Today I got genuine pleasure from putting on a new pair of good socks. This is how it begins, isn't it. The slow and inevitable approach of death.
Next it'll be the Archers, then that overwhelming feeling that change is bad because before change happened you were young.
Then the nursing home, slowly pissing yourself away with nothing to look forward to but a monthly visit from selfish dimwitted offspring.
Still. These socks are fucking lovely.

The only way to find a majority for anything is for Corbyn to get behind it. He has to pick a policy, or he will be the one responsible for no-deal politics.co.uk/blogs/2019/01/…
And spare me any disingenuous bullshit about how principled he's being by not talking to the prime minister without her ruling out no-deal. The way to rule out no-deal is to get behind an alternative.
This is confirmation Corbyn plans to maintain his holding pattern. A meaningless, hopelessly vague set of objectives. His only active decision is to do nothing.

Blair has explained to John Humphrys about a dozen times now what May did wrong in negotiations. Humphrys incapable of understanding, asking the same questions over and over again.
To still be spluttering about how no-deal increases British leverage after all this time takes some truly committed selective blindness
"It's not that I don't like the word threat, it's just not a great threat. You're threatening the other person that you're going to jump out the window."

God I can't wait until I never have to listen to Theresa May again.
I do so dearly wish she would go away forever.
You must be fucking kidding me

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

THE WATCHMAN

[...] "The watchman’s task has always been a thankless one.
"There are treacherous fifth column elements, who are really working for the #defeat of the #nation, at the hands of its enemies.
"These subversive elements readily gain and hold the #public’s ear, because they soothingly tell the people what they want to hear. Go back to sleep, no danger can come, and there is nothing you can do.

What's needed?
@davidbaldock & Allan Buckwell of @IEEP_eu:
1: Sufficient funding for environmental measures in Pillar 1
2: Specifics for New Delivery Model
3: Flexibility for Pillar 1 to 2 transfers
4. Fund ANCs under Pillar 1

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house
