Exclusive: Nicky Morgan flat out rejects claims that the Tories have an Islamophobia problem.

Morgan told me she understands that Baroness Warsi "feels very passionately" about the issue but added: "No. Not at all. I absolutely do not recognise it."businessinsider.com/nicky-morgan-c…
Morgan told me: "Maybe [Baroness Warsi's] experiences are different from mine"

"But I have a significant Bangledeshi, Muslim population in my constituency & never have they said to me they don't feel like the Conservative party is party they can support" businessinsider.com/nicky-morgan-c…
Morgan also rejected claims that the Tories were being taken over by the far-right & UKIP: “I don't subscribe to this view that the far-right is somehow in control of the Conservative party from top to toe. It's just not right”

Full interview coming later businessinsider.com/nicky-morgan-c…

Exclusive: The Conservatives should consider replacing Theresa May by the end of 2019, Nicky Morgan told me

The former minister also said:

— Talk of UKIP entry-ism into the Tories is highly exaggerated
— Extending Article 50 could be a "very bad idea"
businessinsider.com/nicky-morgan-c…
Morgan said claims that the Tories are being taken over by UKIP are "just not right" and that deselection talk is exaggerated

"... people in Boles' association have talked about it seriously. But how many people more widely have actually talked about it?" businessinsider.com/nicky-morgan-c…
Morgan on A50 extension: “How long is the gov talking about? What does the gov intend to do during that time? And how will it relate to fighting the European Parliament elections, which I think would be a really, really bad idea for us to get involved in?” businessinsider.com/nicky-morgan-c…

Cumbrian MP @timfarron tells the PM that bank closures have ravaged the region and left the town of Grange without one. PM says banks are responding to changing personal financing behaviour. Bit of a tin-eared #PMQs response to a issue facing towns and villages nationwide.
Furious cries of “absolute rubbish” from Labour benches as the PM says her government has given more money to local authorities #PMQs.
Labour MP Phil Wilson asks the PM to confirm “by what century” the Stronger Towns Fund will give back to the northeast the money it has lost as a result of austerity #PMQs

Here at @instituteforgov where former UK rep to the EU, Sir Ivan Rogers, is going to be speaking about Brexit and HMG’s handling of it very shortly
Sir Ivan Rogers kicks off by saying UK-EU trade negotiations are the first he can think of in history in which 2 sides seek "to get further apart"

He says that every other trade negotiation is about "converging and dismantling barriers to trade" — but Brexit is the opposite
Rogers says that people around Theresa May at the start of the Article 50 process "didn't know very much about European Councils or that much about the EU"

Exclusive:

Nicky Morgan, IDS & Owen Paterson warn PM that backstop is a 'monumental' issue that cannot be resolved with 'few cursory tweaks'

They say the PM appears to have "forgotten" fact her deal was defeated by 230 votes

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/…
Here's the killer line in the Morgan, Paterson and IDS op-ed:

'It is almost as if PM has forgotten the scale of the original Withdrawal Agreement’s defeat (by 230 votes) or how unacceptable the Backstop proposals remain to significant numbers of MPs on both sides of the House.'
It means the fragile truce between PM and Tory MPs is already on the brink of breaking.

'The backstop in anything like its present form is simply never going to pass the Commons,' Morgan, IDS & Paterson say.

What the hell is @jeremycorbyn doing?
Why is he enabling #Tory #Brexit?
Is this the final betrayal?
No, it isn't.
It's the predicted effect of decisions taken 2-3 years ago. All things considered, it's not as bad as it could have been (thanks to #StopBrexit crowd).

Thread.
1/n
To understand why, I need to outline 2 important mechanisms that most people, politicians and commentators seem to ignore, dismiss or simply don't get. They have different and somewhat opposite consequences, but are both decisive in the current & foreseeable predicaments.
2/n
1st and foremost: the biggest constraint that applies to political decision-making comes from the past decisions & policies.
It is a massive constraint.
Cameron COULD NOT convincingly campaign for #Remain, because his own policies CREATED the discontent channelled by #Leave.

Cohen, Trump’s Ex-Lawyer, Investigated for Bank Fraud in Excess of $20M

John Dean to WH staffers: 'Get out!' “Whatever you do, don’t be me”

Trump is paying (RNC campaign fund) Keith Schiller, John McEntee, Brad Parscale & Gary Coby 15k per month. Hush money?🙄
💰HushMoney2💰

Trump: “I called it my weekend in Moscow; I was with the top level people, both oligarchs & generals & top of the gov’t people. I can’t go further than that, but I will tell you that I met the top people”

Cohen's lawyer says he's talking to Watergate's John Dean

1. Following the latest horror headline, I think it’s important to say / reiterate that being Jewish and the daughter / granddaughter of refugees makes me doubly, or maybe triply or quadruply, terrified of the proliferation and normalisation of #Islamophobia
2. That’s not to say that I’m not also very scared of the rise in anti Semitism - that would be impossible given what’s happening in say Hungary, Austria and Poland, and the acceptance of eg Soros conspiracy tropes here.
3. But the reach and respectability of #Islamophobia is really on another level. The lazy dismissals of its very existence because ‘Muslims aren’t into a race’ reach right into parts of the supposedly progressive left, although obviously spearheaded by the right.

It's a criminal offence to falsifying a legal instrument. But if the #MetPolice / #LBRUT do it, then there is not even an investigation. 12 years of silence. Evidence to prove it - ukcoverup.com/search-warrant-

Welcome to the #Metpolice who also changed & falsified my arrest details. Have a look at the evidence here ukcoverup.com/arrest-details as it's all easy to prove & that's why it's never addressed
