It a pity @Newsnight chose not to post Jones's extraordinary claim of having campaigned for Brexit on a "we will be economically worse off" ticket.

Well done to @Femi_Sorry for exposing this charlatan for what he is. Despite being talked over and down to.....
Dear @Newsnight c/o @BBCNews, @BBCPolitics, @BBC,

Here's that fact check you never asked for...... @Digbylj | @maitlis | @Femi_Sorry #newsnight

Dear @Newsnight c/o @BBCNews, @BBCPolitics, @BBC,

Just to be 100% certain, here's another...... @Digbylj | @maitlis | @Femi_Sorry #newsnight

The undemocratic parliamentary shenanigans engaged in by this Tory government would make a Tudor or a Stuart blush. They've suspended the rules on committees so even though it doesn’t have a majority in the house it does have a majority on every committee.

@LenMcCluskey - perpetuating the myth that Brexit is a result of a democratic decision when the world knows the truth - that this referendum result was procured by Leave's illegal activities - only serves to support the Tories policy of ignoring the facts to cover up their crime.
And @LenMcCluskey just to reinforce that the world's aware that the Tories are turning us into a banana republic by taking away our rights, jeopardising our economy and threatening millions of jobs on the back of a fraudulent referendum result, listen to Professor @Robert_Patman
@LenMcCluskey Brexit is of the right, by the right and for the right.....we're better than this Lenny.

Über landlord Tim Martin, whose business model relies on cheap imported alcohol, should pretend to be patriotic and switch to UK suppliers to protect his profits from B-Day tariff & devaluation driven price increases that would be difficult to pass on to disgruntled customers.😉
Oh he has done it....even made out he's 'sticking to a promise to sell more UK and non-EU brands as Britain prepares to break away in March.' Bet his customers fell for it!!

Another thing he could do is visit all his pubs to sell this 'no deal preparation' as a pro-brexit act....oh hang on.

9/17: Manafort working on "Kurdish referendum"

"...the Kurdish referendum, scheduled for Monday, would not immediately trigger independence, the American gov't and the international community have expressed serious concerns about it. "
"They fear that, if it passes overwhelmingly, as expected, it could further destabilize Iraq, damage the coalition fighting the Islamic State, and potentially spark violence in disputed areas."
"...the State Department urged Kurdish leaders “to accept the alternative, which is a serious and sustained dialogue with the central government, facilitated by the United States and United Nations, and other partners.”

Brexit is the backstop; the backstop is #Brexit.

After 3 days in Belfast, talking to all sides, here's what I've learned - on the business and the politics of this deal. And its viability.

1/Thread
First the business/technical aspects of how a backstop would work.

I talked to business lobby groups, Stephen Kelly from @ManufacturingNI fresh back from talks with Barnier. And bosses of big companies.

The are surprisingly sanguine. /2

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
@ManufacturingNI If the backstop emerges as the British want (and that is still an 'if') it would look as follows:

- all-UK in a temporary customs Union
- Northern Ireland only in Single Market for goods, via devolution
- no checks GB-NI
- 'de-dramatised checks on regs NI-GB

Jeremy Corbyn is a lifelong brexist he has voted with the tory Europhobe right more times than any other Labour MP #Brexit might be said to be his most consistent belief
Corbyn's own brother said he would have campaigned to leave if he wasn't labour leader #brexit
Old friends and political allies are all of the same opinion Jeremy corbyn would have campaigned for #Brexit had he not been Labour leader

1/ Why is @UKLabour not opposing #Brexit when Tory Brexit is in tatters & 72% of the Labour supporters do oppose Brexit ? This is a very intriguing question & it feels counterintuitive, especially since most Labour MPs oppose Brexit too. But is it?
2/ Despite Labour party & and supporters opposing #Brexit, supporting it is the surest way to to winning the next general election. And this has nothing to do with wanting to attract Leave voters at all - nothing at all.
3/ There is only one Brexit scenario that will keep the @Conservatives in power: A hard #Brexit that at the same time is a success. And we know how likely that is. All other scenarios will almost automatically lead to a @UKLabour Govt.

I feel like driving up some controversy, so how about a thread of Hot Takes/Unpopular Opinions! You know the drill, one like = one take/opinion.

Start easy: the blunt awkwardness/cringe of 'Blurryface' is the point of taking the piss out of Tyler. I stand by my light 9/10.
2. I don't hate Nickelback's 'Dark Horse' - it's easily a record for them at their most tasteless, but the frat-bro swagger of it helps some of their better hooks.
3. 'Fireflies' by Owl City is a genuinely terrific song that captures precocious, starry-eyed wonderment better than few others in the 2000s.

It is SPECTACULARLY lame, but that's why it works.

1/ Thread: Here are my 12 thoughts on #Brexit. We are at half-time in Art50 process. Departure UK from EU now exactly 12m away. Right moment to take stock and list a few backward- and forward-looking thoughts. (You can also read the full blog-post here: delorsinstitut.de/en/all-publica…)
#1: When the UK voted leave, many said the EU would be weakened. Today it is clear that the contrary is true: it’s the UK not the EU that has been weakened by Brexit.
#2a Whatever people say, it would have been possible for Britain to change its mind about Brexit. Many political decisions, even after referenda, have been reversed in many countries.
