Gardiner seems to be being more explicit that Labour's aim is to get a more consensual Brexit (Customs Union, etc) before going for a confirmatory referendum. https://twitter.com/BarryGardiner/st...18792788148225

may loses a 2nd vote on no deal which she first said would be a free vote and then changed her mind to a 3 line whip in favour of keeping no deal on the table.

Where do you get that 30th June date from Dr?
I'm a bit more positive now than I have been. Just seen some very tall Tory Brexiter from Middlesborough (why the fuck does Middlesbrough have a Tory MP? What are they thinking?) saying that there is really now only a choice between the WA or no Brexit. I mean he was appalled by that but that's because he's a twat

She should have gone one better and say either it's WA or revocation...Anyhow, interesting days ahead, finally a sense that the No Deal coup d'etat by the nutters is receding fast. The WA is just that, future relationship yet to be defined...

Ad hoc, Middlesbrough doesn't have a Tory MP, Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland has a Tory MP. It used to be called Langbaurgh and has always been a bit of a swing seat as it contains Middlesbrough's middle class suburbs, a large number of retirees and small town and rural voters in Guisborough, Skelton, Saltburn, Loftus, areas still smarting about the EU* closing Redcar steelworks. It had a Labour MP for the past five elections, in a seat that would probably be safe Tory if it were elsewhere in the country.
*actually it was the owners and the EU said explicitly that the Tories weren't prevented by state aid rules from intervening to save the plant, but they declined, however the narrative that has taken hold is as above

By the way, how can we convince the media to pronounce Erg how it should be pronounced, as it looks, rather than as three letters.

How do indicative votes work? I haven;t been able to find a satisfactory answer. I understand that they're designed to test opinion rather than have any binding effect, but i don't know the process. Are there a series of votes on different things? (eg Would you be supportive of a second referndum or not?) or is it a sort of ballot with a number of options on? (eg which of these options is your preference A, B, C, D etc?). Is it a secret ballot or is it like the regular parliamentary voting?

So I was in a meeting yesterday and the Brexit plans for the organisation are:
Being told to expect shortages in 10% of drugs but no one knows which 10%
Being told to expect fuel shortages
All the insulin is made in Denmark. That's not an optional drug. People who are prescribed it are called insulin-DEPENDENT for a reason. At the moment no guarantee insulin won't be in the 10%
There's no actual plan because there's no information to plan with.
Why the fuck are we doing this as a nation? Nobody voted for this even if they voted Leave.
