Any MP thinking of voting for the withdrawal agreement Boris Johnson (probably won't) bring back should never have been allowed to pass GCSE maths.

If a significant segment of the 52% who voted for Brexit opposes it... THEN THE MAJORITY OPPOSES IT. Are you democratically stupid!
Now you've realised that we're in this mess because none of you recognised early enough that it's mathematically impossible to please a 52% with wildly different expectations, maybe you'll pass the decision back to the people before the people come for your jobs with a vengeance.
Seriously, if Brexit actually happens and we end up in a relationship with the EU that has an approval rating lower than 48% (and given our track record for negotiations... what do you think!) I hope you all realise the lack of wisdom and moral conviction you've shown.

Ask those calling for an Election: WHY?

They'll either say so we can elect a Parliament to handle Brexit. In which case WE ALREADY VOTED. It rejected Deal & No-Deal.
Or they'll say something that can only be interpreted as giving PEOPLE the final say on Brexit. In which case...
The sheer **** hypocrisy of wanting another vote on Parliament because it's not handling Brexit the way you wanted, but calling it undemocratic to give people a say on the outcome of 3 years of negotiations, knowing it looks NOTHING LIKE what was promised....
ESPECIALLY when one of the reasons Parliament isn't handling Brexit the way you hoped it would is because the majority voted for Parties who promised to keep the benefits of the Single Market... Meaning you literally want another vote because the last one didn't go your way!

As someone who is ... let's just say... a big fan of Heath Ledger's Joker ... I am SOOOOOOO EXCITEDD for today!!
#JokerMovie
OK #Joker loses one star for handholding the audience a little too much. Not everything needs to be explicitly explained.
Other than that...
Also, get ready for a year of people blaming #Jokermovie for societal violence..

Here is your response to anyone who says a vote to Remain in 2016 could have been a vote for an EU Army, loss of veto, the Euro or joining Schengen...

Any of those changes WOULD HAVE REQUIRED ANOTHER REFERENDUM!

eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/…
And for anyone looking to be 100% x 100% sure what "referendum condition" is...
legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/12/…
So when Nigel Farage says that Remainers were voting for an EU army (that includes the UK) ... He's knows that's project fear... In short... to cite the great @SebDance... HE'S LYING TO YOU!

People must have this fantastical idea of politics where MPs are allowed to do whatever they want.
Everything will proceed according to law. that's why it's so predictable.
First will be a Queen's speech. It doesn't have to say much, but it has to be there, and it can be amended.
And at the end of that week, regardless of anything else, if there is no withdrawal agreement, Boris Johnson has to ask for an extension.
By law.
That's how you know the future. It's what the law says. A Queen's Speech, followed by a withdrawal agreement or an extension.

There really is no other possibility than that.

If we are at a state where the likes of Caroline Lucas/Yvette Cooper are offered up as leadership propositions then British society as a whole is so degraded and debased that there's nothing left worth saving.
As bad as the current govt is, there is something about that duo that makes me physically ill even to think of. Smug, snobby, sanctimonious and entitled to the max. There is no bandwagon they won't leap on. The UK could not survive with virtue signalling as its only policy basis
Theirs is the politics of spoiled middle class liberals who buy into the establishment's projected self image - who were genuinely surprised by #Brexit because it interrupted their childlike notion that the UK was a progressive utopia as embodied by the 2012 opening ceremony.

MINI THREAD - Next General Election

There are some mixed messages coming from #Boris on what sort of #Brexit he will deliver on October 31st.

Here's my perspective as a voter on what happens in 3 scenarios

#BrexitElection

/1
If GE is before 31/10 choice will be

1. @conservatives (featuring @brexitparty_uk)
2. @LibDems (featuring @UKLabour & @theSNP)

A Tory/Brexit Party pact would result in a Leave landslide everywhere outside London & Scotland. Lab wiped out in Mids & North

#BrexitElection

/2
GE after #Boris failed to deliver Proper #Brexit on 31/10 choice will be between

1. @brexitparty_uk
2. @LibDems (featuring @UKLabour & @theSNP)

TBP wins in a landslide outside London & Scotland. Tories wiped out. Labour wiped out in the Mids and North

#BrexitElection

Odd comments from the PM in Scotland:

"We've got to be clear that the backstop is no good. It's dead. It's got to go. The Withdrawal Agreement is dead. It's got to go. But there is scope to do a new deal."

It took May 550 days to negotiate the WA. A new one won't emerge in 90.
Not least when the British government's position is they won't even start negotiations unless the EU backs down on the backstop wholesale before they even start...
On the Withdrawal Agreement, the PM says: "There's no point coming out of the EU if you're going to be run by the EU and that was the result of the backstop."

To be clear, that's the Withdrawal Agreement Boris Johnson voted for.

Let’s talk about Boris

One of most disreputable, toxic, selfish politicians I’ve ever met. As Tories choose between British Trump & ex-Health Sec who’s mission was to destroy health service, let's remember why #Johnson is #UnfitForOffice

2018: Letterboxes
Wrote that women wearing niqab looked like “letterboxes” & “bank robbers”; triggering attacks on our Muslim community, “letterbox” graffitied on homes, and giving racists new language in hate speech

As editor of the Spectator he was responsible for - and clearly condoned - this racist drawl. He and his racist worldview has no place in Parliament, let alone @10DowningStreet

OK, debate begins on May's third-meaningful-vote-it's-not-a-meaningful-vote-but-actually-it-is-she's-a-desperate-liar.
Rattling boombox Geoffrey Cox is up for the government. "This should've been the day we left the European Union," he says.
"I do not intend to review how and why we have arrived at this point." Bet you don't mate.
