If it hadn't been for those "Hard Remainers", there wouldn't have been a meaningful vote. That means there wouldn't have been indicative votes. Theresa May's vote would have been her deal or No Deal.
But I've said we're not going to be blamed, so tonight I'm doing that Peter Mandelson article, and to be honest, having looked into this, I have more respect for him than I started with.
In fact, what Owen is doing is the opposite of what Peter was doing. Peter's article was about trying to move on.
If Peter wanted an honest and frank discussion about how we ended up without Soft Brexit, that would definitely not help that.
But since we have the Westminster analysts and the Labour opinionaters starting to go full steam on this, I don't mind telling the story he didn't want to tell.

So in my whole time writing threads, I have never come across a more important one for Remainers as we leave the European Union, or one that exposes the politics of this country.

It's called: The story of Peter, Owen, and Anand.

(Thread)
It is July 2016. At the completion of the referendum and after a vote to leave the EU, the think tanks go to work. Anand co-writes a document proposing leaving the Single Market, the ECJ, and having full control of our laws.
Later that year, Owen would sit down and write an article in support for the Labour position of keeping as much access to the Single Market as possible. (October 2016)

Apparently Boris Johnson's ready made deal did include a trade deal as it's main point after all...

(It didn't and this is just another example of how Brexit is driven by constant deceit)
For those keeping track, as of this week the rule was:
The EU are negotiating in bad faith because they aren't giving us the trade deal the WA guarantees.

Today:
The WA definitely doesn't guarantee a trade deal.
I don't mind making these notifications, but as Brexit goes on I think we might need a government institution to keep track of what was said, done, and written down as it changes from day to day.

Here is an idea:
Instead of the press asking the Prime minister if we will go to no deal if the negotiations fail, they ask him if he will resign if negotiations fail.
He was after all, instrumental in taking us down this path from the beginning.

Oh yeah, the extension. That'll be our fault soon too!
Waiting for the Channel 5 series about how DNA evidence proves that we were Jack the Ripper.
We've all got alibis for the Plymouth Mail Truck Robbery? I mean...I know we didn't do it, but apparently these days that's just not enough.

1. Well if someone hadn’t removed the context and allowed people like Clair Fox to interpret it in the context of her beliefs, then maybe things would have gone better today. (Thread)

2. Because when I read the article you posted, from the context it was presented, I believed that it was a big admission that the push to stay in the EU led to the hardest of Brexit.
3. Then when I read through it, it was about strategic mistakes which I didn’t think are overly controversial.

I thought all those covert marches and the largest petition in history were all under the radar. 🙄

More attacks on Remain today by @jillongovt and @anandMenon1. Is this gong to become a feature?
Just to remind you that Jill's name is on a paper proposing a "Reverse Ukraine" deal.

Does anyone want to know how that works?

Because it doesn't.
In the Ukraine model over time the EU and it's partner get together to agree how they will work more closely together by mutual consent.
