I reckon Claudia Winkleman thinks we should revoke Article 50, and Tess Daly thinks we should just get Brexit done
...although I’m not sure about Claudia. Might be PV
Tess voted Remain (because all her bbc friends did) but now has been convinced that it’s undemocratic to want to Remain because 17.4m
Claudia is definitely still Remain tho

You ain’t no centrist Remainer, bruv
A true centrist Remainer might not vote for a Corbyn-led majority govt, but sure as hell votes for a hung Parliament in the shitshow that is UK politics in 2019
And if you haven’t figured out yet that FPTP is at the heart of all our political problems, and requires tactical voting in most cases to *avoid the worst* with little prospect of securing the best, then don’t pontificate about national politics. You’re welcome

Why are Labour not getting as much shit about Richmond Park as the LibDems are getting about Canterbury?
I agree that appointing a candidate after Tim Walker stood down is a wankish thing to do. But even before he stood down, Labour weren’t getting even a small fraction of the relentless grief for splitting the Remain vote in Richmond Park as the LibDems were getting for Canterbury
Hypothesis: anti-LibDem onslaught being amplified by tribalists (to maintain Labour as incumbent beneficiaries of two-party politics under FPTP) who have identified this as a wedge that will split off voters whose priority is anti-Brexit but who don’t have strong party loyalty

I used to ask Brexiters to specify what the “opportunities” of Brexit are, rather than just affirming that such opportunities exist. Now they’re talking about “unleashing” the UK’s potential, I’d like them to specify how exactly EU membership held that potential back
It’s a completely vacuous phrase, designed to say to people who feel shit about the state of things atm, “Don’t worry about how shit things feel: we’re a *great* country and everything will turn out ok once ‘Boris’ unleashes our potential”
Manipulation, like everything about Brexit

A crucial future #Brexit question: how much 'say' will Parliament have on Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiation mandate?

Will govt have to publish impact assessments?

Consult with regions? And Parly Cmmes?

Been doing some diggin...1/thread
So @YouGov MRP is right. @BorisJohnson wins good majority. The WAB is rammed through Parliament and we are OUT by Jan 31 2020. #Brexit is 'done', except for a small matter of a trade/security future partnership deal which Johnson says he wants done in 11 months. Which means.../2
@YouGov @BorisJohnson Devising a negotiating mandate for the UK's future trading relationship with the EU....the shape of which will have huge impact on jobs & industries, particularly in the English regions that are disproportionately exposed to #Brexit impacts...cars, pharma, agri. /3

I've written about #Brexit since 2015 #FBPE, mostly in threads to go deeper than Twitter otherwise allows.

Typically I give a pic summary, with a thread of evidence. Trust nothing without source material. Use, bookmark or share what I do - it's made for you.

Let's #StopBrexit.
The main Tread runs continuously, off links are topics.

Thread 1. "Opposing The Brexits is a Democratic Obligation".

The original 2016 Brexit is lost. And with it any democratic consent. #StoptheCoup is accurate. It is a Coup.

Thread 2. "A Return to the EEC"

So could there have been a compromise between #Remain and #Leave that left the UK better off?

This thread was the culmination of about a year's work to find one.

Not easy. Not perfect. But far far better than Boris.

So what does the #Brexit future hold, if it happens?

Sir Ivan Rogers peered into his crystal ball last night, and didn't like what he saw.

But even Sir Ivan doesn't have 20/20 futurevision...so here's a look at Ivan's view and other possibilities. 1/thread
First, Sir Ivan's bleak thesis from his 21-page speech. Tl;dr the #Brexit ticking clock strikes again; @BorisJohnson is boxed into a corner and such a miserable deal the Cabinet argues (erroneously) for WTO-only since it's only marginally more damaging, but preserves 'leverage'/2
@BorisJohnson How do we get here? (full text below) Well, first Johnson doesn't extend - too costly, too much "eating of words" and party opposition to "vassalage" of transition (which btw Johnson was genuinely exercised about when he was Fgn Sec). Which leads../3

Here's my thread of thoughts about the Brexit shambles. Sorry for the medical analogy, but it's sort of my thing.
Imagine you have a dodgy gall bladder. It occasionally flares up and causes pain and that sucks, so you go to a doctor for help to have it removed.
During that consultation, your doctor says they can remove the gall bladder and presents you with a consent form to sign. It contains largely incorrect information about the potential risks and problems involved, as well as a long list of unbelievable benefits of the surgery.

#Brexit supporters like me hold @realDonaldTrump in profound contempt. We know he’s a liar. He’s offered the U.K. *zero* special trade deals. He’s done nothing but insult the Queen.

If ever there was an argument for pressing pause and taking Tusk’s long extension, ERG, its this.
With a year, we can negotiate a better version of EFTA. Freedom of movement *without a job* can be eliminated. Common Market 2 solves many problems. #DelayBrexit
By the way, @realDonaldTrump, threatening our EU friends and allies like @campaignforleo and Ireland is totally unacceptable. It’s not what #Brexit supporters want or stand for. The ERG will find it as ugly as Remain do. Nobody believes you will do anything for the U.K.
