1. Restoring Freedom of Movement of people isnโ€™t just an itch that a few frequent travellers and seasonal workers want scratched.

For sure, it doesnโ€™t bother everyoneโ€ฆ (and some lucky people have Irish โ˜˜๏ธ passports already)
2. Donโ€™t be anxious that itโ€™s an itch that, if scratched, will stop people wanting to #rejoinEU.

(Because EU membership is so much more.)
3. Restoring Freedom of Movement of people is not just an itch to scratch because itโ€™s a fundamental foundation stone that we need to embrace to ever have a hope of #rejoinEU.

Itโ€™s not an issue to be ignored and dodged.

Why?

A winter of self-inflicted discontent is coming with lashings of chaos, disorder and departures from European standards that protect food security. Brexit embracing globalism for anarcho-capitalists is rotting the foundations of regulation with unecessary red tape. #Brexit

1/ Brexit was designed by the economic libertarian right to drive the UK towards ever more libertarian economic, trade and regulatory arrangements to compensate for the loss of EU trade. Any devation from that path will be labelled as sabotaging Brexit.
#RejoinEU
2/ The EU does not allow cherry-picking so any attempt to improve our trade with the EU, particularly in the vital service sector will require rejoining the Single Market. A Labour government wedded to Brexit won't be able to do that.
3/ So unable to bring the UK back into the Single Market a Labour government would be under immense pressure to boost the economy by implementing the kind of deregulation and tax cuts for businesses and global investors demanded by the market fundamentalists.

Rejoiners - if you want Labour to listen to us, then you have to threaten to deny it your votes. That is the only way to ever get a chance of rejoining the EU or Single Market.

The local elections are a good chance to show rejoiners are an electoral force. Vote pro-EU
#RejoinEU
The same goes for supporters of PR. Labour will only listen to you if you threaten to deny it your votes. Facts, reasons and Conference votes will have no effect. Only the threat of electoral defeat will force the Labour leadership to support PR.
Leavers bullied Cameron into a referendum and May into Brexit extremism by making a very clear threat to vote for UKIP. Rejoiners and PR supporters must learn from that and apply a similar form of pressure on the Labour leadership.

Nick Robinson leads by blaming the NHS for the problems with the NHS.

NO

The root cause of #NHS problems is 13 years of managed decline by @Conservatives

A significant contributory factor is #Brexit

You are #fakenews

We see you

1/ If you want us to rejoin the EU or Single Market, if you want Freedom of Movement restored, then you should seriously consider voting for pro-EU parties in the local elections. Only when politicians see that Rejoiners are an electoral force will they listen to us.
#RejoinEU
2/ While the Labour leadership knows it can take Rejoiner votes for granted it will ignore us and will continue to pander to the dwindling minority of hard core Leavers. If it fears the loss of Rejoiner votes it will act to keep us on board.
3/ Does Labour need to go full blast for rejoining? Of course not. It could just say that if there was a strong majority for rejoining the SM or EU, then as a democratic party it would have to listen to that majority.

1/ Boris Johnson used Jo Cox's murder and the threat of terrorism to intimidate MPs into supporting Brexit. He wasn't the only leading politician to use the threat of violence to scare MPs into toeing the line.

Why have we been so accepting of Brexit terrorism?
#RejoinEU
2/ The Brexit press and leading Brexit politicians used rhetoric that legitimised, encouraged and incited violence. The use of threats of violence for political goals is legally defined as terrorism.
3/ The incitement and legitimisation of Brexit terrorism resulted in threats to MPs so grave that some MPs were intimidated into not supporting Remain. The outcome of key parliamentary votes may have been altered by Brexit terrorist threats.
