In addition, this presumably means that any EU national planning to exit the UK temporarily at any point on or after March 29 should apply to the settled status scheme pronto, further increasing the workload.
What are you supposed to do if you make a settled or pre-settled status application before March 29 but it's unsuccessful? If you then leave the UK at any point (e.g. for a wedding or funeral) you would presumably only be able to apply for the temporary visa on return?
Incidentally, can anyone explain to me why the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2016 are being repealed? Is there any technical reason that they could not continue to function post Brexit, deal or no deal?

With so much Brexit-related doom and gloom around, I thought it might be fun to change things up.

Let’s play a game.

It’s called “pick your crisis” and, I promise, it’ll be great fun.

THREAD.
In one corner we have the gallant Prime Minister.

Her supporters, the five-minutes-to-midnighters, are waving banners: “Run Down the Clock!”

They are waiting and waiting until the last possible moment to hold the "meaningful vote"
In the other corner we have a motley crew: Nick Boles, Yvette Cooper and Dominic Grieve.

They have a banner too, a rather long one: “Let Parliament take control, please, for a short period, for limited purposes”.

Their goal is to prevent the PM from running down the clock.

This doesn't make any sense, does it?

When would the EU decide whether to accept the request for an extension? Convene an emergency EUCO on March 28? Cuing market panic, stockpiling, etc?
Given that the UK can't ratify the Withdrawal Agreement until it has surmounted the meaningful vote hurdle *and* the implementing legislation has been passed, I can't see how the EU would go along with a late-March vote
The inevitable extension will have to be asked for before the EUCO on March 21-22.

(This would also allow some time for the inevitable court challenges to run their course before the March 29 cliff edge)

If it isn't, well, sell £££s, fill the tank and stock up on canned goods.

The funny thing is that, legally speaking, it is actually really easy for Parliament to legislate to prevent a No Deal Brexit

It could pass a law requiring the Prime Minister to revoke the Article 50 notification on March 28 if the Withdrawal Agreement hasn't been ratified

1/
@SpinningHugo has even produced a very short, very clear and very effective draft of what the legislation might look like

spinninghugo.wordpress.com/2019/01/18/cha…

2/
This would, to say the least, be politically controversial.

But it is perfectly feasible, as a matter of law.

It follows from the @andywightman @JolyonMaugham case on revoking Article 50 unilaterally.

The UK could certainly safely revoke if Parliament legislated for it

The British government's settled status scheme to register the UK's EU citizens is launching today. Here are a few stories on settled status & the worries of EU citizens from the past 2.5 years:
Settled status (also unfortunately called "SS") guarantees EU citizens' rights. But not *all* their rights. Groups like @the3million are worried about voting rights, high cost, right to return, among other things:
newstatesman.com/politics/brexi…
“They have all my details on file, why do I have to apply again? It should be easy for them to just convert my PR to settled status!”
Permanent residence is made void by "SS". Europeans who hold it must re-apply: newstatesman.com/politics/brexi…

Advice on #Settled Status for #EU27Citizens:
1/ If you have not done so yet, register with the HO email notification service - click link on this page gov.uk/settled-status…. #WATON #IamEuropean @yEUrRights
2/ The scheme seems to be OPEN NOW to EUCitizens that have been here for more than 5 years! We should mass apply - they want to test the system, so test we shall.
3/ I had no communication from the HO on this at all, unlike previous emails I received regarding Settled Status, so they seem to try and keep this low key. We need to document our experiences and copy in the relevant campaign groups as well as our EU representatives! 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺

You utter bastards
Like me, you may have been wondering about the happy EU millennials in this video who smilingly welcome the @ukhomeoffice's benign new immigration regime. They really get around these EU nationals. Here they are advertising a bank in Australia:
Here's an EU mother delighting her EU child with the knowledge that they'll only have to pay £32.50 for this junior EU national to stay in the UK. They looked so pleased, don't they? And here's them advertising a reading scheme in the United States.

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

This is gonna be long, but I think it's worth it. A well-regarded twitter poster, let’s call him Giorgio, has recently publish a thread stating among other things as follows. “The pathways to stopping or delaying Brexit are blocked.
But once the mandate is discharged, the pathways to UK rejoining, or being in a close association agreement with EU, within the single market and customs union, will be open, with no obstacles.”
This approach annoys me for two reasons, one because Giorgio seems to be attempting to cajole Remainers to put all activity on hold until we actually leave the #EU.
