I’ll be live on BBC News Channel talking about Brexit from a balcony in Brussels in about 10 minutes or so
Turns it was BBC World, not BBC News, meaning only people in hotel rooms abroad will have seen it. I hope that blessed minority enjoyed my black hole joke.

Several pro-referendum Labour MPs/MEPs are gathering in Westminster tonight. Speakers include Owen Smith, Seb Dance, Louise Ellman, Wes Streeting.

Should be an interesting one...
Note: This is not some mysterious gathering I've got wind of. It's a rally organised by Remain Labour. But it'll be extra interesting in light of the NEC decision.
Owen Smith isn’t impressed by the NEC verdict - “I’d like to be a bit more positive about it than I feel I can be.” He says “procrastination” on Brexit will cost Labour swathes of European elections votes. “If we continue to stand in the middle of the road, we will get run down.”

Mixed reactions within Labour to @paulwaugh’s ace scoop. Delegates I’ve spoken to are furious but some MEPs are more relaxed. One said: “It was always going to be shit - the freepost always is” & that it was rushed to be on time. MEPs also report a “v good” policy meeting on Wed.
But a sceptical Labour delegate points out: “Freepost is the only guaranteed piece of literature every household receives.”
What do you know? There is some talk of Labour making very 11th hour changes to its European election leaflet in response to the fury over @paulwaugh & @REWearmouth’s story. “The final draft may not be so final,” an MEP says.

Exclusive: There are not enough warehouses for retailers to stockpile goods for an October 31 no-deal Brexit, business leaders have warned.

Many of the warehouses used in the run-up to March 29 are already booked as they're needed for Christmas stock. businessinsider.com/no-deal-brexit…
A food retailer used warehouses to stockpile 24,000 pallets of goods in the run-up to 29/3. However, none of it is available in October as it's booked for Christmas stock, I'm told.

"Brexit is a pain in the arse which has f**** everything up even more."

You're bored of Brexit, right? Yeah so am I so is everyone. So you won't like this but I have bad news. We will still be talking about Brexit for many more years, maybe a decade - WHATEVER happens. However the events of the next few weeks play out. Think about it (thread): 1/
You think you'll get closure of a sort if TM gets a deal thru Parliament? No. That's JUST THE WITHDRAWAL. Once we're out we need to decide our future relationship. That debate (Norway vs Canada all over again) will take YEARS and may be even more divisive than today's debate 2/
Perhaps u reckon no deal Brexit will be the "cleanest" way out? One quick rip & the plaster's off, right? Wrong. Having left the UK would then spend the following yrs building/rebuilding the institutions, regulations & agreements that allow us to function in the global economy 3/

Really sorry of you aren’t interested in Brexit but, well me, my friends and family have to live it and things are getting pretty fluid right now, so I wanted to pull some facts together about Facebook and the referendum that are worth bearing in mind. Thread! 👇
People like @Anna_Soubry and @ChukaUmunna have been making a good case for @peoplesvote_uk based on the idea that in the original ref people didn’t know what kind of Brexit they were voting for. This makes sense because some people voted leave expecting to stay in SM etc 1/
The problem is the counter argument is also good. The mandate granted to the ref was to decide whether we stayed or left and everyone involved was clear about that at the time. To those with a sense of proportion this isn’t convincing but Brexiteers are people of principle 2/

EU diplomats shrug at what they view as U.K. hysteria over Canada+ or Chequers #Brexit debate. The EU says the choice was never the UK’s alone 1
EU viewsChequers as a U.K. government position. Not an end in itself. Brussels aim: to navigate between Chequers and EU red lines.. 2
Accusation I often hear in Brussels is that U.K. Brexit negotiators are fine wordsmiths but that there’s often little meaning behind the words 3

Thread: How are UK online news outlets covering #Brexit in 2018? More analysis, with more data and charts!

Part 5: **Balance in Brexit reporting**

Which outlets are more positive about #Brexit, and which are more negative?
Running the numbers, it seems that the BBC's articles are most likely to skew positive about Brexit, while the Independent is the most negative.

In the middle, the Guardian and the Mail (the latter possibly due to MoS vs DM stances).
So, how did I reach this conclusion? Readers of previous threads will know that I’ve been analysing the headlines of 2,000 Brexit articles and body text of 1300 items published since Jan 2018.

Once again the @frontlineclub is packed with journalists, @Byline_Media folk, and TV cameras for the latest revelations in the Cambridge Analytica / Trump / Brexit saga from two whistleblowers.

Follow this thread for live-tweeting coverage, and forgive my typos...
... first thing to note is that security has been increased a level or two since last week’s gathering. Two checkpoints against the guest list, and a minder scanning the room.

We’re about to kick off...
... the focus of attention tonight is Shahmir Sanni, joined again by @chrisinsilico who was the focus last week. @carolecadwalla will be joining later when she’s filed at the @guardian
Chris is carrying a large ring binder of documents...
