If your family suffers from No-Deal blame these Labour MPs

@Y_FovargueMP @CarolineFlintMP @KevinBarronMP @JonCruddas_1 @SarahChampionMP @GloriaDePiero @JulieForBurnley @FitzMP Rosie Cooper @grahamemorris @lisanandy @GlindonMary @SKinnock @OnnMel @MikeHillMPl Dennis Skinner #Marr
Boris Johnson is not going to present a deal that protects UK Jobs ESPECIALLY in the Labour heartlands some of these MPs claim to represent. And even if he did, most Brexit voters wouldn't like it.
So all these MPs are doing is facilitating No-Deal.

Here's Caroline Flint leading a @UKLabour charge towards a No-Deal Brexit on #Marr.

If Brexit was EVER really about giving power to the people, we wouldn't even be thinking about letting a Prime Minister who was chosen by the textbook "political elite" (Tory MPs) force a No-Deal, when the majority of the PEOPLE voted for parties whose manifestos opposed No-Deal.
For too long we've been democratically shy. Feeling like we shouldn't really be speaking out because of the 2016 referendum result.
Brexit was totally undefined in 2016. We've only had two chances to rule out specific versions of it, and the MAJORITY of the UK has spoken TWICE!
So a No-Deal Brexit isn't for the people: we chose parties who said they wouldn't do it. So if the politicians want to drag us out with No Deal, they can no longer hide behind the idea that it's the "will of the people", because they'd be defying it.

Once you realise that there was always going to be a formal relationship struck between the UK and the rest of the EU, you know that unless 17 million Brexit voters all had the same ACHIEVABLE rough idea of what they wanted it to be, there's no mandate to end our current one.
The fact that "Leave" can mean anything from the Brexit deal we've negotiated to a no-deal Brexit proves that the only mature way of interpreting the word "leave" is "have a different relationship with the EU", for which the government was not given any specific instruction.
Honestly, come at me!
The logic of the tweet above is flawless and expressed in fewer than 280 characters. So any politician or journalist who fails to communicate that to the public is either incompetent, a coward or intentionally misleading the people of the UK.

Under UK Law Murder requires doing something which you ought reasonably to have known would, by virtual certainty, cause grievous bodily harm or death.

More so than most policy areas, seriously harming the NHS means on balance fewer people live.

Still with me?
When Boris Johnson promoted Brexit (using the NHS) in 2016, doctors were already saying Brexit would harm the NHS.
BUT
The Brexit vote and the parliamentary processes since then have broken the line of causation between him and any medical consequences.

Really glad to see the Corbynistas taking the announcement of the @EHRC investigation into #LabourAntisemitism in such good grace..... Oh.
Because there's no Jew-hate in the Labour Party.

Oh.
Exoneration is just around the corner.

Oh.

Would a deal travel through the Parliament? Although Tory whips are optimistic, securing a Commons majority on a CU is a very high hurdle. Recall only 36 Tory MPs backed the idea in last month’s indicative votes. There is already a backlash among Brexiteers against her plan 1/
This could provoke Cabinet resignations. @jeremycorbyn might also not be able to deliver Labour’s 246 MPs, as May has set her face against a referendum on her deal. Without that, Labour MPs who back Remain and want a public vote might not support a May-Corbyn compromise 2/
Backers of a referendum claim up to 150 Labour MPs want one. Potentially, that would leave @theresa_may needing the backing of more than 200 of the 313 Tory MPs, which will prove an extremely tall order 3/

Thread 1/6
To #Labour voters who back a #PeoplesVote and are campaigning to #Remain in the EU, please ignore this angry article. It does not speak for the majority.
The worst thing Labour supporters like Owen can do at the #EUElections2019 is lecture and patronise Remain voters.
2/6
 Instead, let's be honest about the progress made in moving #Labour policy on #Brexit forward, while recognising we are not where we need to be.
The good news:
-203 Labour MPs voted for a #PeoplesVote in parliament
-34 Labour candidates have signed the @Remain_Labour pledge.
3/6
 Less good news:
- The NEC decision confirms that backing a #PeoplesVote is an 'option', but did not commit to it unambiguously.

#Remain campaigners have every reason to be frustrated. But instead of attacking them (as Owen does), we need to convince them to stick with Labour

Thread: I’m going to go back over some of my Brexit articles from the past half year to see if I can learn from what I got wrong..
“My sources say a no-deal Brexit is likely, but my head says there’s bound to be a deal. Which is right?” (Nov) Neither, it turned out
independent.co.uk/voices/brexit-…
My head was right – there was a deal – but I didn’t see parliament wouldn’t agree it, & I hadn’t realised there was a 3rd way: postponement

Okay, we've got far enough now that we can see No. 10's #Brexit strategy. /Thread
It's basically to bring things to a head as late as humanly possible - December to late January. At that stage they will squeeze Tory rebels with (among Euroenthusiasts) 'it's this or chaos' and (among Eurosceptics) 'it's this or no Brexit at all'.
Early signs - this will help with the pro-Europeans. Will probably work there. With the Eurosceptics? You can squeeze them, but probably not below 20-30, surely.

Which party has the oldest average age of MPs? THREAD
First off, we must thank-you all. We launched a poll on Monday expecting maybe 500 responses maximum. Instead we had a whopping three-thousand-two-hundred-and-thirty votes on our Twitter poll.

That’s ridiculous.
We asked you which party you thought had the oldest average age of MPs.

Most of you, 66%, thought it was the @Conservatives, then the @LibDems (15%), then @UKLabour (14%), with the @theSNP coming in last with (5%).

I bet the SNP are feeling fairly youthful right about now.
