PM to make Downing Street statement at 10pm tonight... wasn’t expecting that. Watch it live on @skynews
Massive Maine Road style floodlights... but also PM crest on the podium. Not an election.
Here Trade Secretary Liam Fox doesn’t rule out PM discussing customs union when I ask him if it was on table in cross party talks “the PM will explore them but the other party leaders have to understand what the consequences will be... she’ll listen”
And here, it being Wednesday, I obviously bring up the fact that Turkey, in a customs union with the EU has done independent trade deals with Georgia and Moldova with Cabinet minister and key PM ally @JBrokenshire

“V difficult to support it without the actual text being opened up that’s right...”: Rees Mogg response to idea of supporting a change to backstop short of a change to legal text, and one confined to political decalaration? “No that wouldn’t be any good at all...no no nonstarter”
..was after leaving his Cabinet Office meeting just before lunch.. sounded lukewarm on Brady:“The Graham Brady amendment is being considered seriously by serious people and that is a serious matter..We’ll have to see what the speaker calls what it achieves and where it leads us”
Another former Cabinet Minister Brexiter told me that Brady amendment was “too vague” and would wait to see what PM said...

Government Brexit animation joyfully explaining via tickboxes that businesses “like yours” are preparing for No Deal in 9 weeks time:

✅ Customs Declarations
✅ Safety & security declarations
✅ Documents at the border
✅ Product licenses
✅ Temporary import processes
“To keep your supply chain running smoothly.. talk to your suppliers and customers”...

For reference - Irish Government was funding business supply chain changes with loans just under a year ago.
Actually interesting that it doesn’t mention that these tickboxes only apply to a No Deal situation.... but they only apply in a No Deal situation. They won’t be required if there’s a deal or if A50 extended.

Airbus chief exec attacks Brexit “disgrace” - no Deal will divert investment and make no mistake other countries want to build wings for aircraft. “Airbus not dependent on UK”...

It did warn about this months ago.
In Whitehall, expecting cascade of these types of announcements hearing now of active moves in EU capitals to cultivate various multinationals to activate No Deal relocation plans for HQs/ manufacturing from UK for those that need to maintain EU single market privileges
“Please don’t listen to Brexiters madness ...they’re wrong”.
“UK aerospace at precipice, No Deal Brexit & we at Airbus will have to make potentially v harmful decisions for UK”
“Ironic that in mid 1990s (ie under Tory Govt) UK architects of European aerospace integration”. Punchy

THREAD: What does Michael Cohen's sentencing submission tell us about his cooperation against Trump and the potential involvement of others in his criminal conduct? (Short answer: A lot more than you might expect)
1/ Late on Friday night, Michael Cohen's attorneys filed his sentencing submission. It is really worth a read: documentcloud.org/documents/5348…
2/ A sentencing memorandum is a document that defense attorneys write and submit to a court before a client is sentenced so that the judge can consider all of the facts and circumstances surrounding their client and his conduct when he is sentenced.

#Maine SoS Dunlap accuses Kobach of "troubling bias" & calls his claim that there's huge numbers of fraudulent voters "bizarre". Yet Dunlap is the ONLY Demo SoS to join Kobach’s bizarre & biased Crosscheck—which threatens to purge 1,062,818 Maine voters! washingtonpost.com/news/politics/…
Dupe? Dullard? Or Duplicitous? Dunlap, are you just another duplicitous politician singing different tunes to different audiences? I intend to find out: I’m suing your a** in 40 days unless you cough up the names of the thousands of voters you've purged on #Kobach’s say-so.
