You can see the sense in this, but the notion of implication doesn't seem to have much effect on MPs right now. They're more concerned with what's in front of them and answering to their base on how they voted on it.
So the fact that we'd take part in European elections can be waved away as the fault of May's weakness, or Remainers. But the vote on the deal is personal.
Anyway I refuse to give a fuck about any of this right now. But tomorrow will clearly be another day of hell, at the end of which we'll end up exactly where we started.

OK, debate begins on May's third-meaningful-vote-it's-not-a-meaningful-vote-but-actually-it-is-she's-a-desperate-liar.
Rattling boombox Geoffrey Cox is up for the government. "This should've been the day we left the European Union," he says.
"I do not intend to review how and why we have arrived at this point." Bet you don't mate.

Humphryd tough questioning to Liam Fox: if we don't Leave properly what do you think will be the reaction?
'A lot of this has been manipulated by MPs who think it's best we do not leave the EU'. That's Humphrys talking, not Fox.
Did he ask the government minister what he wanted to talk about before the interview and then decide to say it himself?

Truly terrible to try and separate withdrawal agreement from political declaration.
The backstop constitutes the most significant self-imposed downgrading of this country's status in its lifetime. Without the political declaration, you cannot assess how likely it is to come into force.
The withdrawal agreement simply cannot be evaluated on its own.

NEXT UP from the CAT-e-GORY division: Sea Lion (1) vs Tiger Quoll (7)!!! #2019MMM

[this has been a team effort between moi & @chumblebiome]
In one corner we have our 15-stoat lightweight tiger quoll, the Cinderella of #2019MMM! He's snacked on catbirds, sat back & relaxed while nimravids duked it out, & scared off (he thinks) the fig-fascinated bear cat in Malaysia! #StoatsAsMeasurement
In the other corner we have our 1300-stoat heavyweight California sea lion. He's smooshed the antlion, smooshed the catshark, & smooshed...uh, I mean, dallied while the tiger owl drowned in [REDACTED]. #2019MMM #StoatsAsMeasurement

This is not merely the latest @AOC Viral Clip, nor would I think she'd want it to be. It is a clarion call. The Midwest is flooding right now, as is Mozambique. Climate change is ending American lives right now, and many more all around the world. Wake up.
Cyclone Idai submerged 835 square miles of homes in Mozambique. That would more than cover Boston, Chicago, New York City, and Washington, D.C. combined, per @EricHolthaus. After Mozambique requested help, Trump waited three days to say he’d provide it. buff.ly/2uskiI4
Cyclone Idai’s death toll is catastrophic. At least 700 in Mozambique, Malawi, and Zimbabwe—and now @guardian reports diagnoses of the first cases of cholera amidst the squalid conditions after the storm. Yes, these are also the costs of climate change. theguardian.com/global-develop…

A brief (?) thread on the yield curve. As you may have heard, long-term US interest rates are now slightly below short-term rates. This doesn't happen often – and as far as I can tell, each previous instance has been followed by recession 1/
The thing is, nobody thinks this is a causal relationship: an inverted yield curve doesn't cause a recession. Instead, it's telling you about average investor opinion: bond buyers see economic weakness ahead, and believe that the Fed will be cutting rates 2/
There is, however, a twist right now which makes the inversion even scarier than it looks, at least a bit. Previous inversions took place at much higher short rates -- 5 or 6 percent, versus 2.5 percent now. This matters 3/

I am back for the Wednesday afternoon session of #USCCB18.
To be honest, I'm not sure what to expect this afternoon, and neither is anyone else I've spoken with. There are a few things it *seems* the bishops would want to do before executive session, but the printed agenda went out the window, so I don't know what the plan is.
#USCCB18
One thing to be sure of, there's a lot of meeting to go. Quoth Dynamite:

Cause we gon' rock this club
We gon' go all night
We gon' light it up
Like it's dynamite!

Cause it goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
