This doesn't surprise me, a question without context, most people don't know what a deal or not will bring.

How about the percentage who would support no-deal if it meant major job losses in the car industry?
Project Fear? Well the car industry doesn't think so. And bear in mind that the UK car industry has competitors across the EU who will not be facing any new additional costs. autocar.co.uk/car-news/indus…
Those opposed to no-deal have to wake up to the fact they are currently losing the media battle. Again.
These two no-deal supporters are prepared to sacrifice one million jobs in the automotive sector for no-deal....

Facile.

No Deal doesn't make it all go away. We most likely get political paralysis and crisis with economic shock overlaid.
Before we forget, the PM's deal is widely criticised because we leave the EU without a clear sense of future (not just the backstop). The PM has taken two and a half years to not set this future direction, but MPs are supposed to sort it out in a week?
MPs face a tough choice on Brexit - delay the decision to next year with the PM's deal, accept an obviously sub-optimal deal of closeness without much say, no-deal and likely economic shock, referendum to request the public change their mind - I don't envy them tbh

Another defence of the PM's Brexit deal from @HenryNewman - who is certainly putting in the effort most of the PM's Cabinet colleagues are not to back the deal - but one paragraph should be at the heart of Brexit discussions
This paragraph attacks Norway plus on the grounds of being unsustainable as quasi EU members without a say - but I'd suggest it also applies to the PM's deal, Labour's plan, and is actually least accurate about the Norway option
In theory the PM's deal leaves the future relationship relatively open, but in practice it is a continuing close relationship with the EU, given the backstop and the general view that technology solutions are nowhere close to removing this.

In case you missed it from last night - Labour's Brexit plan (Customs Union plus a bit of Single Market) is a formal version of the Conservative Brexit deal (backstop of Customs Union, plus NI follows SM and UK voluntarily aligns)
The difference of course is that under the Conservative Plan there is an aspiration for something different / looser in the future - but unless border technology / process solutions develop we won't get there. Hence also EU still won't offer backstop end date
At best the EU will offer enhanced cooperation on developing the technology / process solution. Meanwhile the desire to end Freedom of Movement from both Labour and Conservative is decisive on our future relations - means no formal say EEA style.

I've gotten a few questions about the "split decision" narrative, and whether it should change if Ds pull out wins in FL-Sen and AZ-Sen (good chance in both!). This gets to one of my biggest pet peeves about elections analysis and sports analysis. 1/
(This is a pet peeve of @NateSilver538 as well). So I'll start with a sports story: The 2014-15 Kentucky Basketball team (sorry @mghancock). It roared undefeated through the regular season and was pronounced a juggernaut for the postseason. 2/
The thing was, if you looked underneath the hood, things didn't look as impressive. They beat Columbia by 10 points. They beat Ole Miss by 3 in overtime. TAMU by 6 in double overtime. Vanderbilt by 8. FL by 7. LSU by 2. GA by 8. 3/

Thread of Trump's call w Bob Woodward.

Trump about Woodward:

Trump lies to The Daily Caller: “He’s had a lot of credibility problems"

The Aug 14, 2018 between Trump & Woodward. Trump: "You know I'm very open to you. I think you’ve always been fair"
Sarah Sanders lied again for Trump. Says Woodward book is “nothing more than fabricated stories, many by former disgruntled employees.”

On 8/14/18, Woodward told Trump that he has 100s of hrs of tapes transcribed & that every fact has a 1st hand source
1st 2:20 of their conversation.

Trump: Hello, Bob.

...
BW: Real well. I'm turning on my tape recorder, w your permission.

Trump: Oh, that's okay. That's okay. I don't mind that at all.

BW: I'm sorry we missed the opportunity to talk for the book.

Trump: Well, I just spoke w Kellyanne & she asked me if I got a call. I never got a call. I never got a message. Who did you ask about speaking to me?

Trump: They don't tell me.

I'd like to thank the president for giving me the opportunity to go on a little rant reminding everyone that the US Postal Service is a fricking marvel, and people's complaints about it are largely bogus. Strap in... /1
They will come to your house, take a letter you wrote, transport it thousands of miles over land and air and water if necessary, and deliver it to the door of your recipient, in just a few days. /2
And how much do they charge for this amazing service? Fifty dollars? A hundred dollars? Nope. Forty-nine goddamn cents. /3

Heh heh, the Amazing Yuripridio, world-conquering hypnotist
But we must be careful on this. I have a PhD student at #ORBITA hq called Frances Wood. I met her first as a manager in a research unit a few years ago. She was the nicest, kindest person there, who would always make me tea when I visited anyone in the unit.
By and by, she wrote a PhD proposal with me. She was a trained nurse, as many of that unit's staff are. But when we submitted the grant, I discovered in her CV that she was also secretly a trained psychologist.
