This is how corrupted our politics has become

1) Brexiter MPs are raging about the Scottish court declared the parliament shut down was illegal because it was about Brexit, *even though* their main defence was that the shut down was standard & had nothing to do with #Brexit?
2) I'm not even sure how to write this it's so convoluted
We all know the parliament shut down was about #Brexit
The brexiters are upset with the court for this very reason, and are attacking the judges, again

Yet their PM insists that the shutdown is *not* about Brexit
3) so basically every time a #Brexit MP complains about "pressure being applied" to judges (a disgusting smear in itself) by anti #Brexit forces, they are admitting what we all know, that the shut down was only about Brexit and Johnson is lying

Can we have a Labour #Brexit reality check please?
1) lot of good people getting themselves all bent out of shape on the #LibDems policy of #RevokeA50 without really absorbing that this is all about Labour zigzagging on a #FinalSay

It's Corbyn's fault for demanding a GE!
2) a reminder of recent history.

Anti #Brexit/no deal groups focused on a #PeoplesVote 2 years ago. Labour conference last year tried to push Corbyn into an unambiguous PV stance with a ton of CLPs putting motions forward - they were sidelined
3) the Labour powers that be morphed 100s of "we want a PV" motions into "we want a GE, if we can't get that, we look at other options, one of which might be a PV"

This happened - and it allowed Corbyn to fuck about for 2 years

Couple of points on latest "outrages"
1) vote Tory in a GE - Vote for some undefined fantasy position between no deal & a great deal

Vote Labour - Vote for some undefined position between a great deal & remain via a referendum

Vote Lib Dem - Vote for Remain

#Brexit
2) if Lib Dems get a majority, it's a new, fresh democratic mandate for Remain that overrides the 2016 Ref

If Tories or Labour get a majority, it's not a mandate for anything that can be defined because they won based on an unknown - that great deal that hasn't been defined
3) If Lib Dems *don't* get a majority, there is no clear mandate and the only way to solve #Brexit is via a 2nd Referendum - this is Lib Dem policy

Only the Lib Dems could claim a mandate for anything on #Brexit following a GE, the other 2 parties could not

1) Interesting piece on how an hard left activist became a #Brexit Party candidate

From what I can make out, he just enjoys being on the fringes, being an agitator, and sees himself as a "free thinker" (whilst ignoring the many issues with Farage)
theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
2) this matches my own experience of SWP types in Uni, a mix of rich kids guilty about privilege and agitator types who just used the gloss of SWP to give them an excuse to disrupt, be edgy & be on the fringes

There's a subset of people who just want to break things
3) it's not surprising that Lexit is a thing on the far left, nor that those far lefters can switch to #Brexit. It's the joy of breaking things, of being "right" when 90% are wrong. The politics don't matter.

Staggering lack of self awareness from the interviewee

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/

Throughout the #Brexit negotiations, Brexiteers & Theresa May’s Government have consistently misunderstood the EU-27: their politics & their EU theology. Yesterday they doubled down on that misunderstanding.

Here are some of the ways in which the UK just doesn’t get the EU.

1/6
1. We think Germany is the only country that matters in Europe. We fetishise Berlin. We’re blind to the daily horsetrading & lowest common denominator politics of the EU. And underestimate the immense difficulty of turning the EU supertanker around on any collective position. 2/6
2. We chose Brexit, even though it will make us worse off, because we understand some things matter more than money. Yet when it comes to understanding the EU’s motives for a deal, we simply assert they need one to avoid economic damage. Perhaps contradictory, perhaps stupid. 3/6

Chuka Umunna is the media's go to person when they want a Labour comment on many things especially Brexit, even though he's not a front bencher and doesn't support Labour Brexit position. For fairness the media should be truthful about his history as covered on the Thread below:
The core question about Chuka Umunna: Is he principled or just an opportunist? Take a people's vote, i.e. another referendum on #Brexit. He's championing one now but only a short while ago he was dead against one.
The core question about Chuka Umunna: Is he principled or just an opportunist? For instance a people's vote, another referendum on #Brexit. He's pushing for one now but only a short while ago not only was he against it, he voted against a vote!

2/ Consider Ukraine. In September 2013, before the overthrow of Yanukovych one of Putin's adviser's Glazyev threatened a Russian attack on Ukraine if it signed an Association agreement with the EU - an utterly unacceptable stance in modern Europe. theguardian.com/world/2013/sep…
3/ This, is of course exactly what happened after the overthrow of Yanokovych. But here is Corbyn in April 2014 faithfully parroting the Kremlin account that Putin's actions were a response to a far-right coup in Kiev and NATO expansionism. morningstaronline.co.uk/a-972b-Nato-be…
4/ And there's Syria. The horrors we have seen on TV and in the press are perhaps only 1/1000 of the reality of the barbarism inflicted on the Syrian people by Assad & Putin. But antiwar campaigner Corbyn has made hardly a squeak of protest.
