This is the problem with Labour's Brexit stance: individual parts of the party are busking it even as Corbyn teeters on the fence...
This is incidentally exactly what happened during the European elections: most Labour MEPs campaigned individually on a Remain platform. Labour stayed on the fence. Labour got wiped out.

Has anyone got experience of self-publishing a non fiction book on Twitter with a huge number of endnotes (1,000+). Each is just a URL link (to a source of information backing up a comment or assertion).

I worry how readers and Amazon will respond to a massive block at the end?
Sorry, should have been clearer in the original tweet: self-publishing *on Kindle*. I believe that drastically reduces formatting and other options.
NOTE: this is what the endnotes look like at the moment in the draft text (ignore the red squiggles, they're from spellcheck)

Where's the lack of democratic legitimacy in the LibDems' Brexit stance? It's in two parts. Both are important!

1) If they *win* a majority in a GE, they will revoke A50 and remain. [As the majority party they get to enact their manifesto. That's how our politics works.]
2) If there's no GE or they don't win a majority in a GE, they will campaign for a 2nd referendum with Remain option, and campaign for Remain in it. If Remain wins, Brexit will be cancelled. [This retest of the will of the people makes revocation legitimate.]
Now, I can understand some people griping that a 33% (or whatever) vote share that delivers a GE majority is less than 52%, but you can't compare a GE to a referendum. Chalk and cheese. Under our current political system, a majority of MPs at a GE *is* democratically legitimate.

What's the deal with with Jeremy Corbyn? For those who haven't followed the story, here's why so many people, and especially Jews, are concerned about the man who presided over the Labour antisemitism crisis. [A thread based on camera.org/article/jeremy…]
2/ Let's begin in January 2006—it's not the very beginning, but still a very good place to start. Not for the first time, Corbyn then campaigned for the release of two convicted terrorists who who set off a bomb at a London building HOUSING JEWISH CHARITIES and at the IL embassy.
3/ In 2009, #Corbyn warmly called Hezbollah "friends," described them as committed to "peace, social justice, and political justice," and called on people to support them. Hezbollah, a proscribed terror organization, inter alia had BOMBED AN ARGENTINA JEWISH CENTER, killing 85.

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

3/n

Labour leader @jeremycorbyn delivering #Brexit speech in Wakefield: Let there be no doubt: Theresa May’s deal is a bad deal for our country and Labour will vote against it next week in parliament.
Corbyn: If the govt cannot pass its most important legislation, there must be general election at the earliest opportunity.
Corbyn: If general election cannot be secured, Labour will keep other options on the table, including another #Brexit public vote

1) #FBPE & Corbyn, a personal tale
I really would love to not be talking on Twitter every day about Corbyn. But the fact is, he is one of the most high profile & most prolificpro #Brexit supporters out there

And he's misleading people
theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
2) the one thing that will help us move forward is the realisation that there are only 3 options for #Brexit, no deal, May's deal or Remain.

Once people realise that, and that both leave options are rubbish, it will focus minds

Corbyn is deliberately preventing that happening
3) Corbyn is now essentially the loudest voice lying to people about a mythical 4th #Brexit option

He is selling snake oil, consciously & deliberately, saying "no, we don't have to accept May's deal, there's a jobs first, fairly painless deal available if we just tried harder"

Why have I changed my mind since the 2016 EU Referendum and why it is wrong to continue to support Brexit?
Nothing has convinced me otherwise.
Let the people have the final say
#PeoplesVote #RemainerNow #tory #labour #libdems #brexit
The country is divided and some of the reasons many of us who voted Leave have been laid bare: immigration, lack of respect, fear for your job and squeeze on public services.
#PeoplesVote #RemainerNow #tory #labour #libdems #brexit
Trust me, sovereignty was way, way down the list!
We lashed out upsetting the apple cart and gave the government a bloody nose and like many got joy at watching David Cameron lose his job.

1. Worst national leadership in my lifetime forcing through the most damaging, misguided & missold policy I can remember. Ideology & vested self interest replace statesmanship, soundbites replace sound judgement & autocracy subverts democracy.
#Brexit harms us irreparably #FBPE
2. A flawed Leave campaign based on lies, deceit, disingenuity & over simplification & a #Remain one fought w/o any positivity from the Govt & no real commitment from Labour, whose leader was virtually AWOL, did no justice to #Brexit complexity & betrayed our democratic process.
3. A mere 37% of voters/26.5% of the Ppl voted leave in a legally Non-Binding test of public opinion which has been corrupted, on the basis of an illegitimate political promise & interpreted as being the irrefutable Will of the Ppl.
The 1st is insufficient to claim the latter!
