Government and Parliament is not covering itself in glory at the moment.,... can kicking; game playing; ducking the real issue.. and refusing to confront reality.
Totally depressing when outside people are having to make critical decisions to spend/waste money on no deal plans...
people with no idea how their plans/ livelihoods will be affected. Unable to make plans... . most of the benefits of negotiating a transition thrown away..
and ends up with feeble points scoring and dashing off for a stupid football match .. totally underwhelmed by this juvenile show from all sides.

Fantastic evening @instituteforgov watching part two of @BBCTwo Inside Europe series on the eurozone crisis = and discussing with our excellent panel. Watch it on Monday
@instituteforgov @BBCTwo Big take-outs.. when France and Germany agree, they get their way...
@instituteforgov @BBCTwo if you are in the weaker position, running down the clock for the one minute to midnight deal may mean a worse outcome than the one you were offered earlier...

my suggestion to help the PM - EU agrees to set up a working group of technical experts as soon as WA passed to investigate and make recommendations on "technological and facilitative arrangements"
can include any experts nominated by the UK (so all the ERG's favourite experts) and reps from HMRC and Defra and Irish authorities + EU experts.
set a deadline to report by October 2019 so can be fed into the discussions on the long-run future relationship... and have it chaired by a neutral. Both sides agree to consider conclusions carefully as part of "best endeavours"

#BrexitChaos - thread: need for definitions:

#NoDeal #nodealbrexit means crashing out: no arrangements with the #EU or other member states, no transition period. Means losing all existing trade deals & years of global negociations
#WTO ≠ trade deal (look it up!) 1/9
@theresa_may #WithdrawalAgreement is the framework for a future #UK #EU future relationship. Allows for an orderly #Brexit with transition period, but leaves many issues to resolve, trade deals and regulations to negotiate, which will take many years and be costly. No "dividend"!
It is possible to #StopBrexit and #Remain. This means staying in the #EU with all current benefits, reciprocal rights and protections, free trade and movement for goods, services and people within the EU. To do this, Govt must #RevokeA50 (Article 50=notice given to #Leave 3/9

A regular reader suggested that I explain this. Instead I think I'll expand on it. Constitutional ponderings.
2. Our current Constitution worked, to some degree, for a long time.
As black Americans can tell you, it didn't work all that well for them. That said, the original, pre-amendment, pre-bill-of-rights, Constitution really wasn't about rights. It was a blueprint for a government.
3. I'm not sure this is widely appreciated. I see a lot of tweets that reference the Constitution in some way, but most of them go on to speak about something the Constitution never said or implied.
It's just a how-to manual.

Watching the chaos that is JFK airport on Snapchat and @flightradar24. Cannot believe it’s allowed to operate like this and hasn’t been shut down with all inbounds diverted.
The most insane part of the JFK madness right now is that it has been going on for DAYS. Seeing some jokes about airlines turning round over the Atlantic, but no joke, that’s a better option right now.
Meanwhile, there are two Aeroflot flights with the same flight number on the ground at JFK. I can’t even.

Game creation is different from film making. Let’s say we imagine “a hallway the player is meant to walk down according to the game design.
The hallway has meaning in the plot as well as the game design. Is the purpose to deliver the story, to practice the controls,
to show the scenery, or to add rhythm to the game play? A variety of possibilities exist. As the game development proceeds,
