Are we really now in the place where we are taking back control by refusing to obey the law of the land? What the fuck is happening to our country??

Boris Johnson short of options as rebels vow to secure Brexit delay

It's not the #willofthepeople. It's the will of some of the people. Not as catchy a hash tag to be sure. But I wish the Brexit supporters wouldn't carry on as if 85% of the country voted for this. #brexit #GeneralElection

@BorisJohnson
and @Conservatives
will, of course, blame everything that goes wrong on the French and Germans
It's worked for 200 years, why would they change now?

Reading the @thesundaytimes reporting of No Deal preparations. Are there any upsides to Brexit at all? We will be poorer, more divided, less influential. What's the upside? #brexit #BrexitOpportunities are there any good things?

[The_Real_Oliver @TheRealOliver4]

Such a shame we have such divisive party leaders. Both @jeremycorbyn
and @BorisJohnson
only appeal - and only try to appeal - to those who already agree with them. #Brexit

So...

We now have an unelectable @Conservatives cabinet rammed with hard right nutters. An unelectable @UKLabour filled with hard left nutters. @LibDems, @joswinson you have a hell of a job on your hands.

[The_Real_Oliver @TheRealOliver4]

My new theory: @jeremycorbyn doesn't actually want to win and become prime minister. @UKLabour has a stronger desire to be right than to be in charge. Opposition a lot easier than government #Labour #LabourParty

[The_Real_Oliver @TheRealOliver4]

Can you *imagine* how things would feel if we had a competent opposition led by someone good who wanted to win? They would CRUSH the @Conservatives. As it is, we have this shower @UKLabour

No, @telegraph, @borisJohnson is behind the 'leak' of these amateurishly staged photos. Or his team. They're so crap it is definitely them

If there are 140000 @Conservatives members, then the next prime minister is being chosen by 0.2% of the population. When China or North Korea does this, we condemn them for being undemocratic. Why is this different? @ConHome

[The_Real_Oliver @TheRealOliver4]

@DominicRaab Fuck off it does. It shows that the country remains as divided as ever and your lunatic obsession with a no deal brexit will just destroy what's left of the Tories

[The_Real_Oliver @TheRealOliver4]

I have no idea why @jeremyCorbyn keeps banging on about a general election. @UKLabour is unelectable. So are @Conservatives. An election would just give us more or less what we have today

@TheDudeDJ @0efc99f4292c41e @raffilewis @jeremycorbyn It's not. If Labour has a clear position how come the shadow cabinet doesn't know what it is? Tom Watson says one thing, Barry Gardiner another. I've voted Labour all my life. But not on Thursday, sadly. I want to remain

[The_Real_Oliver @TheRealOliver4]

I know that @UKLabour won't care, but because I voted Remain, I am going to vote @LibDems on Thursday. I still have no idea what Labour wants, but @jeremycorbyn wants to leave. Fair enough

[The_Real_Oliver @TheRealOliver4]

I've voted for @UKLabour for 30 years. But no more. I cannot vote for a Leave party. So, @LibDems, @greenparty @TheIndGroup - I'll vote for one of you instead. Who wants my vote?

[Rejoiner Boy @nobullenglish65]

@tom_watson @hudaelmi_ @Yasmine_Dar @LabourRachel @NavPMishra @ClaudiaWebbe @darrenw_cardiff @jonlansman @AnnDHenderson @PeterWillsman Guys. I want to be very clear about this. I have voted Labour for 30 years. My 3 kids are 1st and 2nd time voters. The biggest political issue in all of our lives is Brexit. Support a confirmatory vote and you'll get ours. Don't, and we're lost to Labour for good. Choose wisely.

[The_Real_Oliver @TheRealOliver4]

@jayrayner1 @JPonpolitics @bbc5live @BarryGardiner @UKLabour Nobody understands @UKLabour s position on brexit. I have voted Labour all me life. People like Barry gardiner and @jeremycorbyn are the reason I never will again

[The_Real_Oliver @TheRealOliver4]

@Ksn_john @jessphillips I suspect she can spell better than you. But "traitor" and "treachery" are very strong words to bandy around. At these difficult times for our democracy we need to be careful in the language we use. By all means disagree, but don't abuse.
