PANIC OVER JACOB!!! - After MPs put forward an amendment to make British-controlled tax havens more transparent in a key piece of Brexit legislation, the bill has now completely disappeared from today’s House of Commons Order of Business. #ToryCorruption

'Conservative MP Andrew Mitchell and Labour’s Margaret Hodge want the crown dependencies to introduce public share ownership records by December 2020, which the three territories resist.'

Government pulls vote on tax transparency for overseas territories after Brexit - An MP says "they knew we commanded a majority" and warns ministers not to ignore "the will of parliament".

Further farce in Commons - Labour grandee Dame Margaret Hodge had tabled a cross-party amendment to the Financial Services Bill, which would have compelled UK overseas territories such as Guernsey and Jersey to be more transparent about business ownership.

We've said it time and time again, twitter is a brilliant communication tool which can be used to provide effective oversight of our elected officials - or, as in this case, it can be used to highlight how removed from reality the Prime Minister's Brexit position really is.
@AnnaMcMorrin puts @theresa_may on the spot over Leave's illegal activities that are being investigated by the @metpoliceuk and the @NCA_UK and May provides a Freudian response, "this parliament gave the people the decision" - didn't it just Theresa, didn't it just!
Perhaps once away from the cut and thrust of the chamber @theresa_may would do well to consider what @AnnaMcMorrin has asked her because what were once whispers of corruption surrounding the 2016 referendum result are now becoming an international roar...and there's more to come.

BMW board member Peter Schwarzenbauer - 'We at least have to consider moving Cowley production because we cannot absorb 10% costs on top of it.'

BMW board member Peter Schwarzenbauer - 'We at least have to consider moving Cowley production because we cannot absorb 10% costs on top of it.'
You have to applaud their ingenuity; in a competition where the biggest liar wins, in order to persuade voters to back Brexit, unscrupulous politicians would present Brexit as having all the benefits of EU membership when it has none!!! And sadly, enough people fell for it!!!!

Today @duponline posted a statement from @DianeDoddsMEP claiming @europarl_en approved a Report on new digital technology for customs.

They cry foul, given EU has said tech can't yet solve post-Brexit @BorderIrish.

This is worth investigating...

The DUP's statement didn’t give details as to the report concerned, but it is this one:
'on strengthening the competitiveness of the Internal Market by developing the EU Customs Union & its governance' (2018/2109(INI))
europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.d…

1st, let’s put this in context.
The digitisation of EU customs procedures was proposed as long ago as 2003
& enacted in 2008 with the Decision on a paperless environment for customs,
& the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 450/2008 establishing the [Union] Customs Code.🇪🇺 🛃

1/ The UK government should be held in contempt of high Treason. Today's establishment is comprised of many powerful entities that are protecting their own vested interests within our "democracy".
This Establishment uses these groups such as the two party system to manage
2/ democracy to their will so nothing can hinder their overall agendas and profit margins.

They Protect their agenda in many ways but this is the basics of it. This is basically what is happening now with May and her absolutely shocking deal for this country but most likely
3/ a wonderful deal for ((them)). #BREXIT #NoDeal

Politicians make the laws, the legislation and all of the other nuts and bolts of politics that restrain/control us but enrich and free themselves. They are told what to implement and what to discard. They are very wealthy

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

Today, @CER_EU publishes my piece on #Brexit and #JHA. I have been looking at this for 1,5 years so I hope I did not make too many mistakes (links to piece - cer.eu/publications/a… and opens thread)
At the outset of the #Brexit process, most people assumed that a deal on #police and #judicial co-operation was easier to get than one on #trade. Time has shown this is not the case. Ongoing co-op on #JHA is one of the few items yet to be agreed on #withdrawal deal. Why?
Well, because the #EU and #UK's opening positions in the #negotiation are incompatible: Britain wants a #bespoke agreement with the EU, a la #Schengen, but is not willing to accept #ECJ or #EUCharter. EU wants to replicate existing models. What to do?

Once again the @frontlineclub is packed with journalists, @Byline_Media folk, and TV cameras for the latest revelations in the Cambridge Analytica / Trump / Brexit saga from two whistleblowers.

Follow this thread for live-tweeting coverage, and forgive my typos...
... first thing to note is that security has been increased a level or two since last week’s gathering. Two checkpoints against the guest list, and a minder scanning the room.

We’re about to kick off...
... the focus of attention tonight is Shahmir Sanni, joined again by @chrisinsilico who was the focus last week. @carolecadwalla will be joining later when she’s filed at the @guardian
Chris is carrying a large ring binder of documents...

1) Thread - All Brexits are bad and what we voted for
It's often said by brexiters that "it's not all about economics"
However, the *actual* Leave campaign was almost wholly about economic arguments

With the leak of this 2-8% report those arguments are now trashed
2) We seem to have forgotten this however economics played a huge part in the Vote Leave campaign, making up over 2/3rds of the primary arguements. The clear message was we would at the least be no worse off and at best much better off. 4 of the 6 below state this clearly
3) & the fact is voters believed we would be no worse off. People prioritized immigration certainly, but against a backdrop of there being no consequences from Brexit - few are prepared to actually pay for ending FoM
