Rebecca Long-Bailey refuses to say that a second referendum is a Labour red line in their negotiations with the Tories. Witters on and on about all the jobs-first Brexit unicorn fluffy stuff. #Ridge
Stop messing around, and vote for an unashamedly pro-Remain party instead...
Several thousand words later, RLB still hasn't committed to anything. Preview of Tuesday's manifesto?

A fascinating scenario starts to emerge when you play with these opinion poll numbers vs the 2014 results: both the LibDems and Change UK TIG start picking up a few MEPs. Why? Because they're above the threshold in many regions to get *1* MEP, and will never get 2 no matter what.
SE ENGLAND 2014
UKIP: 4 MEP
Conservative: 3 MEP
Labour: 1 MEP
Green: 1 MEP
Liberal Democrats: 1 MEP

SE ENGLAND 2019 BASED ON COMRES 16 APRIL
UKIP: 0 MEP (-4)
Conservative: 3 MEP
Labour: 2 MEP (+1)
Green: 1 MEP
Liberal Democrats: 1 MEP
Brexit: 2 MEP (+2)
Change UK TIG: 1 MEP (+1)
SW ENGLAND 2014
UKIP: 2 MEP
Conservative: 2 MEP
Labour: 1 MEP
Green: 1 MEP
Liberal Democrats: 0 MEP

SW ENGLAND 2019 BASED ON COMRES 16 APRIL
UKIP: 0 MEP (-2)
Conservative: 2 MEP
Labour: 1 MEP
Green: 0 MEP (-1)
LD: 1 MEP (+1)
Brexit Party: 1 MEP (+1)
Change UK TIG: 1 MEP (+1)

I have put together a guide to voting strategically "pro-Remain" in the upcoming 2019 European elections, based on the 2014 results. It's a pretty blunt analogue, because the picture was so different then, but absent detailed polls it's all we have...
drive.google.com/file/d/1ucUzUJ…
The guide (which you can download as a PDF from the link in the previous tweet) is broken down by region (see examples) with a voting recommendation tailored to how the votes fell last time around in each region. If you find it useful, please share it around. Thanks.
IMPORTANT: This is aimed squarely, by design, at people whose first concern is Brexit. It is not meant to be an all-purpose "how to vote" guide.

$Gold trading just above $1318/oz around noon in a very sunny spring London today.

1/5
Gold: Despite the recovery in price from the early-in-the-month weakness, #gold has not seen any large (identifiable) investment flows in March.

The COTR for gold showed only a small increase in net long managed money positions to 5.8moz as of last Tuesday.

2/5
#Gold: Although this may have changed after three decent days of Comex volume Wednesday-Friday last week.

Gold is trading quietly today at 1290/oz. The RSI, at 63, is in positive but not overbought territory and my colleague, Jaspar Crawley, points out that the spot #gold price has made a golden cross, with the 50-day crossing the 200-day (and with positive spot momentum).

1/7
Gold: Jaspar suggests that this may trigger some momentum buying in #gold but I wonder whether the active Comex future (Feb) is more important and the golden cross in this is still some way away.

2/7
Gold: I hardly ever mention the B word (Brexit, not bullion or bars) because I don’t think it matters for the global #gold market and yesterday’s lack of reaction is a partial justification for this stance.

Gold: Good morning. #Gold trading around $1294/oz in European hours on Monday.

1/6
Gold: No CFTC data, as has been the case since 18 December due to the government shutdown, but we estimate that the net long Managed Money position in #gold has probably increased by 2 million ounces to 8.5moz as of Friday.

2/6
This is from an examination of changes in Comex open #gold interest and price moves. Although OI has increased quite a lot, I suspect some shorts have entered the market over the past week, as well as some new longs.

Gold: Back in the office for the first time since before Christmas, its time to look back on #gold's recent performance and what may lie ahead.

1/15
Gold: the recent strength in gold has been helped by some weakness in the US dollar.

But as this chart shows, #gold has run ahead of the weakening dollar.

2/15
Gold: plotting its performance in a number of currencies is another way of demonstrating that the dollar has not been the only factor lifting #gold.

Gold: Tomorrow marks the 10-year anniversary of the failure of Lehman Brothers and, consequently, economists, market commentators and journalists have been rolling out their thoughts on both the financial crisis and the subsequent decade.

1/14
Gold: How did #gold fare through the crisis? This chart, from July 2008 to July 2009, shows no sign of gold moving rapidly higher? In fact, gold fell in the fourth quarter of 2008 as the dollar strengthened and gold was used as a source of liquidity (and sold.)

2/14
Gold: Although in the first half of 2009 #gold was comfortably above the level it was when Lehman failed…

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
