We’re in Brussels reminding Europe’s leaders of the donkeys responsible for this Brexit shambles. SOUND ON.

If we give far right what they want they are not going to shake hands, thank us and shut up shop. They’ll simply energise further and move on to their next target. We know this. It’s what fascists have done throughout history. It’s time to fight them, not triangulate with them
British Social Attitudes Survey author Prof John Curtice: its results, corroborated by polls “is enough to raise doubts about whether, two and half years after the original ballot, leaving the EU necessarily continues to represent the view of a majority of the British public”
@RoryStewartUK No - the point of indicative votes is to assess where the majority lies for a different way forward. EU have indicated they would re-negotiate WA if red lines change.
Dear Mrs May. You’re not on my side. I’ll tell you who can make that decision, it’s the people. Take a look on Saturday, we’ll be walking past your front door. Demanding the chance to vote on your deal. @peoplesvote_uk

Apparently the UK Govt is going to claim The International Court of Justice’s judgment against the UK - declaring that Chagos was wrongfully detached from Mauritius - is only advisory.
Wasn’t the EU Referendum only advisory?
Ken Clarke nutshells the idiocy of hardcore Brexiters: "You can't just take a crazy gamble on 29 March, cancel every legal, trading, regulatory arrangement we have, not only with Europe, but with about 70 other countries across the world, & see what happens the next day." #Ridge

@JamesDelingpole Right now, as members of the EU, we get goods on zero tariffs from the EU, from the EU's FTA partners (69 countries) and from various developing nations tariff-free.
About 87.2% of goods by value enter on 0% tariffs.
On WTO only, much of this will revert to MFN tariff rates.
Indeed. This is the old canard that they’d do anything for our money. They won’t negotiate trade until they’ve sorted the withdrawal issues. Because - listen up - no deal would be more damaging for us than for them.
Those waking up to the exciting news that Conservative Party MPs have agreed among themselves on a Brexit deal are going to be awfully disappointed to learn that said plan is almost certainly a non-starter with the EU and has been widely debunked
