It doesn't.
This is really crappy. Keir is a QC. He knows very well that the Bill doesn't have this effect. Indeed, I believe it doesn't have any legal effect at all. Theresa May could sidestep its provisions entirely by stonewalling on what she would do with an extension.
Hard to avoid concluding Keir's nonsense is an attempt to defend Jeremy Corbyn's lie that Labour was "supporting all options... to prevent... No Deal being forced on the country" at a point in time when Labour was not supporting Parliament being given a vote on avoiding No Deal.

This, for me, is the great mystery of Brexit. I've never understood how it happened or why it happens. Why is it still politically potent to badge as an "ideological" position one held by a majority of the country?
If you've heard me speak you'll have heard me try and articulate the - for me genuinely shocking and incomprehensible - act done to our language by the Referendum. How did it become, how was it made, taboo to talk of Brexit not happening? I keep looking for an explanation.

If you want to increase public spending ditch Brexit altogether. Keeping it involves only degrees of bad.
Here is what we can see about what has happened to our economy since we voted for Brexit (chart from the independent Office for Budget Responsibility).

One of the many profound privileges of running @GoodLawProject is that leading specialist lawyers in the country will give their time for free to help you find ways for us to litigate points like this 1/3 carbonbrief.org/analysis-why-c…
We are looking to ask the courts to address questions of law that chime with the irresistible question put by schoolchildren to the generation that holds power and is burning the planet: "what about MY future?" 2/3
Though this is a profound privilege it also takes resource of which we have little: only one paid person working three days a week. If you can help we'd appreciate it (and please sign up to our mailing list). 3/3 goodlawproject.org/membership/

#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.

3/n

Okay but a Taekook au where Jungkook’s girlfriend starts to flirt with Taehyung and Taehyung dodges her every time until he finally snaps and tells her he’d much rather fuck her boyfriend than fuck her.
I really didn’t think a random idea would get this many likes but what you want is what you’ll get
I’ll start this tomorrow or possibly tonight 🧡

He wakes up once again to an empty room. He looks for his phone which he finds at the dresser with his car key. His shoes neatly arranged next to the closet and curtains drawn.

He checks the bathroom but there is no sign of the younger.

Failing to have his call picked up,
he sends a text and starts to feel anxious.

Did Kyungsoo run away?

He opens the closet and finds their bags with their wallets inside. It means the other only has his phone with him.

And he's not answering any calls and texts.

He's seriously getting worried.
If before, he could contact his cousin and ask of his whereabouts, right now he doesn't have anyone to turn to.

Just then the door opens, revealing a drenched Kyungsoo. The younger just stands there, at the doorway with a bashful smile.

"What happened to you? Why are you wet?"

Shane is fangirling about meeting Rebekah and Kol, the Original vampires, and bragging about not being able to be compelled. Then Bex tells Kol to beat the location of the cure out of him. Lol. Imagine meeting your idols and they beat the shit out of you.
Back to this. "Truth or dare, Elena?"
"Dare." Damn that's brave.
"I dare you to tell Stefan the truth about Damon."
Sweetie, that's truth not dare, but I am here for this.
"Seriously?!" Caroline being there for Stefan again.
Bex is being really childish though
"Being with Damon makes me happy." HSHDFLK YES IT DOES.
"Makes you happy? Clowns make you happy Elena. Dig a little deeper."
Actually, clowns do quite the opposite of making me happy, but to each their own Rebekah. 🙈

Well. I wasn't expecting to wake up on this glorious Sunday morning to news that Donald John Trump admitted to collusion in a tweet.

A few thoughts.
1. He thinks he's above the law and nothing he says matters because the Russians will secure the House and Senate for him in November.

2. That, of course, is possible. His yearning after Putin and Kim indicates a man who wants that kind of license.
3. However, he knows very well that he doesn't, and never will, have that kind of power. That, in fact, as president*, he's constrained in a way he never was as a private citizen. That's making him stark raving mad.

(THREAD) BREAKING: The Senate has released the transcript of Donald Trump Jr.'s testimony—and it confirms he lied to Congress just has he's lied to the American people about his contact with Kremlin agents. This thread is an analysis of his testimony—I hope you'll read and share.
1/ First, understand that "agent" is a legal term. An "agent" is a person authorized by another person to act in their stead—and with their authority—in performing a task. If the authorization is for a specific task, the agent is a "special agent." If general, a "general agent."
2/ Sometimes, a "principal"—the person who authorizes an agent to act in their stead—will authorize his or her "agent" to *themselves* use new agents in the performance of their authorized task. So, Principal A may authorize Agent B to use various sub-agents to accomplish a task.
