Not sure this thread is yet finished, but as ever a very good summary on where we are from @pmdfoster. Ireland border still the major issue, Chequers was dead on arrival but the EU doesn't know how to handle the future relationship declaration being empty
As yet none of today's informed views from the likes of @pmdfoster and @BrunoBrussels change my view that the most likely Brexit outcome is the two sides finding a way to a 'cryonic Brexit'
Update. The @pmdfoster thread is finished. Bit more gloomy than @BrunoBrussels about finding a solution. Both in the realms of not much happening until November, which I think I said on the last July #Brexitcast...

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 on the recent election from Western Kansas #ksleg Representative Adam Smith (adapted to @Twitter from his newsletter here mailchi.mp/b503f6027825/h…)
The election night map showed a significant portion of Kansas blanketed in red and only some of the the highly populated counties showing blue.
A Picture Is Worth 1000 Words

It's not always black and white... or in this case, red & blue.

The first look at the above map from the Secretary of State's website after the initial election results were complete may leave some Kansans feeling like their voice doesn't matter.

SO MUCH ADO ABOUT HSBC

#thread
People have been screaming about the exit of HSBC and UBS as sign of
bad economics. That's a huge lie. I will try to explain it in a very
simple way. HSBC and UBS were never set up for regular banking. When I say regular banking I mean retail banking.
They never ran salary
accounts; they were never set up to afford loans to customers etc.
Their sole purpose was to help customers who can afford their services
an easy way to transfer funds overseas.

#thread One of the biggest misconceptions of new managers is that they think they need to come across as having strong personalities and no weaknesses.

What they don't realize is that by doing that they alienate people. #thread 👇
* When junior people see their managers as very strong, they might be scared to share their opinion
* When senior people see their managers as strong on things that don't make sense, they might think they're an idiot and not say anything
I think the best thing we can do with our teams is create a vulnerability based trust where we can be who we really are. We're never as strong as when we're ourselves.

(THREAD) WOW—combined with Prince's House testimony, this July '17 article raises the possibility Prince sent Trump notes on Rohrabacher's April '16 sanctions meetings in Moscow just before Trump scheduled his Mayflower speech offering Putin a "good deal." thedailybeast.com/gop-lawmaker-g…
1/ Dana Rohrabacher is commonly supposed to be a Kremlin intermediary. He has a Kremlin code name; supports every Kremlin utterance on sanctions and much else; and was discussed on tape by the current and *also* the (likely) next leading House Republican as being "paid" by Putin.
2/ A few weeks before Trump's April 27th, 2016 Mayflower speech—a speech scheduled by Manafort the moment he seized power of the Trump campaign around April 19th—Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak asked Dana Rohrabacher to meet with one of Putin's "closest confidants" in Moscow.

(thread) Ok, I finished Anatomy of Fascism. Here’s my summary:

Fascism isn't an ideology, it's a phenomena, a mass uprising led by a mesmerizing leader who evokes the nation’s mythical destiny. Fascism arises when there is a large number of angry/ disaffected people…
2/ and when the democratic norms are weakened enough to crumble when assaulted.

Fascism can only arise in a democracy with widespread voting. which is why it didn’t appear until the 20th century. Previously, when elites ruled, they didn’t have to learn to mesmerize crowds.
3/ Fascism is a cult of leadership. The people believe the leader’s instincts are superior to rational logic employed by the “elites.” The leader is anti-establishment & extols violence.
