Backed by 70% of voters (#LocalElections2018) our two major parties aim to take UK down to the minor leagues of sub-#G20 growth, supported by NO detailed plans as to the costs, complexities & consequences of such bizarre recklessness. Not just insane, but amazingly short-sighted!
2. Is this a case of who blinks first? Surely I, and fellow well-informed remainers, are not in exclusive possession of key economic facts and trends? Con/Lab MUST have these too? Maybe everyone should check the latest @guardian piece by @williamnhutton!
3. People who think Brexit (in any form!) would be easy, painless or cost-free are very sorely deluded! Maybe the 70% who just voted Con/Lab in #LocalElections2018 should have been asking 'that question' of their wannabe councillors? before parting with their votes? Too late now!
Kate Hoey, Brexit and why it still matters in the #LocalElection2018 - a thread.
This time last year, the local Labour Party (including many council candidates) were busy campaigning to get Hoey back into parliament. She’s been the Vauxhall Labour Party MP since the late 1980s.

The same cohort of campaigners are now distributing literature, tweets etc emphasising their “pro EU” stance and their support for the many thousands of EU residents living and working in Lambeth.
Today Hoey again spoke in Parliament - in favour of the hardest Brexit possible.

You cannot have both. It is *not possible* to both campaign and fund and support Kate Hoey MP while also campaigning on a Pro-EU platform. It does not square. At best it is a confused position, indicative of a local party at war, but at worst it is misleading and unfair. 
Gay donkeys and pro Mini Golfers. The extraordinary case of Lewisham's "Democrats and Veterans" Mayoral candidate. And I swear it's all true. Honest. Well apart from the hamster.

Still trying to work out how old Will Donnelly is and what combat experience the former Secretary of Young Independence has. Does arguing with a year 8 about jumping the queue count as combat experience?
I'm also desperate to know what the Democrats and Veterans party campaign slogan means - it's:
“Don’t just BUY British – buy patriot”
Guys? @DandVParty @JohnReesEvans
