The % of Brits saying the new Brexit deal is bad has risen from 23% to 30% since last week - although most of this change is from Remain voters increasingly disliking the deal. The % saying it is a good deal stands at 18% (from 17%).
yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
Likewise, the % of Brits who want MPs to reject the deal has risen from 24% to 29%, again a result of hardening attitudes among Remainers. Leave voters continue to overwhelmingly want MPs to accept the deal (70%) yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
Leave voters are increasingly unwilling to allow for a delay of a few weeks in order to pass laws implementing the Brexit deal. Where last week they were split 46%/42%, now by 51% to 33% they say a delay would be unacceptable yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…

Con - 36%
Lab - 23%
Lib Dem - 18%
Brexit Party - 12%
Green - 6%
Other - 6%

And our most recent survey on who people think would make the best Prime Minister showed:

Boris Johnson - 43%
Jeremy Corbyn - 20%
Don't know - 34%

Earlier this week we found that Britons expect the Conservatives to win the most seats and votes at the forthcoming election yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…

For #WorldEnergyDay here's the % of Britons who have a favourable view of each type of energy:

Solar - 86%
Offshore wind - 81%
Hydro - 80%
Onshore wind - 76%
Bio-fuels - 75%
Geothermal - 58%
Gas - 40%
Nuclear - 33%
Oil - 23%
Coal - 20%
Shale gas - 14%

yougov.co.uk/topics/science…
Our research shows that Britons have overwhelmingly positive opinions of renewable energy sources - even among those who also have a favourable view of fossil fuels

yougov.co.uk/topics/science…
In good news for clean energy campaigners, most Britons support renewables expansion, and those with favourable views of oil, gas and coal don't support greater use of those resources

Exploring how the Theresa May and Boris Johnson Brexit deals stack up among Brits, we find that while two thirds (64%) think Johnson’s deal is indeed different, only one in ten (10%) think it differs significantly yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
When it comes to whether Boris Johnson’s deal is actually better than the one Theresa May struck, public opinion is split:
- 27% say it is better
- 19% say it is worse
- 25% say it is neither yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
Asked a straight choice between which of the Brexit deals they would prefer, Brits favour Boris Johnson’s by 37% to 17%. Almost half (46%) can’t pick between them, however yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…

Why on earth the excruciating EU #Brexit extension dance?? Brussels promised to announce ‘end of last week’, then crystallising to ‘Friday’ then Tues or even Weds, now today.. Essentially the delay confusion has been a messy-make-it-up-as-you—go-along political dance /1
Well, at first it looked like all EU leaders were open to the 3 month extension mentioned in PMs extension request letter. But then France dug heels in. Staying with foot analogy: Macron wanted shorter extension to keep MPs feet to the fire.. EU proposed 2 tier extension /2
To please all. Phase one runs out November, in hope that will make gov/MPs concentrate and vote on newly negotiated #Brexit deal. Phase 2, running out 31 Jan would kick in if deal failed to be passed in phase 1. This was in place Thursday BUT then PM started push for elex /3

Germany's Die Welt newspaper sums up EU thoughts on #Brexit this morning with the headline: "The only thing that is clear is that Brexit is not happening on 31 October" welt.de/politik/auslan… /1
EU leaders must now agree on whether to grant the UK another Brexit extension and if so: how long for. Don't forget every country has a veto on this. But after speaking extensively to EU diplomats and politicians, the consensus EU-side seems to be to say yes /2
The EU's decision is expected by the end of the week. You can expect a lot of EU grumbling beforehand. France's Europe Minister was unsurprisingly (France has settled into role of "Brexit Bad Cop") one of first to speak on the record last night. She noted that.. /3

EU views PMs letter accompanying his formal #Brexit extension request - saying that he doesn’t actually want an extension- as a gimmick aimed at a domestic audience. As far as EU law is concerned: a formal request from the UK prime minister, is a formal request full stop /1
EU leaders not rushing to make decisions. Instead they watch events in Westminster carefully. If their newly negotiated #Brexit deal is approved by the majority of MPs - as the PM promised them it would be - then possibly no extension will be needed OR /2
Only a short one maybe to allow for necessary legislation to be completed. If this is the case, EU leaders won’t think twice about granting this short extension. They may even approve it by writing rather than on person at an emergency #Brexit summit. Spoiler alert../3

EU dreading this delay almost as much as the government. No intention in Brussels to renegotiate this deal AGAIN /1
Don’t expect any immediate action from EU. They watch carefully what unfolds in UK. They will not rush to answer a request for a new extension if receive it from UK. They want to keep pressure up on MPs /2
EUs legal #Brexit deadline remains 11pm in UK on 31 October. All EU leaders will return to Brussels for emergency summit to debate any new extension but they *could* do so as late as 31 October itself /3

Effectively -despite all the noise - the state of #Brexit negotiations has NOT really changed in last three days or so:
i) Much as there is huge political will in EU to get Brexit deal done.. /1
EU leaders do NOT want to be hurried into making a new deal to fit Boris Johnson’s timetable. Has to be something they can live with - that doesn’t cause potential probs for single market/ NIreland peace process in years to come /2
ii) This is very difficult to ‘fudge’! EU demanding not ‘good intentions’ as to how single market and peace process should be safeguarded on island of Ireland after Brexit but rather a ‘legally operative text’ /3

Today is possibly .@theresa_may's last day as PM, if .@BorisJohnson can command a majority (which is in some doubt...)

So it's a great opportunity to look back at some of the *highlights* of Mrs May's premiership in memes👇
13 JUL 2016: May was appointed as PM and named her Cabinet shortly thereafter, surprising many by giving 3 of the top #Brexit-related jobs to arch-brexiters Boris Johnson, David Davis & Liam Fox. Sheer folly, or genius in making them own what they'd sold? Sadly, the former😢
/1.
5 OCT 2016: With such a narrow result, the country could be forgiven for expecting May to propose a consensual solution, as Norway PM Erna Solberg had done in a similar situation. Most Remainers would've accepted #Norway.

May's #CitizensOfNowhere speech crushed all hope.
/2.
