Thought: MPs may collaborate across party lines to take no deal off the table.

(I know we are in a no deal by default situation, but several hundred MPs all working together may find some arcane trick or procedure to block it anyway by forcing the Government and Theresa May to
take a particular action - in this case, to revoke Article 50 or to have a "revoke trigger" lying dormant but ready to be activated by a specified event, eg. if we pass 1 March without reaching any sort of deal through Parliamentary votes.
In that situation, with no deal gone from the primary route to Brexit, there may be a danger in pursuing a People's Vote too ardently, because that might reopen the door to no deal.

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."

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."

Theresa May: very good progress made since Salzburg, teams of negotiators working "very hard". We've solved most of the WA issues.
Asked directly if she would seek a one year transition, May says: "What we will be doing is looking at the issues relating to the backstop on NI, I believe it is possible by working together to find a resolution to that issue...
"and a resolution that ensures we are able to move forward with the full package, with the future partnership as well. Considerable progress has been made since Salzburg, by working instensively over the next weeks I believe we can achieve a deal"

#ICYMI: Iranian forces fired 20 rockets at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights last night. In response, Israeli military set out on an extensive retaliatory attack against Iranian targets, the largest Israeli attack in Syria since 1974
No casualties reported on the Israeli side. Several targets connected to the #IRGC & Hezbollah attacked by Israel. Syrian media claims dozens of Israeli missiles were intercepted. There are reports of casualties in Syria.
More bomb shelters opened in northern Israel
The rocket barrage from Syria was directed at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights, like the intelligence assessment that the Iranian response will be limited so it won't lead to war. It is the 1st time Israel blames Iran directly for an attack on its territory

Know how Social Security and Medicare are referred to as the “third rail” – because cutting them is understood to be political suicide?

Well, it turns out it’s not just Social Security & Medicare.

Follow along for details on a new poll the GOP should pay close attention to. 1/x
Trump and Congressional Republicans learned the hard way last year how immensely popular Medicaid is, when in many ways it saved the ACA.

New polling shows a whopping **80% of Americans** oppose cutting Medicaid.

2/x
And it’s not just Medicaid folks don’t want to see cut.

Americans overwhelmingly—and across party lines—oppose President Trump and Speaker Ryan’s proposals to slash nutrition assistance, affordable housing, disability benefits, energy assistance, and more.

I've been part of the Twitter resistance for a year now. I'm going to share some thoughts about why & how I resist.

Some people may not like some things I say here. I’m sorry for that, but they need to be said. 1 #WhyIResist #HowIResist #RebelScum #TheResistance
Some things in the first year were fun: meeting like-minded people, the #scifi characters, learning how to take effective action. Celebrating #victories like beating the #ACA repeal bills.

A lot of it wasn't fun - the threats of nuclear war, the daily stress of bad news. 2
Follow parties were fun, and a good way to promote a message and raise awareness, connect with other resistors and grow our followings. They had themes and served a purpose and there was about about one a month.  3 #PartyWithAPurpose #trending #amplify #effective
