A couple of SME owners (Leaver & Remainer) campaigning for a smart approach to Brexit. We favour the EFTA/EEA option as a perfect compromise.

So I’ve seen a lot more interest in #EFTA #EEA this week, so here’s the question (please RT for sample size): if legal and parliamentary challenges fail and the choice is no deal or EFTA/EEA without a Customs Union, then would you be:

@baghwallah A pleasure. It’s just a shame that 3+ years after the referendum that this kind of detailed, balanced and sensible discussion is entirely absent from the debate in both the media and Parliament (bar the CM2.0 crew of course).

This is spot on. Timothy and May's decision to go for a harder Brexit was her first, and biggest, mistake. It wasn't inevitable that we'd end up here. May drove us onto this path...

If Nick Timothy hadn't encouraged her to rule out ECJ, EEA, CU etc early on, Mrs May might have had more room to maneuver and this might not be happening now. She allowed herself to be backed into a corner and her premiership was doomed from the start.

No Deal is the end of the road where all other options have run out; an admission of failure - that they don't actually need us more than we need them; a precipice at the edge of Britain's greatness; the point where hubris meets nemesis...

No, @BrandonLewis, you don't work for any of that. You're obsessed with banning things, and you have opposed Margaret Thatcher's greatest achievements — the Single Market and Freedom of Movement (aka the Free Market in Services). A pox on your pitiful Party.

As @Conservatives we work to ensure we deliver on the opportunities our future holds for everyone, while recognising the strength of our history.

A pointless delay caused by your failure to vote for the WA. A delay is better than your fantasy WTO exit too (and significantly less damaging to the country). If Brexit fails, the ERG and your media cheerleaders will carry the can.
John Redwood@johnredwood

Another pointless delay - the decision to delay Brexit is a bad one. The Withdrawal Agreement is not Brexit and is not acceptable to most UK voters. The WA is a long and expensive delay leaving the UK in a very weak position.

Why on earth is David Davis back on #r4today? Seriously it’s almost like he has a weekly slot. In which he giggles inanely and says nothing

@Peelite9 They're not even bothering with the details as long as the headline fits their "no deal will be ok" narrative.

Moronic thread. Queen doesn't have to make a statement simply because you a) don't know how the constitution works or b) you disagree with an Act passed by the Commons and Lords. Royal Assent is a formality as Parliament is sovereign.

MPs need to wake up to the fact that there are only two brexit options on the table - a soft brexit or the break up of the UK. Once you accept that you don't want the UK broken up, then a soft brexit remains the only logical choice.

@redditchrachel You have a duty ro LEAD, not follow like a sheep! No deal is a cliff edge. A danger. A threat to the economy. It will cost your constituents dear. Expert opinion is almost unanimous in that. You can either be a leader or a sheep. Which will it be?

How many times are MPs going to try and flog this deadhorse of an idea? It won't fly with the EU so why waste everyone's time?

@Anna_Soubry @peoplesvote_uk You messed up big time by not also voting for CM2.0 last night. Failed those who were considering supporting your new party, failed Parliament and failed the country

Am continuing to work cross party to secure a compromise motion combining Customs Union, regulatory alignment and @peoplesvote_uk which I hope will be voted for tomorrow. Of course I remain in favour of the PM “deal” going to a confirmatory public vote as well.
BBC Radio 4 Today@BBCr4today

Despite the Brexit deadlock, @TheIndGroup's @Anna_Soubry believes there is "huge progress" towards a public vote. She says her group didn't vote for the Commons Market option because it wouldn't guarantee 'frictionless trade' #r4today | @marthakearney | bbc.in/2K0jhl6

@heidiallen75 @TheIndGroup Sorry but you all voted against CU and CM2 so you’re prolonging the pain. It’s also increased the risk of no deal. A lot of us are disappointed by your collective lack of compromise.

Painful though this process is, if successful, the House will have delivered an alternative way forward in a week. PM would have saved the country so much pain if she’d let us get on with it sooner. @TheIndGroup
Chris Leslie@ChrisLeslieUK

The way forward now is to compromise around a cross-party motion, bringing together those arguing for a Customs Union #Brexit and those of us who want to give people an option of staying in EU through a ‘confirmatory public vote’. Let’s find the majority for that on Wednesday.
