Labour equivocate their Brexit position even further. Now, they may back Boris Johnson's deal. They must really really hate the idea of winning a GE. Put a fork in them, they're done.

Reading about the Fermi Paradox (hey, there's no intelligent life *down here* so I had to expand my horizons...) it strikes me that the most plausible explanation for lack of alien visitation is the "we've not been around long enough" one.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_par…
In other words, since we've only been broadcasting for 124 years, an alien civilisation would have to be within 124 lightyears of Earth to have even noticed. And if they were more than 62 lightyears away, we wouldn't have seen a response yet even if they fired it off immediately.
So it's somewhat hubristic to expect a visit from aliens this quickly. Unless intelligent life is very, very common, and listening *all the time*, we could quite easily have passed undetected so far despite our progress to date. But it's far more hubristic to assume we're alone.

What happens if...
1) Boris Johnson fails to get a new deal
2) BJ guns for no deal
3) Parliament decides to block no deal
4) Parliament tries to pass legislation to revoke A50

Can Parliament do that? Not clear. Why would they do it? Because a GE might still produce no deal.
So if MPs are really really serious about killing off no deal, a GE is too dangerous. Even a second referendum arguably is.

And what of the democracy argument? Well, things really will have changed. Because MPs will be faced with someone absolutely determined to inflict no deal.
So it's no longer abstract. It's something actively being manoeuvred towards.

If you've not yet quit Labour, today's the day to cut up your membership card (and cancel your direct debit of course!) They've just bottled the VONC, even though this was the last possible day to call it and be 100% certain of getting a snap GE done by Brexit Day. RT RT RT!

‼️Boris Johnson is Britain's Donald Trump

– Complete with Breitbart's Bannon and Russia Cover-Up

BORIS JOHNSON
MAIN MEGA THREAD

Boris Johnson is/was advised by Steve BANNON – Trump’s campaign manager & VP of the notorious, now-shuttered electioneering firm Cambridge Analytica, which he co-founded in 2014 w/ hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, who also backed the Breitbart sites.
bylinetimes.com/2019/06/12/bor…
📌Johnson and Bannon became friends when Johnson was still Foreign Secretary and Bannon was still in the White House in early 2017.

📌They have been in contact ever since and the fruits of this friendship have been evident for some time

Perché la #Brexit si è oramai avviata verso una possibile catastrofe, perché oramai i due scenari più probabili sono quelli più estremi possibili e perché non bisogna credere alle parole “caute” (secondo alcuni) di Boris Johnson - perché non erano caute. THREAD (IN ITALIAN) 🇬🇧🇪🇺
1. Oggi è stato un giorno importante, anche se passato sotto traccia: prima di tutto, Boris Johnson ha finalmente lanciato la sua campagna per diventare leader dei conservatori e premier. Il suo discorso è stato estremamente importante. E rivelatore. 🇪🇺🇬🇧 #Brexit
2. Innanzitutto: non credete a coloro che dicono oggi “Johnson ha messo il No Deal” (l’uscita del Regno Unito senza accordo dall’Ue, potenzialmente catastrofica, ndr) “all’ultimo posto”. Non è vero. O meglio, non corrisponde a quello che accadrà. Vi spiego perché. 🇬🇧🇪🇺 #Brexit

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

1. It's too early to call it but there is a good chance May's #Brexit deal won't make it through parliament - which is a window of opportunity for an alternative approach. And, unsurprisingly, the EEA floats to the top again as the only game in town. (thread)
2. And isn't that interesting? The ERG brexiters have wailed and wailed never once presenting their own credible alternative and even now they have a second crack of the whip, what have they got to say for themselves? Nothing.
3. We see all the usual ultra brexit propagandists working round the clock to discredit May's deal (as if that were even necessary) but still they have nothing at all to put in its place. The cupboard is bare. And now they are going to wail about the EEA.
