1) strong message here for remaining #Brexit supporters

You were lied to, you are led by chancers, get a grip
amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
2) Yes, ok, Remain ran a terrible campaign & Cameron was an arrogant fool.
Yes #Brexit sounded easy & even exciting
But, enough's enough
3) whatever happened in the campaigns, this is the reality.
There is no £350 M, #Brexit will cost far more than our membership
4) there are no magic trade deals that will make up for our losses in trade with the EU, the free trade argument is a nonsense
5) Davis & Fox championed Brexit trade freedom whilst having no clue whatsoever how international trade worked.
6) instead of boosting our international standing it's being trashed. Absolutely no-one in the world outside the UK is impressed
6) The world looks at the UK with distain
We thought we could bully the EU into a deal, we can't, and now we're crying about it.
Ridiculous
7) a few of you will be convinced that Hammond is a traitor, the EU are bullies, but travel 200 miles in any direction & no-one will care
8) Why do you think Davis said he hadn't planned for a no deal, and now refuses to release the 50 reports?
theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
9) do you think anyone outside the telegraph/express readership gives a croissant about "ball's in EU's court" nonsense?
10) many of you Brexit supporters are self sufficient, secure & think you won't be affected.
Brexit at any cost, for other people.
11) the rest of you #Brexiters, wake up! Look at your leaders for goodness sake. I wouldn't trust them to plan a tea party
12) Brexit had 1 plan. The EU would cave. There was no plan B.
Get a grip, #Brexit is foolish & damaging.
Find your patriotism

1) So what is the Labour #Brexit GE platform?

As far as we can make out we'd be voting for more negotiations (which the EU will not agree to) to get a better deal (which likely doesn't exist)

The entire Labour platform is based on promising a Brexit they cannot deliver
2) "Vote Labour even though our #Brexit platform depends on 27 other governments all doing what they've all said they absolutely won't do"

That's not a manifesto, it's just wishful thinking
3) but even if Labour's GE promises on Brexit were real, why should any Remainer support a GE?

The Tories have led Brexit but at least they are starting to say it may not happen. Corbyn's leadership team won't even consider the idea that Brexit could be stopped

1) #BBCQT and the tide turning
Many Remainers have watched Question Time through their hands or not watched at all as this Leave stronghold reinforced the simple messages of Brexiters

It was very disheartening, but not any more
2) Week after week we had the right wing agitator "columnists" like Oakeshott, HartleyBrewer and others come on & shout betrayal, will of the people, Remoaners whilst the crowd cheered them on

"why can't we just leave?" the audience cried to rapturous applause

Until 6 weeks ago
3) occasionally a brave audience member or panelist would say "hang on, this Brexit thing isn't going that well" before being shouted down.

The tide has now massively shifted. The audiences have pivoted & no one is confidently supporting Brexit

1) Simple, fair strategy for #PeoplesVote
The #Brexit side of the debate get to choose their option for the referendum question with one condition:
Their Brexit plan must be achieveable & must not depend on the EU "caving"

If they can't decide on an option, that's their problem
2) to explain, the Remain side choose "Remain" as their option for the ballot paper, and the Leave side get to pick any #Brexit variant they believe will get the most public support.

It could be a no deal #Brexit, a Canada deal with the backstop, May's deal or Norway+
3) but...
If for example they choose "no deal" its not "no deal because the EU will panic and give us a great deal", it's just "no deal", as it stands, with its consequences spelt out

If its May's deal, its May's deal *including* the backstop

I have long maintained that a second referendum on #Brexit is the only way out of the UK's current conundrum.

But a few aspects of this have been nagging at me.

Now having been put on the spot by @edaross I am going to explore this a bit more in a thread.

1/17
First, if a #PeoplesVote is to happen, it requires an extension of the #Article50 negotiation period - because it would take a good 20 weeks to organise such a referendum, as @ConUnit_UCL argue convincingly here:
constitution-unit.com/2018/10/09/how…

2/17
At the time of writing we are 123 days, or just over 18 weeks away from exit day 29.3.2019

If Commons has its "Meaningful Vote" (that failing might be the starting gun for a referendum process) on 10 December that is 104 days, less than 15 weeks from exit day. Too tight.

1. Some background on this major story which broke yesterday: The Taxpayers' Alliance admitted that 9 "linked" organisations coordinated to vilify @shahmiruk These groups are operating from an office at 55 Tufton Street, around the corner from Westminster.
2. Here is what you need to know about these opaquely-funded libertarian groups, which are pushing for a hard (no-deal) Brexit, advocating deregulation to strike a US-UK free trade deal and include climate science denying Global Warming Policy Foundation👇 desmog.co.uk/2018/07/23/map…
3. @shahmiruk accused the 9 groups of mounting a coordinating campaign to push for a hard-#Brexit and deregulation across the media. The Taxpayers' Alliance has just admitted that, indeed, this is the case and climate science deniers and hard-Brexiters are working together.

1/ To understand #Brexit you have to know about the Koch brothers, who are using their $90bn oil and gas & manufacturing fortune to drive US politics in the direction of ultra-free market 'libertarian' economics, & whose influence extends deep into #Brexit politics.
#PeoplesVote
2/ Here is David Koch's program when he stood as a Libertarian Party Vice-Presidential candidate in 1980. Take your time to read it. It is terrifying in its extremism. For example he opposed all income tax. And remember, he and his brother are worth around $90bn.
3/ The Kochs are spending around $400m on the upcoming US elections. The network of think-tanks political organisations they fund and control is enormous. 3 names stand out with regard to #Brexit, the Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute, and the Atlas (Network) Research Fdn.

Why to vote Green #FBPE
@WhyToVoteGreen
1. So @AndyWigmore of Leave.EU tweets investigative journalist @CaroleCadwalla to let her know she’s been "tagged” in a tweet from Russia’s embassy in the UK. Let’s have a quick look at the background & semiotics of this… <THREAD>
2. Carole has done great investigative work into links between Leave.EU’s Brexit campaign & Russia. Many of the same actors were working for both #Brexit & Trump – the far-right hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, Cambridge Analytica… theguardian.com/technology/201…
3. Andy Wigmore accompanied Arron Banks to a 6-hr meeting at the Russian Embassy in 2015, invited by a man Banks assumed to be a Russian FSB officer. They gave Ambassador Yakovenko the “inside track” on Brexit. It is not known what was offered in return.

Dear @theresa_may,
Yesterday you wrote me a letter about my rights as an EU citizens in the UK.
I reply back in good faith.
(And may I call you Theresa? You called me Maria Ana!)
1/15 (thread)
2. Sadly, much damage has been done. The fact that citizens’ rights were included in the negotiations was enough reason for some to leave.
Discussed in @ScotParl by @willie_rennie (only 2mins listen): bit.ly/2jABfhI
Our @YoungAcademySco Report: bit.ly/2BwXsRX
3. Despite your cheerful tone, many of us don’t feel our rights are secure, as @cliodiaspora rightly puts it. And we still have to apply to secure them, meaning we can be rejected (with scarily high % of errors at the Home Office, as you know).
