Kerr: "If we do nothing, neither securing an extension nor withdrawing the letter, but going on dancing to the ERG’s tune, the car will go over the cliff on 29 March. But we could still stop the skid, taking back control. The crash isn’t yet inevitable." https://t.co/9FUELemP9S

.@mrjamesob really has been a constant and welcome voice for us calling out the complete insanity of brexit and the dishonesty of its architects. I wish I could blast this powerful speech out on a tannoy in every street in Britain. It might just wake people up. #Stopbrexit https://t.co/aq5iLgoy6I

Every time a Brexiter says the EU is forcing us into a no-deal, remind them that they said we held all the cards in the negotiations, and that German car manufacturers would force the EU to compromise, and that they dismissed our warnings as 'project fear'.#Brexit #PeoplesVote pic.twitter.com/J0eeREcdoM

The lunatic proponents of shard Brexit at Telegraph are desperately worried that Mrs May is moving in the direction of sanity.
Hence, the “grassroots” in “open revolt”.

Yet more evidence that the bloody referendum advisory result needs to be set aside. The Leave campaign consisted of unscrupulous monsters. https://t.co/nkNKL86vgm

I see the Spirit of The Blitz that will see us through any Brexit hardship is much in evidence again, as British holidaymakers whose flight to Alicante was delayed for a few hours definitely didn't lose their shit not at all.

Any solidarity with or activism for Palestinian rights is akin to blasphemy in Israel. If these artists were arrested in Iran, we would get endless think-pieces & hot takes in NYTimes on suppression of civil liberties & free speech by the Iranian government. pic.twitter.com/2vmICB1Jr8
