No-Deal is a specific (extreme) version of the thing 17.4 million people voted for three years ago.

Just like how not everyone who wants pizza wants Hawaïan pizza, not all Brexit voters want no-deal.
Yes, you heard me!
No-Deal Brexit is the Hawaïan pizza of Brexits! 🍕🚫🍍😂
It's offensive to our (Italian) friends across the Channel, it's destined to result in the exclusion of those who don't eat pork, the people behind it like to give it a pretty sounding name to mask its horror, and if a family member suggests it, it can ruin an evening.

It is mathematically impossible to please the 52% who voted for Brexit because they wanted different outcomes.
Anyone who says "I didn't vote for a deal. I just voted to leave" is basically saying "I don't understand how international relations work because I believed Brexit wouldn't inevitably lead to a new treaty between the UK and the EU."
If we leave with the deal, loads of Brexit voters will be furious. If we leave with no-deal, loads of Brexit voters will be furious.
So why are we doing this?

This not only proves that Brexit voters voted for COMPLETELY INCOMPATIBLE OUTCOMES, but it shows that a #NoDealBrexit was not the one that even most LEAVE voters intended!
UKIP! BLOODY UKIP was only 21% No-Deal in 2016!

Can we PLEASE be mature!?⬇️
The narrative of "we'll hold all the cards in the negotiations" was proven wrong and now you're pretending you voted for the thing you said would never happen. (No-Deal = tariffs & damage to EU-UK trade)
Imagine if they asked remainers which treaties they voted for:
Norway Deal - 0%
No Deal - 0%
EU Treaties - 100%
Canada Deal - 0%

So again, I ask, why have we added together the votes of Leavers who wanted completely incompatible outcomes?

Have you ever signed a contract, and let the other side write the terms of that contract 3 years later?

When they had the referendum on the Good Friday Agreement, every single voter was mailed a copy of the agreement, so they got to see the deal they were signing first.

#Brexit
The Brexiteers who keep saying it would be undemocratic to let people vote on the specifics of our negotiated Brexit, are just lying to you. They fully understand the logic. @Jacob_Rees_Mogg for example...
@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Then there's Boris Johnson himself, who literally said that a Vote to leave was a tool to renegotiate our relationship with the EU.

Nearly three years on from loss in #Brexit referendum, you might have thought that @hmtreasury would have learned the futility of the #ProjectFear tactic. Apparently not, judging from Chancellor Phil Hammond in @FT this morning ft.com/content/036a55…
A big scary number - in the case, a trillion-pound claimed pricetag for UK #netzero - leaked to media without any calculations given and with no context. Credibility zero, as everyone knows economic model outputs are only as good as the assumptions and inputs... so what are they?
Break the figure down - and assuming that the figure is expressed in constant 2019 numbers, but who knows? - that's about £30bn per year. Which doesn't sound quite so scary even if it's correct, with UK GDP around £2.5 trillion per year

Love the Brexity idea that business wants certainty and disorderly exit in a week provides a sort of horrific certainty. Like that father and daughter in Deep Impact, who go to the beach to hug and watch The Big Wave of Death come. Explained here by leading #Brexit light @isaby.
This clip also explains why we have Brexit at all, by the way. Because that dude, three years ago, couldn’t even get anyone to sit with him at the bingo hall and now he’s a sort of alt-right Z-list celeb. How could he possibly let that go?
These fucking glazed hams with eyes.

9/17: Manafort working on "Kurdish referendum"

"...the Kurdish referendum, scheduled for Monday, would not immediately trigger independence, the American gov't and the international community have expressed serious concerns about it. "
"They fear that, if it passes overwhelmingly, as expected, it could further destabilize Iraq, damage the coalition fighting the Islamic State, and potentially spark violence in disputed areas."
"...the State Department urged Kurdish leaders “to accept the alternative, which is a serious and sustained dialogue with the central government, facilitated by the United States and United Nations, and other partners.”

As a #leavernow it is pleasing to see the no deal #Brexit that all 17 million people voted for being delivered
With jaguar landrover relocating to Slovakia it is wonderful see the groundswell against the car industry which was a key part of the reason for #Brexit being heeded this will be especially welcome in Sunderland which voted 63% leave and has Nissan and want rid
A no deal #Brexit will ground flights as a #leavernow i know leave voters will welcome this. Aviation attracted much resentment in the years up to the ref because it made it too easy for foreigners to come here #Brexit was intended to destroy the successful uk aviation industry

So remainers are supposed to get behind #Brexit but what exactly are supposed to be getting behind
How does someone who doesn't want to see the United Kingdom break up get behind #Brexit that makes it more likely
How does a remain voting patriot get behind #Brexit which is supported by a hostile foreign power precisely because it is harmful
