.@BethRigby’s “Cabinet source” is confused. The U.K. can’t, by its own law, ratify the WA until the WA Bill is enacted. If there’s no extension and the Bill has only just got through the HoC on 29/3 then the U.K. crashes out by operation of law.
“Enough for the EU” (whatever that means) is irrelevant here.
It would be nice to live in a world where Cabinet ministers understood the fundamental legal constraints within which key decisions are being taken.

Important thread by an Advocate General to the Court of Justice.
Read it. But a key point is that if the U.K. wants to change the type of Brexit it wants (she does not mention it, but an EEA/EFTA Brexit would fall into that class) she considers that ...
... the EU would be content with an extension - the extension would give time for the U.K. to sort out the outlines of what it wanted and to renegotiate the political declaration (which is definitely open to be rewritten if the U.K. wants to revise the Timothy/May red lines).

A quick thread on the mechanics of Parliament “taking control of Brexit”.
This is hard for it to do.
First, the EU (or any other foreign government) won’t negotiate with an ad hoc group of MPs: they want to negotiate with Ministers.

This is a fair analysis.
I’d add that it shows the folly of adopting a negotiating strategy without first securing the consensus you need to get it through Parliament.
It was evident from June 2017 that the PM could not build that consensus on just the Conservative Party + DUP, given the divisions in the Conservative Party and the (for her) disastrous election result. All you needed to do was to count.

@RosChappell @Billbrowder If you can’t read the Telegraph story (paywall) and account is here

@RosChappell @Billbrowder 2/

The dossier apparently implicated businessman, Dmitry Klyuev - head of the organised crime syndicate.

A bit more about him & whistleblower Alexander Perepilichnyy who you might remember died in mysterious circumstances in his home in Weybridge with traces of poison
@RosChappell @Billbrowder 3/. Perepilichnyy,supplied documents to Mr Browder, allegedly showing how senior Russian tax officials had benefited from the fraud.

@CommonsCMS hearing today on Fake news.

“Zuckerberg sent his cap” suggested the Belgian representative, a phrase the Belgians use when to describe a guest not turning up.

This, despite at least 10 different countries being represented on the committee, is quite a discourtesy.
2/. I want to replay the hearing again, before doing a thread, but an issue that arose in recent weeks again was playing through my mind as I listened to one country after another talking about hijacking social media to subvert election.
3/. How do we control the influence of foreign actors delivering messages in social and other media through U.K. Companies?

Companies, indeed, that a political party might use to do its dirty work-creating “arms length” deniability?

Countries that do NOT have U.K. interests 1st

#wa தீபாவளி ஸ்நானத்திற்கு தடை !!

ஹிந்துக்கள் தீபாவளி அன்று குளிக்கக் கூடாது என்று பாப்கான் என்பவர் தொடர்ந்த வழக்கை மிக மிக அவசர வழக்காக இரவோடு இரவாக விடிய விடிய விசாரித்த சுப்ரீம் கோர்ட், அதற்கு தடை விதித்து வரலாற்று சிறப்பு மிக்க தீர்ப்பை வழங்கியது.
இது பற்றி தீர்ப்பில், ஹிந்துக்கள் பண்டிகை என்பதால் தைரியமாக தடை விதிப்பதாகவும், இதன் மூலம் பல லட்சம் லிட்டர் தண்ணீர் சேமிக்கலாம் என்றும் நீதிபதிகள் தெரிவித்துள்ளனர்.
இது பற்றி கருத்து கூறிய பப்பு, கங்கா ஸ்நானம் ஆச்சா என்று கேட்பது மதவாதம் என்றும் தேம்ஸ் ஸ்நானம் ஆச்சா என்றோ நைல் ஸ்நானம் ஆச்சா என்றோ கேட்பது ஸெக்யுலர் என்றும் தெரிவித்தார்.

ஸ்டாலின் இது பற்றி கூறுகையில், தீபாவளி பண்டிகை என்று சொல்லி குளிப்பதை மட்டுமே தங்கள் கட்சி எதிர்ப்பதாகவும்

#SexualHarassment #Workplace #Law #MeTooIndia
Just clarifying some stuff on the law on sexual harassment at the workplace, in light of the many incidents which are coming out. Slightly long thread, please read till the end. bit.ly/2E4v7b5
When someone at a place of work behaves in a sexual way towards women and it is unwanted, offensive, threatening, or humiliating, it is seen as a form of harassment.
There is no fixed definition of sexual harassment. It would change from person to person, but most importantly, it depends on how comfortable the woman is with the behavior.

Thread. @HadleyFreeman has produced a cracking article this morning in the Guardian, available here: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Following the lead of second wave feminists, I define gender as sex-role stereotypes. The feminist goal was and is the elimination of gender (sex-role stereotypes) as it is a tool of oppression which stifles all people.
It is gender (sex-role stereotypes) which teaches that men can’t express emotion and women are subordinate. It is gender which says women are second-class citizens and should be treated as such. It is gender which says ‘boys will be boys’ when men abuse women.

Thread: Here’s how the U.S led strikes on #Syria developed from here in the Capital #Damascus in the early hours of this morning
1. At around 4.30 Damascus time I awoke to initial large sounds of over 10 rocket attacks, it immediately was clear from the types of missile being heard that it was a Western Attack conducted by the #U.S #France & #U.K
2. The strikes were heard clearly in all parts of the Capital and continued on and off for a duration of 50 minutes, Syrian state media reported the strikes but didn’t provide information as to the locations
