NEW: PM now returning to meet Juncker on Saturday
Which rather suggests that despite “very good meeting” work needs to continue - so there are “further issues that need resolution” and the future framework text won’t be ready 48 hours ahead of summit as originally envisaged
PM says the meeting on Saturday with Juncker is to help “conclude this process” she did not mention the summit on Sunday.
NEW: EU27 Source: Saturday meeting between Juncker and May to be confirmed only tomorrow
EU27 source: Germany will attend EUCO as long as texts on future relationship agreed a priori
Ie - explains why Saturday meeting sought - for sign off so that Germany can attend
Key points are Gibraltar, goods and fisheries.
Brussels source seems to confirm this - not confirming Saturday Juncker-May meeting or at least not just yet ...“We take it day by day”. Pointing out time required with EU27 as well.

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...

Abe and I had an interesting day. We did something new.
When G & I both had day jobs, it was a lot harder to keep this place up.
In the modern economy, there are no jobs in rural America that pay a living wage except Rich Farmer, and there aren't many openings for that.
First you have to inherit a fortune in land.
And for many of those years we lived on two different farms, each caring for our own and helping on the other. Less concentration on one place.
Working in Kansas City, from here, is 2 ½ to 3 hours a day commute.
In 5 years you spend one full year looking out the windshield.

"Steve and I different over how there following facts should be interpreted." Everyone in the room can't wait for the presentations to end so that we can hear Steve Ruggles and John Abowd discuss the key issues directly. Great #ASSA2019 session chaired by @bencasselman.
With that last bullet point from Steve Ruggles's slide, things are getting real.
Ruggles says Census Bureau swapping has been extremely effective: no documented instance of anyone being identified in the public data.

Starmer: "It's no longer for the govt to judge. It is for parliament, which is a higher authority."
Near silence in Chamber while Starmer is speaking.

Good morning, Twitter Family!

Happy July 1st! When I started to tweet this, I was going to say, "Its like the Wednesday of the Year." And go into a story of how I prayed for a message from God but didnt get one.

That was 40 minutes ago because I definitely got a message. Lol
July is going to be something else for me. I've been getting blessed with major realizations since my phone died on Father's Day and I cut my hair off in bit of a manic fit (more on that later).

So...

I have decided to go ahead & be obedient to Spirit & share today's message.
I don't have a message title but I feel like if I did, it would be "And God saw that it was (very) good."

Sidenote: I know Beyoncé says "thank you" in this gif; I used it because she looks so pleased while nodding. 😊

For every like this gets, I'll write one grenade bark.

I am sure I'll never regret this.
(For reference! A grenade bark is when a character in a game yells out something to alert you to a grenade.)
1: Grenade!
