leave side (people, pundits & politicians) all based their arguments on how well the negotiations would go, as a mandate or even a basis for a No-Deal Brexit.
We'd need a whole new conversation.
By definition, if you tell people we'll get a deal, you're telling people No-Deal won't happen. And EVERYONE said we'd get a deal.

Quick apology for not being able to live tweet tonight's debate. Family event planned months in advance. Enjoy the downfall of UK society. 👍🏿
For my little brother's birthday celebration, the parents have taken us to see Hamilton. It hasn't even started yet and I've spilt my drink on myself. My brother: Can't wait to see the daily mail headline "Anti-brexit campaigner wets himself during a play about freedom."
Just tuned in to #BBCOurNextPM in the interval....

If a No-Deal Brexit happens, when we look back on 2016-2020, public figures will be held PERSONALLY responsible. That includes media personalities!
Here are some simple facts and arguments which should be public knowledge by now. You have about 3 months to make it right.
Losing Single Market access DOES NOT mean we stop trading.
The Single Market is the system of shared EU regulations and the automatic acceptance of products from other EU countries when there's no common EU rule. It avoids having to comply with 28 sets of rules, lowering costs.

This is just the Brexit Party's Claire Fox being @Fox_Claire with me and @StephenNolan.
According to the brilliant logic of Claire Fox, if 30 parties opposed No-Deal-Brexit and they each got 3% of the vote (total of 90%), and only one party which supported No-Deal-Brexit and that party got 10% of the vote, the majority would want NDBrexit. Because 10% = more than 3%
There's nothing more dishonest than trying to use the Remain Camp's arguments to justify why we should leave with no deal.
Remain argued that Brexit would mean trade Barriers. Leave said it wouldn't.
You're saying "Remain was right but let's leave anyway"!
It's a bit like this ⬇️

Way back in 1975, the UK had a first go at figuring out if they wanted to stay in the European community (Common market), a friend shared with me the original literature (a chose your own adventure thread)
The UK had a plan in mind which was the New deal in Britain. Harold Wilson had a lot to say about this new deal, housewives and farmers got a lot of focus here. This was the general advice from the government at the time
Will we lose our sovereignty or will our current mates down commonwealth road like it? Look! Some facts!!

1) the #Brexit 2nd ref, a possible solution to the options

As momentum builds for a #PeoplesVote there's some concern that the Leave side will pull the same tricks they pulled first time around

What if we could ensure fair, or at least fairer, play by all sides?
Here's 1 option
2) there's 2 distinct characteristics of the Leave campaign, 1 of which was arguably unique.

The first was that the offer from Vote Leave was fluid & vague. It would move from "we'll stay in the SM" to "we'll get access" to "the SM doesn't matter" and back
3) the second characteristic was even more unusual. The Vote Leave campaign, perhaps for the first time in UK history, made promises & took positions based on what a 3rd party, outside the UK, would do

Essentially Leave made promises concerning the EU they had no control over

OK so let's see where we are with #Brexit 1/ the government is clearly scared Shitless by no deal as this story in the daily mail proves google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dail…
Thus no deal is not really an option cis however brexiters might dismiss it as #ProjectFear or scream betrayal the government is far more afraid of no deal chaos
Theresa Mays #Brexit deal is shit and both leavers remainers hate it. This is not Mays fault as any deal would always be inferior to EU membership

People keep saying we should have a vote on the #Brexit "final deal".

I don't think we should wait. Why not?

Two reasons-

1/ We already know there is NO version of #Brexit that wouldn't do us all (apart from the very rich) real damage. If we #RemainInTheEU, we can get on with
repairing the damage that #Brexit has already done, which is considerable, and carry on with improving things for all Europeans.

2/ I suspect May's plan is to run us out of time, so we crash out with no deal, and hence no time to vote on it. All her delaying tactics have been
aimed at that result, including trying to extend MP's extremely long holidays, to prevent them from stopping her crazy game.

I think we can't get Parliament recalled, as the usual way to do that would need the Government to ask the Speaker, and May won't allow that.

I'm currently at this #Brexit conference in Copenhagen, where the British ambassador and several #DExEU officials will be on panels with representatives of Danish trade and security. It'll be very interesting to see what's said, especially in light of May's recent Munich speech.
And now that I'm not desperately trying to keep up with livetweeting it, I shall turn my mess of self-retweets into a proper thread. #Brexit #BrexitDK
acknowledges #Brexit will have challenges; emphasises no naïveté regarding "land of milk and honey". Refreshing sense of pragmatism; we'll see how #DExEU and DK reps present it.
