It's funny how many things Brexit ministers promised us would never happen which do indeed actually happen. It's almost like Brexit can be stopped.
When we first realised we'd have to participate in European elections to be able to extend Article 50, some Remainers were in despair. They felt there was no way the domestic consensus would shift enough to accept it. Now here we are.
The consensus can be moved. Things which were unthinkable can be made inevitable.
That's why you keep gunning for this shit. It is doable. Brexit can be stopped.

For people asking: The reason May can bring her deal again despite Bercow's rule is that this time she is bringing forward the legislation, which hasn't been done before.
Previous attempts were just motions - straight yes-or-no to a basic question. This will be a bill enacting the deal.
Downside of course is that you have to publish the bill, which is when all the Brexiters will lose their shit.

Fourth time lucky: May's pitiful gambit politics.co.uk/blogs/2019/05/…
This whole effort is typical of her: Create severe future problems in order to deal with trivial existing ones. That's her standard approach.
It doesn't work. It has absolutely ruined her and put the country in a terrible mess. But she has no other way of operating. It's all she knows.

Game of Thrones. Fucking buggering hell. That was utterly heartbreaking. And completely perfect.
I have now been quickly and reliably informed that everyone hates it. Can't understand that. Craziness. That was exquisitely judged tragedy.
Thrones is at its best when it takes away what you want and when it says something radical about the world. That's what it did here. The behaviour of characters (no spoilers) we saw tonight was seeded well in advance.

#Brexit: ricapitoliamo.

1) La Camera dei Comuni incarica Theresa May di rinegoziare il backstop per evitare il ritorno della frontiera fisica tra Irlanda e Irlanda Nord.

Cioè quello che May ha cercato di fare a dicembre e inizio gennaio ottenendo una lettera Ue di chiarimenti
#Brexit: ricapitoliamo

2) L’Ue risponde subito: no.

Come già detto a dicembre l’accordo di ritiro, backstop incluso, non si può rinegoziare.
#Brexit: ricapitoliamo

3) La Camera dei Comuni dice “no” all’uscita senza accordo, ma boccia gli emendamenti per rinviare la Brexit.

In his blog, Mr Cummings says AIQ "once built some software" for Cambridge Analytica's parent company SCL, in 2014, but suggestions the company shared data with Cambridge Analytica were "ludicrous". bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Leave . EU's co-founder Arron Banks said: "Leave . EU did not receive any data or work from Cambridge Analytica. "UKIP did give Cambridge Analytica some of its data and Cambridge Analytica did some analysis of this.
"But it was not used in the Brexit campaign. Cambridge Analytica tried to make me pay for that work but I refused. It had nothing to do with us."

1/ If you don’t follow Brexit every day, here’s some advice. Let go of any illusions that this drama is about trade protocols, residency rights or the status of the Irish border. Brexit is the story of a proud former imperial power undergoing a mid-life crisis
2/ The rest of the world is left listening to Britain’s therapy session as they drone on about their ex-spouse, unable to see, admit or address their own flaws.
3/ The promise of Brexit was that it would make Britain feel big again. “Britain is special,” the Brexiteers assured British voters, who cast their ballots accordingly. But Brexit has proven that for the first time in modern history, Britain is small.

Morning campers, I’ll be live tweeting from the UK parliamentary hearing into @Facebook, misinformation and fake news today. Here’s what you need to know:
Lawmakers from nine countries are here in London to gripe about why Zuckerberg didn’t show up to speak to them. Expect a lot of that, plus Richard Allan, FB’s VP of “policy solutions,” to do a lot of apologizing
Nominally, this hearing is tied to @DamianCollins’ ongoing “fake news” investigation, which has led UK officials traveling to the US for hearings (on taxpayers £). But to be clear, they have no power to actually legislate

Nice Conversations 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺
@NiceConvos
Good morning. Today seems like a good day to tell you about my conversation with a brexiter, that I had a few weeks ago.
That day I was told to my face that #brexit means they can finally switch out all those EU migrants with better foreigners. /1
This person knew that I am one of "all those EU migrants". And while I've been told way too many times to count that I should "go home" or "go back where you came from", being told that I can and indeed will be "switched out" for something better was a new one to me. /2
There has been a shift, a reframing going on for a while. Back in the early #brexit days, any foreigner was bad. Then followed the phase of bad EU migrants (e.g. "those Poles! Those Bulgarians!"...) and good ones ("we don't mean you!, You'll be fine"). /3

1) An absolutely cracking exposure of @DanielJHannan and his #Brexit foolishness. This is what happens when you spend your life campaigning to only to destroy something, and when you are prepared to lie with dogs to get the win.

newstatesman.com/politics/brexi…
2) before the ink was even dry on the ballot papers he was dumping leave voters & their concerns and appealing to Remainers:
"Let's compromise on Norway, let's all try to agree that the middle ground is the one I wanted all along, with FoM & members fee"

3) it was all a game to @DanielJHannan , look the other way whilst Farage put up.posters of "foreign swarms" & Vote Leave said "the population of Turkey is moving to the UK next week"
Let the leave masses be mobilised, used and dumped as soon as possible
