Ok. *deep breath* a thread on Labour and Brexit. ⬇️
As a strong Remainer I find it odd when fellow Remainers attack the Labour leadership (Corbyn / McDonnell) for not being against Brexit enough. Its unnecessary and misguided. Here's why

Although per Adam Tooze in recent @TPpodcast_ episode his on the record response at the time was far better (in the sense of mainstream common sense) than the majority of the congressional Republican party twitter.com/PickardJE/stat…

Right. The power move now by Barnier would be to say definitively - rather than notionally - that A50 would be extended to allow for an election or referendum in event of May plan failing in parliament, effectively removing the bullet from May's gun twitter.com/piercepenniles…

Hopefully many other outlets will pick this up – I can’t help think if Labour had done this it would be a month-long story twitter.com/joncstone/stat…

ie taking any position on Brexit will alienate some voters, but according to this polling a final referendum much less than taking responsibility for any particular final deal. (Insert usual caveat re individual polls here.) twitter.com/tom_d_/status/…

"in the polling, a net balance of 2% of voters said they would be less likely to vote for Labour if it backed a final referendum; 10% if the party backed a “hard Brexit”; and 13% if it backed a “soft Brexit”."

The implication here that OSINT from Syria is provided by terrorist groups when it is in fact largely/entirely provided by civilians is problematic. Also, no, the US is not going to attempt regime change in Syria, as the past seven years shows us. Why is this not obvious? twitter.com/SyriaUK/status…

While politicians are causing Brexit chaos, communities are fighting to keep their schools open. Multi-academy trusts are ripping off our schools & damaging ed. The big scandal is there is no way for failed academies to come back under local authority control #backtoschool pic.twitter.com/pF1usuPPQJ

It's these sort of moves that show Labour intends not only to replicate the successful bits of NW European social democracy, but go beyond it to something more radical twitter.com/johnmcdonnellM…

Yep, I'm not surprised, but I think it's one of those things that hints at the limits of the quite romanticised view of the PYD/YPG that you get on parts of the UK left
