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…
Among Conservative voters, 76% prefer Boris Johnson’s deal over Theresa May’s, compared to just 4% who would rather have the original deal back on the table. Leave voters are similarly in favour (63% to 6%) yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…

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

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…

Boris Johnson has written to EU accepting the new #Brexit extension which, he writes, was “imposed” on his government (by Parliament) /1
The PM urges EU to make clear that a further extension after 31 January is not possible. EU highly unlikely to do this. Its main goal is to avoid a no deal #Brexit (whilst safeguarding its red lines in negotiations) /2
In back of EU minds is the possibility (after 3 years of false dawns during the Brexit process) that Brussels may be asked for yet another extension come January .. if a general election proves inconclusive regarding #Brexit etc. It would then grant one to avoid no deal /3

A #BrexitDeal has been agreed by the UK and EU, but what does it all mean?

We answer some of the questions we have received from readers THREAD ⬇️

Under law, yes he does

The Benn Act says that Boris Johnson would be required to request a three-month #Brexit delay - unless he can pass a deal, or get MPs to approve a no-deal exit by 19 October

BORIS JOHNSON

Boris Johnson is/was advised by Steve BANNON – Trump’s campaign manager & VP of the notorious, now-shuttered electioneering firm Cambridge Analytica, which he co-founded in 2014 w/ hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, who also backed the Breitbart sites.
bylinetimes.com/2019/06/12/bor…
📌Johnson and Bannon became friends when Johnson was still Foreign Secretary and Bannon was still in the White House in early 2017.

📌They have been in contact ever since and the fruits of this friendship have been evident for some time

1) Thread - All Brexits are bad and what we voted for
It's often said by brexiters that "it's not all about economics"
However, the *actual* Leave campaign was almost wholly about economic arguments

With the leak of this 2-8% report those arguments are now trashed
2) We seem to have forgotten this however economics played a huge part in the Vote Leave campaign, making up over 2/3rds of the primary arguements. The clear message was we would at the least be no worse off and at best much better off. 4 of the 6 below state this clearly
3) & the fact is voters believed we would be no worse off. People prioritized immigration certainly, but against a backdrop of there being no consequences from Brexit - few are prepared to actually pay for ending FoM

1) Clegg - a thread
There's a lot of flack going around about Clegg "propping up Tories" & "enabling austerity". Let's look at this with our reality glasses on because imho this is an example of why tribalism is killing our political system.
2) firstly, coalitions are not unusual, in fact they are the norm in many countries. Entering into a coalition is just what happens in PR Democracies. We'll probably have a few more over the next few years. So entering a coalition is not "propping up" but a solution
3) attacking a party for entering a coalition is not a mature or reasoned approach to how hung parliaments work, if this was the norm no PR Democracy would ever get a Government

LDs are in coalition with multiple Labour groups at local level, and no one talks about "propping up"
