This is the weak spot of #Brexit, its fatal flaw

Remainer MPs need to raise their game and get some *passion*

"Get Brexit done? Which Brexit?
No deal? Country doesn't want it
May's deal? You all blocked it
New Deal? Doesn't exist
Pick one for God's sake!"
"you've had 3 years for pity's sake and you still can't agree on a #Brexit deal even inside the Tory party never mind for the Country. For God's sake just pick something real rather than some Johnson fairy story and let's ask the people. Enough is enough"

If we're going to win this, then Remainer MPs, please, for God's sake raise your game and take the fight *to them*

They don't have a workable #Brexit & they know it, they blocked the only workable one

Demand that they explain why they stopped #Brexit

1) probably shouldn't oversimplify, but I'm going to anyway

If @UKLabour don't want an election, they need to *all* get behind a Final Say 2nd ref

If they can't, they have to get behind a GE

But they have to all get behind *something* on #Brexit, and the problem is they cant
@UKLabour 2) and the reason why @UKLabour can't get behind any given position is they have a leadership out of step with most members & MPs, which *does* want #Brexit but then hopes to come into power in the chaos that follows

The membership know this really,but won't do anything about it
@UKLabour 3) *IF* Labour got fully behind a #PeoplesVote or a #FinalSayForAll it would invigorate the movement, make the public see it as a possibility and help us put an end to #Brexit

But Labour never will, because Corbyn never will

So fatigue sets in, and Johnson wins by default

Labour put us here. By refusing to unequivocally support Remain & a people's vote, by endlessly appearing on TV pretending that a "better" deal was possible, by sitting on the fence but most importantly, by indulging a brexiter leader we are in this desperate position
Honestly I've gone from fanboy status to being sick of hearing @DavidLammy, @jessphillips, @Andrew_Adonis and others shouting support for remain but doing nothing in practical terms to actually fight #brexit

They could have called Corbyn out, they could have left

They didn't
@DavidLammy @jessphillips @Andrew_Adonis Every Labour MP, every left wing commentator who pretended support for remain but stood behind Corbyn when it actually mattered, #Brexit is on them, because they knew the damage brexit would cause but did nothing of substance to stop it

Summed up in a nutshell - why are @bbclaurak @Peston @ShippersUnbound etc focusing on theatrics of "unsigned letters" and not on the key point, that they have been led by the nose by "Nbr 10 sources" about secret plans to thwart Benn act which,in the end, didn't actually exist
@bbclaurak @Peston @ShippersUnbound For weeks @Peston @bbclaurak and others have been playing Cummings' game of amplifying "we'll beat the Benn act with our cunning plans", but those plans were basically "we won't sign the letter"

They've been played & should take stock on what they've lost
@bbclaurak @Peston @ShippersUnbound There was nothing, Cummings has turned out to be not half as clever as he thought he was, Johnson has been forced into a climb down of his own making because MPs cannot trust him, we're not leaving on 31st as Cummings intended

And @Peston tweets this?

The first thing to say is that I write this thread as a Remainer, who thinks Brexit is an act of stupidity on the part of the UK. At the same time, I feel that pro-EU campaigners have misjudged the politics of the situation endlessly and may well up getting it wrong again 1/15
2/15 There was, of course, a lot of complacency in the run-up to the 2016 referendum, with people trusting the polls and believing that the populist insurgency couldn’t triumph. This was wrong.
3/15 Since 2016, many Remainers have done their best to obstruct #Brexit, while disingenuously pretending that this is not their objective. This has become increasingly transparent and no longer washes.

The day after the Supreme Court judgment we need to once more think: what next?

And specifically as pretty much all UK political parties say they want a General Election (GE), are the parties being honest about this?
First a technical point: 25 working days are needed to organise a General Election

Count forward 25 working days from today... and you get 31 October. #Brexit day.

🚨 The UK now cannot hold a General Election before exit day 🚨
Of course there is the interim stage: that the Prime Minister has to go to the European Council and request a Brexit delay, something Johnson has said he will not do.

Holding an election until that extension is secured is dangerous.

So @BorisJohnson heads to meet @JunckerEU filled with optimism about prospects for an 11th-hour deal.

I've tried to do a dispassionate analysis of what deal? Its negotiability in Brussels and its saleability in London? Can he thread the needle? 1/thread
telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/…
@BorisJohnson @JunckerEU DEAL 1 - the 'slice n dice' to abolish backstop.

- Agree all-Ireland SPS, electricity and travel area...and then
- kick the other (customs VAT etc) into transition/trade talks. /2
Negotiability with EU?

- practically zero. Would require massive EU u-turn on 'fully open' border in Ireland, Single market integrity. And to throw Ireland under bus politically.

- A border is a border, even if set back. Tech/exemptions cannot deliver.

Cant see it /3

#Brexit beyond current crisis. Question. If we assume that the #HMG & U.K. need a deal with EU27 at some stage, how does what PM Johnson is doing affect this. @BrigidLaffan
1. #HMG has increased risk & uncertainty for all of Europe but has not put a single document with credible solutions on the table. David Frost & Steven Barclay have got to Burssels saying we want a deal but no solutions. @BrigidLaffan
2. @BorisJohnson has just now prorogued parliament which heightens U.K. crisis & signals to EU27 that political turmoil is gripping U.K. There is no incentive for EU27 to do anything other than keep channels open. @BrigidLaffan

Brexit in a nutshell.

When you want to be a science superpower but tell people to use imperial measurements.

#Brexit @Scientists4EU
@Scientists4EU Just a reminder what happens when people stick to imperial units.

@Scientists4EU Imperial versus metric.

1. What is the volume of a cube that is 1 cm long, 1 cm high and 1 cm wide?

#brexit is a belief, a religion. There's no evidence to support it. It is just a blinkered faith. They believe what they want to believe. Their leaders are preachers, not politicians, & their reaction to doubting them is that of nothing less than a religious fundamentalist #FBPE
2. As such many will quite literally do this for some kind of reward in the next life or for a "cause" for their fellow followers. And when you read the words of some of their protagonists that is exactly what one sees.
3. And we must ask how it is possible so many have been converted to this religious extremism. In general it will the same as elsewhere, hardship, poverty, hate, a conditioned mind that is made to believe a specific group is the cause of their troubles.
