Local elections today. Euro elections May 23rd. And then some time in June an EGM of local Conservative Associations to descuss May's leadership.
Which is useful because it means the national Tory party will be meeting hot on the heels of two elections which both promise to be devastating.
And then the DUP agreement is up for review in July

The Tories only want to leave the European Parliament. They want to stay in every European institution, but cut us out of the parliament. Why?
I will you give you some seconds to jot down your answer . . .
It's all about one person - Nigel Farage. He is a constant thorn in the Tories, and he will be as long as he's got any democratic presence.
The Tories can't abolish the European parliament the way they once abolished the GLC to deal with Ken Livingstone. So what they do is try and resign the whole United Kingdom from the parliament.

Change UK, "The Indepndent group" They've got a website, and I'm going to see how long it takes me to find their Europe policy
"It doesn’t have to be this way…
We are a new party to speak up for mainstream Britain and bring our country together again."

Together how? They don't say
"These European Parliament elections offer the British people the chance to send a simple message: it’s time for change."

Yes, but what change? It doesn't say.

Today I read this article goo.gl/uYwFm8 & wondered what had become of James Bundy. He remains a member of the #Tory party with a interest in National Identity goo.gl/AbwRad We have seen the rise of identity politics in the #USA & #Europe
The rise of right wing populism in politics resulted in this latest episode goo.gl/PL1zjW Strange is not then when Tories are in power division and hate grows.
Back to the article on Bundy and #Antisemitism I wonder if @TracyAnnO feels that it was appropriate for someone who had made antisemitic comments to be reinstated in the #Tory party? @shaunjlawson @simonmaginn @upsadaizy

Today is the #Euro's 20th birthday. It's been a turbulent second decade for the single currency. While the Euro has survived, and in many ways been successful, the fundamental political and economic problems laid bare by the Euro crisis remain 1/ #EUROat20
In 2011, I discussed the economic and political reasons for European monetary integration, as well as the political economy of the crisis. The core problems and barriers to real policy solutions I discussed then largely remain today 2/ video.wpt.org/video/universi…
In 2015, I wrote about the Euro crisis in the wake of the Greek referendum. While the Euro has survived and Grexit, thus far, has not happened, the existential threats to EMU in the long term remain 3/ washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-ca…

A short thread on how we got to where we are:

#Tory Party 2015:

Cameron:
Those extremist Eurosceptics in my party need to be stopped.
I'll call a Referendum on Europe once and for all
I'm a winner, I've just won a GE no one expected & Scottish Indy campaign
I know how to win
#Tory Party 2016:

Leaver #Tories: Let's
Take Back Control
They need us more than they need us
Those German Car makers will get Merkel to give us a good deal
It'll be the easiest trade deal in the world

People: Ok - let's #Brexit

Cameron: I know I started this but I'm off
May:
I'm here.
Strong and Stable.

May:
There will be no General Election till 2020
We will be out of the Customs Union
We will not be under ECJ rule
I'll remove your rights to live & work in EU but I'll call it a good thing because Immigrants are bad

#National Security & The #BokoHaram Insurgency: On The Most Pressing Challenges Currently Facing The @HQNigerianArmy's Operations
@HQNigerianArmy 1. None to the exclusion of the other, the operations are as intensely dogged by issues which stem from the human factor ( MANPOWER) as they are majorly constrained by issues of logistics and ewuipment (MATERIEL)

#Tory conference on the horizon & the 'no deal' #Brexit vultures circle the carcass. All the usual suspects incl' Littlewood, Singham and @SteveBakerHW for the IEA. @isaby, @Jacob_Rees_Mogg, @DanielJHannan, @patel4witham, @andreajenkyns for @matthew_elliott's BrexitCentral......
Thick as thieves...... Hannan and Singham again, Bromund of 'Anglo-American Relations,' Steifel of the Cato Institute, for the Heritage Foundation. The IEA again, this time with Arlene Foster and Nigel Dodds of the #DUP.
Flies on a turd..... Elliott's infamous 'Tax Payers' Alliance,' with Priti Patel again, and, of course @LowTaxChloe. The Bruges Group, with Patel (again), Jenkyns (again) and @OwenPaterson.....

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.
