Ian Blackford: "What an irony that it's the EU that has got the UK out of the mess... We should not be lambasting the EU, we should be thanking them."
Bill Cash accuses Theresa May of "abject surrender" and asks her if she'll resign

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."

Businesses warn that warehouses used to stockpile for a March 29 no-deal are not available in October — as they're already booked for Xmas stock.

"Fox's 'news' team is an essential cog in a corrupt propaganda machine" -- my thoughts on Jane Mayer's Fox expose and the debate over a DNC-Fox debate. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/03/0…
For years, Fox executives and flaks have told reporters and advertisers alike that the network simply has separate “news” and “opinion” sides like any other news outlet. In response to the DNC's decision not to do a primary debate with Fox, the network returned to that defense.
This argument was never credible, but the network’s reinvention as state TV has rendered it utterly appalling.

If you want to stop the rise of right-wing populism, then all you need to do is to restrict immigration. Obvious as this claim may sound, it is misleading. #Thread 1/15
To start with: Politicians from across the political spectrum have embraced this claim, not only conservatives 2/15 theguardian.com/world/2018/nov…
Indeed as @tabouchadi and Werner Krause show, mainstream parties tend to shift toward more anti-immigrant positions when confronted with a successful right-wing populist parties 3/15

Theresa May isn't the only European leader facing a confidence vote today. In Athens tonight MPs vote on Alexis Tsipras's government after right-wing Independent Greeks (ANEL) pulled out over Macedonia name deal.
Tsipras is expected to win, thanks to support of centrist To Potami (with whom, frankly, he should have done a deal in the first place rather than with ANEL). Election due by end of October this year.
Correction: Tsipras gets across the line in the Macedonia vote thanks to Potami MPs but in the confidence vote thanks to ANEL ones

With the upcoming Neil-Gaiman-orchestrated "Dreaming" line at DC comics, I thought it might be time to revisit Neil Gaiman's wonderful "Sandman."

(Sandman: Overture #1.)
It's funny, I was just thinking today about the late sixties paranoia about cultural psychosis and insanity.

Modern pop culture is similarly fixated on the idea of insanity rippling through the popular unconscious.

"Legion", "Westworld", etc.

(Sandman: Overture #2.)
It's almost surprising that it took as long as it did for Gaiman to write for "Doctor Who."

Gaiman's abstract/symbolic cosmos is very much in keeping with Russell T. Davies' approach to concepts like "the Time War."

Why does Twitter deliberately target Right-wing accounts for Shadow-banning and why it will sooner rather than later completely back-fire and why they are ultimately going to destroy the Left and what a great day that will be. Thread. 1/15
It is no surprise Twitter targets accounts for “wrong think” or as we on the #Right like to call it “free-think” this is because of two events which are now totally and utterly inextricably linked, #Brexit and #Trump and the Establishment have been rocked to the core. 2/15
Neither of which were supposed to happen & yet they did now the Establishment is determined never to allow it to happen again or even at all, the reason for them happening was nothing to do with social media, but was to do with people knocking on doors and persuading others. 3/15
