Hi, Ursula @vonderleyen!

A #Brexit question for you. If our unelected PM uses trickery and delaying tactics after losing a vote of no confidence in him, does he succeed in forcing the UK out of the EU?

I think it would be much better if the EU extended things until we can sort
out who is actually in power here.

Facts:

• The majority of the people in the UK do not want to leave, we want to #RemainInTheEU.

• There has not been a constitutionally valid decision by our Parliament to leave.

• Article 50 was activated by May alone, with no authority.
•The referendum was a fraud, won with lies, gerrymandering, foreign interference, a million missing postal votes, and illegally targeted FaceBook advertising.

These, and many more facts surely require that we are not forced out of the EU by Johnson and his far right friends.

Well now, we've had meaningless votes, and we've had indicative votes, and we have still not made anything sensible happen.

Here's a thing to try next. You'll need to tag YOUR MP in on it, even if they are the most useless creature that ever sat in the @HouseofCommons.
There's a vote they still have NOT had.

It's the free vote on whether to take the advice of the utterly corrupt advisory referendum, and leave, or be sensible and #RemainInTheEU

MPs have NOT voted on that. That decision has NOT been made.
MPs need to come up with a motion for a vote, and go to Mr Speaker with it.

About two thirds of all MPs want us to #RemainInTheEU. They can have a free vote on whether to #RevokeArticle50, as long as enough of them get together and demand it.

Right now, there are lots of MPs saying they want to #StopBrexit, but don't think there's a way do do it using existing Parliamentary procedures.

I will let you into a secret, MPs. Every single one of the existing Parliamentary procedures was made up at some point...
And guess what? You can do that as well. Stop being terrified of the ugly woman with the gigantic necklaces, for a start.

Now, organise yourselves by talking to each other. All of you need to go to the Commons chamber, stand there, refuse to carry out whatever business the...
...PM and her gang are trying to force on you. Tell Mr Speaker, you have all decided to have a vote on whether to leave the EU or #RemainInTheEU. Refuse to do anything else, for as long as it takes for him to agree with your demand.

Then vote. Remember, Parliament is sovereign.

The reason we are in this mess...

Most MPs are useless party drones, collecting their pay and expenses, and voting the way they are told to.

When the #Brexit advisory referendum result was announced, the correct next step should have been a Parliamentary debate on whether...
...the UK should leave, or #RemainInTheEU. That, as far too few MPs will admit, is their job. They should make decisions on our behalf.

The majority of them know we should not leave the EU, because they know how much harm it will do to everyone but a few very rich people.
About 400 MPs think we should #RemainInTheEU, but most of that 400 think that hanging on to their seat, no matter how much harm they do, is the best thing to do. Because pay and expenses matter more to them than we do. Because they are scared of the whips.

EU now see G7 as moment “there will be noise” on Brexit as Johnson holds talks with Juncker/Macron/Merkel/Conte
From Frost meeting last week it was clear UK does not have a plan for new talks
“No deal appears to be UK government’s central scenario,” said senior official
One ambassador said, “there is no desire to negotiate at all,”
UK asking for new EU mandate
“Will [EU] change the mandate? No. Change to what? What is the UK mandate ? There is not one,” said senior official
Frost also admitted that even without the backstop, the ERG could well block a deal
“Even if EU gave up the backstop there is no alternative”

#Brexit ALREADY costs UK £1bn pw as we Hit Holidays! @GoldmanSachs put that lower at £600m. but I'm looking at 2+% less GDP (than would have been); more Govt Debt (+interest); the growing impact of #Brexodus on jobs/taxtake; £devaln.&inflation creep, reducing Property values.1/20
@GoldmanSachs Am puzzled & mortified? that UK's so-called Major Political Parties @Conservatives @UKLabour seem umbilically disconnected? from the financial IMPACT of their recent (let's say) 'accidental collusions' and Brexit-Birth-Giving! Why the co-incidental & costly numeracy lapse? 2/20
@GoldmanSachs @Conservatives @UKLabour Assuming that (eg) @bankofengland @hmtreasury @ICAEW @The_IoD @cbicarolyn @FrancesOGrady are aware of UK's #Brexit financial haemorrhage? eg Govt Debt, Jobs/Tax, Businesses (all sizes), Individuals - there may be varying estimates? but agreement that a HUGE hit is ongoing! 3/20

NEW: @theresa_may is to request only 'short delay' to Brexit in letter to EU a government source has told @tamcohen. [thread]
news.sky.com/story/theresa-…
It’s understood her original preference was to ask EU for a short extension which could be lengthened if needed, or a long one with a break clause in it.
But @MichelBarnier told me yesterday that it’s short or long, not both.
.@MichelBarnier also made clear that a specific reason must be given to warrant an extension: “Needs to be linked to something new - a new event, new political process.“
So:
- election?
- 2nd referendum?
- new cross-party political declaration (removing May red lines)?

Feeling dejected about #Brexit? Well don't!

The UK still holds all the cards. They just need to be played correctly.

A short #Thread from Leave colleagues from the far south to the distant north of our wonderful island. With thanks to @ScotsForLeaveEU

1/ The EU & Irish govt have said that there will be no hard border with NI in the event of “no deal” at UK exit. But this means that the EU has also accepted that the EU is bound to do a ‘zero-for-zero’ deal with no tariff barriers with the UK.
2/ The border is frictionless & invisible, no checkpoints or other facilities at the border with the NI (& thus the UK). Tariffs are paid electronically, just as VAT & Excise are paid now; animal checks are done away from the physical border at approved facilities; & sanitary...

2015: EU a largely non-salient issue: small-ish strongly pro/anti camps. Wider ’rationally ignorant’ camps that were ‘relaxed’ / ‘instinctively suspicious’.
2016-8: latter camps reduced somewhat as more people enter ‘strongly pro EU’ [1/7]
For many on both sides of the ‘rationally ignorant’ camp “respect the referendum” seems to be more important than “leave the EU”.

One thing I don’t detect much of, tho, is a growing number of people in that camp who are strongly anti-EU on principle. [2/7]
Though there is some resentment of the EU’s “anti-British” negotiating stance, but that’s it. Some of the Leave-voting mild preference people seem to have switched to “leaving is a mistake” (often “too much trouble”). [3/7]
