Comprehensive busting of the many lies and myths in the list of claims about the Lisbon Treaty that's spreading virally on social media. Most things on the list are utter bilgewater. The rest are wildly out of context.
fullfact.org/europe/viral-l…
Reminder: it's not just average folk sharing the Lisbon Treaty nonsense. Esther McVey did too. (She later deleted the tweet without admitting to having done so, because delete's the new unsay). Here it is restored to its original glory. More info at link.
Note number of shares/retweets on the now deleted tweet. It clearly reached tens of thousands of people before she quietly pulled it. Seems to happen a lot (not just her): Brexiter MPs share dodgy propaganda, let it circulate widely, then delete it and pretend nothing happened.
This gives you some idea... 19 retweets and 23 likes of my tweet about Esther's tweet, and that translates to over 2,000 views. So hers definitely circulated very widely.

If this is true, it's a whole new chapter to the Brexit pantomime of the absurd. Also proof positive that the Government has abandoned even the pretense of playing by the conventions of Parliament.

MPs take note: Theresa May *will* sabotage your amendments if humanly possible.
This could backfire extraordinarily badly. Some MPs, already minded to vote against MV3 because the prospect of a long extension is tantalisingly close, may be outraged by this naked attempt to subvert the centuries-old functioning of Parliament, hardening resolve against MV3.

So the net result of John Bercow's ruling drawing on precedent going back to 1604 is that Theresa May's undead Meaningful Vote has finally had garlic chucked at it and a stake through the heart... "MV3: The Unnecessary Sequel" drops off the Brexit production schedule. Or does it?
Actually, there are a whole bunch of things the Government could still do if she insists on having another crack, come what may.
1. CTRL-ALT-DEL to Parliament: prorogue this session, and start a new one. Would kill a ton of work-in-progress bills and be super controversial.
2. Put forward a motion saying that the HOC agrees to ignore its own process for the span of MV3. But that would need a majority to pass, and why would it get one if MV3 doesn't have one?
3. Get changes from the EU. (I am leaving this here for completeness.)

Urgent Question just beginning in the HOC on the procedure applicable to the Article 50 extension.
Justine Greening quite rightly calls out the Brexit Secretary for having closed the debate about extending Article 50 and then immediately voting against the motion.
In response, the Brexit Minister Kwasi Kwarteng says that he also voted the same way as the Brexit Secretary. Much backbench muttering ensured.

(Everyone knows the best way to extinguish a fire is with a big bucket of petrol.)

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

Humanitarian Wars for democracy and freedom are false and lying - 9

#Syria #WarCrimes #FakeNews #lies #terrorism
1.
 What was the UN created for?
What was the United Nations charter created for?
What were human rights associations created for?
What was the International Criminal Court created for?

Enough of double standars and hypocrisy. Enough is enough.
2.
 The United States, in order to be able to carry out its wars with the slogan of freedom and democracy, has continually blatantly lied, over many years, to the permanent representatives of other United Nations countries.
