Problem is, a lot of people seem to be excited about Nigel Farage's interview on #Marr this morning for the wrong reasons. Yes, he got shouty. Yes, he refused to answer questions. But if you watch it carefully, there will probably be half a dozen usable soundbites he can exerpt.
It's unalloyed Trump playbook. Show yourself facing off an "aggressive" media that isn't asking the "right" questions and sprinkle with a generous amount of "betrayal" and "attack on democracy". Consequence is, viewers think you lost. But your base by and large won't be watching.
But they might see that 15 second clip somebody forwarded to them on Twitter or Facebook of you facing down that bully interviewer and desperately trying to get him to focus on the thing that matters i.e. the European elections.

Crazy Friday proposal: situate the new (temporary) Parliament building near Heathrow. Reasonable connections to London, accessible from other parts of the UK (or at least certainly no less so than Westminster) and once the Elizabeth Line opens will be even easier to get to.
Shop around, and acquire (or lease for a few years) one of the hotels inside the free bus zone around Heathrow, one with a large enough central conference space to convert into a debating chamber. Keep a few bedrooms as bedrooms, turn the rest into offices and meeting spaces.
And at the end of the period (which, let's face it, will be longer than predicted because you can bet the renovation of the Palace of Westminster will over-run) it can be turned back into a hotel.

Che cosa è successo in questi ultimi due pazzi giorni di #Brexit? E cosa potrebbe succedere nella prossima, decisiva settimana? Prima dell'aperitivo, provo a spiegarvelo il più semplice possibile nei prossimi tweet. 🇬🇧🇪🇺
1. Dunque, Theresa May ieri ha subito la terza mazzata: il suo accordo #Brexit è stato sconfitto di 58 voti, meno delle altre due volte (quando era andato sotto di 230 e 149 voti), ma comunque nettamente. Anzi, stavolta aveva presentato in aula solo metà sul suo accordo. 🤯
2. Ma come solo mezzo accordo? Eh sì. Come il cavaliere nero dei Monty Python, cui mozzano un arto dopo l'altro ma lui continua ad agitarsi, l'ultima tattica di Theresa May e dei suoi è stata proprio questa, apparentemente incredibile. Ma con un obiettivo preciso.

CURSE OF KNOWLEDGE:
This is a powerful cognitive bias, and the one that's probably most responsible for you staying stuck in your dead-end way of doing things instead of breaking out.

What is it?
The mind's inability to remember what it was like to not know something.
At first glance you may think this is a relatively unimportant thing. Completely harmless.

But it's robbing you of your freedom. Here's how.

To understand, we're going to use an example from my life: Magic Tricks.

I'm a professional mentalist; I've performed in Vegas.
I know how the mind works, and I understand why the simple methods of magic are so powerful; they leverage exactly these kinds of mental hiccups. So, here's the example.

I do a trick, and you want to know how it works. You'll do ANYTHING. Pay me $100, even. Great! Pay up!

Quick #Brexit thread on why the Withdrawal Agreement is taking so long to pass Parliament.

At the first run at the meaningful vote in December, 163 MPs spoke.

69 Conservative MPs stood up - but only 27 spoke in favour of the deal, including the frontbench ministers (who must)!
This understates a lot of support for the Withdrawal Agreement in Parliament (because of the payroll vote @addadc is so fond of).

But without the DUP, who remain opposed to the backstop, it is unclear where more support could emerge besides a handful of rebels or independents.
If the Withdrawal Agreement fails (as expected), the PM said there's a real chance of no deal or no Brexit. So what did MPs think?

Some didn't say. But there was massive resistance to the idea of no deal while a significant number (including Tories) backed a 2nd referendum

#b Excellence is overrated, competence is underrated.
Competence is knowing what to do in a situation and how to do it. It is not the same as excellence.
Excellence is dependent on other people, like judges, examiners, teachers, assessors, inspectors, auditors. But we can't control these people and whether they think we're excellent or not.

Here are my favorite quotes from this amazing book. #THREAD
1. "Bitcoin can be best understood as distributed software that allows for transfer of value using a currency protected from unexpected inflation without relying on trusted third parties"
2. "While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problems it purports to solve - namely, providing a form of money that is under the full command of its owner and likely to hold its value in the long run - are as old as human society itself"
