1. Number 10 says talks today was 'detailed and constructive' - Labour source says they were 'tense and robust' and govt was 'disengenous' to suggest they are offering anything new on customs
2. 2 sides will meet again tomorrow but if today was meant to be the moment when impetus from the election shambles for both main parties spurred them to a constructive conclusion, it was not - sounds like they had a bargy for several hours over customs policy
3. Labour source says ministers more or less admitted they weren't really putting much that was different on the table - they say they will still pursue an FCA, then go to bare bones customs union if that fails, with more explicit language about that in the political declaration

1. So what are the chances of MP s moving to back bill without any more changes now Labour talks have failed? Seems v slim but... two VERY important things to note @NickBoles and @LucyMPowell both pointing out (and frankly they know a LOT about this legislation)
2. As things stand, there IS no route in law to block us leaving with no deal in Oct - if there is no Bill + no meaningful votes, there is no technical route to do it- although the politics look like it's impossible, as things stand don't assume Parliament would stop it happening
3. Those who want another referendum need a way of changing the law to make that happen - without no bill to amend, there is no way they can change the law

Labour sources say ‘no chance’ Brexit bill passes in first week June - is PM trying to use terror post EU elex meltdown to get backbenchers to come onside? Or just in the business of eking the authority she has left, day by day
Doing something is theoretically better than nothing, gives May something to say to 22 on Thursday this week but huge and familiar obstacles still staring her in the face
Week will go Trump visit, Vote on Brexit, Peterborough by election, then ???? (Just saying this now, Vote might not go ahead even tho it’s the plan right now to try to or end date on talks with labour) , then tory activists attempt to put more pressure on May ten days later

1. As we all look forward to another day of arguing about customs relationships in Westminster - senior minister says the point is to 'agree to disagree' but sign off a process that leaves long term customs deal open to the next govt
2. As ever, row over customs has rather a lot of faux rage involved on all sides - govt IS worried about what @NickBoles suggested this morning that clash in Labour over stalling or signing up is a problem
3. Some ministers suspect Starmer playing long to allow Labour time to move more firmly to backing a second referendum - and different to Corbyn position which would sign something off if they could deliver it, but that's totally rejected by sources close to Starmer

I’m incredibly disappointed with the way mainstream media is reporting on this race.

This is not the story about how one mother lost, this is the story about how another one worked to make sure the community WON.

Frannie Griffin is what Ferguson needs.

google.com/amp/s/www.nbcn…
Frannie was on the frontlines of Ferguson. This woman showed up for the community + never left.

For 5 yrs she strategized and organized, learning more about the “halls of power” and how to bust them open for people power to walk through.

This is a well and hard earned victory.
I’m still on a semi-hiatus but i had to log on for this because I know attention is short and this is important.

I personally saw this woman and mother get brutalized, hogtied and targeted for her exercising her power as a citizen.

She didn’t quit.

Thread on @iamsrk ‘s transition phase:

I keep reading on how Shahrukh has lost his Mojo, he’s giving flops, he’s not offering anything new...🙄 Why is everyone so eager to write off an actor, a superstar who has given blockbusters for 25 years? What’s so hurry? He’s 53 now. 1/14
All the three Khans are going through a transition period after having ruled for over 2 decades.. and @iamsrk in my opinion is going through a transition both mentally as well as physically on what kind of roles to take up at the age of 53 and (with his health issues). 2/14
Let’s not forget that every actor goes through this phase once they are 40+. @iamsrk has been fortunate to hit that spot at 50. From Dilip Kumar to Raj Kapoor, Devanand to @SrBachchan and Tom Cruise to Brad Pitt - they all faced a stage in, when they needed to re-discover. 3/14

1. And now I'm going to tell a story. Another false flag. This time is to force @POTUS not to take the US army out of #Syria.
They already have a lot of experience (8 years) to make chemical attacks to accuse the Syrian government.
OH, and they even have a manual.🧐😲🤨
@RandPaul
2. ISIS terrorist? 😲Seriously?🤨 Have they investigated? 🤓And they already know who it was? 🧐Super efficient 🙃.

Preliminary reports say at least six people were killed & 19 injured by the explosion. US official: 4 US army Killed & 3 US army wounded.

3. ISIS took responsability?😲Seriously?🤨Have they investigated?🤓They already know who it was? 🧐Super efficient 🙃.

The Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) took responsibility for the attack that reportedly targeted the US-led coalition’s patrol.

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?
