Labour are looking for MEP candidates. Vacancies for many of the regional constituencies here. (Nb folks in the lower part of the list won't be elected) I assume many incumbents would be running again? labour.org.uk/activist-hub/g…
More details here ⬇️
Green party says it's psyched for EP elections, but no further details on the website AFAICS
Nothing about European Parliament candidates from the Liberal Democrats or TIG yet AFAICS, including on their websites, although the latter has applied for recognition as a political party in order to run candidates.
Greens are selecting European Parliament candidates in UK and will announce in the next fortnight - ht @PeteKennedy - greenparty.org.uk/news/2019/04/0…

1/ Amidst the latest attempt by Parliament to take some control over the Brexit agenda from the executive, a short thread on contradictory Brexity arguments about the UK parliament compared to the European Parliament.
2/ Among many false Brexity claims about the European Parliament, you sometimes see the (mostly) accurate claim that the European Parliament cannot initiate legislative proposals. (There are a handful of exceptions to the rule).
3/ Brexiters proceed from this mostly accurate claim to assert that therefore "the European Parliament is not a real Parliament, unlike Westminster". The flaw with this argument is that in practice the executive controls Parliament's agenda. Private members bills need govt time.

Prime Minister: need short further extension of membership.
May: need to know what the extension is for. Wants to sit down with Corbyn. Must involve current withdrawal agreement.
May: aim to jointly agree on future relationship. If they can't, would put options to the Commons. Government would follow the results. Aim to leave by May 22nd.

1/ The EU Council hasn't announced it yet, but I understand the EP and Council have agreed on the law exempting UK citizens from visas for short term travel after Brexit. Next steps in EP below; Council would adopt the law shortly afterward.
2/ Here's my summary of the law on visa waiver for UK citizens from an earlier stage in the process. Note: the EP has accepted the Council footnote describing Gibraltar as a colony. Council accepted EP's reciprocity bits.
3/ Describing Gibraltar as a colony does not alter its legal status, or affect visa waiver for those holding documents issued by Gibraltar. This is a unilateral law so it's not up to UK to consent to it.

Any further questions? My earlier thread (tweet 2) probably answers them.

Luciana Berger cited #Labour becoming "institutionally #AntiSemitic" as a key reason for quitting the party.

Despite all the evidence, there are those who still deny the severity of #LabourAntisemitism. Here's a thread detailing how institutionalised it truly is...
Starting at the very top with @JeremyCorbyn.

He infamously referred to #Hamas and #Hezbollah as "friends". Both organisations call for the extermination of #Israel, and regularly carry out attacks against #Jews. They're also both officially classified as #terrorist groups.
Perhaps the most well-known incident is #Corbyn's attendance at a wreath-laying ceremony in Tunisia in 2014, which honoured the terrorists who murdered 11 #Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Mr Corbyn claimed to be "present but not involved".

1. And now I'm going to tell a story. Another false flag. This time is to force @POTUS not to take the US army out of #Syria.
They already have a lot of experience (8 years) to make chemical attacks to accuse the Syrian government.
OH, and they even have a manual.🧐😲🤨

2. ISIS terrorist? 😲Seriously?🤨 Have they investigated? 🤓And they already know who it was? 🧐Super efficient 🙃.

Preliminary reports say at least six people were killed & 19 injured by the explosion. US official: 4 US army Killed & 3 US army wounded.

3. ISIS took responsability?😲Seriously?🤨Have they investigated?🤓They already know who it was? 🧐Super efficient 🙃.

The Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) took responsibility for the attack that reportedly targeted the US-led coalition’s patrol.

1) Soros, Steyer, Clinton, Obama, Dems & RINOs have overplayed their hand, underestimating those w/ Code in this Admin who revere our constitution. The strategies the corrupt employ now serve to provide guarantee of their own prosecutions. They know this.
2) For those who are unaware, George Soros' security is also funded, not just by him, but by the corrupt UN. Only those not familiar with the level & training of Sec contrators protecting Soros would believe that a bomb received in a package outside his gates would be
3) carried by hand to a wooded area without first ensuring such device was disabled by professionals, if it were even such an explosive device. These are savy contract security professionals.

Which party has the oldest average age of MPs? THREAD
First off, we must thank-you all. We launched a poll on Monday expecting maybe 500 responses maximum. Instead we had a whopping three-thousand-two-hundred-and-thirty votes on our Twitter poll.

That’s ridiculous.
We asked you which party you thought had the oldest average age of MPs.

Most of you, 66%, thought it was the @Conservatives, then the @LibDems (15%), then @UKLabour (14%), with the @theSNP coming in last with (5%).

I bet the SNP are feeling fairly youthful right about now.

I Voted Remain 🇪🇺 #FBPE #ABTV #WATON
@IVotedRemainEU
(Thread) To all @UKLabour candidates in the upcoming May local elections:

Unfortunately I will not be able to vote for you as a representative of the Labour Party; this is despite having been a #Labour voter myself in the past. Please allow me to explain briefly my reasons why.
After the sacking of Owen Smith, I cannot vote for @UKLabour in any shape or form at the moment due to Jeremy Corybn's approach towards #Brexit which I view as highly undemocratic and contradictory to what the Labour party is meant to stand for ("for the many, not the few"?).
The attitude towards #Brexit by @jeremycorbyn and other hardcore Brexiteers like him really is now bordering on the fascist, something I find deeply disturbing. It seems that dissenters are being crushed.
