esp 3 of #unprecedented by @Guto_Harri. 3 things: 1/Guto says #BorisJohnson caused own demise by lack of decisive /timely action - maybe advice was sufficiently compelling but also surprising as BJ never one to throw himself under a bus when there's someone else he could throw.
2/ Sue Gray (and #standards
Committe) was "obviously" out to get Johnson, and he's repeated this elsewhere. #unprecedented

3/ yes it was a clusterf**k with the parties etc but - and precious- "they" (the party types) had "also suffered" so this excuses all that they did. #unprecedented by @Guto_Harri is transparently "the case for Boris" and timing has been planned to influence @HarrietHarman et al

"For those of you who think behavior change can prevent #ClimateChange...behavior WILL change when climate changes. Shutdowns from the pandemic resulted in a reduction of #C02 emissions of about 7.5%."

The findings show an absence of a systematic and coordinated plot to take over these schools and an absence of any concerted and deliberate plot to promote radicalisation and violent extremism of Muslim children in these schools or elsewhere

language used to talk about the issues of “radicalisation” & “extremism” is itself the subject of considerable debate (Kundnani 2012; Lynch 2013). There is also a difficulty in understanding fully these issues cos there is a lack of an objective or universally accepted definition
As soon as the media took hold of the allegations, there was huge publicity about the promotion of extremism, radicalisation & terrorism.
At the time, the press also expressed many irrational anxieties about these Muslim majority schools (Arthur 2015). Even though, from the

They are suspending the rules to force the terrible block grant bill through the House. #unprecedented
This bill cuts coverage rather than expands it—in a pandemic! It puts a cap on coverage—IN A PANDEMIC!
Did I mention it’s possibly unconstitutional.

Tomorrow Wirecard ($WDI GY) is going to release preliminary 1Q 2020 results, having not released 4Q 2019 financial statements. In over 40 years of investing I cannot ever recall a similar situation. Their auditor, E&Y has not yet signed-off on the 2019 audit. #Unprecedented
Wirecard, as promised, released “preliminary” 1Q numbers (revenues and EBITDA) this morning. The absurdity of this situation beggars belief. A company cannot prepare current financial statements without previous balance sheets, etc. That’s a fact. GY
(2) Yet the last set of (unaudited) financial statements we have for Wirecard are from September. Consider that a company whose sole business is tracking financial flows cannot account for its own financial position. What proper fiduciary would risk doing business like this?
We sent a letter to Chicago's mayor and the CPS CEO today regarding their response to the #COVID19 #coronavirus pandemic. We have extreme concerns about their plans for the continued safe operation of our district. ctulocal1.org/posts/covid-le…
We have been in close communication with CPS officials about the district’s response to the occurrence at Vaughn Occupational High School. We understand our nation on a whole is in uncharted territory. But this moment demands leadership from the highest levels.
What we've seen thus far has been confusing and inconsistent. We hearing complaints from a number of educators at schools with more than 1,000 students. The governor has wisely banned gatherings of 250 people or more. Where is the continuity?
.@washingtonpost profile of @FedSoc recreates "Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States" with the Justices and modern political players. Very well done. washingtonpost.com/news/magazine/…
The Constitution also recounts the Obamacare origin story at the Mayflower with me, @RandyEBarnett, @ToddGaziano, Nate Stewart, and others #Unprecedented
The article accurately explains that the value of @FedSoc conventions is not in the panels, but in the hallway of the Mayflower.
1/ Thread analyzing Judge O'Connor's ACA decision drive.google.com/file/d/1CAbrWy…
2/ The court found that the individual parties have standing, even though there is no penalty for going uninsured: there is no requirement to show economic injury to establish standing. The mandate, by itself, suffices.
3/ Moreover, a decision for the Plaintiffs would "free" them from mandate, so causation and redressability are satisfied.
