Jeremy Hunt does his 7-min opening speech at the front of the stage, whereas Johnson stayed behind the lectern
Hunt looks a bit startled to be there, but comes across as wanting the job more than Johnson
"I will never provoke a general election before we have left the EU. I won't do it." But if he's PM in 2022 he won't have a choice

Support for ‘no deal’ Brexit is the pinnacle of Leave's descent into zealotry. The end result of refusing to plan

Like Trump, 'no deal' advocates have flooded the debate with “alternative facts”
It won't end well

THREAD! PLEASE RETWEET!

The increased support for a ‘no deal’ Brexit is the ultimate failure of the Leave movement. It’s the inevitable consequence of the refusal to grasp details, come to terms with complexity & coalesce around a plan. Compromise can be frustrating. So instead they will have a tantrum.
Some Brexiteers advocated sensible solutions. The EFTA/EEA solution gained a lot of traction in the years before the ref. Even Farage had promoted it & countless others. See Farage below from 2011 essentially making the ‘Liberal Leave’ case!

As I mentioned before, it's a very impressive lineup for @The_Convention_ today.

The inimitable @HenryCPorter (who I've come across on other unrelated campaigns in the past) is opening events now (Lara Spirit, host for the morning is alongside).

.@SebDance and @Femi_Sorry nailing what losing free movement means for all Brits on @RemainiacsCast:

‘It will restrict a right and opportunity that was available to all Brits to being the sole preserve of the wealthy’.

Hallelujah. Looking forward to making the pro free movement argument with you during the #Referendum. Any #PeoplesVote campaign that doesn’t argue for it - albeit properly managed - will alienate the pro European grassroots whose support and energy they will need.
We have hundreds of @BritishInEurope case studies of people from ordinary families who used free movement to build better lives for themselves. And examples of how other EU countries manage it under EU law. We’re a resource, not just an advocacy group. Use us.

Nothing to see here. Nope. It's not like the #EU is under the control of the #globalist #cabal or anything. And they certainly wouldn't embrace fascism as a means to achieve their leftist ends....right?

Cont.

In his speech at the PES Congress recently, he made it clear that the EU Commission under his leadership will have zero tolerance for countries that oppose any part of his globalist progressive agenda, especially migration from the third world.
Cont.

If elected, he promises to crush all conservative governments in the EU and make Europe and Africa a joint continent.

So now we have combat ready armored vehicles with the EU flag which are being used against unarmed European protesters who are demonstrating against a pro EU authoritarian regime.

Still think the #EU is a “project for peace”?

#Mscron #GiletsJaunes #YellowVests #Paris #France
The biggest lie that the EU, the mass media, and the people who support it tell everyone, and to themselves, is that the EU is a democratic organization.

The EU isn't a democratic organization, it's actually the excat opposite.

dispropaganda.com/single-post/20…
Meet the president of the #EU, #DonaldTusk, who was never democratically elected into office of course, that's not how they do things in the EU, and who is also one of the most corrupt and despotic politicians in the whole of Europe.

Just ask #Poland.
