To be absolutely fair to him, I can see the reasoning that every single avenue needs to be explored before calling for a second referendum as that will immediately cause a massive backlash and calls of "betrayal of democracy". Just like with the vote of no confidence in the government, the timing for calling for that has to be absolutely spot on.

Had he gone for the VOC before Christmas it would have been lost. Just with Rees-Mogg and his confidence motion in May, you can't shoot your load too early so to speak.

If he can force an election and win a majority (debatable) then he can also be confident that when he concludes his negotiations he can then put a referendum bill through parliament, presumably for either "new deal or remain".

That's how I see it possibly going, but he has to get the timing right to call for the referendum. If they don't get a majority in a GE, then again he needs to time that call right but with the Tories further weekend then the opportunity is there.

I was referring to his interview on Marr this morning where he said he believed he could negotiate a better deal and refused to acknowledge that we couldn’t have all the benefits of membership while being out.

Pure unicorn cakeism.

It's easy to promise things you know you aren't going to have to deliver.

I think there's also a bit of not wanting to go into negotiations having already admitted we won't get everything we want.

There are no other negotiations, we have 75 days to go. Even with an extension (and the EU would be unlikely to grant one for an election) there isn’t time to renegotiate the deal or another deal.

The time to fight this gooseberry fool was over a year ago when he was giving may a free pass to do strawberry float all.

AfD party votes to campaign for German exit from EU

Far-right nationalists decide for first time to seek ‘Dexit’ if bloc does not meet demands

The German far-right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has voted to campaign for the country’s exit from the European Union if its demand for reforms within the bloc are not met.

The decision on Sunday marks the first time any party has called for “Dexit” – a German departure from the EU in the mould of Brexit.

If the EU is not reshaped in line with the party’s ideas “in an appropriate timeframe”, Germany must leave the bloc, according to the draft manifesto for the forthcoming European parliament elections agreed by delegates at a party congress in the eastern state of Saxony.

Congress attendees also voted through a call to abolish the European parliament – the very body that AfD candidates will be campaigning to join this spring.

“We see nation states as having the exclusive competence to make laws,” the text said, attacking the “751 privileged members” of the present European house.

While both demands are now in the draft manifesto, a final vote later on Sunday will adopt or reject the entire campaign package. Elections for the European parliament will take place in May.

(Though I'm well aware there are other papers on that list that are extreme right wing)

EDIT: The Spectator are on there too but not an equivalent from the other viewpoint e.g. New Statesman. So I'm assuming you've made this list yourself?
