I just thought, the new Tory leader might not even get to be prime minister.
What if Theresa May loses the Tory leadership, but the DUP refuses to endorse a new leader of a new government. What does the Queen do then?
That's it. If Theresa May resigns and the DUP won't endorse the new Tory leader, we're straight into a general election.
So if the Tories replace Theresa May with a remainer, the DUP bail out and we get an election.
But if the Tories replace Theresa May with a Brexiteer, we're stuck in the same problem, and we can't change leader again so we get an election.
And the Tories know they can't beat Corbyn with another Brexiteer after Brexit has already failed.
The Tories are going to sack Theresa May, abandon Brexit and call a general election this autumn.

We're not expecting a withdrawal agreement on October 18th, but another Euco is pencilled in for November 15th - just in case.
But the stupidity of English politics . . . We'd better go through this properly so we all understand what's what.
The "deal" we're talking about - but anyone using that word has no right to call themself a journalist - is a withdrawal agreement. Just that, and nothing more.
When they say a "deal" can be done, what they mean is complete a withdrawal agreement.
And that's the easy part, remember. Withdrawal agreement. Could have done that at any time in the last two years.
That's what Article 50 is for: Complete a withdrawal agreement

Theresa May is the global village idiot, and English political journalism would embarrass a three year old.
There is a problem with BBC news. The BBC has always been a bit inflated with this image of itself as the journal of national record.
And what they've done in Brexit is they've adopted government posture. To the extent they've almost become a propaganda outfit.
The BBC has chosen, quite politically, to disregard the European Union as a valid source of information.
And that has left the country entirely ignorant because it turns out the European Union has been providing valid information.

No. The quality that's missing from Corbyn, that Blair had infinite amounts of, is discipline.

Tony Blair got to the top of the Labour Party with the kind of discipline that Corbyn has never learnt.
Corbyn became Labour leader by accident. He never expected to get the job, and he never wanted it. It just came his way by crazy fortune, and he has staggered around ever since in a clueless muddle.
And it's that complete absence of discipline that most resembles Trump. They both came in the same way, as a clownish escapade, and neither of them has shown any sign of even the basic maturity for the job.

Waiting for the start of the Brexit What's The Deal event at Bracknell Open Learning Centre organised by Berkshire for Europe.
We'll be live tweeting the event, so watch this space.
If you are at the event, use the hashtag #WhatsTheDealBracknell on social media.
It promises to be an interesting evening, particularly with the news this afternoon that Railways Minister @JoJohnsonUK has resigned from the government and spoken out in favour of a #PeoplesVote on Brexit rather than the choice of no deal or a bad deal.
Our speakers this evening are:
Bracknell MP @DrPhillipLeeMP who was one of the early MPs to resign their ministerial post over Brexit (for the right reasons)

The Reichstag Warning ⚠️⚠️⚠️

By @TimothyDSnyder

On February 27, 1933 the German Parliament building burned, Adolf #Hitler rejoiced, and the #Nazi era began.

#Hitler, who had just been named head of a #government that was legally formed after the democratic #elections of the previous November, seized the opportunity to change the system. “There will be no mercy now,” he exulted. “Anyone standing in our way will be cut down.”
2/
The next day, at Hitler’s advice and urging, the #German #president issued a decree “for the protection of the people and the state.”

Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo spoke with Prime Minister of Iraq Haider al-Abadi to reaffirm U.S. support for Iraq’s efforts to form a moderate, nationalist, Iraqi government, pursuant to the constitutional timeline that is responsive to the aspirations of the Iraqi people.
The Secretary emphasized the importance of safeguarding Iraq’s sovereignty during this critical time.

Finally, the Secretary underscored continuing U.S. support for a strong, sovereign, and prosperous Iraq as outlined in the bilateral U.S.-Iraq Strategic Framework Agreement.

According to the @WSJ the Iraqi #government has bank accounts with the U.S. Federal Reserve, where its #dollars are kept, which the Iraqi economy relies upon could be frozen should Iraq violate #sanctions politico.com/magazine/story…
#Iran has deliberately flooded Iraqi market with cheap imports and foodstuffs. This has undercut Iraq agriculture by decreasing demand4 homegrown products that R more expensive. Even if Iraq were2 stop buying these goods #farmers would not B able2 produce enough supplies at home
Iran has political leverage, too. Since the May 12 national #election Iraq’s political elites have been unable to form a government in part because of enormous pressure from #Tehran to install politicians in their favor. Iran’s loyalists succeed and dominate the new government...

1) #TheresaMay has revealed herself to be an open borders corporatist and an #EU fifth columnist. She regards #Brexit as a problem to be neutralised, not a promise to be delivered.
2) For two years #TheresaMay has stalled us and watered down what we voted for until there is virtually nothing left of it. She has been deliberately deceitful and she has insulted the intelligence of millions of people.
3) Many people who voted to remain want #Brexit to happen because they’re fair-minded enough to respect the result of a democratic vote. They can see that for the government to renege on the result would be like punching a hole in the bottom of a boat.

The morning after #GE14: Police block the main entrance to the National Palace. "The government has not been formed. Nothing is happening here," - one officer tells me. Dr Mahathir told us he would be sworn in today.
Palace confirms swearing in won't be taking place today, with heightened security at each entrance. When will Dr Mahathir be sworn in? #GE14
This photo is circulating but this is not the outfit that PM candidates wear when being sworn in. Stay tuned for updates on what's actually happening with Dr Mahathir's swearing in. #GE14
