Very important. The single most devastating thing that Mrs May did was to rule out FoM from the word go, but the government refuses to come clean on why she thought she was entitled to do that. All the major harm of Brexit revolves around this one question. https://t.co/BIZLQ7M37Y

PM seems determined to create a last minute crisis at end of March & risk a chaotic & damaging No Deal. This is a terrible way to make decisions & an irresponsible way to govern. My @guardian article today on why we need our cross party Bill https://t.co/hdVAChS7t7

However vicious, malignant and poisonous the Corbynites have been up until this moment, nothing we've seen will compare to what they're about to unleash on the Labour defectors. They are going to go absolutely hysterical.

Whispers tonight that the Labour splitters will move tomorrow. Chuka Umunna’s team are not denying he is about to quit (they did deny when asked last week).

Those that say the new centrist party won’t stand for anything apart from anti-Brexit and anti-Corbyn are mistaken.
They’ve been plotting for years & had £££ for polling & policy development. If they don’t have a near manifesto ready from day 1 it will show they’re not serious.

Surely holding the #PeoplesVoteMarch the day after the European Council (21-22 March) rather than before it is a daft error?
A Ref requires an extension to be agreed by EU27 leaders, and that's the last time they meet before Brexit day. Has this been considered @peoplesvote_uk?

Theresa May has written to her “colleagues” ie all Tory MPs begging them to put “sacrifice” their own personal preferences in the national interest:

A thought. If May's deal, or something like it, goes through then given that many Brexiters regard it as a betrayal of Brexit we will be in the bizarre situation on 30/3 of the Govt announcing it has enacted the 'will of the people' but almost nobody being happy about it 1/2

“You would be prepared to be one of the people who will go down in history… How could you possibly, responsibly do that when you know that's a bad thing?”
That was the question @krishgm put to Cabinet minister James Brokenshire about leaving the EU without a deal on March 29th. pic.twitter.com/Xl9EnNmZCE

Hard Brexiters like Leadsom delude themselves if they imagine after a no deal crash out the country will “come together” and “move on” – the opposite will happen; the deepest schism in British history since the Civil War – and it will be just the start ..

Every European I’ve spoken to at #Msc2019 has said Pence’s speech fell flat. No one bought his list of “accomplishments” and no one thinks the Trump administration has made Europe more secure. The true hallmark of leadership is having others support you, not mocking you. https://t.co/NPwbuSk1tn
