1) #Brexit - the really obvious stinger
Numerous bright & articulate anti no dealers come on telly and get attacked by brexit supporters (whether MPs, commentators or the public) for "blocking Brexit"
Why do they never shut this down with "but Brexit MPs voted to stop Brexit!"

2) the oversimplified view is "get #Brexit done"
The reality is - which brexit? Because brexiters can't decide on one
So May's deal was Brexit, it stopped free movement, it had the red lines
The ERG voted against it, they voted against Brexit

3) now as remainers we all know why the hard brexiters hate May's deal, and as a Remainer I hate it as well.
But the point is, it *was* Brexit, and the hard brexiters *did* vote against it, and if they hadn't, we'd have left by now
But the point is, it *was* Brexit, and the hard brexiters *did* vote against it, and if they hadn't, we'd have left by now
4) so surely the simple, soundbite, easy to understand soundbite answer to "stop blocking brexit" is "but your leaders blocked Brexit!"
When the response comes "that wasn't *proper* brexit the follow up is "says who? Who decides for the country what *proper* Brexit is?"
When the response comes "that wasn't *proper* brexit the follow up is "says who? Who decides for the country what *proper* Brexit is?"
5) this is such an obvious response
"Do you want Brexit or not? Why did you vote against it?"
"The PM himself voted to stop Brexit"
"If you all agreed on what you wanted from Brexit we'd have left by now"
"So 30 Tory MPs and the DUP get to decide what 17.4m voted for?"
"Do you want Brexit or not? Why did you vote against it?"
"The PM himself voted to stop Brexit"
"If you all agreed on what you wanted from Brexit we'd have left by now"
"So 30 Tory MPs and the DUP get to decide what 17.4m voted for?"
6) I really wish our remainer MPs learned to play the game. We all know the dirty tactics of why the ERG voted against May's deal, and we didn't want it either
But the average Brexiter doesn't know that
Brexit was blocked by brexiters
If they hadn't, we'd have left by now
But the average Brexiter doesn't know that

7) it's such an obvious retort, if all the brexiters could agree, Remainers wouldn't get a look in, but they can't, they want 3 different kinds of Brexit or some undefined nirvana, that's the reason we haven't left
And if they cant decide, we shouldn't leave
And if they cant decide, we shouldn't leave
8) this is the final point, if brexiters cannot agree what brexit looks like, then they cannot demand we leave. They cannot demand we get there if they don't know where "there" is
We need to fight back on this
We need to fight back on this
