Now is the time for Remainers to redouble their energies, lobby their MPs and show up to Saturday’s #PeoplesVoteMarch. A resolution is finally in sight and it needn’t be a bad one.
Thread with template for an MP letter I emailed to mine. 1/n
A quick note on Saturday’s votes in which I’d urge you to demand an extension for full economic impact assessments of the Johnson Deal and a confirmatory referendum with our current deal in the EU as the alternative.
@RupaHuq Ruling out No Deal presumably comes from Parliament selecting their favoured Brexit in stage one.
@RupaHuq This approach removes the split between people’s voters and Norway fans. MPs backing a people’s vote might also back Norway if Brexit has to happen.
