Important point here
Corbyn's Labour simply will not engage in #RemainAlliance pacts even though they risk letting the far right in because
A) Corbyn is a brexiter and
B) the leadership is arrogant & tribal
If you are still in @Uklabour you're complicit in this
#Brexit
@UKLabour It's brutal honesty
If Labour Remainers and Labour Remain MPs work with the #RemainAlliance we have a chance of a progressive government AND stopping #Brexit

If they stand with Corbyn we all lose & a Farage/Johnson government forms

Time to pick a side

@UKLabour Corbyn stands on the wrong side of the #Brexit argument and always will, a vote for any Labour MP who is not a committed remainer is a vote for a hard right #Brexit (because there are no other Brexits available now) as Corbyn cannot win

@UKLabour It's no longer about austerity or nationalising railways.

On one side is stopping #Brexit and a far right government, on the other is a Farage/Johnson pact

Corbyn will not form an alliance
Johnson and Farage will

He is a liability and a vote sink

1) interesting article on Cummings which gives some important insight on his elite privilege based career

Suggests the Durham trip was no more or less than a panic induced escape because everything seemed to be collapsing after herd immunity

consortiumnews.com/2020/06/08/let…
2) highlights something however that I cannot believe our media has not picked up on
Cummings was never tested for COVID
Neither was his wife
Their son tested negative

There is no evidence that anyone in the family *ever* had COVID

consortiumnews.com/2020/06/08/let…
3) this of course is a burning question. The 2nd most powerful man in the country is so convinced that his family is COVID stricken that he breaks lockdown and drives 260 miles
Then returns to the heart of government
And yet *never* gets tested?
Really?

1) Cummings, really, why the genius tag?
Not of the greatest importance but keep wondering why Cummings is seen as this great genius, I mean really, what has he actually achieved that is meaningful & sustainable?

Let's examine the evidence
2) Covid19 - bypassing for a moment the current row over his personal behaviour (though as a side note it's now been revealed just how hypocritical his man of the people anti elitist persona really is)

Arguably the "stay at home" messaging was very effective..
3) but everything else about the Covid19 government response, which we must assume he coordinated, has been an unmitigated disaster

Herd immunity, late lockdown, PPE, care homes. Everything. 2nd highest death rate with the most warning of any European nation, and we're an island

1) The Boss has lost it
So you're a Tory MP, probably a new one, and you've heard the boss is a rockstar and his right hand man is a political genius. You think you are well set for a long time in power.

You've heard about #Brexit and GE landslides being attributed to this pair
2) You see the boss's popularity get even higher and you think "these 2 are amazing, Labour can't touch us".

Then #Covid19 appears, but the boss says everything's going to be OK.

Then you see the UK move to the wrong ends of the "worst in the world/best in the world graphs"
3) Then you finally see the great performer in PMQs, you've been looking forward to this....

...but he's actually a bit rubbish. Blustering, falling over his words, light on detail. You start to worry

1) easiest crystal ball in history
There seems to be a lot of shocked & surprised Tories around today & whilst it was shocking, why is anyone surprised?

What did think would happen when you elevate a lying chancer to PM? What part of his history is inconsistent with today?
2) there's a simple point to make here.Tories, mostly brexiters, knew Johnson's (lack of) character, flaky buffoonery and self serving nature.They knew of the dishonesty of the Brexit campaign but also the utter lack of a moral compass

But they wanted #brexit, so held their nose
3) lots of us were concerned about Brexit but a lot of us looked on in horror at the manipulation of people's fears, the brazen populism, the attacks on parliament & our institutions. The latent fascism as immigrants were othered, intellectuals attacked, the "will of the people"

1) Amongst many other failures and outright lies from Corbyn's Labour on #Brexit this, the lie of a "Jobs first, protect workers rights Brexit" is right up there

Corbyn and Labour conspired to throw away worker & regulations protections, the greatest rights loss in history
2) There was *never* a jobs first #Brexit but more importantly a "protect workers rights" #Brexit was a complete & deliberate lie

Yesterday we enjoyed pan european workers rights on maternity, working time directive, sick pay, a whole host - that's all under threat
3) Corbyn proposed a "protect workers rights" #Brexit but what did that mean? We would by law enforce the same rights for our workers as they did in the EU, how? By what mechanism would they be enforced? By treaty?

And we would have no say over these rights outside of the EU

1) @UKLabour - what happened?
Fundamentally 4 blindingly big errors were made by Labour, and at least 3 of them were obvious years ago

Firstly, Labour could only ever, strategically, be a Remain party - they could never out #Brexit the Tories - but they never found a route
@UKLabour 2) whatever the northern seat position was, you cannot win as Labour with Brexit lite, just as Labour couldn't win 10 years ago with austerity lite

The Brexit camp was full, strategically the only route for Labour was full throated Remain - they never got there
@UKLabour 3) if Labour had found the way to full Remain they could have joined the voices saying all #Brexit versions were bad, there were no good Brexits. They could have spent 3 years saying Brexit was a right wing project

But they couldn't,because they pretended *their* Brexit was good
