98 days to exit.
There are things we must do urgently.
We need to build our strategy and be very focussed.

2/. We cannot waste a minute.
We need to invest our time and effort with people, organisations and strategies that are fully focussed on the Pro EU and Remain agenda.
Sometimes we wonder who they are. Is #PV Remain?

5/. We all have to find our own political home.
I am not normally much into party politics but Brexit has forced me to make choices.
No one party is perfect but I have chosen one that ticks most of my boxes and allows my vote to have meaning in surveys and policy.

6/. I respect that other people May make different choices BUT those of us who are committed to Remain and Pro EU cannot afford to waste another minute or another £ unless it is on projects and parties that are committed.

8/. @GuitarMoog is right.
We saw the resignations.
Then the appointment of the cheats from Vote Leave being moved into No10.
Priti Patel, who was forced to resign because she went behind our country’s back to deal with Israel, installed.
A right wing coup

No trade Unions.
Just you and me. It’s urgent

11/. Remember.
That Johnson speech sounded like a GE /manifesto speech.
Full of wind and flowers. No substance.
It is possible we are looking at the start of a GE campaign in less than 8 weeks. He will seek to jump time
