Imagine that this letter had been published in response to one of the party's policies at any other point in our lifetime. It would have been the end of them.
What exactly is the no-deal Brexiters' response? That the chief execs of Asda, M&S and McDonald's are in a conspiracy against the referendum? That they are inventing lies about storage space and just-in-time production to undermine the will of the people?
Is it too optimistic to think that we might just take stock, for one moment, look at what is happening and accept that this is an insane way to behave.
We're turning ourselves into a fucking national basketcase.

Right. Amendment-apocalypse has begun.
Bercow selects amendments from Corbyn, Blackford, Grieve, Cooper, Reeves, Spelman and Bradey.
It's on.

Full analysis of the Malthouse Compromise politics.co.uk/blogs/2019/01/…
It is as pitiful a proposal as I've seen for some time. It's the same old max-fac bullshit, with some deeply idiotic Art 24 GATT spaff-off, mixed into a horrific pile of contradictory sludge.
They're not intending to lengthen transition. They're shortening it. That is not an alternate backstop. It's a future trade agreement based on technology which does not exist.

So May is now whipping her MPs to undermine her own deal. And looks set to lose anyway.
And the Labour leadership looks set to deny support to an amendment which does exactly what it demanded the prime minister do last week.
This is a historic period of failure for politicians. I've never seen such a shower in my fucking life.

Imagine that the European Parliament passed a motion saying that the Brexit deal was not acceptable to them because the UK was denying freedom of movement after the transition period, do you think that would be helpful to talks?
Do you rather think that in the UK the PM would be indignant that the EU were not listening to our firmest red lines, and that on this basis there was no hope of reaching a deal?
Different if the European Parliament passed a resolution saying it should be £49 billion not £39 billion. Both sides have already said they would negotiate on that, so it just shows the EU really care and give them a little extra impetus. No red lines breached.

Dear friends, I must draw your attention to a trend here. It is as if all #brexiters have been told to lie blatantly. Raab' claims that being in a weaker position strengthens our bargaining power is pure #altright cognitive dissonance. It is a deliberate confusion tactic 1/
This is one of the hallmarks of the Leave Campaign and other campaigns where the #altright hate machine has been involved. It is using lying as a weapon designed to further obscure the truth and make people give up on trying... silence opposition based on truth /2
It is also a key part of stirring up hate. It is societal antagonism/terrorism. It is designed to enrage and encourage hate, anger and violence. It is designed to, for example, encourage verbal attacks against #leavers to use as proof of hate against them... 3/

41) 1,244 of the emails reference NUCLEAR ENERGY. The full collection includes emails to/from Hillary Clinton.

April '15 NYT published story about a company called “#UraniumOne” which was sold to Russian government-controlled interests, giving Russia effective control
42) of one-fifth of ALL uranium production capacity in the United States.

Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, w/implications for production of nuclear weapons, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of US govt agencies.
