THREAD: In 2016 Labour were a 'Remain & reform' party
In 2020, if there's a PV, they're likely to be officially neutral

That's huge. That's a win for Lexiteers. NO major parties campaigned for Leave. If Lab are 'neutral' in PV, that's closer to pro-leave than anyone in 2016. 1/
In the referendum, the Tories campaigned for remain, yet were the ones offering an option to leave & were the ones tasked with curating a deal. So how come now Labour are getting stick for the awkwardness of striking a deal, then some MPs choosing to back remain? 2/
It's obviously not ideal for Lexiteers like myself, I'd prefer Labour to campaign solely for their deal. I'd also like a million quid & all my hair back but such is life. If Lab ends up abandoning a remain & reform position to be neutral, how is that not a win for Lexiteers? 3/
Corbyn is Frodo in Mordor. We've known it from the start, his was the impossible task of making a palatable brexit happen, as LOTO, whilst fending off knives aimed squarely at his spine. That he's still leader is amazing, that he's kept Labour on course for leave is masterful 4/
If Labour are neutral, w/ MPs campaigning to their own preference, then JC himself could actually be on the leave side. It would be his deal on the ballot so that would make sense anyway & he'd finally get to promote leavin the EU that he's campaigned against his whole career. 5/

THREAD: The simplest way for Corbyn to win #brexit is to refuse to endorse a GE until a delay is secured from Brussels.

BJ needs an election b4 the 31st Oct but can't be to blame for calling one. JC can call his bluff by insisting on a solid guarantee of avoiding 'the cliff'. 1/
Corbyn is reported as having endorsed a GE in any circs, but his advisors quickly moved to suggest a condition might be an already secured delay so that no matter who wins the election, the so called no deal armageddon would be averted. 2/
Tho he's tryin to steal a march, BJ is not the only route to an election, parliament can still get there via a proper VoNC which would allow JC to unceremoniously dethrone Johnson while securing an extension to take away the forced drama of an election on a cliff edge. 3/

THREAD: Corbyns foresight explained.

Why did this life long critic of the EU position himself as chief opponent of 'no-deal' (actual brexit)?
Because he saw how parliament was going to obfuscate the concept of leaving. To ride that wave would be a route to victory. 1/
The hidden truth of #Brexit is that 'no deal' does not actually mean 'no free trade deal'. It means no to the Withdrawal Agreement, which carried with it insane obligations that no other free-trade partner of the EU, like Japan or Canada, had to sign up to for their deals. 2/
To leave on WTO terms under the current circs "could create a degree of chaos" according to JC. An interesting choice of words that implies a temporary & manageable level of disruption, owing to the fact the gov hasn't spent the last 3 years preparing for it. 3/

THREAD: JC wins whether a VoNC passes or not.

Centrists are warnin a VoNC is not guaranteed to pass, w/ Jess Phillips et al openly saying they wont support it. If they don't, they'll enable BJ to take us out on WTO, then the great brexit distraction will finally be over. 1/
If the unthinkable happens & we do leave with no deal on the 31st Oct, Brexit Party instantly becomes redundant, Lib Dems lose their only selling point & a great many Tory voters will abandon their party since the only reason they had left to vote for them will be behind us. 2/
With the political spaghetti junction that is brexit out of the way, we return to domestic issues, and none of the other parties have even a scintilla of a solution to those pressing issues the public are concerned about. In a post brexit general election, Corbyn is unleashed. 3/

Kenapa ORANG HINDU (BALI) BERIBADAH & BERAGAMAnya begitu?

Maksudnya.....🤔

Kenapa Orang Bali (Hindu) TIDAK PERNAH Mengganggu dan Terganggu Dengan Umat Agama Lain?

Karena mereka yakin dengan kepercayaannya!
Fokus Ada seorang anak yang setiap hari rajin sembahyang ke Pura, lalu suatu hari ia berkata kepada Ayahnya; "Yah mulai hari ini saya tidak mau ke Pura lagi"

"Lho kenapa?"sahut sang ayah.
"Lho kenapa?"sahut sang ayah.

"Karena di Pura saya menemukan orang² yang kelihatannya rohani tapi sebenarnya tidak, ada yang sibuk dengan gadgetnya, sementara yang lain membicarakan keburukan orang lain".

Dear U.K.

We need to have a serious talk.

98 days to exit.

There are things we must do urgently.

We need to build our strategy and be very focussed.

Thread.
2/. We cannot waste a minute.

We need to invest our time and effort with people, organisations and strategies that are fully focussed on the Pro EU and Remain agenda.

Sometimes we wonder who they are. Is #PV Remain?

But liberal Tories and Labour are getting the message.
3/ We have all had enough

As the last throes of the Tory leadership played out the Lib Dem Membership ramped up

Big time.

Over 6k new members & subscribers since @joswinson ‘s leadership speech.

c1k since Johnson’s cabinet announcements

Thread 1/6
To #Labour voters who back a #PeoplesVote and are campaigning to #Remain in the EU, please ignore this angry article. It does not speak for the majority.
The worst thing Labour supporters like Owen can do at the #EUElections2019 is lecture and patronise Remain voters.
2/6
 Instead, let's be honest about the progress made in moving #Labour policy on #Brexit forward, while recognising we are not where we need to be.
The good news:
-203 Labour MPs voted for a #PeoplesVote in parliament
-34 Labour candidates have signed the @Remain_Labour pledge.
3/6
 Less good news:
- The NEC decision confirms that backing a #PeoplesVote is an 'option', but did not commit to it unambiguously.

#Remain campaigners have every reason to be frustrated. But instead of attacking them (as Owen does), we need to convince them to stick with Labour

1) @RomanCabanac is co-founder of the party with me and @Neo_Ydidi
2) @Anatinus is our strategist. She has volunteered her services which we have gladly accepted. It’s not “her party”. (I’m her husband and proud to be.)
3) @purplecowmobi doesn’t give a damn about the court of public opinion. We support rule of law.
4) For too long, there have been people such as yourself attempting extrajudicial character assassination through gossip and innuendo.
5) Fraternity — Freedom of association, is one of our core principles. This means we also associate and have conversations with those we fundamentally disagree with. That’s called being civilised.
6) @RomanCabanac has been attacked by those very people. We’re okay with that too.

To change the EU is Mission Impossible says @DrLeeJones

Leftist Remain&Reformers (R&Rs) acknowledge Lexit criticism of neoliberal capitalism entrenched by EU but say it requires transnational response, not retreat to national politics.

@tfbrexit #FBPE #Remain #Brexit
What's the best response to this?

First, R&Rs of all stripes fear democracy and the demos
- but Brexit voters were not duped & are not dopes, they made an informed choice, however imperfect.

Mason / Varoufakis highlight *danger* of Brexit is return of fascism.
Second, despite criticising Brext "folly", R&Rs haven't "presented any plan, viable or otherwise, for reforming the EU.. This is not due to a failure of imagination. It is because the EU cannot be reformed along socialist lines. it is actually very hard to change the EU at all."

1. All of this was predicted by some 2yrs ago & #Brexit lost when May backed by Corbyn invoked A50 w/o a clue what they were doing.
Gross negligence & a lack of due diligence. The deceitful party political game play since then is a travesty of Democracy. ft.com/content/0df20c…
