1) Just a recap for #brexit supporters

Parliament, that's our sovereign parliament we voted in in 2017 after the referendum & which therefore represents "the will of the people", is being shut down by Cummings, an "unelected bureaucrat" who is also threatening MPs with the sack
2) someone held in contempt of parliament now has more control over parliament than any elected MP

Do you even know what you are actually fighting for anymore when you support #brexit? Because literally everything you said this was about, you've trashed

#StopTheCoup
3) oh and Gove has said the government doesn't have to obey the law

There is no gentle way of putting this

@bbclaurak & @Peston are no longer journalists in any real sense

They're simply billboards, being fed #Brexit distractions, dead cats & fake lines which they dutifully broadcast on demand

It's not real just because Cummings gave the line
The whole "briefing" thing is a nonsense now, they're not being fed the inside track, this is not a "scoop" or "journalistic tenaciousness"

It's a parody, a mechanism for disseminating the latest bait & switch from government, who know it will be reproduced without question
We could save license payers a lot of money if the BBC just gave the government use of a whiteboard twice a day on national telly

1) the fate of the country on #Brexit relies on one man doing the right thing

What this informed article tells us is that the sure fire way of stopping no deal is a specific vote of no confidence followed by an alternative government within 14 days

prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/how-c…
2) not to be overdramatic but all other routes are risky and could be blocked. But constitutionally the primary defence against a rogue government remains in place, vote no confidence, bring Johnson down, form a new government around an alternative PM and pass legislation
3) So there is only one actual blocker - Corbyn. Either insufficient MPs believe he can command the confidence of the house or insufficient (Tory mostly but not exclusively) would support him.

But if he is forced out, insufficient left Labour MPs would support anyone else

Corbyn, the "sorry I can't help it" thread
1) I know we are in #brexit crisis. I know we have to all pull together to fight the lunatics in nbr 10

But oh my fucking lord I've just watched Corbyn on #C4news

Ponderous, irritable, dull

The worst possible face of anti no deal
2) please, Corbyn supporters, just go watch the clip and tell me you think this man has any place in this fight.

Make no mistake, the Tory lunatics have done this to us but 3 years of hopeless, gutless triangulation and "constructive ambiguity" gave them a red carpet
3) If he had any decency, any integrity, any courage Corbyn would step aside, in fact would have stepped aside months ago.

And now it's possibly too late. His arrogance and the utter fucking blindness of his supporters have helped to bring us here

1. As Brexiteers, we are sick to death of the daily lies and manipulation from politicians, the media, large parts of the public sector, educational institutions en masse, and of course this new, weird breed of celebrity luvvie.

THIS PERVERSION MUST STOP.

#Brexit
2. From the very moment 24th June 2016 came, Remainers have tried every trick in the book to reverse the result of the referendum. They now tell us, every day, “nobody voted for no deal. It wasn’t on the table.” This is merely the latest perversion, the latest Remain lie.
3. Firstly, the phrase “no deal” is a Remain-concocted construct specifically designed post-referendum to be used as a vehicle to create an economic climate of fear over Brexit. Whether it is ‘hard’ Brexit, a ‘cliff-edge’ Brexit, or 10 other variations: the purpose is the same.

#Brexit supporters like me hold @realDonaldTrump in profound contempt. We know he’s a liar. He’s offered the U.K. *zero* special trade deals. He’s done nothing but insult the Queen.

If ever there was an argument for pressing pause and taking Tusk’s long extension, ERG, its this.
With a year, we can negotiate a better version of EFTA. Freedom of movement *without a job* can be eliminated. Common Market 2 solves many problems. #DelayBrexit
By the way, @realDonaldTrump, threatening our EU friends and allies like @campaignforleo and Ireland is totally unacceptable. It’s not what #Brexit supporters want or stand for. The ERG will find it as ugly as Remain do. Nobody believes you will do anything for the U.K.

As a remainer I scratch my head as to why #Brexit continues to enjoy significant support despite overwhelming evidence its a really bad idea so thought I'd offer a psychological explanation for its appeal to some of its supporters which simply cannot lie in objective reality
I have no knowledge experience or professional qualifications in psychology whatsoever but as this is #brexit Britain this means I know more than professionals like @RichardBentall so offer my brexpertise on the psychological appeal of Brexit confident in my total ignorance
Being a Brexiter means being part of a huge crowd where not only are you all cheering for the same thing but this crowd permits and even encourages behaviour and attitudes which are normally forbidden and some brexiters at least feel liberated from decency and reason

A constant refrain from my fellow remainers is name be a #Brexit benefit many devote immense energy writing detailed explanations of trade tarrifs or how the EU works. I am grateful to them as I have learned a lot from them yet we all wonder why it makes so little difference
It seems to me that a better question to leavers is what are you getting out of #Brexit why do you support it in the face of so much evidence that its a terrible idea and I would like to suggest the answer lies in the realms of feeling
We have all seen that #Brexit licenses all kinds of opinions that 1l0 years ago would have been unacceptable but more than that it licences BEHAVIOURS that usually are unacceptable and thus gives many adherents a immense pleasure

#brexit seems to be all about feeling over fact and this is especially true of the ReesMogg ERG faction of the Tory right.
I never bought the line that #brexit is about Democracy because most of the Tory right had zero enthusiasm for improving democracy in the UK few of them care about unelected house of lords the unfair FPTP electoral system or transparency on the contrary
Most of the Tory right are interested only in constitutional changes that suit them and if anything strive to be as little democratically accountable as possible.

BREAKING: Dover Brexit Impact Document obtained by @SkyNewsPolitics shows plans for Lorry Park on the M20 for “many years”
Dover clearly EXTREMELY nervous about traffic mitigation measures not working “there does not appear to be a Plan B”
THREAD: The report is pretty excoriating about central government and the lack of clarity on Brexit “We are unaware how the government will be allocating funding”
