‘Brexit Ministers Davis and Baker Quit in Blow to May’

‘The double resignation late on Sunday has the potential to derail May’s government and set in motion a chain of events that could lead to an attempt to oust her as prime minister’

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Brexit has many of the same cast of characters involved in getting Trump elected.

‘Third Brexit minister resigns amid hard-line Brexiteer revolt’

If another resigns- this could trigger a no confidence vote. The Conservatives would be unlikely to stay in power.

1. Let’s see what Mnuchin is up to... Oh, he sent the market into a tailspin by calling an unnecessary emergency meeting Christmas Eve.

But there is more here than meets the eye. Let me explain.

2. Mnuchin Blames Volcker Rule for market volatility, which makes no sense, since the rule was in place during Obama and no volatilty.

The Volker rule essentially prevents banks from speculating that might be harmful to customers.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Hillary Clinton wanted to strengthen the Volker rule and was also going to propose a high-frequency trading tax.

Which would make Hedge Fund companies (like Mercer’s) a little miserable.

‘Trump administration is weighing Afghan troop withdrawal’

•Mattis leaving
•US pulling out of Syria

nbcnews.com/news/military/…
Putin is following the ‘Foundations of Geopolitics.’ In the book, Dugin calls for ‘strategic control of the United States’ and calls Russia the ‘staging area of an anti-American revolution.’ Dugin called for the weakening of ‘liberal values.’

For this plan to work: ‘Military operations play relatively little role. The textbook believes in a sophisticated program of subversion, destabilization, and disinformation spearheaded by the Russian special services’

1. This secret grand jury case is possibly Mueller’s and the court documents make reference to it being a company ‘owned by Country A.’ This limits which company it might be. Vnesheconombank (VEB) is a Russian government-owned bank.

talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/appe…
As per the New York Times (2017) VEB is ‘intertwined with Russian intelligence.’

It’s also the Bank that met secretly with Kushner and helped finance Trump’s Toronto hotel.

businessinsider.com/russian-vneshe…
Deutsche Bank and Alfa Bank are not state-owned. Cambridge Analytica and it’s related entities (SCL, AIQ) are located in other countries, but not state-owned.

This is also the case where the entire floor was cleared.

1. There is a goliath dishonesty afoot among the leave camp that I want no part of. Everyone from Gisela Stuart through to Spiked Online, CrapX and John Redwood are pretending that anything that isn't no deal is not #Brexit. This is a sickening lie.
2. International relations are a rich tapestry of agreements ranging from exchange of letters through to mutual recognition agreements through to formal MoUs and FTAs. Nobody deals one default terms alone.
3. To that that end every nation on earth has binding obligations both with trading partners and international organisations on everything from fishing to space policy. Everything functions on integrated systems of rules.

I am issuing the following statement:

First, I would like to commend Debbie Ramirez for being brave
enough to share her story. I am humbled by the courage she has
shown.

Second, I am not a part of some last-minute smear campaign.

(1/6)
Brett Kavanaugh was my neighbor freshman year of college. On Sep 17 he issued the following blanket denial regarding the high school claims of Professor Ford: "I have never done anything like what the accuser describes — to her or to anyone”.

(2/6)
This blanket denial set in motion a chain of events, and The New Yorker article was the result.

Third, I agree with Debbie Ramirez that there should be an FBI investigation,
in which everyone involved is interviewed.

Thread: How are UK online news outlets covering #Brexit in 2018? More analysis, with more data and charts!

Part 5: **Balance in Brexit reporting**

Which outlets are more positive about #Brexit, and which are more negative?
Running the numbers, it seems that the BBC's articles are most likely to skew positive about Brexit, while the Independent is the most negative.

In the middle, the Guardian and the Mail (the latter possibly due to MoS vs DM stances).
So, how did I reach this conclusion? Readers of previous threads will know that I’ve been analysing the headlines of 2,000 Brexit articles and body text of 1300 items published since Jan 2018.

Part 2: **Cabinet vs Shadow Cabinet**

#Labour #Conservatives

Again, usual spiel on being conducted in personal capacity
I’ll start off with saying that this really isn’t looking great for the Shadow Cabinet… So for the faint of heart or easily enraged, look away now. 1/
Across ~2000 news headlines on #Brexit since Jan 18, there were 463 references to Conservative Cabinet ministers, and just 48 for their Shadow counterparts.

In other words, 91% of news headline references to Cabinet-level MPs were to Government politicians. 2/

1. Starting to think the chances of a deal are closer to zero. There isn't enough coherence between the media, politicians, parties and policy wonks. they are all too easily distracted by trivia and Westminster sideshows.

#Brexit thread
2. The facts are that the EU has turned down any cake and eat it proposal on regulation and divergence and I find it is wise to take them at their word when they say no cherrypicking.
3. Loosely, the proposal from May is to leverage the NI solution into a while UK solution - which the EU has already declined. If anyone in government or close to it was paying attention they would have told May that the proposal is a stillborn.
