Interesting conversation here. It splits into strands as people reply to different tweets.

Raises a number of questions.

1. Is it enough to challenge "no deal" on the grounds it can be seriously damaging to the economy or some parts of the economy? (Response: "project fear")

2. Do people really see "no deal" as an end-state relationship with the EU? (Sometimes "yes" because some people think that's just trading on WTO terms, which they think is good. Sometimes "no" because they think this will force the EU to cave in to whatever the UK demands)

3. Can we blame journalists and politicians for failing to respond to every false detail? Eg, is it journalists' fault that they don't know what GATT Art24 says or the difference between an interim & final free trade agreement? (In general "no". But when it becomes a big issue…)

This is a new #DarkPattern Went read this Motherboard article (on my iPhone) & a cookie/tracking notice was embedded in the article appearing like an ad you might skip. Sneaky motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/…

Visting the article on the desktop gives a different (& increasingly standard yet poor experience & more #DarkPatterns).

Okay, now gonna lie, I kinda flopped early with a headache yesterday, so let's get started on today's Anne chapter. It's gonna be a very long one! #LainaReadsAnne

#LainaReadsAnne So, it's September, and school has been in session for a couple weeks. The way Anne and Diana walk there is super nice, gorgeous and also less dusty and hot than the main way.

#LainaReadsAnne Let me point this out. "Anne thought those walks to and from school with Diana couldn't be improved upon by imagination."

That's just sweet.

And also super queer am I wrong I am not

Bill Barr's confirmation hearing is about to begin. Follow me for a video thread.

@LindseyGrahamSC

.@LindseyGrahamSC: "The times of which we live are very difficult times. I don't see them getting better overnight... So about me... I'll be as measured as possible. The immigration Lindsey will show up. But the [Kavanaugh] guy's there too. I don't like him any more than you do.

@SenFeinstein

.@SenFeinstein tells Barr, "your [memo criticizing the Mueller investigation] shows a large, sweeping view of presidential power... [and] raises a number of questions about your views of executive authority and whether the president is in fact above the law."

THE KEMI ADEOSUN NYSC SAGA
I have been meaning to do a thread on Kemi Adeosun for a while now, as I considered her to be the most reform-minded Minister in the current govt. We will get to that later but let’s first deal with the NYSC saga that led to her resignation. Thread...

@PremiumTimesng

Let’s start with the Kemi Adeosun resignation letter. She said that she had become privy to the findings of the investigation into the allegation by @PremiumTimesng that the NYSC Exemption Certificate she presented was not genuine. She said she was shocked by the findings.

We are not yet privy to the findings of that those investigation but it is safe to assume that the investigation determined that the Exemption Certificate she presented was not genuine. She therefore felt that she had no option than to resign. I hope that govt will publicise it.

Not so long ago, the Russian pro-opposition outlet The Insider, together with the "expert group" Bellingcat, published an investigation about the MH-17 plane crash. I'm gonna try to explain the arguments of @cyberberkut2 about this investigation. #thread

In this article, 'journalists' tried to show that the Russian government is directly responsible for the Malaysian MH-17 crash, which was shot down over the territory of Ukraine in 2014: bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu…

In particular, the article features the name of Oleg Ivannikov, whom journalists call the "Commander of the GRU", working under the pseudonym "Oreon". According to the editors, he is the main suspect involved in this case.
