🚨🚨🚨 BREXIT DAY (currently on no-deal terms) 🚨🚨🚨

Wake up, you dozy lot! This isn't the time for sitting on your hands and having a good think after MV3. It's time for action NOW!
If you're an MP planning to delay Brexit or stop no deal, what's your plan?
Will your plan still work if your amendment isn't called?
Will it still work if MV3 never happens?
Does it rely on the Govt obeying an advisory vote?
Can it be delayed or derailed by Parliamentary tricks?
Does it rely on multiple stages, all of which have to fall "just right"? (e.g. vote for a second referendum; second referendum has to include "remain" as an option)
What happens if the Government falls in a VONC?
What happens if the EU refuse an extension of A50?
You have to wargame everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Treat the situationlike an actual war. No deal Brexit is the enemy that must be defeated. It is cunning & ruthless. It doesn't care about procedure or precedent. It wants to win at any cost. How do you prevent that?

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.)

Right. It's Friday. A quick #Brexit sitrep, as I understand it, with chats from both sides.

Tldr: the tiller of SS Britannia seems stuck fast, and the No Deal rapids lie dead ahead....is there anything that will blow the ship to the safety of the shore? /1
There are lots of murmurs round Westminster that MPs now want to back the deal - this kind of stuff noted in @Jack_Blanchard_ playbook. /2
@Jack_Blanchard_ But dig a little deeper, and ask people in Commons/Lords if acceptance of a deal requires Cox/May to win changes to the backstop - a time-limit, an exit mechanism - they say 'oh yes, of course'... /3

@MichelBarnier, addressing a Spanish audience, cuts to the chase: withdrawal agreement is the best possible for citizens and budget but also for aviation and fisheries.
The UK has grossly underestimated the consequences of #Brexit, says Barnier. It will need to build up a whole new administration in very little time.
#GibraltarWatch: Barnier, in Madrid: “There is a protocol to the Withdrawal Agreement saying what will happen with #Gibraltar.” Now, moving on to the more important question of Ireland...

#BREXIT craziness update so maybots deal is blown out of the water l. Similarly corbyns vote of no confidence fails and won't be backed by SNP and lib dems
Despite her #BREXIT deal being defeated by biggest margin a government has lost a vote ever maybot seeks concessions on backstop despite being told to bog off by the EU with no realistic hope of a different answer
Corbyn meanwhile refuses to talk #BREXIT without no deal being ruled out despite knowing she can't do this whilst maybot makes no concessions either.

1/ If you don’t follow Brexit every day, here’s some advice. Let go of any illusions that this drama is about trade protocols, residency rights or the status of the Irish border. Brexit is the story of a proud former imperial power undergoing a mid-life crisis
2/ The rest of the world is left listening to Britain’s therapy session as they drone on about their ex-spouse, unable to see, admit or address their own flaws.
3/ The promise of Brexit was that it would make Britain feel big again. “Britain is special,” the Brexiteers assured British voters, who cast their ballots accordingly. But Brexit has proven that for the first time in modern history, Britain is small.

"#Brexit and EU agencies", our extensive look into third country relationships of the 36 EU agencies and how the UK might fit in.

swp-berlin.org/fileadmin/cont…

Albeit largely technical, agencies will have huge implications on Brexit.

Five points stand out in particular:
First, Agencies matter. Like the customs union, they are a technical aspect of the EU, that works and was thus hardly discussed in the UK before #Brexit.
But they are important for single market, but also justice and home affairs.

UK gov thus has already asked to continue participation in selected agencies, in particular in sectors important to the UK economy, like aviation, chemicals or pharma.

1. All of this flagged up by #Remain before A50 passed by the CONS & Labour..I remember distinctly our warnings that if it went thru Control passed to the EU27. It goes to prove how much damage both parties are prepared to inflict on our country to impose their ideology on us all
2. This price to buy a Transition that merely allows our politicians to kick the real impact down the road so they can con ppl into thinking things will be fine after #Brexit. If we don't #StopBrexitSaveBritain we'll be out on 29/03/19 & it will be too late to avoid the cliff.
3. This is all about leaving the EU 29/03/19..once out we've lost our BEST POSSIBLE DEAL, it will be Pay & Obey No Say on many issues ad infinitum; we'll never get back in. At that point we lose Rights...we're already losing jobs to the EU as companies relocate at least in part.
