That's right, parliament already voted for an extension till June 30th unless they've approved a withdrawal agreement by March 20th.
So the withdrawal agreement can't come back, and tonight or tomorrow Theresa May has to request an extension till June 30th.
Then failing that I suppose offer parliament a year's extension.
Which will create havoc, but can at least be voted on before the government collapses
Theresa May can just about get a year's extension approved, and then watch her government fall apart

Twitter, I think it's going to be alright. Watch

If Parliament accepts the withdrawal agreement next week, the Article 50 period can be extended till May 22nd.
If Parliament does not accept the withdrawal agreement next week, then we can shift the Date of Doom from March 29th to April 12th to give us a couple of weeks to decide what we want to do.
As to parliamentary process, it's most peculiar. The Speaker has already rules out another vote on May's withdrawal agreement, so he would first have to change his mind.

Tonight's agreement has pretty much guaranteed that even if there is a vote next week, it will fail again.

Why? Because the risk in doing so has been removed.
You have to think from Brexiteers point of view. What is the risk of voting against May's deal?
None. The worst that happens - for Brexiteers, I mean - the worst that happens is a delay until April 12th.
To ever get parliament to vote for her deal Theresa May would have had to orchestrate another vote on the very day before we got kicked out.
That might just have frightened parliament into accepting it at the last minute.

I think I've got it now.

If parliament accepts the withdrawal agreement next week, the Article 50 period can be extended until May 22nd.

If the withdrawal agreement is not accepted next week, then we have to decide what we're doing by April 12th
Well, parliament won't accept the withdrawal agreement, and probably won't be allowed to vote on it a third time anyway.
And so by April 12th parliament has to sack Theresa May and revoke Article 50.
Theresa May is a madwoman who will end her days in a mental hospital rocking back and forth in a doped up stupor "Will of the people. Will of the peeeeple."

It’s vital we understand what was just voted on. Read the motion extremely carefully: because next week the government could once again try to shaft us with the Commons’ inadvertent consent.
1. The government will seek an extension. Great.

2. It will seek an extension till June to ratify the deal. Fine. Same old blackmail to get the deal through. So what if Commons rejects deal?

3. No commitments whatsoever.
Again, read the motion. It states that the European Council would demand a long extension. It *does not* state the government would ever seek that. May could claim she’d fulfilled her side of bargain - seeking some form of extension - but not the one EU was prepared to offer.

1. A thread on Brexit. A lot of people seem to think that this week's actions in parliament have taken no deal off the table. They have not. No deal is the default, although in a way for some people it's already happened.
2. Ships have already left the UK for Asia with no idea of the customs regime that will apply when they arrive in Singapore. In a way, No deal happened about a week ago for things on the boats and the people shipping them.
We leave by automatic operation of Article 50 at 23:00 UK time on the 29th of March. No action is required for this to occur. Why 23:00? Because it's midnight in Europe and GMT doesn't mean shit to the EU. That tells you who's the junior partner right here, like it or not.

A small thread, about a large subject: The National Emergencies Act. About the only coherent discussion about it and whether it can be used by @realDonaldTrump for border barrier construction has come from @marklevinshow and me. I asked @JoniErnst about it this AM. 1
HH: “If they do not reach an agreement, I’ll come back to that, and the President uses a declaration of emergency, some are opposed to that, because they consider it unconstitutional. 2
I’ve looked at the law. It’s not, actually. It’s not a Youngstown Sheet and Tube sort of situation there. There’s a law on the books that has been used repeatedly in the past. Would you support the President using a national declaration in the event that no deal emerges? 3

1) A little story about "exit polls."

2) The year was 2004. Kerry was supposedly leading W.

3) I was active in a key precinct in Dayton, OH, a true bellwether for ALL of OH.

4) Rs knew if their voters turned out (due to R registration edge) W would win.
5) I was assigned to do "poll flushing." This is when you go to the precinct at 10:00 am and 4:00 pm and check off all the Republicans who had voted.

Then callers will get on the phone to those who haven't yet voted & try to get them out.
6) The first poll flushing was normal and expected #s.

7) I went home and hear Rush going on and on about the exit polling showing a Kerry win.

8) Some of the conservative websites were melting down. "It's over!"

[Thread #17] FORM
Hi all, Asaf Peres here again from @Top40Theory.
This weekend I will spend some time tweeting about form before I pass on the torch to my friend @SongAppeal.
(cont.)
I listen to a lot of Top40 music as well as to pop music by aspiring artists/songwriters/producers, and one of the biggest differences I see between hit songs and songs trying to be hits is how form is approached.
(cont.)
One of the problems is how form is visualized. If you google song form/structure you'll usually arrive at a blog post that lays down a "typical song structure more or less like this:
Intro-Verse-Pre-Chorus-Verse-Pre-Chorus-Bridge-Chorus-Outro
(cont.)
