Highlights from #Ridge interview with Chancellor...
*** Chancellor did NOT rule out second referendum from The #ridge board of options for the nation...but did both revoke and No Deal.
NEW: Chancellor Hammond on Second Referendum: “I’m not sure there’s a majority for it in the House, but it’s a perfectly coherent proposition that deserves to be considered on the list [of options]” #ridge
Sounds like a Number 11 invite to consider Kyle Wilson amendment to pass PMs deal...

Cabinet ministers now expecting Indicative Votes will not be free votes as some demanded, risking further ministerial resignations today.

And yet I reported yday ministers told Brexit date stat instrument will be whipped “sensitively” as whips themselves refuse to vote for it
Barry Gardiner says Labour MPs should rule out No Deal and Revoke in IV (unlike shadow Brexit minister who tweeted yday he would back Revoke to avoid no deal)... and seemed to be against new Kyle amendment unlike Emily Thornberry who said there was a strong argument yday ??!?
Thornberry and Gardiner seem to have a rather different understanding of what was agreed at the shadow Cabinet subcommittee yesterday on Kyle amendment on “confirmatory public ballot” on “any” deal passed in Parliament

NEW: Labour shadow Foreign Sec @EmilyThornberry indicates Opposition will tomorrow back new Kyle-Wilson amendment on “confirmatory public ballot” on “any” Withdrawal Deal and “any” FR brought by this Government... ie not just its “deal”. “That’s going to be popular” she tells me
“The interesting thing about Kyle-Wilson is that it says under this Govt under T May anything that comes back would need to be subject to lock of public vote, that I think that’s going to be quite popular,” Thornberry tells Sky News - shadow Cab subcommittee met today to discuss
Up until now Labour have only backed a public vote on a “credible” deal - which it had defined as its own permanent customs union - now it appears to be backing a PV on any deal the PM manages to push through - her own, Norway, Canada, whatever...

Our @tamcohen has learnt from DUP sources that they won’t back the May deal, and are prepared for a long extension to the process if necessary, should Commons prevent a No Deal...
... DUP MPs were absolutely furious “sick and tired” of yesterday’s Commons statements by PM that the need for the extension arose from N Ireland not being ready for No Deal
The idea that a longer extension would in fact be good for a No Deal or harder Brexit, or at least better than Mays Deal has some support in Tory ERG circles, though not Jacob Rees Mogg - see here from their top legal adviser Martin Howe QC

Ian Austin quits Labour – but doesn’t join the Independent Group specc.ie/2T2lOif
Although Austin has been unhappy for some time, his departure is significant. He is an Old Labour right stalwart - if he thinks the game is up, others could draw same conclusion
There had been an expectation Austin would join Independent Group - but he has ruled this out for timebeing. A couple of factors at play:

Practical way of approaching an #Interview.
(A guide to an exceptional performance for your next interview.)

Thread.
1. Know your resume like the back of your left hand.

Ever gone for an interview and you blank out when asked the question “tell us about your background?” Don’t worry it happens to most of us.
Or they ask a question related to a part of your resume and you begin with “erm erm”
As simple as it may seem, knowing the entire info on your resume from your objectives to your experience gives you 'un-matchable' confidence.

It’s okay if your resume was drafted by a professional CV writer. You should still take time out to digest its entirety.

A scenario/theory: Britain to leave the European Union, with the Withdrawal Agreement deal, but slightly (about 4-6 weeks)
after the current March 29th 2019 deadline.

How this might happen ...
Jan 15th Commons vote proceeds. Government is defeated. Lets say its about 240 votes to 400 (majority 160). Opposition united against (bar a handful). Some opposition MPs explain they oppose both no deal & a referendum but are voting no with the Labour whip to this deal now.
PM says deal still in national interest: no alternatives to it. Labour calls for election: DUP says support govt on confidence. ERG declares confidence in gvt (calling for no deal). Pro-EU Cons confidence (call for referendum)
* Conf vote not put, or is survived. Majority 6-10.

Tight vote even on the timetable of debate on amendments. Govt wins by 321 to 304.
God it's going to be a long two days. Anyway we're nearly ready to go. parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/b8…
They're going to kick off with amendment 110. This covers changes to the power of sifting committee for statutory instruments.

1) A MONUMENTAL DAY: The #KDP has FULLY WITHDRAWN from #Sinjar. I'm completely SPEECHLESS—(well, not completely): Bye-bye KDP!
#Yazidi #Iraq
2) After over 3 years of fighting for this outcome, the #Yazidi community has finally scored a major victory in reclaiming their homeland.
3) After #Peshmerga withdrew from Kirkuk yesterday (for which the PUK was hit w/ blame), the effect continues in KDP-controlled areas today.
