Another ticking No Deal time bomb -Lords Grand committee supposed to take 4 hours to deal with 10 Brexit Statutory instruments - Got through just 3 on stem cells, embryology etc, all referred up to full House of Lords.

Hundreds more required to be passed to correct statute book
Some Govt sources suggesting there is a filibustering game going on here - Lords strenuously deny - todays committee included Lord Winston, Warner, Foulkes, Adonis etc, say it is scrutiny legislated for in Withdrawal Bill.

In any event, cant see how they get through all the SIs
Here’s the committee taking on the minister who was trying to get 10 SIs through today... parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/8a…
Again Lords rather interesting - they have started to weigh - quite literally - extraordinary 11 disparate subject 630 page 2.5 kilogram Statutory Instruments, introduced by Government under Withdrawal Act, incapable of being amended, designed to correct statute book:

Former Foreign Sec Boris Johnson tells the House of Commons in Meaningful Vote the public will conclude “there is a plot by the deep state to frustrate Brexit”.
Johnson Quote is here: “we can’t delay A50 because After 2.5 years of procrastination the public would accuse of deliberately setting out to frustrate their wishes because the public would conclude there is a deliberate plot to kill Brexit”
Re procedural debates Johnson says “Public will see this stuff as public school debating school debating society chicanery designed to get round their wishes” said Johnson later

PM tells Commons “whatever version of the future agreement you want from Norway to Canada, will require a withdrawal agreement”. Suggesting that both those rather different options still possible.
“Over the next 24 hours give this deal a second look.. when the history books are written people will ask ‘did we deliver on vote to leave?’ Or ‘did we deliver for the economy and security?’ Or ‘did we let the British people down?’,” PM concludes to MPs.
“A divided government has delivered a botched deal in vague outline” Corbyn says, if the deal is rejected tomorrow its clear “its time for a General Election and a new Government”

It’s here:
“As you know, we are not in a position to agree to anything that changes or is inconsistent with the Withdrawal Agreement...”
Repeats December Council conclusions reassured that those conclusions have “legal value”

1. There is a goliath dishonesty afoot among the leave camp that I want no part of. Everyone from Gisela Stuart through to Spiked Online, CrapX and John Redwood are pretending that anything that isn't no deal is not #Brexit. This is a sickening lie.
2. International relations are a rich tapestry of agreements ranging from exchange of letters through to mutual recognition agreements through to formal MoUs and FTAs. Nobody deals one default terms alone.
3. To that that end every nation on earth has binding obligations both with trading partners and international organisations on everything from fishing to space policy. Everything functions on integrated systems of rules.

1) 6 pointless, time wasting exercises the Tory & Labour parties want to put the country through before we can start work on #Brexit

There are only 2 options left, May’s deal or Remain. There’s no majority for no deal and no time or appetite for a new negotiation
#PeoplesVote
2) There is only 3 months left and the country is in a state of worry. Despite this, and despite the ticking clock the 2 major parties are insisting on self indulgent frippery and posturing before we can get to the real business of fixing #Brexit
3) Lets take the Tory party. Firstly, they’re about to engage in another Leadership contest. May will probably win this but even if she doesn’t it will consume weeks of time for no purpose because it won’t itself change anything in Brexit. The same issues will exist afterwards

1. This whole debacle is stupid. This is all on the Tory phobia of being a rule taker. This is the issue illiteracy that both sides suffer from. the fact is that unless you are a regulatory superpower you are a rule taker. The only question is how and from where?

#Brexit thread
2. Supposing Mrs May's proposal had been workable, we'd end up adopting rules verbatim from the EU implementing ECJ decisions directly. Tories squeal about this yet bizarrely that is exactly what Switzerland does and Brexiters have been telling us Switzerland is a viable model.
3. So for all the indignation they have shifted the goalposts, denying, of course, the need for regulatory harmonisation to facilitate NI trade. This is pure dishonesty at work. So what about the alternatives?

The stock statement in response to #Brexit petitions needs to be called out. "There must be no attempts to remain inside the EU, no attempts to rejoin it through the back door, & no 2nd Ref" is fundamentally UNCONSTITUTIONAL as it binds Parliament and the People too.

/1.
Parliamentary sovereignty means one Parlt cannot bind another. This invalidates the "cannot reverse #Brexit" subtext of the above statement, as we've had a general election since #Article50 was triggered, so technically this is a different Parlt not bound by the previous one. /2.
The idea the People cannot speak again is ludicrous. It'd take a MAJORITY to #ExitFromBrexit. How is that undemocratic?Given the false prospectus on which #Brexit was sold, the chicanery & cheating of #VoteLeave & Brexit impact, it's the DUTY of Govt to give us #FinalSay Ref. /3.

1. Worst national leadership in my lifetime forcing through the most damaging, misguided & missold policy I can remember. Ideology & vested self interest replace statesmanship, soundbites replace sound judgement & autocracy subverts democracy.
#Brexit harms us irreparably #FBPE
2. A flawed Leave campaign based on lies, deceit, disingenuity & over simplification & a #Remain one fought w/o any positivity from the Govt & no real commitment from Labour, whose leader was virtually AWOL, did no justice to #Brexit complexity & betrayed our democratic process.
3. A mere 37% of voters/26.5% of the Ppl voted leave in a legally Non-Binding test of public opinion which has been corrupted, on the basis of an illegitimate political promise & interpreted as being the irrefutable Will of the Ppl.
The 1st is insufficient to claim the latter!
