EU sources say there will be “no summit” and there are “no actual talks”, some discussions on reassurances. Another diplomatic source tells me even those will not come before the vote next week. /1
Still not entirely sure whether the Meaningful Vote debate that resumes tomorrow will be the continuation of the one curtailed last month or a new one. Former more likely. Would have to make special provision for previous speakers to speak again /2
Tory MPs who attended the Downing St drinks were expecting a bit of a rousing unity speech from PM - surprised there wasn’t one at all even “none of you will be back here” type cajoling. On the way out none I spoke to had changed mind.

22 Tory MPs including PPSs, trade envoys, grandees among 209 MPs signing joint cross party letter from Caroline Spelman/Jack Dromey “must not crash out of EU without a deal. We urge the Government to agree a mechanism that would ensure a ‘No Deal’ Brexit could not take place”
... Tory 22 include Spelman, Boles, Soames, Letwin, Vaizey, Keegan, ex Trade Minister Garnier, Trade Envoy R Graham... more than enough rebels to win vote. As opposing No Deal is manifesto policy of Labour, LDs, Plaid, SNP and Greens it seems highly likely there’s a Commons maj..
At this stage the 209 MPs are
162 Labour,
22 Tory,
18 SNP,
5 Lib Dem
and 4 Plaid.

“we had to send a clear message tomorrow before a fortnight of key debates commencing on Tuesday with the Finance Bill” said one signatory.

Ramsgate port approach now being dredged (NB by a Dutch dredger) in preparation for the potential taxpayer-funded ferry service to Ostend as a part alternative to anticipated No Deal Brexit blockages on the main Dover-Calais / Channel Tunnel routes
Meanwhile the first stages of “Operation Fennel” which we reported last month are now taking place - @TomBoadle has obtained this DfT letter about live testing Manston Airport Monday as another lorry park, in addition to 13 miles of M20 AND the M26 for No Deal Brexit disruption
Here is Operation Fennel - storing 10,000 cross channel lorries - the 5000 headed for Dover Port at Manston and 2000 For Eurotunnel on the M20 with a further 2000 on the M26 and then potentially stage 5 is for storage outside of Kent, if all that gets full...

Romania takes over the EU Presidency at a critical time, when several legislative negotiations need to be concluded ahead of European elections. Read my thoughts in this thread 👇
First, I wish them the best of luck. At the same time, the Romanian government must deliver on their commitments with regard to the #ruleoflaw.
The reforms of the judiciary, of the criminal code and also the NGO law must fully reflect the recommendations of the Venice Commission, and be re-assessed by this expert body before enactment.

1) This is my Q thread for December 20, 2018

Q posts can be found here: qmap.pub

My theme: [D] Day
2) Q posted a link to an article lampooning those who hoped General Flynn would be cleared of all charges in his hearing on December 18th.

The article takes aim at conspiracy theorists who follow Q and who believe Flynn is part of a secret operation.
nbcnews.com/tech/internet/…
3) As much as I hoped General Flynn would be cleared, God gave me dream the morning of the 17th showing confusion on social media about the hearing. I opted not to make a prediction about it.

Mark this date down.

Mueller is guilty of crimes regarding U1 and will face justice.

Mueller and his investigation has done exactly what it was designed to do.

1.) distract the DS
2.) distract the fake news
3.) take in evidence against the DS
The memo regarding Flynn providing significant assistance is the key.

Remember, Obama had a gag order on Flynn and by him taking the plea deal with SC, he was allowed to discuss anything. Anything, such as U1, CF, Clinton Russian Collusion, and of course Child Sex Trafficking.
Mueller is wrapping up just as Huber takes over.

Let's not forget Rudy has had meetings with Mueller since he's POTUS attorney.

Rudy allegedly has a copy of the Weiner laptop hard drive.

Flynn's testimony about CST then gets confirmed by Rudy's copy.

Today is the day I celebrate 11 years free from drug addiction. On November 1, 2007 I was in a seedy hotel room with a friend and her pimp ex husband. We had been partying since Halloween but ran out of dope and money.
As we sat there contemplating how we were going to feed our addiction, her ex tells her it’s time to do what she’s best at. I didn’t need him to spell it out for me, she had told me what he made her do while they were married. I was scared for her, she was scared for me.
She didn’t want him to force me to do anything, so she agreed to do what he wanted. I watched in horror as she went into another room with a man. While she was gone, he started to talk to me about how much money I could make. I told him I would rather die than do that.

"God, I want my future back." Those were the words I whispered to God two weeks ago, while I was going through the greatest health scare of my life. #Thread #Health #Life
In the midst of the tests and various medical consultations, it occurred to me that my life had stopped. My symptoms limited my movements and where I could go. So, I couldn't plan and I couldn't project forward.
Things like traveling or dating went out of the window. I was stuck on finding a solution to my health challenge. My tests are still ongoing. I'm still seeing doctors, but we think we now know what's wrong. And so, I am hopeful.
