⁦@jonlis1⁩ trenchant reminder of the absolute impossibility of passing in less than 8 weeks the absolutely critical legislations and statutory instruments necessary for an operating legal framework post Brexit. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
2/ 31 sitting days to exit.

Trade Bill
Agriculture Bill
Fisheries Bill
Healthcare Bill
Immigration Bill
Financial services Bill
Withdrawal Agreement
Implementation Bill
& 403 Statutory Instruments

What could possibly go wrong?
As far as I can tell no discernible progress has been made since before the Xmas recess.

Link to Hansard Dashboard here.

Only 61 /c700 SIs had actually completed their passage.

Summary of different polls on voting intention. Excluding the one that’s over a month old (in italics) most put the Tories and Labour neck and neck, maybe 1 % between them.
Kantar puts LP 3% ahead, but Opinium and YouGov put Conservatives ahead by 7% and 5% respectively.
However we should keep an eye on Pantheon Economics and the Consumer Confidence Index as that has been a reliable indicator of Government change. (Toombs called it right for both the GE 2015 and 2017).

Whennth CCI is -10 expect a change of Gov.
Can’t see anything but a hung Parl
A GE seems a grossly irresponsible thing to hold and completely highlights the gross hypocrisy of both Cons and Labour FB who say people cannot change their minds on a ref that would, by then, be 3 years old, yet can have 3 general election in a 4 year period, that settle nothing

1/ Corbyn, a fan of democracy when it suits him, especially in opposition, has become a dictator now he has some power.

Thanks @TimesCorbyn for this Hansard excerpt. MPs should represent the interests of their constituency.

HC Deb 14 May 1990 vol 172 cc599-602.
2/ Corbyn-2015
“One firm commitment I make to people who join our Labour Party is that you have a real say, the final say in deciding on the policies of our party... No-one – not me as Leader, not the Shadow Cabinet, not the Parliamentary Labour Party – is going to impose policy"
3/ Corbyn 2016 onwards.

“Do as I say”.

June 24 2016 . Says A50 Notice must be given now. Didn’t consult with MPs, members or LP voters as to their desired position

Whipped MPs again and again to votes on Brexit that had no detailed planning, agreement on model.

REDONE Thread:

Controversial Facial Mapping software being trialled by Met police. Campaign group seems to be from
55 Tufton Street AGAIN.
Matthew Elliot (100% shareholder AGAIN).
Mark Littlewood from opaquely funded IEA AGAIN that boasted of its influence over Govt Ministers
Great scoop from @mrjamesob revealing the background to the campaign group protesting at its use.

All the original company information remains unchanged.

Thanks to @mccanntb for pointing out the error.

Brexit already doing massive harm to the UK. Over 200 examples of job losses, lost investment, police & army prepping, companies moving assets to the EU or redomiciling. Meanwhile, the Government burns through £billions chasing a nutty no deal Brexit. Real life, not project fear!
The Government has spent £4.2 billion pounds on Brexit preparations (£2.2 billion in previous Budgets, plus an additional £2 billion in the most recent Budget.) 1/205
gov.uk/government/new…
EU citizens will be obliged to register to stay in the UK after Brexit (deadline is June 2021). The registration system, which cost the Government £175 million, will have to cope with over 3,500,000 applications, or several thousand a day on average. 2/205

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

Meanwhile, JOINT MILITARY EXERCISES with our allies in South Korea were "too expensive."

They act as a deterrent to North Korea, China and Russia, and are essential to ensure preparedness with our allies should Kim Jong Un launch an attack.

They would cost $14M...
#REMINDER: The Trump Administration's position on the suspension of joint military exercises with South Korea was CONDITIONAL.

The annual August exercises were suspended...AS LONG AS North Korea acted in "GOOD FAITH" in working towards denuclearization.
washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-ca…
#FLAG: U.S. Officials, from the Military Intelligence Agency in the Pentagon to the Secretary of State, have ACKNOWLEDGED...

North Korea is ACCELERATING their nuclear program, continuing missiles production, and hiding assets from the U.S..

Good faith?

Less mature today bc greater adoption means neophytes outnumber veterans. Controversial maybe but I think a point worth addressing bc 1/
It raises impt Qs re not only legal ops but all other new-to-legal (+ derivative) roles - as well as more established biz functions 2/
Will neophytes invest needed time effort into building technical skills & domain knowledge OR simply co-opt titles while oversimplifying? 3/

A friendly #reminder. Once the #Primaries are done, and you have who's ever leftover (#firstchoice or not)

From there, Pick the #candidate who is most likely to treat #humans as #humanbeings.

I like #Polis. I like #Kennedy.
I can only have 1.
but they both see me as a human.
There's no extra choice to this.
The GOP governor candidates have made their stances that some humans are better than others.

so.... yeah.
That's how I pick. After I'm done hoping for the best, I will work with the rest.
I just find it's really hard to work with a candidate's "promises to protect blah" when they could care less about the people who inhabit the area.

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI
September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.
