The challenge for Brexiters will be to keep the debate on Europe toxic and divisive.

Ironically, the opportunity for pro-Europeans to make our case will come after we've left.

A theory in a thread 1/ Those of us who have tried to discuss Brexit in our families, with friends and in our workplaces have found a simple truth; conversation is difficult, fraught and in lots of cases impossible with those who voted the other way.

We're gutted by the NEC decision on the biggest issue of our time.

Long term members and supporters in our group are cutting up their Party cards or saying they will vote for a Remain Party. Others vow to fight on.

No doubting now Jeremy wants Brexit more than Party democracy. We're in no doubt our MEP candidates are brilliant Labour people, passionate pro-Europeans and a credit to our Party.

It's depressing to see so little opposition. We count 7 tweets in 25 days from the @ShadowBrexit team fighting a devastating hard Brexit, one comment each from the Leader and Shadow Chancellor, no Press releases, next to nothing in the media.

Whilst the country looks to Labour for opposition, we look in on ourselves.
