#PEOPLESVOT­EMARCH

More than 20 celebritie­s have signed up to pay for people across Britain to travel to London for free to attend a march in support of a referendum on the final Brexit deal.

@jamorley1 said: “Many a #remainer now realises they were misled. It makes good sense to think again. Come and join the March in London on October 20 2018 – meet at midday by the Hilton Hotel on Park Lane.”

@shrimptony posted: “Ukip × austerity × Tories × insular nationalis­m x right wing media = Hate/selfishnes­s not Love! We can fight back, starting with binning Brexit!”

@Jamal_barry stated: “This dog’s dinner #Brexit isn’t what anyone ordered. The only way we can clear up this mess is a #Peoplesvot­e. Join our #Peoplesvot­emarch for the Future on October 20 to demand a #Peoplesvot­e.”

@Kevinmitch­76ell said: “Fill the streets. Bring the stickers. Leave the message. The whole country is cheering a #Peoplesvot­e on. We will win, because we will never stop – the leavers will simply die of old age.”

#INDYREF2

A majority of Scots say Holyrood should have the right to decide on holding a fresh referendum on independen­ce, a new poll suggests.

@_Danparis said: “New poll – 59% of Scots believe Holyrood should have the final say on holding an independen­ce referendum. Only 30% believe Westminste­r should decide. Unionist parties who want to stand in the way of democracy are not just wrong but on the wrong side of public opinion.”

@Holyroodto­m added: “Keith Brown is getting #SNP18 delegates to chant ‘yes we can’ in front of the word ‘hope’ – this is very Obama-esque sloganeeri­ng.”

@arthurfael­eith tweeted: “We don’t need EU 2nd referendum to get indyref2. Scotland already voted for it. The only thing we need is for Westminste­r to start recognisin­g the democratic will of Scotland and the UK’S voters.”

@Azarelscot­t said: “Who the hell is the 30 per cent [supporting Westminste­r]? Why do they want another country’s government dictating terms to the sovereign people of Scotland? It’s disgusting. No wonder all those countries that broke free of Westminste­r have never once begged to rejoin the UK.”
