"Companies bidding for work with the British government are being asked to affirm that they support #Brexit as part of the tendering process"

theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
"Shortly after A50 was enacted companies that tendered for govt contracts were made to sign declarations that they were pro Brexit or no contract These threats are part of the reason its taken so long for major firms to express their growing concerns re #brexit".

Today Theresa May is in Grimsby speaking yet again to a "captive audience" of workers who can hardly show dissent before their Tory supporting employers who have invited May there.

Both Sky & BBC will be broadcasting these silent employees watching our PM address them live.

++BREAKING: Hard Brexit MP's Putin money laundering ties++

Marcus Fysh, one of the proponents for the hardest of #Brexit, revealed to have extensive ties with Money laundering Russian oligarchs and mafia through highly secretive Cyprus companies.
2/
Yet another hard brexiter with Putin ties - this time involved with a company: West Sea Investments Ltd at present hid under the name London Wessex Ltd in the Members' interests register.

& this is where it gets horrifying as the very same company...
3/
 the same company is behind one of the biggest laundering heists in history through West Sea Investment owners - two Cypriot firms: Vaspaco Properties Ltd & Belserve Consultants Ltd - which from 2005 to 2009 laundered the $230m from the so-called “Magnitsky fraud”.

++BREAKING NEWS++

Multiple sources now reporting that May asked civil servants whether presssure could be brought on the Queen to “encourage her” to block any article 50 extension or soft brexit if parliament voted for these against the wishes of cabinet or May.

More to follow.
This would of course mean forcing the monarchy into a full scale constitutional crisis by forcing the Queen to choose between her majesty’s appointed government and the sovereignty of parliament.
Decline how? The Queen would be forced into a position of having to choose.

There would be no simple way out.

 OK this might upset a few people, but here goes...a very small thread on why the New Independent Group could actually be a horrific idea and may well finish off the UK as a (relatively) liberal functioning democracy.
2/
 Problem is 2fold: FPTP combined with traditional UK party culture.
Tories and Labour have always been broad churches - with highly centralised control to ensure the extremes dont get out of hand - there have been exceptions in crisis - but compared to many countries its worked
3/
 In the present crisis both traditional centres of Labour & Tories have been weakened through entryism/radicalisation. Add to this a party which attracts centre/moderates MPs to defect we have a recipie for increasing radicalisation of governing parties - not decreasing.

#Brexit in a nutshell: theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
I'm confident that the reason we're in this mess is that the men involved in #Brexit are those who grew up on a diet of "Battle", "Warlord" & "Commando" comics, which is how we got our mindless xenophobia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Pi…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warlord_(…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commando_…
Nowadays it would all be #CallOfDuty and so forth, but we'd be playing on servers with PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE OTHER COUNTRIES AND COULD LOOK PAST THE STORYLINE

Brexit deal dead.
After this crushing defeat of May's Brexit deal, a loss by 230 votes, she will face a confidence vote brought by Corbyn & Labour. She's pretty sure she will survive that vote but there is no clear path forward. 2nd referendum? Election? #Brexit
"Theresa May has sustained the heaviest parliamentary defeat of any British prime minister in the democratic era after MPs rejected her Brexit deal by a resounding majority of 230." theguardian.com/politics/2019/…

US billionaires helped back #Brexit & are pushing attacks on NHS.

While the world is worried about Russia meddling in Western elections, the US has been actively backing attacks on Western allies and democracy.

Expert called the relevation “extremely disturbing and quite sinister”. Martin Moore, of King’s College London, said that “undisclosed support-in-kind is extremely troubling. It undermines the whole basis of our electoral system, that we should have a level playing field”.
“We have no idea what people were being shown or not, which makes it frankly sinister. Maybe it wasn’t, but we have no way of knowing. There is no possibility of public scrutiny. I find this extremely worrying and disturbing.” - Expert #Brexit #NHS

"The documents raise urgent and troubling questions about Arron Banks' relationship with the Russian government"

So the Lords voted pretty overwhelmingly (347👍, 225 👎) today that 🇬🇧 should stay in a Customs Union with 🇪🇺.

What is this going to mean?

A quick thread.
1/9
Most obviously it makes the chances of 🇬🇧 having a Customs Union with 🇪🇺 marginally higher. That's welcome.

But I think the significance is more tactical.

2/9
First, this all depends on how the Commons reacts.

Does it try to fight back against Lords, and Withdrawal Bill drags on? Or does Govt back down, knowing there would probably be a majority in the Commons for a CU if it wanted it?

The latter looks more likely.
