.@BarryGardiner effectively saying on #r4today that we have to trash our country with Brexit to stop right-wing xenophobes from rioting. FFS.

What is the point of @UKLabour? Absolute joke.
Perhaps @BarryGardiner needs reminding of the way that decent British people deal with fascists: we don’t cower and let them get their way, we fight them and their ugly, racist, xenophobic ideology.

Brexit: New EU referendum vote could spark ‘civil disobedience’, says Labour's @BarryGardiner.

Remember when Labour’s front bench wasn’t occupied by fascist-appeasers?

Still, at least the members who put them there get to sing a song about the leader.

State of this:

Kate Hoey quoting Brexit Central, quoting Barry Gardiner.

With an Opposition like the current one, we are totally screwed.

Theresa May “I’m unashamed to say that foreign aid must work for the UK.”

Pandering, once again, to the right-wingers. The sort of people who, if they saw an old lady fall over, would ask “Before I help you up, what’s in it for me?”

What mean, selfish nation we’re becoming.
What *a* mean, selfish nation we’re becoming.
For every new follower I get in September, I will give 10p to charity - I will only give money if I benefit. I care about disadvantaged people, but my charity donations must work for *me*.

Oh, Nadine....

You really have to stop your Boris Johnson obsession, it is quite deluded.

Let’s have a look at your claims:
Boris delivered the Olympics?

Lord Coe and the British Olympic Association did that, and Ken Livingstone was in charge when the bid went in and was won.

Boris was simply fortunate enough to be in office while they were on.

Boris banished bendy buses?

He wasted millions on new Routemaster buses.

Conventional double-decker: £190,000

Boris’s vanity buses: £354,500

Brexit options:

1. Remain member of EU
2. Stay in Single Market and Customs Union
3. Leave Single Market and/or Customs Union
4. No deal
1. Remaining a member of the EU allows us a seat at the table in the house - where decisions are made - and we get all the benefits of being a member of the household.

There may be negative aspects of sharing a home, but they are overwhelmingly outweighed by the positives.
2. Staying in Single Market and Customs Union is gives us the security of being close to the house - but we’re not part of the family and don’t have a proper say in what will affect us.

What those around the table in the house decide, us in our caravan have to do.

Bank holiday comes six times a year
Days of enjoyment to which everyone cheers
Bank holiday comes with six-pack of beer
Then it's back to work A-G-A-I-N.

For those working this weekend, sorry. X

My opinion on the HoL has changed quite dramatically in recent years. I'd always been of the opinion that an unelected chamber was terrible, but when I look at the attitude and behaviour of many in the Lords, especially on Brexit, I half-wish they were running the country.
The very fact that they aren't democratically elected means that the Lords are (in many cases) putting their country and its people before party loyalties. Whereas in the HoC, far too many are scared of the whips and damaging their own career prospects.
Many in the Lords have been in politics since before we joined the EEC, and can remember why we joined it (because we were screwed). They've seen our economy improve and our global influence restored, and they're keen not to see it thrown away.
