What's that, you say? A list of all DExEU spending over £25,000 (over £27.5 million in total)? Sorted by date? In a tidy little spreadsheet so that you can play with the data?

Well, since you asked so nicely... Knock yourself out!
drive.google.com/file/d/1Tx2yq7…
Couple of quick takeaways:
- DExEU spent over £10,000,000 on legal advice (sourced internally from the Government legal department)
- Over £3,000,000 went to the MOD
(Ok, well, it's not actually sorted by date at the moment. But in less than 30 seconds, it could be. Just sort the first column!)

Esther McVey TODAY talked about the "implementation period" after a no deal Brexit on WTO terms.

Like somebody walking onto a football pitch in the 90th minute, picking up the ball, running down the field & scoring a touchdown. Staggering lack of understanding of fundamentals!
Stupidity so great, it gets you trending (alongside Liam Fox and his Brexit "isn't national suicide" comment.)
That really should be a clue to all politicians: when you pop in, have a little chat in the studio, and bang you're a Twitter trend, it's not because you're fascinating... It's because somewhere in your word salad was nonsense so ridiculous, the whole country is talking about it.

Ah, David Davis... even a broken calendar would be right more often. Here's what he said on 10 October 2016:-
"I think we can take it as read that what our European opposite numbers are saying today is not necessarily what they will be saying tomorrow."
theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=20…
In fact, the most remarkable thing about the whole Brexit process (and in hindsight the most predictable) is the unwavering steadiness of the EU's position. They came together as 27, advanced a common position (based solidly on EU law) and never wavered from it.
Here's another DD classic: "More generally, one of the things that I have discovered in the past few months is that in many areas—not just the City, and not just as regards cars—the balance of negotiating advantage is incredibly heavily stacked our way."

Could Theresa May's Brexit plan B be to do a Cameron: summon the press to Downing Street, quit, then stroll off into Number 10 whistling?

That would go a long way towards explaining why not a word of it has leaked, despite plentiful leaks on all other aspects of Brexit.
Has the added bonus from her POV of stiffing the Brexiters with Brexit at the point of absolutely zero wriggle room, where they have to step up and show competence.
Even that probably wouldn't put the hardcore Brexit headbangers off applying for the role.

Remember, history will remember you were Prime Minister forever, even if you only did the job for a few hours or days before running to the Queen in a panic to tender your own resignation.

Well, since you asked, @rough_mac, here's what we did for Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria.

Here's a thread about what *really* happened w/FEMA, the USCG, and the Trump administration after Hurricane Maria.
Just taking a minute away from volunteering with @CEDRdigital to help with disaster response during #HurricaneMichael to answer this bot's stupid question about what we have ever done to help any hurricane victims.

UCC had opportunity to comment on the #Data.Protection & Privacy Bill. The enactment of this law is long overdue. A comprehensive law on the collection & processing personal information gives effect to the right to Privacy envisaged under Article 27(2) of the Constitution
UCC welcome the protections offered by the Bill in terms of export of data, breach notification requirements, data subjects access rights, automated decision making, compensation and the right to be forgotten and provision for financial and penal sanctions for breach of the law.
Distinction between Data collectors & data controllers.
The Bill should however clarify & distinguish Data Collectors, from Data Processors & Data Controllers. Clause 2 is inconsistent with international good practice which provides for two broad categories of Data Controllers

#Total CEO Patrick Pouyanné: [#Trump's] announcement on #Iran clearly is pushing the price up. And I would not be surprised to see $100 per barrel in the coming months because, clearly, you will have some impacts. 
#Oil #IranDeal
csis.org/analysis/conve…
#Pouyanné: we know we are back to the situation we were before the 2016 agreement, and in the meantime #Iran has grown its exportation by 1 million barrel(s) per day. So this 1 million barrel(s) per day is in question today.
#IranDeal
#Total CEO Pouyanné: We have decided to look to that project in Iran because of the #JCPOA, which means end of secondary sanctions. As soon as the U.S. decide to put back in place the secondary sanctions, there is no possibility for us to be a major company, a global company.

Over time, I’m open to it. But right now, it’s a farfetched grandiose idea.

Bitcoin is largely the only real and/or practical application right now. Everything else is snakeoil to me. And I’ll explain.
The thing about asset ownership such as real estate for example is that it exists exclusively in the physical world and adheres to the physical world’s laws and security principles.

Let’s say you have a tokenized deed on some decentralized ledger, then what?
Who is going to honor this deed? Surely someone needs to provide the *physical security* framework to honor and reflect the tokenized deed, ie. the state.

If you are dependent on a centralized body for security, then it’s a pointless venture to “decentralize” record keeping.

1/ A few clips from Wednesday's #DExEU select committee. Some fascinating insights provided from Chris Bondy, Dr Lorand Bartels and William Swords. Full session here: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/6f… @SamuelMarcLowe @Lorand_Bartels
2/ 'I've heard many people say, well it's (negotiating an FTA with the EU) going to be easy because we are harmonised, well that's day one but what about day two? What about day ten?' Christophe Bondy or either on the EU bus (or sidecar, Norway) or not at all! #DExEU
3/ 'If the UK come in and say we want that benefit (audio etc), the MFN element investment & services chapter of CETA will kick back in and you have to give it (the benefit) to Canada.' Christophe Bondy. Same point @SamuelMarcLowe made on the @BBCWorldatOne last week *I think*.

So, the #DExEU #Brexit Impact Assessments have been published.
#Architecture is covered by Construction, Creative industries and Professional & Business Services.
Very light on detail, no analysis, no conclusions...
parliament.uk/business/commi…
Interesting that these documents are released just before Christmas when nobody is following the news in so much detail. They definitely don't live up to the hype of the immense level of detail that @DavidDavisMP previously implied.
unroll please
