On @BBCPolitics Live, I discussed why a long Article 50 extension would be so unwise. It would do appalling damage to the integrity of our democratic institutions. https://t.co/OGjJVj9nUn — PolitiTweet.org

I spoke to @jonsnowC4 on @Channel4News last night on the opportunity which the demise of the Withdrawal Agreement provides to return to Tusk's offer of a generous Free Trade Deal and, in the meantime, invoke standstill agreements of Malthouse Plan B. https://t.co/yQCjyVZY4U — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

“Just 14% of the public think May’s deal delivers Brexit...Conservative voters also back No Deal, with 66% saying they agreed with the statement ‘In order to get the best deal with the EU, ‘no-deal’ must be put back on the negotiation table’.” https://t.co/khYwNHumkZ — PolitiTweet.org

Really shocking. “Brexit is the greatest opportunity this country has faced in years, yet our Government machine is currently working from within to frustrate it. This must not go on.” https://t.co/nRY8n0ukSh — PolitiTweet.org

I and 22 other MPs have written to the @Telegraph today. If the UK leaves the EU as planned on March 2019, “no deal” will prove to be the precursor to a very good deal indeed. https://t.co/VVVw1TFWet — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

“The deal does not deliver Brexit except in name. Not only does in not deliver Brexit, it also makes it impossible for a future Prime Minister to deliver a real Brexit as well, for many years to come or indefinitely.” https://t.co/UkCOrFGkmV — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

“Are we really going to be able to do proper free-trade deals? Are we going to have full rights to make our own laws, just like any other sovereign nation?..At present the answer to all those questions is a resounding “no”.” https://t.co/9bwBeDevF4 — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Great piece by @MelanieLatest. “The only way to ensure the UK leaves the EU, and to prevent the disintegration of support for the entire political process, is to vote down Mrs May’s unthinkable terms and leave by legal default with no deal.” https://t.co/ljzsoKsaqB — PolitiTweet.org

Many thanks North Shropshire @Conservatives AGM for unanimously endorsing the Executive’s motion that it “continues to support the stance taken by their MP in relation to Brexit in asking for the Conservative Manifesto commitments to be delivered.” https://t.co/URfSE7mzvP — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

“There is a deeper, democratic objection to voting for her deal...Is no one left to speak for the majority who put them there? If so, don’t suppose that the Commons in its current form, or the main parties that compose it, will last much longer.” https://t.co/hQGvOYRvTs — PolitiTweet.org

Significant comment from @EPP’s @ManfredWeber: “It is not enough for the British Parliament to say ‘we want an extension.’ We also need to know what the purpose of it is.” — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

“Whatever anti-democratic processes are carried out next, the ERG must realise they should have no part in them – and let the anti-Brexit MPs electorally dig their own graves.” https://t.co/JCIx6lDxno — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

My piece in today’s @Telegraph. Without substantial changes, I will vote against the Withdrawal Agreement when it returns to the Commons. The Malthouse Plan B is now the best option to deliver Brexit on time and in full. https://t.co/i1WtijWZA6 — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

“Parliament does not want to rejoin the EU, it does not want a referendum. It cannot ask for an extension to implement the deal if MPs don’t want the deal...Once you have eliminated all the alternatives, the conclusion is...the UK will leave on 29th March” https://t.co/LxWqoSBzOQ — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting interview with Prof Robert Tombs “The idea that it is not possible to leave the EU seems to be the most dangerous affront to democracy...if this view prevails, it would be the end of democratic sovereignty in this country and throughout the EU” https://t.co/sis6Tt42Yh — PolitiTweet.org
