Government is trying to foist the blame for any Brexit chaos in the adult social care sector off on local authorities and directors of adult social care facilities. This from the letter sent to them on 21 December last year... (Full letter at link below.)
gov.uk/government/pub…
More from the letter:
" Many of these issues will have either a direct or indirect impact on councils and it is also possible that they will have a financial consequence for providers."
More from the letter (doubling down on the "legal" bit):
"I encourage you to work closely with your adult social care providers, in line with your legal market shaping duties, to assure yourself that any impact on providers can be managed locally."

Ahead of (potentially) the ONLY #PMQs remaining before the Meaningful Vote on Brexit, it's worth reminding ourselves of where things stand...

Brexit's already costing jobs and investments.
Trading on WTO terms does. Not. Work. Not the way Brexiters describe it, anyway... The key point missing is *alone*: trading on WTO terms alone is a disaster waiting to happen.
There's no transition period in a no deal situation. It's over the cliff, out of the EU, on 29 March 2019 at 11pm. Many MPs seem to find this confusing...

All the juicy Chris Heaton-Harris MP goodness, in one place...

"Do you agree that leaving the EU without a deal increases the likelihood of support for a referendum in Northern Ireland?"
Chris Heaton-Harris: "No"
"Why not?"
CHH: "I just don't. It's a personal belief."
"A personal belief? So, in your role as Minister responsible for the risks associated with no deal, you haven't conducted any deeper research into what most people would think is quite an important issue: the future of our Union?"
"The future of our Union is strong."
A couple of brief exchanges later (basically restating the same question to try and forcing a straight answer). "So, no work has been done on assessing that risk?"
CHH: "I can confirm that I have not commissioned, nor have I seen, any work on that basis."

After 2.5 years of wanting to stop #brexit I have in theast half hour converted to the leftwing case for #Brexit as the best way to achieve a socialist future and set out my reasons in this thread #leavernow #lexiternow
It is clear to me that the EU is a corporate playground and neoliberal cabal one only needs 2 compare US and EU standards of animal welfare & food safety 2 see how true this is chlorinated chicken is the food of the Lexitariat #leavernow #lexiternow #Brexit #JC4PM2019
I believe that the evil EU has stopped the fraternalist tory party from implementing the Scandinavian social model as practised in Sweden Finland and Denmark and believe that they will pursue the doctrine of socialism in one percentile #Brexit #lexit #JC4PM2019

So, it’s been a hellish week. The family business was started by my grandad after the war. Most employees have been with us for a long time.

I did not want to run it, was happy enough in the City, but when my uncle retired someone had to.

We did OK for 9 years
but when Brexit hit, the orders from EU withered. I spent most of my year in Near and Far East Asia trying to find new customers. The costs of distribution, compliance & corrruption are very high, & you cannot trust that a Chinese or Indian customer will actually honour a
contract. My high price law firm said of China “It’s only when you sign a contract in China that the negotiation begins”. Multinationals have the muscle & product clout to prevail in these markets. For SMEs they are a death sentence. I shipped £140k of product to Shenzhen in

1/ If you don’t follow Brexit every day, here’s some advice. Let go of any illusions that this drama is about trade protocols, residency rights or the status of the Irish border. Brexit is the story of a proud former imperial power undergoing a mid-life crisis
2/ The rest of the world is left listening to Britain’s therapy session as they drone on about their ex-spouse, unable to see, admit or address their own flaws.
3/ The promise of Brexit was that it would make Britain feel big again. “Britain is special,” the Brexiteers assured British voters, who cast their ballots accordingly. But Brexit has proven that for the first time in modern history, Britain is small.

It seems @YouTube removed the footage of the Q & A statement on the visit to the UK, by @Alston_UNSR, UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty & human rights. @theresa_may & @AmberRuddHR both dismiss it - judge for yourself. Here it is in document form: ohchr.org/Documents/Issu…
I am going to use this thread to share some of the data that is referenced from this report. Because it matters and isn't shared enough.
A new measure of poverty for the UK: The final report of the Social Metrics Commission. September 2018. Full report - socialmetricscommission.org.uk/MEASURING-POVE…
Via @jrf_uk Destitution in the UK (June) 2018. Full Report: jrf.org.uk/report/destitu…

"1,550,000 people, including 365,000 children, were destitute in the UK during 2017. They could not afford to buy the bare essentials we all need to eat, stay warm, dry, & clean."

1. So if reports are correct it looks like Mrs May is going to go with a customs union as her next move along with those rules necessary to keep the trucks rolling. No doubt this is going to upset the #Brexit Taliban. (thread)
2. As ever she's got it ass backwards where the the differences then between NI and mainland will be more profound than if we'd stayed in the EEA and ditched the customs union. This is what happens when you equate customs controls with customs unions.
3. So the plan, if we can call it a plan is a Turkey Plus sort of arrangement - or maybe the Jersey Option. Whatever ti is, it certainly is turkey - but it's bordering on workable which is closer than we've been before. It will probably fall over on the details.

BREAKING: Dover Brexit Impact Document obtained by @SkyNewsPolitics shows plans for Lorry Park on the M20 for “many years”
Dover clearly EXTREMELY nervous about traffic mitigation measures not working “there does not appear to be a Plan B”
THREAD: The report is pretty excoriating about central government and the lack of clarity on Brexit “We are unaware how the government will be allocating funding”
