Read this story as confirmation that the UK media is gullible enough about negotiations to print this nonsense. No, Barnier will not be available to meet 24/7 because he has a team of negotiators. This is simple blame the EU stuff. theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
Incidentally this will also be read in Brussels as indicative that the UK government's number one goal in negotiations is to blame the EU for any failure, and only number two to reach an agreement. It will heighten their existing fears.
In the short term one can see why the Government wants to blame the EU, and it does work to a degree. But as something you do in negotiations - disastrous. No point in EU engaging in serious negotiations when the other side is so immature.

As forecast the UK Government has committed to following a significant part of single market rules after Brexit as part of the backstop and commitments to Northern Ireland (doc - assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…)
Although the Government paper says this will be "only a small fraction of EU rules", in fact there are nearly 70 pages of the Withdrawal Agreement simply listing the regulations Northern Ireland will have to follow under the backstop (example page below)
In case you are missing the significance, the UK Government has confirmed that the whole country will follow EEA / single market disciplines without any representation until a new deal can be agreed.

Brexit is testing Parliamentary procedure. The Government does not command a majority.

Might as well break protocol further, it is time for a Parliamentary committee to take control of the Brexit process.
Yes, I can think of many reasons why this won't work, but nothing that would work better. We're going to be stuck in Parliamentary bickering for weeks unless something new is done.

With the Brexit debate returning to Parliament today, let's go back to basics and explore the facts, key issues, and questions that should be raised in the coming days. Thread... 1/
Most important point, which cannot be emphasised enough - the Withdrawal Agreement is primarily concerned with the terms of the divorce, e.g. financial, citizenship, and not the future (though the Irish backstop complicates this) 2/
Thus any statement a Minister makes about the future relationship being secured (such as that below from the Gov's 40 reasons to back the Brexit deal) is false. The political declaration setting out the future relationship is not binding. 3/

(THREAD) This thread is about the allegations against Julie Swetnick. I say "against" her, because that is my main focus. The allegations that she lied in her own allegations against Brett Kavanaugh.
1/ I am more familiar with the details of the Christine Blasey Ford case, but I think I have something useful to add about the Julie Swetnick case too.

I will use these in this thread:

BK - Brett Kavanaugh
JS - Julie Swetnick
MJ - Mark Judge
2/ I'll start off by saying that I don't know whether JS told the truth or not. I do know that if somebody wants to convince people that JS lied, they should be able to make their case without deceiving. If they can't make their case without falsehoods, why not?

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.
