Today is the 4th anniversary of Shared Parental Leave - one of my proudest achievements as Employment Relations Minister.

SPL is good for families, good for children and good for equality in the workplace.

What better way to mark the day than with some wonderful dads & babies?
The govt review of SPL is long overdue - as are the planned improvements. But I know how busy they are making a mess of Brexit, so I've done their homework for them. If govt wants to make work better for parents, all it needs to do is back my Bill. 👇🏼 Photo of HoC order paper with Employment Rights (Shared Parental Leave and Flexible Working) Bill listed
Make shared parental leave a right from your very first day in a job, just like maternity leave is. And extend it to self-employed parents and freelancers.

Looks like absolute scenes in Parliament yet again. Key amendment to secure time for Monday debate just being voted on. Big conflab at the clerks table instead of result being announced. Too close? Disputed figures? Andrea Leadsom now reading Erskine May...
@ParlyApp Now all the huddles are behind the Speaker's Chair. Notable that apart from @amandamilling it's mainly men. Speaker in animated conversations. The official HoC photos are going to be quite something. Now point of order asking what on earth going on.
Speaker says the two (Tory & Lab) Chief Whips have been asked to discuss the situation briefly. It's the 'usual channels' in real-time and with TV cameras...

Voted again tonight FOR a public vote on any Brexit deal, and to #RevokeArticle50 to prevent No Deal.

Voted AGAINST Customs Union and Common Market 2.0 - neither would give the long extension of A50 we need for a #PeoplesVote Ballot paper for Commons indicative votes with an EU flag in the box for a People's Vote
Of course the more sensible way to organise these votes in Parliament would have been to use single transferable vote / alternative vote, so preferences between options could be expressed... Icon saying Single Transferable Vote
FOR-AGAINST

Customs Union 273-276
Common Market 2.0 261-282
Confirmatory Referendum 280-292
Revoke to Avoid No Deal 191-292

HoC can surely find a majority if it combines one of these Brexits with a People's Vote.

On Wed, combination option is what HoC should vote on.

Well, folks, it is almost high noon. If Brexit does indeed happen, it will be the glittering prize for a bunch of crooked, plotting, avaricious extremists who have been ruthlessly prepared to lie, cheat, manipulate & bully all the way through. As we all know, they’ve
1/
been ably abetted by papers like the Telegraph, Mail, Sun & Express, the BBC, an absolutely useless Opposition & a mostly timid, dithering, unprincipled Parliament, who will be remembered for failing the country in its moment of direst need.
2/
Even today, the dark ops on Twitter & Facebook continue as before, widely distributed by far-right trolls & huge numbers of bots peddling barefaced lies, to ensure that the Brextremists get their way & the UK turns in on itself & slinks away to become an isolated bit player

Waking up this morning wondering how on earth a Brexit deal can be salvaged? Remember, we’re still talking *divorce* not future relationship — Ireland remains key. New idea in play: 2nd transition “bridge” to future FTA to stop backstop coming into force politico.eu/article/uk-and…
To those in govt now talking of chucking Chequers for looser arrangement: IT DOESN’T SOLVE PROBLEM. Looser relationship is on offer, but only if UK signs up to Irish backstop, creating separate customs zone in Northern Ireland to rest of the UK
Second thing many MPs don’t seem to understand: the backstop is not a backstop. It is the legal reality in Northern Ireland on January 1, 2021, unless something else replaces it which keeps the province as closely aligned as the backstop envisages: ie UK wide super alignment

Shane is fangirling about meeting Rebekah and Kol, the Original vampires, and bragging about not being able to be compelled. Then Bex tells Kol to beat the location of the cure out of him. Lol. Imagine meeting your idols and they beat the shit out of you.
Back to this. "Truth or dare, Elena?"
"Dare." Damn that's brave.
"I dare you to tell Stefan the truth about Damon."
Sweetie, that's truth not dare, but I am here for this.
"Seriously?!" Caroline being there for Stefan again.
Bex is being really childish though
"Being with Damon makes me happy." HSHDFLK YES IT DOES.
"Makes you happy? Clowns make you happy Elena. Dig a little deeper."
Actually, clowns do quite the opposite of making me happy, but to each their own Rebekah. 🙈

Meet Arthur Jones. He denies the Holocaust, calling it an "extortion racket." He says that he stands “shoulder to shoulder, philosophically,” with President Trump.

nytimes.com/2018/02/07/us/…
Arthur is running unopposed for the @GOP nomination for Congress in Illinois's 3rd District.

He's predicted to lose against incumbent @RepLipinski, but let's not rest on our laurels. We know what happens when someone is predicted to lose then we don't go out and vote to be sure.
