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.

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

If parliament backs a customs union in the indicative votes, why shouldn’t it back May’s Withdrawal Agreement?

First, let’s be clear: the backstop is a misleading name. In the absence of any known alternative, it isn’t a fall-back but rather the default.

(1/11)
Given the absence of alternatives for the Irish border, and the fact that the withdrawal agreement has no mechanism for exit and allows only for a one-time extension of the standstill transition, the backstop must be assessed as the future destination (see Robbins, O.)

(2/11)
But for advocates of a soft Brexit—including the Labour party—why should this matter?

The problem is the lack of control—too little attention has been paid to the risks of being within a customs union without a say.

Shall We Dance?

In which Jeong Guk needs a contemporary dance tutor and Ji Min is the best. However, the lessons don't quite turn out as planned.
This is my first social media AU, so please be gentle. There is quite a bit of NSFW content, although I don't plan on adding any NSFW pics.
Please disregard timestamps, retweets, and likes. Also, the hair colors may not always be the same. I tried, but it's so hard.
I hope you all enjoy the ride!

[Thread] I went to Disney World over Thanksgiving break. It's one of the busiest seasons of the year. The crowds were intense, and the lines were LONG. People were not on their best behavior.
After walking all day long, and waiting hours to get on rides, grown adults threw full-on temper tantrums. At one point, the restaurants ran out of turkey legs. People were angry and combative.
They were tired, they were hungry, and they had been standing in line FOREVER. Some were dealing with small children who aren't the easiest to deal with under IDEAL circumstances, much less tired, cranky kids waiting in boring lines.

In an ordinary town, on an ordinary street, there is an ordinary house. A little older than any other house, but ordinary, nonetheless. If you passed this house you wouldn’t think twice about it. In fact, you wouldn’t think about it all.

(1)
Unless.

(2)
Unless she wanted you to think about it.
If she wanted you to see the house, you would. You would want to go to this house and you would want to walk up to the door.
