Remainers need to vote in this idiot's poll, even if just to stop the bad PR it creates...
πŸ‘†Just a little bit more please...πŸ™‚
πŸ‘† 55-45% now! (Screenshot taken in case he deletes the not-going-his-way poll early).

3 hours left to push it as far as it can be pushed...

Whichever aspect you look at, I'm convinced it'll get much, much worse before there's any glimmer of anything getting better. Like in WWI, hopes that "it'll all be over by Christmas" will turn out to be wishfull thinking.
πŸ‘†The "U"K is heading for the worst time it's ever known; so bad that it won't even survive as the "U"K. The non-England bits will swirl around the toilet bowl then recover; England will go round the u-bend and end up in the sewer. Thanks to #Tories & people who vote 4 them.
πŸ‘† My optimism says that, one day, all bits of the ex-"U"K will be back on even keels, with good sensible government.

My realism says that there's a mountain of shit to shovel between now and then.

Sir Keith Joseph, Thatcher's Cummings, said (paraphrasing): "If we don't have a plan to deal with "stupid" we'll be consumed by "stupid". We won't win *against* "stupid", ever."

The right-wing came up with a plan... 1/4
2/4 "Let's stop trying to 'lead' and instead just say we'll give people what they say they want - there are a lot more stupid voters than not-stupid ones - we'll win forever - and we won't have to give them anything, really!"

That plan now has a name: populism. And it works.
3/4 It's why we now have a #Tory government led by unscrupulous, lying chancers. And that, in turn, is why #Brexit happened and the #NHS is on its knees, with the "U"K heading for split-up and oblivion.

Traditional polling doesn't predict well in the context of increased #TacticalVoting.

In 2017 May was further ahead in the polls than #Borisconi is now: she lost her majority & spent Β£1.2bn of *your* money buying 10 MPs.

Hang parliament more & #Borisconi can't do that.

1/3
3/3 (What Prof. Sir John Curtice says):

It's down to parliament and @JolyonMaugham to stop it now, if this is true. πŸ‘‡

"Brexit: Boris Johnson says he has secured 'great new deal' with EU – live news".

theguardian.com/politics/live/…
πŸ‘† Oh, hang on - the #DUP aren't on board & won't vote for it...
πŸ‘†Didn't @theresa_may have one of those?

What happened to that?

Did it collapse in flames?

It's certainly worth getting this πŸ‘‡over the 100k mark so it could get debated! Only hours left!
πŸ‘†If you do one anti-#Brexit thing today...

But it has to be today. It's the last day.
πŸ‘†It's at over 94k now - just 6k short of getting it debated by MPs!

Personally, I don't want a "People's Vote". It would be a bit like a criminal getting off on a technicality. We all know that Cameron fiddled 2016, mainly by not setting a supermajority requirement. Only #Tories promised to implement the outcome of that fiddled 1/5
2/5 referendum. So having to have 'another go at it' implies that there was some validity to the 2016 one; there wasn't- Cameron made sure of that. In the same way that the Supreme Court's decision yesterday put aside Johnson's fiddled prorogation attempt, parliament
3/5 should put aside Cameron's fiddled referendum...because it was fiddled. If, in future, after revocation of A50, parliament decides to have another referendum on the "#EU membership question" (unfiddled) then fine; but having a referendum isn't the way to
