So far today...
Michael Gove: Meaningful Vote is going ahead
Lobby briefing: Meaningful Vote is going ahead
Downing Street spokesperson: Meaningful Vote is going ahead

Looks like the Meaningful Vote may be about to be cancelled.
Ooh. There's to be an oral statement from the PM at 15:30. Various leaks are suggesting the vote *has* been pulled, but nothing official yet so presumably that's what the statement is for: to present whatever absurd fantasist excuse TM has made for ducking the showdown with MPs.
It's definitely off, for now.

Next, we need various Government spokespeople to traipse out and all claim in quick succession there'll be no second referendum, and we'll be good to go!

"Operation Figleaf 2: Electric Boogaloo" takes place on the roads of Kent this morning.

The farce, involving 79 lorries, is meant to simulate no deal Brexit congestion of 10,000.

Because a gathering of friends behaves like a stadiumful of people, right?
theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
The punchline? "The challenge facing the government and Kent county council was evident at dawn as an argument broke out between marshals about where the trucks were supposed to go."

*79* trucks, and they still managed to fluff it.

Give. Me. Strength.
Here's how things panned out, blow by blow (in the "being punched by a boxer" sense)...

Today, and all this week, you're going to hear a lot of talk about the Government's incredibly amazing 10-year Long Term Plan for the NHS...

... but not a peep about how Brexit will come along and rip its guts out on 29 March, like a lion taking down a gazelle.

#NHSLongTermPlan
If you're in any doubt as to Brexit's ripping power, take a look at this...
And a lot of the money is going to be snatched back very, very directly...

Just a quick hello and a wave to the 1,000 new people who've followed me over the last 48 hours.🤗

Here are a few threads you may not have seen yet, starting with 140+ actual consequences of Brexit...

I propose a game of #GoveBingo - phrases we expect to see in his nasty slimy speech announcing his leadership bid
“With a heavy heart I must conclude that....”
I guessing it’s a very long shot that #Gove might self-quote:
“The day after we vote to leave, we hold all the cards and we can choose the path we want.' Michael Gove, April 2016”

Oh is it time for #Marr? A short thread. Remember this? I was asked on #Marr to talk about "my story". In fact it was @shahmiruk's story. But I wasn't asked a single question about what he had revealed. About Vote Leave overspending
1/
No @BBC bulletin covered @shahmiruk's story. His hugely significant revelations went unreported. Instead a leak from Number 10 co-ordinated with Vote Leave & Tax Payers Alliance shaped the news agenda. This wasn't electoral fraud. It was a 'Toxic Sex Row'
2/
But it didn't end there. 2 weeks before Electoral Commission reported Vote Leave broke multiple laws @matthew_elliott leaked it to @BBC. He used BBC to smear @shahmirUK & call a fantasist & a liar. Elliott got to frame the story. The BBC was played

Thread... @theresa_may TM the PM June 30 2016 "There should be no general election until 2020"
2/ September 4 2016

3/ October 1 2016
"Theresa May has ruled out the possibility of a general election before 2020 due to the risk of "instability" posed by a snap vote."
