I should note that I was at the event where this happened and the rumour circulating was that the Polish government had refused to meet with the random assortment of Tory MPs who turned up out of nowhere in the middle of the day.
I should also say that there were a lot of MPs from both major parties there for the whole event celebrating UK-Poland relations and I remain very much pro our elected officials meeting and forging links with other parliamentarians across the EU.

I guess this means Trump is willing to open up state level procurement markets to British bidders.
(This is not what it means.)
Oh most definitely!

What will it be called? The most meaningful vote? The meaningfullest vote?
Maybe we need to put this question back to the people.
To be clear I’m talking about a people’s vote on the question of what we call the next meaningful vote.

My take on the no-deal tariff schedule: on the face of it the UK’s approach seems broadly pragmatic and sensible.
I’m sure there’s devil in the detail, but general approach of *attempting* to offset consumer price rises by ensuring as much continues to enter tariff free as possible while continuing to protect some vulnerable domestic industry & guard against preference erosion makes sense.
Note: I still think consumer prices are more likely to rise than fall in event of no deal.

Okay, I'm gonna rant again.

Programmers are not that fucking good. Programmers, in general terms, are shit at coding. So "having everything in the world being joined together, using code" - I dunno, to me, that scares the absolute fuck out of me.
This week, a 25 year old indie tune hit turned up, out of nowhere, in the Japanese music charts - at number 18. Respectable.

How'd it get there?
TV pirates had uploaded footage of a Japanese reality show about boxing bad boys, years ago.

This week, it went viral. YouTube were offering it up via their algorithms. People binged, playing the song over and over.

Six years ago, Billboard started counting YouTube plays

Let's learn from history.

Back in 1989/90, the Community Charge was introduced by Margaret Thatcher in Scotland and then England and Wales. You probably remember it as the Poll Tax. Despite it being hugely unpopular, Maggie pressed ahead with the policy.
Maggie's argument was that the people had voted for the policy - after all, it had been in the Tory manifesto that had given her another landslide - so she had to deliver it and they could not change their minds.
There were protests and some of them were pretty violent. Maggie said that there was no way that she would back down from the policy. Meanwhile, Tory MPs were hearing the upset from ordinary voters in their constituencies.

** announcement **

It's 10 am, and I'll be here all day, live-tweeting Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's testimony then Brett's lies and every misogynistic moment in between.

#StopKavanaugh
In addition, there will be timely updates and thoughtful takes on our home page from colleagues @joanmccarter @kerryeleveld @Scout_Finch @wallein @HunterDK et al. dailykos.com
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is here, and she's wearing a cerulean power suit. She looks nervous, keeping her head down--when she finally turned, audible clicks take over the audio.

1) #TheresaMay has revealed herself to be an open borders corporatist and an #EU fifth columnist. She regards #Brexit as a problem to be neutralised, not a promise to be delivered.
2) For two years #TheresaMay has stalled us and watered down what we voted for until there is virtually nothing left of it. She has been deliberately deceitful and she has insulted the intelligence of millions of people.
3) Many people who voted to remain want #Brexit to happen because they’re fair-minded enough to respect the result of a democratic vote. They can see that for the government to renege on the result would be like punching a hole in the bottom of a boat.

Importantly from last night, Labour Leave rebels voting against whip are now down to 2 - were at 7 during Article 50 amendments...
Eg Hoey & Stringer on this motion. But Campbell voted with Labour, Hopkins not there, Stuart left parliament, Field abstained
Would that be the same on eg the Government's exit date amendment? It certainly puts Tory rebel numbers of 10-15 in defeat territory

It's #WorldKindnessDay
@nickynoo007 made the brilliant suggestion to #KillBrexitWithKindness
Here's my *stab*: thank you #Brexit for honing my power point skills. In gratitude, I'm posting my top-20 most popular anti-#Brexit/#StopBrexit memes (in no particular order).
1. One of the more recent ones on @DavidDavisMP hypocrisy over his failure to release the Brexit Impact Reports or sector studies or whatever they are, which he testified existed in "excruciating detail"
Release the #BrexitImpactReports #StopBrexit #revokeA50forthwith #FBPE
2. Never has this one on the #Tory Kakistocracy seemed more relevant with @michaelgove throwing #NazaninZaghariRatcliffe under a bus on #Marr to throw a political lifeline to his dangerously incompetent buddy @BorisJohnson
