So will Common Market 2.0 and confirmatory vote pass? And is this the combination which will unite Parliament?

Or Customs Union and confirmatory vote?

Or nothing?
Sorry, forgot to add @JolyonMaugham's option - Parliamentary Supremacy! Will that pass?

@JolyonMaugham This BBC guide is good for those scratching their heads (as I am) bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
@JolyonMaugham This confirmatory vote process is a bit like in IKEA when you select the modules for your perfect bedroom and then realise when you get home that the mattress doesn't fit the bed and the lamp came with no bulb or plug or lamp

1/ Sad to share this story of a inquest into the death of an amazing young mental health campaigner, Claire Greaves, who died whilst detained in a mental health hospital. Inquest jury found multiple serious failings. I acted for Claire’s parents. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…
2/ I have acted in many inquests but this was a difficult one. Members of the jury were weeping when giving the conclusion. Credit to Claire’s parents for giving an interview to the BBC bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…
3/ The BBC has listed some but not all of the failings identified by the jury. Hopefully Cygnet Hospital will learn from them.

Excellent piece by @prospect_clark. Long read on why now is the time to seriously consider a written constitution for the UK. I agree! prospectmagazine.co.uk/other/brexit-c…
Basically point is Brexit and the mess surrounding the referendum and attempt to ‘implement’ it have made it even harder to keep putting fingers in ears and pretending that the UK’s hold out over a written constitution is helping more than its hindering our democratic process
An unwritten constitution has advantages of flexibility and can be apt in times of general consensus but Brexit shows that in times of polarisation and instability we need a clear common rule book not a fudge

The AfD is has both an antisemitism and Islamophobia problem. Rees-Mogg shouldn't have gone near them, let alone endorse a speech by their leader
Some useful info here. Seems like AfD hug their antisemites close and when push comes to shove won't expel them and tend to obfuscate rather than object to antisemitic statements by members dw.com/en/afds-jews-s…
It's clear that Rees-Mogg as leader of the Tories would bring with him a tolerance for the populist European right (and Steve Bannon's 'Movement'). I think that is genuinely different and more frightening than some, not not all, of the other leadership candidates.

#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.

1/ Another customs thread. This time on #customs formalities and #Backstop . Backstop envisages a #customsunion with simplifications. It mentions that a movement certificate, A.UK, will be required. No mention of customs declarations.
2/ Movement certificate demonstrates that goods are eligible for trade under a customs union. Is certified by e.g. a Chamber of Commerce. Declarations do more than that. They are entered into the national customs system and enable customs authorities to collect customs data.
3/ Much more info on a declaration than on a movement cert. Some of the most important fields include commodity code, value of goods, country of origin and customs procedure. Would imagine the UK would still like to collect this data for various reasons even under backstop.

On #customs formalities and documentation under various #Brexit scenarios. Procedures and documentation required for customs clearance can be confusing. Particularly, the difference between a single market and a customs union seems to be unclear. /1
Under different Brexit scenarios there will be different customs formalities and supporting documentation traders will need to complete/ provide for customs clearance (from an upcoming blogpost): /2
This is a simplified view - additional formalities are required depending on the type of goods (e.g. agricultural, excise) and other supporting documentation may be needed (e.g. licenses, certificates, value declaration, insurance docs, tariff quota docs etc). /3

Ignore the polls and get out there and #Vote on November 6th. Relying on polling is a relic of a time gone by.
I’m not saying looking at @FiveThirtyEight’s model and charts and stuff isn’t cool, because it is and provides some insight. But no matter what the numbers say, it’s most certainly NEVER an excuse to not #Vote because you feel your peeps are a “lock”
Need nothing further than to point to 2016. Which by the way, @FiveThirtyEight didn’t really have wrong, but the “selected not elected” mindset existed before 2016. Why else would over 100 million people choose NOT to participate in their civic duty to choose their leaders.

Dear Mr Corbyn,

Thank you for your reply (see below).

In light of what you say in your reply, I do not see the point of leaving the EU at all: your plan is in effect EU membership without a British say on how the EU is run or how it develops. That makes no sense.

You say:
You say you ‘respect the referendum result’ and offer this as the reason for ‘leaving the EU in no way other than not having a say in its running.’ That is, you ‘respect’ the view of 37% of an electorate which deliberately and unfairly excluded whole constituencies of people...
a great stake in the outcome (16-17 year olds, EU citizens living, paying taxes and bringing up families in the UK, and our own expatriate community), which was influenced by a dishonest Leave campaign based on lies, false promises, no plan or costings, distortions, xenophobia...
