Tories have totally failed on #Brexit & reduced UK to a laughing stock. At @The_Convention_ I argued we need a temp cross party Govt to hold a #PeoplesVote & #RevokeArt50 & deliver us from disaster but @theSNP must be included & #Scottish democracy respected https://t.co/YuYSEdaPwD

This superb @newyorker article makes an overwhelming case against @arron_banks: his wife a suspected Russian asset, his business littered with ‘red flags for money laundering’. 11 days to Brexit. And govt maintains TOTAL silence. Britain is so very lost

This detailed @NewYorker investigation into Arron Banks, his Russian connections, and his opaque funding of the https://t.co/B6veD65mWb campaign makes an unanswerable case for a Mueller-style inquiry into whether the EU referendum was stolen.

2/2 "When you look at how, for example, the NCA [National Crime Agency] has just sat on blatant evidence of Russian interference in Brexit ; when you look at how you can go and commit the largest infraction of campaign finance law in British history and get away with it.”

WATCH: @SimRiyat voted leave in 2016, he was sold it as a great opportunity by Dougas Carswell. He realised 18 mths ago, both with his head & his heart, that it's not in the UKs interests & changed his mind. He is a #remainerNow.

Here he was on Friday @The_Convention_ explaining

Green Party co-leader @CarolineLucas says more than 70 per cent of young voters backed Remain in the EU referendum - and there should be a second poll.

What’s the message the remain campaign should have had if there is another vote?

We need to lead. Not leave.

It seems the panel are in agreement and the audience applauds.
