WILLIAMSON. Okay. So I've looked at the list of names for the new Submarine. I have another suggestion though.
FIRST LORD: That's not how this works.
WILLIAMSON: Want to hear my suggestion?
FIRST LORD: No?
WILLIAMSON:
FIRST LORD:
WILLIAMSON: Okay cool. Here it is.
WILLIAMSON: So we need to call this sub something COOL. Right? INSPIRING.
FIRST LORD: I...
WILLIAMSON: Stay with me. Something BAD-ASS
FIRST LORD: Minister...
WILLIAMSON: HMS Rogal Dorn
FIRST LORD: HMS Royal dawn?
WILLIAMSON: DUDE. No! Rogal Dorn. How do you NOT know Rogal Dorn?!
WILLIAMSON: Rogal Dorn is a hero of the Imperium
FIRST LORD: The Royal Navy is proud of its history but to many the Empire was
WILLIAMSON: No! Not Empire! The IMPERIUM OF MAN
FIRST LORD:
WILLIAMSON: From Warhammer
FIRST LORD:
WILLIAMSON: That's why this WORKS dude. It's INCLUSIVE
FIRST LORD: You want to name our new submarine after a sci-fi character?
WILLIAMSON: Not sci-fi. WARHAMMER 40K. And not any character. ROGAL DORN. The greatest of the Primarchs. He's a hero!
FIRST LORD: He's fictional
WILLIAMSON: Oh come on. So was Nelson.
FIRST LORD: Wait, what?
FIRST LORD: You think Horatio Nelson was fictional?
WILLIAMSON: One hand and one eye. The parrot. C'mon dude.
FIRST LORD: What parrot?!
WILLIAMSON: The peg leg. Jim Hawkins.
FIRST LORD: That's Long John Silver!
WILLIAMSON: Aren't they the same?
FIRST LORD: No!
WILLIAMSON: Huh.
WILLIAMSON: Anyway. I still think HMS Rogal Dorn would be amazing.
FIRST LORD: I don't...
WILLIAMSON: I mean ideally I'd go with HMS Roboute Guilliman. Because my custom Chapter is spun from the Ultramarines. But Dorn was super badass. And the Fists are cool too.
FIRST LORD: No!
FIRST LORD: Sir! It CANNOT be HMS Rogal Dorn!
WILLIAMSON: But
FIRST LORD: Sir. sorry. But I must insist. It must be off the list
WILLIAMSON:
FIRST LORD:
WILLIAMSON: Fine. This one.
FIRST LORD: HMS Warspite. A good choice sir. A proud history
WILLIAMSON <soto>: It's no Rogal Dorn.

Last night we hit 70% funded for The Brexit Tapes. In 4 days! The lovely people at @unbounders tell me that's 👍

For the first time, this feels like it might be real. So I want to share something with you: the dedication. And tell you about two women who helped make me, well, me
So the first person mentioned is @dduane and I have talked about how her books got me reading as a kid before.

I won't rehash that too much, but I was about nine and I read because people EXPECTED me to, not because I wanted to. Then I read her books and they blew me away.
She's had to put up with me tweeting about this already and I've no desire to embarrass her further, when more often these days I get to discuss with her how a dragon would take down a cruise missile. Because Twitter is the fucking best.

It's here though:

I always forget that other countries don't have our cool naval titles.

First Lord is still a 'real' one, but we still have loads that USED to be critical, but are now largely ceremonial

E.g. Baron Boyce. Ex-First Lord. He's still Warden of the Cinque Ports, Keeper of the Coast
(Because Warden of the Cinque Ports is a life post).
The one I would 100% revive if I was in charge of the country though is Count of the Saxon Shore, a sort of combined arms (naval/army) position.

I mean COME ON. How fucking bad-ass does that sound? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_of_…

JAVID: Hello PM! The Saj is... Oh. Phil. Shouldn't you be in China?
HAMMOND: Yes, but Gavin's been reading Biggles comics again.
JAVID: Bugger. He doesn't learn.
HAMMOND: This time he fucking will.

<Gavin's office>

WILLIAMSON: My Space Marines! Who broke all my Space Marines?!
HAMMOND: Speaking of pointless posturing, how's your war on pregnant sixteen year olds going?
JAVID: Ha bloody ha. The Saj will not be seen to compromise on security!
HAMMOND:
JAVID: Anyway, she's nineteen now and has had the baby.
HAMMOND: Oh that makes it so much better, sure.
HAMMOND: Hello all. I'll be chairing Cabinet today as the PM is in Brussels and David is... busy

<St Stephens Pub>

SOUBRY: It's so nice. It feels... sorry, but there's a man in a trenchcoat watching us through a newspaper
GREENING: It's just Lidington. He's my tail, apparently.

Starting with the conclusions (always the best bit)
1 Principled and practical are TM's new adjectves for #Brexit, which sounds conciliatory and is the sort of thing the EU do want to hear.
2
a Frictionless trade at the border (specific border not stated)
b UK out CAP & Fisheries, but in on crime & terror & shared prosperity fund
c No hard Border between NI & I, but protect the Union
d End of CJEU in UK, return "accountability" to the various elected assemblies

JINN STORY TIME 🙋🏽‍♂️
So the house I’m living in right now, some weird stuff used to happen. Anyways, before we moved into this house in 2006 there was a huge cotton factory which got knocked down and houses were built here.
This all started about a year or so after we moved in, at first it was minor. So the first initial encounter I had was when I was home alone once and I was on the computer which was against the wall so I couldn’t see anything behind me.

What's needed?
@davidbaldock & Allan Buckwell of @IEEP_eu:
1: Sufficient funding for environmental measures in Pillar 1
2: Specifics for New Delivery Model
3: Flexibility for Pillar 1 to 2 transfers
4. Fund ANCs under Pillar 1

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house
