Isn’t the choice before the Labour Party clear? There would be a reasonable chance of a Labour government / SNP, Lib, Lab coalition this year with Starmer or Thornberry as leader, and a significantly lower probability with Corbyn as leader. Isn’t that incontrovertible?

New foreign Secretary Dominic Raab claimed today that the 2016 referendum is a mandate for No Deal.

This is what he actually said during that referendum. Pls RT https://t.co/MDwikMUXol

Remember:

1) The planet we think we're living on no longer exists.

2) What happens in the Arctic doesn't stay in the Arctic.

3) 2030 is the new 2100.

4) The bees go, we go.

5) 💀ceans.

These are the good old days - declare The Ecological Emergency while it's still too late.

Slightly misjudging the mood there, @Jacob_Rees_Mogg . But while you’re on, the English captain is Irish 😀

Interesting. A lot of money now being spent to promote this on social media/digital advertising. Very similar peer pressure whipped up on Tory MPs to vote down May’s Brexit deal, which worked. Same graphics too. Who’s paying for it?

@TheEconomist This is a terrible GIF, it just flashes the 2018 map too quickly to see

[John Rentoul @JohnRentoul]

More from that @LordAshcroft poll:
What do you think would be the best outcome from the Brexit process? UK leaving EU without a deal 27%; with a different deal 15%; with deal negotiated by May 8%; remaining in EU 46%

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Overwhelming message from tonight - there is NO mandate for a hard Brexit

This *has* to be the message that goes out loud and clear

[Peter Kyle @peterkyle]

Right now citizens across the EU are choosing between 15,000 candidates for who gives them voice and representation as one of 751 MEP’s in the European Parliament.

Tell me, when do we get to vote on who runs the WTO?

A minority party deciding the next Prime Minister amongst themselves. Tell me again about the will of the people.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

NEW: here’s *actual* evidence that Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party is accepting foreign donations via PayPal. Dollars, yuan, Swiss francs, roubles..you name it, they’ll take it. Laundered by PayPal into British £. This *cannot* be legal, surely?? Electoral Commission MUST investigate

living with parents who are ill can be tough and you need coping strategies, so last time I had a glass of wine and rewatched every single eurovision since 2006. I saved the good stuff here: https://t.co/D0KblvtBR3
