Fair warning to my followers. Over the next 4 days I’m going to be live-tweeting from @BylineFest, with coverage of sessions, the bad press awards and more. It’ll be about journalism, politics and how to navigate our collective way out of the current mess… #bylinefest
@BylineFest … if that’s your thing, great - do follow along :)

If not, you might want to temporarily mute me, or mute the hashtag #bylinefest that I’ll tag all my tweets with

But hopefully you’ll want to follow along and get a flavour of the UK’s biggest festival of journalism
@BylineFest …Look at sessions on the festival website bylinefestival.com/friday/ and let me know any you’d really like me to cover - perhaps I can take you there virtually.

I’ll kick off from about 2pm tomorrow. Wish me luck with the toilets, the phone signal, and battery life!

Evening all. It’s time for another of my threads looking at the steady progress being made by good people in fixing the mess of Brexit/Trump/Russia. Stand by for some good news...
First up, if you haven't seen my previous threads like this, here is the last one so you can catch up...
...Big headline this week is parliament getting its mojo back and government losing 3 key votes - including becoming the first gov in British history to be found in contempt of parliament. But the other 2 votes were significant too. @IanDunt has details... politics.co.uk/blogs/2018/12/…

For those who followed my thread on the IOD spinning survey results about Brexit to support May’s deal... it turns out they sent that press release out TWO WEEKS before the survey had even finished!! It closes Nov 30th!!
...sure enough, I dig back into my emails to find the survey invitation I was sent, and it confirms the closing date is 30th Nov...
… here is the thread where I wrote about the slant in the structure of the survey, and the communication of its ‘results'…

@SommetGovTech next session is ‘From Lab to Gov - harnessing the power of innovation’ #GovTechSummit ...
... the panel is:
...Alexandre starts by saying gov must innovate because citizens demand and expect it - they are used to a private sector that is making life easier and more connected. The challenge is how does government go about procuring such innovation?... #GovTechSummit

Not just State, of course, but the captive in-house law firm of the Deep State and the Clinton Mob -- otherwise known as the US Department of Justice
And while this has been going on for a decade, the last two years of it can and must be laid at the feet of the present President of the United States.
Don't @ excuses. There are none.

I am back for the Wednesday afternoon session of #USCCB18.
To be honest, I'm not sure what to expect this afternoon, and neither is anyone else I've spoken with. There are a few things it *seems* the bishops would want to do before executive session, but the printed agenda went out the window, so I don't know what the plan is.

And it goes on and on and on

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
