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”

Sky News obtains Border Force contingency presentation slide assuming a No Deal Brexit fall in cross Channel freight traffic of 75% to 87% for next 3-6 months as a “reasonable worst case”
2/ these figures in a secret document dating from late November, were not in the official No Deal public guidance, but are believed to have been discussed in Cabinet last month...
3/ “The French will apply at least the legal minimum of third country customs controls on all goods and sanitay and phytosanitary (SPS) checks on specified food and agricultural products. This includes the imposition of 100% customs documents checks”.

PM now making statement mandated by one of the many losses to a Dominic Grieve mandate...
Starts describing the meetings cross party says she regrets Corbyn refusing to meet.
“When people say rule out No Deal, what they are saying is that is we in Parliament cannot agree a deal we should revoke Article 50,” cant accept that says PM.

Accepting a second referendum will damage the union, damage social cohesion etc she tells Commons.
“I have never even considered reopening the Belfast Agreement” says the PM

Number 10 say that:

- next Tuesday’s vote on today’s motion will not be legally binding but will express will of House “this isn’t the meaningful vote or a substitute for the meaningful vote”
- if you ask me if it’s legally binding then the answer is No
Number 10 say a separate process for meaningful vote that the PM is pursuing in talks with MPs and then, essentially the Grieve process could be used to help build argument for new talks with EU which would then lead to a second meaningful vote.

My take - mid Feb. No recess.
Also “we will bring forward the meaningful vote when we believe we are in a position to get the support of Parliament”...

do not seem to be any plans to bring MV back this month.

I have no idea how they expect to get the actual Withdrawal Agreement Bill through before 29.3.

1/ GRAVE problems at @generalelectric and @ClintonFdn are two sides of the same coin:ACCOUNTING FRAUD--GE's were tougher to spot and will be tougher to convict, but EPIC CLINTON (and OBAMA) charity frauds are WAY EASIER TO PROSECUTE @csthetruth
marketwatch.com/story/ges-stoc…
2/ According to IG Horowitz report, @FBI opened investigations into @ClintonFdn FRAUDS (and public corruption) in January 2016. IRS opened a companion inquiry in July 2016. Easy to understand why little progress happened through 20 January 2017. Under @realDonaldTrump what gives?
3/ Starting under Wendt, @generalelectric ballooned into finance taking scary risks and failing to explain true financial results transparently. Starting in 2001, @BillClinton did the same thing with @ClintonFdn . One common thread is HORRIFIC ACCOUNTING AND DIRECTOR OVERSIGHT

#Canada Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen:

“very proud of White Helmet resettlement effort. It was a tough mission, it was a tough ask, but we delivered because we felt that White Helmets had done an exceptional service for humanity and we needed to be there to help them” =>
#Canada Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen:

“White Helmets not only helped rescue people who were caught in the conflict, they also collected evidence of war crimes, and that is why they were threatened directly by the Assad regime “
#Canada Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen:

“Details of exactly how many people are being brought to Canada and where they are being settled are not being shared for security reasons. Those who have arrived so far are quietly making new lives in Canada”

Yes, that time of the week again, the Brexit Probability Tracker, still unscientific, still struggling to keep on top of all of the different options, still wondering quite how many have been official Labour Party policy during the week...
So this week hope for referendum campaigners, as Labour's convolutions point to the possibility they could support another vote, similarly for a Customs Union solution (grouped with Chequers - as a goods only solution). This week's loser - Canada +, rejected by the PM
Here's the trend, apologies there has been a glitch in the data on the time series in recent weeks, but now corrected, here is the trend - blind Brexit has always been favourite, others come and go

Some thoughts on Charter Change. The first is that amending constitutions should be a natural, expected, tool for fine-tuning the operating manual of the state. One big problem of the present constitution is that amending it is practically impossible.
This means that any attempt to amend it becomes a tension-filled and mistrust-provoking exercise. Increasingly elaborate schemes get hatched and become self-sabotaging which makes the next round poisoned from the start.
This is because the only really acceptable method as far as the public is concerned, an elected convention, is the least attractive to those most interested in proposing amendments. Conventions are time-consuming and worse, for practical politicians, unpredictable.

i'm gonna try and get as much of this out as i can while at work. this is a patented julie long ranty heap of broken images thread.
let's get some stuff out of the way.

1) i'm white.
2) i'm a woman.
3) i'm trans.

i am born with certain inherent privileges that come from existing in a system that has been built to benefit white people.
i am trans, and i face a lot of discrimination because of that, but i am still white. and trans women of colour face much greater discrimination and violence than i do.

i have privilege.
