Reminder:
- LibDems tried to get Labour to participate in voting pact. Labour refused them.
- Greens ditto. Labour refused them.
- Plaid Cymru ditto. Labour refused them.
- Unite to Remain team ditto. Labour refused them.

*All the above is on the record.*

This is on Labour.
And that's before we dig into the festering wound of Labour's parliamentary votes on Brexit, including the Joanna Cherry amendment.

Don't give me any rot about Jo Swinson. She refused to put Corbyn into power, not Labour. She refused precisely because he was toxic (as proven!)
Does that make Jo Swinson a fantastic leader? No.

But she is absolutely not the prime cause of this disaster, or even on the same blame planet as Corbyn.

Labour are "for the many, not the few".

The Tories, though they'll never admit it, lean towards "for the few, not the many".

What we need, in a world of divisions, is a party that's "for everyone". Where the rich don't feel hounded and scapegoated. Where the poor get more help.
A party shorn of extremes, acting at all times to make the UK a better place to be. Part of that is about striving for greater equality, but that cannot be the obsessive, overarching driving force.

Imagine for instance an NHS so good, it obviates the need for private care.
Maybe a pipe dream, but even the well off don't spend money they literally don't have to. They wouldn't be paying for private health care if the NHS offered the same service level and outcomes.

End the politics of envy or of greed. And welcome in the politics of inclusivity.

First Corbyn's "nothing to do with me, mate - Brexit, innit" speech, now this...

Labour's capacity to lose elections outstripped only by its inability to understand why it did.

We need an urgent rescue from @jessphillips pronto.

At this point, Corbyn - not Labour - supporters better find the deepest darkest hole, maybe the one Jacob Rees-Mogg vacated, and stay there.

Not one word from you. Not. One. Word. The world has already had more than its fair share of Corbynism for several lifetimes.

@LiamThorpECHO Thread.
I genuinely do not understand this editorial. It correctly lists some of the terrible consequences of austerity and the risks of another Conservative government, whilst barely mentioning Brexit at all.
@LiamThorpECHO The EU has transformed our city, something that the Echo has well-documented. And Brexit will be a disaster for us. Whether it is a Labour Brexit or a Conservative Brexit.
@LiamThorpECHO The Editorial then has this which I thoroughly endorse, but...

More Old Bailey Sophistry from Codpiece Cox admitting that in order that today's vote is NOT an attempt to repeat #MV2 (to comply with Speaker Bercow's re-iteration of 1604 convention) it is also NOT a #MV in sense of #EUWA18 Section 13.1.b

#BBCpc #EUWAdebate #VictoriaLIVE #LBC
Attempt by Codpiece Cox to scare House into voting in a #MeaninglessVote for #WA (only) solely to secure the offered (actually only technical) extension of #BrexitDay from Apr 12 to May 22 sans guarantee of any other extension. Sophistry.

#BBCpc #EUWAdebate #VictoriaLIVE #LBC
Of course, if the House falls for Codpiece Cox's scare tactics, none of this will figure in future utterances by #TheresaMay's #Brexihadis - the headlines will scream 'Parliament approves #Brexit arrangements' (sans qualification or caveat).

How can Corbyn get into Downing St at the next election if one comes soon? Here is my thread looking at what needs to change from the 2017 #GeneralElection when #Labour won 262 seats. /1
To become the largest party, Labour needs to gain around 30 seats. It so happens that there are 29 seats where Labour is in 2nd place less than 3 pts behind the incumbent. 21 are held by the #CONSERVATIVES, 7 by the SNP, 1 by #plaidcymru. /2
To get a working majority, Labour needs to gain 61 seats given Sinn Fein don't take their seats. It so happens there are 62 seats where Labour is in 2nd place less than 7 pts behind the incumbent. 45 are held by the Conservatives, 16 by the SNP, 1 by Plaid Cymru /3

#Remain voted for:

A say in whether the EU enlarges or not.
A say in if the EU federalises or remains a union of independent states.
A say in if there is an EU army.
Being the financial capital through which the majority of € is traded while still keeping the £.

#BrexitReality
#EnlargedEurope

The UK has taken the lead in efforts for EU enlargement. It pushed for the inclusion of Eastern European states. It pushed for Turkey to get its shit together so that it could join (which it made very slow progress with, and has largely been undone by Erdogan)
After #Brexit, the UK will have no influence on EU enlargement. In fact, as setting the EU as a rival, every country that joins the EU will a) strengthen the EU, and b) unravels any trade deals that the UK will have made with that country, isolating it further.
