I have updated my tally of how MPs might vote in a forced choice between PM's deal and delaying Brexit docs.google.com/document/d/1EL…
I have used tonight's votes by 20 Tory MPs against Cooper amdt as measure of hard core who would rather delay than accept PM's deal
It produces a remarkable result: a 317-317 tie, assuming 4 abstentions
Urgent revision: "delay Brexit" would win 319-315 (thanks to @Allen_Upper for pointing out I'd missed 2 tellers on Cooper amdt)

I've revised my tally of how MPs might vote on a forced choice, revised deal vs Brexit delay, again docs.google.com/document/d/1EL…
Because I don't think PM can win unless she gets the DUP's support
If DUP back revised deal, she can win if she reduces Tory hard core to 30, & 34 Lab/ex-Lab MPs vote for it – both realistic targets

Right. It's Friday. A quick #Brexit sitrep, as I understand it, with chats from both sides.

Tldr: the tiller of SS Britannia seems stuck fast, and the No Deal rapids lie dead ahead....is there anything that will blow the ship to the safety of the shore? /1
There are lots of murmurs round Westminster that MPs now want to back the deal - this kind of stuff noted in @Jack_Blanchard_ playbook. /2
@Jack_Blanchard_ But dig a little deeper, and ask people in Commons/Lords if acceptance of a deal requires Cox/May to win changes to the backstop - a time-limit, an exit mechanism - they say 'oh yes, of course'... /3

So now the latest Corbynista gambit us to pretend there is a choice between a General election and stopping #brexit this is a completely false alternative
It is then claimed that in wanting to stop #brexit you are in some way callously allowing the homeless to die and are therefore evil
The fact that there probably isn't going to be a general election is seemingly no excuse. Nor is the fact that Soubry Grieve Heidi Allen and Co aren't going to back a no confidence motion but would back a #PeoplesVote if corbyn backed it is no excuse either

El artículo que se circuló ayer diciendo que "El Instituto Luther King de EEUU pide que Torra deje de usar su figura" es FALSO.

El Director del instituto dice sentirse "perturbado" y "mal citado" al ver que el artículo "distorsiona lo que realmente dije".
Declaración del director: claybornec.wordpress.com/2018/09/14/on-…

Dado que la noticia es falsa, estaría bien que los que la difundieron publicaran correcciones hoy, para no confundir/engañar a sus seguidores:

رولا جبريال تكتب في مجلة النيوزويك مقالة تؤرخ لصعود الثورات المضادة وصعود محمد بن سلمان معها: "محمد بن سلمان يسحر الغرب"، مترجمة للعربية على هذا الرابط: docs.google.com/document/d/1ZQ…
@rulajebreal #سنه_على_اعتقال_نخب_الوطن
المقال كان على غلاف المجلة المشهورة، مع شعار "Make Arabia Great Again" وهذه مقارنة لخطاب بن سلمان الشعبوي بشعار ترامب "Make Arabia Great Again"، بعض اعضاء اللوبي السعودي ظنوا أن هذا يعتبر مديحا لبن سلمان، والحقيقة أنه وفي ظل الوضع السياسي الأمريكي اليوم تعتبر هذه أقرب إلى مسبة!
ترامب يعيش أسوأ وأحلك لحظات رئاسته، بل يمكن أن نقول هي أحلك أيام حياته، والقادم أسوا. فماضيه المليئ بالفساد يلاحق به الآن قانونيا، عدد كبير من أعضاء حملته أصبحوا إما في السجن وإما تحت التحريات. حكامنا الذين عولوا على ترامب وانفقوا عليه الملايين ستتحول ملايينهم إلى فضائح قريبا.

It’s good that the Government has a common approach to #Brexit; we needed that before triggering Article 50. Now we need a strategy to get the best outcome for our country. That’s the only way to reunify it...
1. We need to #SuspendA50 to give us time to do the job of negotiating a deal properly. For better or worse the EU affects almost every aspect our lives - from our health to our work to the air we breathe. A rushed job will be a bad job - for us & the EU
2. We also need to recognise how far & fast the EU is moving on issues that matter to us - like migration, which largely fuelled the vote to Leave
