The final paragraph, 4th page, regarding the Cooper -Letwin Bill (quite apart from other remarks) is rather alarming, if that opinion is accurate.

(See Tweet 2)
@GeorgePeretzQC @JolyonMaugham @JMPSimor @ProfKAArmstrong have any thoughts?

 “It is suggested, therefore, that notwithstanding the increasing political discussion around the Cooper Bill, the Government retains the ability to insist that the only choices available to Parliament,...

“for as long as the Government remains in office, are: 1) the PM’s deal, or 2) no deal.

Business pile in from several sources calling out May’s shameful conduct all whipped up by the ERG and Hoey types.
1/. In surance trade body, the ABI, said a no-deal Brexit "would be a be an unforgivable act of economic and social self-harm".
bbc.com/news/business-…
2/ IOD: Businesses have lost all faith in the political process and as those first in the firing line of no-deal, they deserve to know more."
3/. CBI deputy director general Josh Hardie described (the vote delay) as "the latest signal to businesses that no-deal is hurtling closer".

"It must be averted. Every day without a deal means less investment and fewer jobs created," he said.

“The trade bill currently making its way through parliament contains no provision for greater parliamentary involvement in trade agreements. In fact, it provides no formal obligation to even inform or consult parliament on negotiations.”

That’s an outrage politics.co.uk/comment-analys…
2/. “The Friday before lastmarked the Brexit supply chain deadline for exports to Asia. It is vital for businesses exporting to countries such as Japan to know the terms on which they are trading and right now they do not.”
3/ “The first freight ships have departed bound with no idea what our trade agreements will be there when they arrive”

Last week we heard a Swiss U.K. trade deal had been agreed.
By whom? Who scrutinised whether the post transition reduced terms v current terms were acceptable?

@LePlanRex @friedmann_f @malakhstudios @jessphillips @CommonsForeign 1/ At the heart of serious corruption & money laundering cases are anonymous companies whose real owners are hidden from scrutiny by lawyers, accountants & rogue professionals
The secrecy made possible in OTs has been key to criminals worldwide enjoying impunity for their actions
@LePlanRex @friedmann_f @malakhstudios @jessphillips @CommonsForeign 2/. To combat that legislation was passed to require registers of beneficial interests (the true beneficiary rather than the front .org) by the end of 2020.

The @CommonsForeign has issued a sharp rebuke to the Govt that intended to delay this until 2023.
@LePlanRex @friedmann_f @malakhstudios @jessphillips @CommonsForeign 3/. It is WELL worth watching the first few minutes of this Bill Browder @CommonsForeign session particularly on the shedloads of Russian money sloshing around in the U.K. & our startling failures to issue sanctions.

“No need” for their Bill now...
Cross party amendments still being laid says Cooper:
The original paving amendment for the Cooper-Letwin Bill has gone down tonight [though Letwin has indicated the Bill not required].

Cooper has a further cross party amendment to “pin down the PMs commitments”.

There’s a certain lack of trust here.

Interesting discussion today about the role of Queen's Consent in relation to the Cooper-Letwin Bill. There are, I think, two key questions that need to be addressed when deciding if/how this constitutional novelty is relevant. (1/x)
Firstly, we have to ask what Queen's Consent applies to. @RobertCraig3's piece in today' @ukcla discusses this. One context in which this requirement applies if a Bill would, as Erskine May (p. 165) says, "affect" the Royal prerogative. (2/x) ukconstitutionallaw.org/2019/02/25/rob…
There's been little comment on what it means for a Bill to "affect" the prerogative. No court has ruled whether Gov'ts Article 50 negotiations/any extension request is done under the prerogative, or e.g. under implied authority of EU (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017. (3/x)

1) The reason for the #Gannett firings may (?) reside in the #Hussein era Countering Disinformation & Propaganda Act included in the #NDAA for fiscal year 2017 that #O signed. It expired in Dec 2018. Originally submitted by #Portman/Murphy & called the Countering Information
2) Warfare Act, it was then co-sponsored as titled by #RepAdamKinzinger & #RepTedLieu as H.R. 5181. This dystopic, #MinistryOfTruth like #Bill, would 'develop & disseminate’ “fact-based narratives” to counter effrontery propaganda.
Think #C_A & #Gannett connection w/4AM talking
3) points à la #OperationMockingbird. The #Bill was created to enable a gov't crack down on any media property it deems #Propaganda, & here's the kicker in all this, it provides substantial amounts of #Money to fund an army of local journalists to disseminate counter-propaganda,

51. Given the island’s demographics it is possible that Sargon’s grandfather had African heritage although the island also has a history of indentured servants coming from South/Southeast Asia & China.

52. Here’s the tweet from Andrew Doyle and the AP article that Sargon mentioned.

53. Sargon is not alt-right by the AP’s definition, but you wouldn’t know that from the coverage of his removal from Patreon & his and other creators’ attempt to move to SubscribeStar.

Cool, j'ai un exposé à faire sur un article de Virginie Julliard : #ThéorieDuGenre : comment débat-on du genre sur Twitter ?
Fun car ce sont mes binômes qui ont choisi le sujet et que ça tombe direct dans mes intérêts. Je vais faire un LT, ça me servira de notes !
Hypothèse du papier : Twitter produit un débat spécifique, en raison de ses propriétés & de la manière dont les utilisateurs s'en saisissent
