View from Washington on the GFA and Brexit.

The Quitters forget how dear this is to the hearts of Americans and the calm, determined, patient and resilient part their George Mitchell made in helping it to fruition.

Madness.
For those who want to read a little more about his part.

It is easy to forget what deep tentacles and connections there are between Ireland and the USA.

So the motion signed by Brady et al will go down like a lead balloon. And the Americans ARE watching.

Another massive diplomatic faux pax and own goal on our part

I’d overlooked the significant of this re Banks & Wigmore
Date-Jan 2016

“insurers will need enough capital to have 99.5% confidence they could cope with the worst expected losses over a yr ft.com/content/51bc0c…
Is there a way of identifying Eldon & Go Skippy’s exposure on this?

Their capacity to prove sufficient capital resources given ( See next tweet) he was expressed “worry”/dislike about it during this video clip of the Leave EU campaign from his Insurance Offices.
Here is the clip.

Stone arrested re the Trump Wikki Leaks issue & witness tampering.
Assange and the location -Ecuadorian Embassy- in London in the frame

Stone, a colleague of Manafort also has met Farage.

Farage (also seem at the Ecuadorian Embassy) is a mate of Malloch cnbc.com/2019/01/25/us-…
Some more background linking Malloch to the Trump campaign and the leaks, suggested that Farage could be a useful “back door” for the campaign.

Farage wrote the afterword for one of Malloch’s books.

theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
3/. We know that Farage visited the Ecuadorian Embassy, because he was spotted coming out and we can be pretty sure that the Mueller Inquiry will have plenty of details of who visited the embassy and when.

Why isn’t LP telling its members this? In 54 Lab Leave areas

If it fails to support a PV just opposing May’s Brexit, its lead falls to 2%, losing 14 of the seats. If Labour does a u-turn & backs the deal, its lead falls to 4% and it loses 10 of the seats represent-us.uk
You have to be a pretty determinedly selfish Leader to oppose the pathway most likely to garner voter support even in Leave voting constituencies and entirely against Labour Members’ express wishes.

“I don’t care what YOU want” attitude. “I will do what I want”.
Vote loser
This is just bizarre. Given they were only polling in 54 out of 635 constituencies the polling sample size of 1500 is pretty large.

Then think of the LP Remain areas, if this is the result in Leave areas?

LP Members.
Why do YOU think Corbyn and Co are getting away with this?

1) Why Labour #Brexit Conference policy is flawed

Unfortunately Ben is wrong here, Corbyn is following the agreed policy here because that policy let's him do exactly what he wants on Brexit, not what the members want

The policy is a well crafted stitch up
2) there's 2 consistent themes from Corbyn supporters
a) this is the policy Labour conference overwhelmingly supported
b) Corbyn's following that policy to the letter
Both of these are true, but neither stand up to critical examination if we're being honest
3) in terms of the first "this is the policy conference supported" well, as a remainer its essentially the same as the non meaningful vote May tried to create
May's choice was her deal or no. Deal which, if true, is no deal at all
It was the same with Labour conference policy

This is the most important #Brexit story you'll read today
It's not the *amount* that Vote Leave illegally overspent by, it's the *timing*
20% of people made up their minds in the last few days, and it's that 20% Vote Leave targeted when they overspent

independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
800K voters were likely converted to Leave by the blitz of Facebook Ads in the final days, after Leave ran out of allowed budget. And we've seen some of the Ads that were released

This stinks, it just stinks

Why is no major party shouting about this?
We're pursuing a result
- that will make us worse off
- won by a tiny margin
- with illegal spending
- when the winners can't agree what #Brexit looks like
- and which the country has now turned against
And our major parties are saying "what can we do? Will of the people"

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

A little thread on MY personal Brexit "Dividend" 👇👇

I have been waiting patiently & with barely baited breath for someone.. anyone to provide a single benefit to me & mine of #Brexit..
The question has been asked of many MPs & talking heads on both sides of the debate…❓
1/
And…. Not a scrap, not a trace, not a single little whisper of how I, & people like me, will be “better off” due to UK leaving EU SM and CU.. 🤔

And I don’t just mean financially before anyone comes at me brandishing a hair shirt & self-flagellating.. 🔨🔨
2/
"Sovrinty"? It's just a word & will always be “relative”..…
Control of our own money, borders & laws?… we already had all that..👍
So, whilst I waited, I scraped my personal barrel and came up with a single little splinter of a #Brexit Bonanza …🤨

Drum Roll ..🥁🥁🥁

Random #Brexit thread by middle-aged, white, Northern, working-class guy...
1. Before #EURef I knew little about EU. Decades of negative UK media had made me a bit sceptical. But I was not really “political”.
2. Got a Polish partner. Been together 18 years. Long before #EURef she’d started getting snarky comments from folks about being “over here” & “going home” etc. This got steadily worse & was kinda shocking.

1. Worst national leadership in my lifetime forcing through the most damaging, misguided & missold policy I can remember. Ideology & vested self interest replace statesmanship, soundbites replace sound judgement & autocracy subverts democracy.
#Brexit harms us irreparably #FBPE
2. A flawed Leave campaign based on lies, deceit, disingenuity & over simplification & a #Remain one fought w/o any positivity from the Govt & no real commitment from Labour, whose leader was virtually AWOL, did no justice to #Brexit complexity & betrayed our democratic process.
3. A mere 37% of voters/26.5% of the Ppl voted leave in a legally Non-Binding test of public opinion which has been corrupted, on the basis of an illegitimate political promise & interpreted as being the irrefutable Will of the Ppl.
The 1st is insufficient to claim the latter!
