Why Remainers need to rest, recharge and return in fight over Brexit | Latest Brexit news and top stories | The New European

“The resistance works on three different levels: Structural, organisational and personal. Pick any number of them.”

theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/ia…
STRUCTURAL:

There has to be an effective opposition. Something spectacularly absent in the last c five years.
You will have decide who can take the fight forward.

Meanwhile there is ORGANISATIONAL engagement.

This concentrates on day to day improvement of our poor country. Through this you create networks, relationships and power from the bottom up through connections and actions.
Some other ideas at ORGANISATIONAL level.

The kamikaze battleplan.

“t took an awful long time for the True Believers in the Jeremy Corbyn project to accept that their dream of gaining power on the back of an unarguably Socialist ticket was in ruins.”

From what I see on Twitter many still don’t.

Just look at who was involved in the daily strategic conference call and you need to look no further as to how it went so wrong.

Where were the other remain voices.

They shut them out so they would not be contradicted, thus compounding error on error.
That then led to this extra layer of foolishness.

More of the same, just when they needed to draw back, rethink and regroup.

In fact this chart is a bit out of date (2014) but we still had 6 of the poorest in 2016 and I shall be curious about more recent figures as Brexit is biting.

If anyone has them would you post.

Next tweet is the Full Fact report on the 2016 figures.

I have just seen this thread by @thomasforth with more up to date data and some richer analysis.

“It all failed and failed utterly. And in the ruins lie the shattered hopes of those who need a Labour government to fight for them but who instead have a Tory government with a huge majority for the next five years.”

“Let us be clear, Jeremy Corbyn and his most vocal backers had complete command of the Labour agenda. They controlled the national executive, the policymaking process, the manifesto and the campaign. Nobody got in their way. Nobody stopped them.”
“Mr Corbyn acknowledged this when at the launch of the manifesto he said this was the kind of programme that for years had been blocked by elites. But it wasn’t blocked by elites. It was rejected by the voters.”

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

3/n

NEW: @theresa_may is to request only 'short delay' to Brexit in letter to EU a government source has told @tamcohen. [thread]
news.sky.com/story/theresa-…
It’s understood her original preference was to ask EU for a short extension which could be lengthened if needed, or a long one with a break clause in it.
But @MichelBarnier told me yesterday that it’s short or long, not both.
.@MichelBarnier also made clear that a specific reason must be given to warrant an extension: “Needs to be linked to something new - a new event, new political process.“
So:
- election?
- 2nd referendum?
- new cross-party political declaration (removing May red lines)?

Theresa May, to quote a Tory peer to me, is the "mummified corpse" of a Prime Minister. For #Brexit this is a problem 1/
Europe would rather have May than Boris or other blue-sky Brexiteer to negotiate with but... 2/
As thing stand they cannot trust she has authority to negotiate. Boris has destroyed that by publicly undermining her. /3
