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...

OK - I know I think some people's perception of the current state of play is twisted by their long term deep dislike of JC. They probably think the same in reverse of me and others. So let's set that to one side, if we can & see what we might agree on...

I presume (1/12)
everyone has read the original article: Corbyn: Brexit would go ahead even if Labour won snap election

Therefore I presume everyone went (2/12)

1) Frustrating that people like @Fox_Claire cannot move beyond simplistic thinking and recognise if something like the Ref question was not actually a binary choice it's *pointless* pretending it was.
#Brexit *is* more complicated than that, hence our current mess
@Fox_Claire 2) the actual choices presented to the people in the ref were:
a) a fantasy free #Brexit
b) a pointless but low cost soft Brexit
c) a meaningful but costly hard brexit

All polling indicates a large part of the 52% voted for a) because it was offered. But it doesn't exist
@Fox_Claire 3) so what do we do now?
We can probably assume people didn't vote for pointless Brexit such as we have with May's deal, but all polling indicates they certainly didn't vote in any numbers for a painful brexit & would react badly if it was delivered

The @BBC just misreported Jo Johnson’s call for a #PeoplesVote - by leaving out his call for a Remain option. pscp.tv/w/brW1qjFtTUVQ…
Here’s his statement below, quoted on the BBC’s own website:

1.This is a thread for my fellow Remainers in the #fbpe movement. There were some threads yesterday which have caused upset in our community and a shaking of people’s confidence. Well I awoke his morning with these thoughts on my mind and wanted to get them down on paper.
2. We have the privilege of having some excellent specialists in their fields fighting by our side, I thank each and every one of them. But it is by THEIR SIDE. They know the technocratic stuff and understand the legalities of treaties and trade deals.
3. But all of that on it’s own is not what will get us a peoples vote and our personal opinions, worldview and knowledge and experience should hold equal weight when considering our own positions.

They're having these stupid #FamiliesBelongTogether rallies across the country. It's so pathetic. The Democrats make up a lie, then the media passes it off as the truth, and then community organizers like Soros pay to have these rallies - and the Useful Idiots show up and protest
The useful idiots show up to the rally foaming at the mouth, they are then given pre-made signs, saying the same thing across the country, and they are told what to chant, like "This is what democracy looks like" and then they go home thinking they accomplished something
it's designed to make it appear that the nation, as a whole, is rising up against the President. This is why when you listen to the media and Democrats talk, they talk as if they speak for all of America. In truth, they are a fraction of the country and they are losing support

Someone labeled #QAnon a #conspiracytheory

It's not.

I can objectively show more than once what @realDonaldTrump was about to tweet before he did it and also show coordination between Q and the DOD, and Q and @JulianAssange.

Huge events are happening, it's time to awaken.
2) in addition, while it's still being uncovered, there are deeply coded messages within @realDonaldTrump tweets. The specific intentions behind all of this are many, but one vital one is to specifically prevent #conspiracytheories from being concocted.
3) Another reason disclosure is self evident, it's a public disclosure. It so happens that the disclosures are happening in a location where the user base is sufficiently #redpilled to accept the #truths -they are a bit tough to take for #normies
