Also worth noting that just as MPs are running around demanding No Deal be taken off the table, support for No deal is rapidly increasing.

Very enjoyable read from @johnharris1969 on why "No Deal" is increasingly popular despite the anguish of the chattering and political classes. https://t.co/tCWRku1noR

Almost like most Britons, including many who voted Remain, are utterly disgusted by the way a group of politicians led by Tony Blair have sought to overturn a democratic vote in our country. As well as how our European 'friends' have treated us and our weak government.

It's reminding me already of the referendum itself, how Joe Public surged towards Leave as the threats, scare stories and dirty deals the government and Remain tried on just simply bounced off people. The British people will NOT be intimidated!

Thoughts? What is your preferred outcome now, with 66 days to go?

Parliamentarians are completely out of touch with the general population (in my area anyway). As an example people are absolutely sick of their green belt destroyed to make way for housing with no infrastructure to support it. Transport is appalling, dentists full, GPs full, schools full. Every single post I see about housing gets receives the same negative angry responses. Do they listen? No .. 3 million more houses is what this country needs. Birmingham has a population of 1.2 million, 3 million homes 3 to a house is 9 million people. 7 Birminghams!

That issue won't change regardless if we stay or leave.. I think people are just rebelling. The general public have very little understanding of the implications that a no deal would bring.. It's the job of parliamentarians to make the informed decisions to lead this country.. and if they say it's bad I believe them

EDIT: My preferred outcome is to stay in the EU but I think that's off the table. We're stronger together but the EU has evolved far beyond just trade. I can honestly see one big superstate in the end - I'm anxious what that would look like. Mixed feelings as you can see

Second referendum MPs today pretty much announced the end of their campaign outside of Parliament.

EU Medicines Regulator left Britain yesterday.

Today, EMA staff lowered the 28 EU flags and symbolically said goodbye to their London offices. Guido Rasi expressed his thanks to the UK for its contribution to the work of the Agency and for having been a gracious host of EMA since 1995. pic.twitter.com/KpsBvaXt42
