#EUelections2019 are taking place in the UK today and technically that’s all I’m really supposed to say about them...save for the fact that these are very important elections so make sure you take part (and let me know how busy your polling station is....)
The fact that these elections are taking place at all is extraordinary historic. Use your voice.
And if you’re struggling to vote, for whatever reason, let me know about that as well.

For the last 6 weeks I've followed the @brexit_partyuk, from its very first rally to its last. The Tory party might be about to transform. If so, it started with the rise of this new force: an assault on British political life. My special report.
Do give it a watch this weekend if you have time, should set the scene for Sunday evening's election night (which I'm naturally insanely excited for!) With special thanks to amazing producers @LouisDegenhardt @LizLaneSky and cameramen @SamWilliamsNews @Finn_Lehane
The Americanisation of British political culture, is well and truly on its way.

A sad end. But I’m afraid we got here because Theresa May is a prime minister who is very bad at politics.

It didn’t have to be this way.
There will be a lot of bad takes saying “May had an impossible hand, no one could have done it.”

That is completely untrue. When she became prime minister May had complete leverage to define Brexit and set a strategic direction to get there.
The version she chose led us to this moment. The language she used (“Brexit means Brexit/No deal is better than a bad deal”) has been been the midwife to the populism we see now. She, more than anyone, legitimised no deal and made her own task much harder.

THREAD: On the rise of the Brexit Party and what it means for Brexit and British politics.

That’s it, there are no more Brexit Party rallies planned before polling day. I’ve been to half a dozen of them across the country, from the very first week to the end.
Firstly whatever your political persuasion, you have to hand it to Farage and to his team: they have dominated this election campaign. There are a few reasons for that. Firstly their social media operation has been stellar, perhaps the best ever seen in British politics.
Add to this their branding: Farage’s people have taken very old commodities (Farage and Widdecombe et al) and pulled off the trick, through branding, strategy and nifty social media of making it seem something brand new. No mean feat.

According to The @Telegraph, the heads of #UK intelligence were briefed about the contents of the #SteeleDossier before President Trump was made aware of it by @Comey, but notably after the 2016 presidential election had taken place. theepochtimes.com/uk-intel-agenc…
.@Telegraph also noted the involvement of Sir Charles Farr, the former chairman of #Britain’s Joint Intelligence Committee.

The role of the JIC is to “assess events and situations relating to external affairs, defence, terrorism [and] major international criminal activity.”
.@Telegraph reported #Steele met with Farr on 2 separate occasions to inform him of the events and info contained within his dossier.

The first meeting was reported as being one week after the 2016 presidential election in mid-November 2016.

I think it's so funny the moves made by my pd. It's clear as day, and the egregiousness, collusion, violating many rights, outburts in court, lies, gaslighting, and goading even, dude...I got all the emails. Video.
And what judge allows that? My fault somehow, right? Brady Rule, for my own stuff? MP clearly grandstander, put on an act, went way off kilter, lied, slammed papers, it was unhinged, down to misquoting case law.
Seriously, 1.5 yr old subpoenas too. And he allowed it all. This is a shitshow. The Brady Rule, you see that the key. I used it during an investigation that the PD not only knew about, took steps to collude with, knowingly acted against my best interests.

Today, @CER_EU publishes my piece on #Brexit and #JHA. I have been looking at this for 1,5 years so I hope I did not make too many mistakes (links to piece - cer.eu/publications/a… and opens thread)
At the outset of the #Brexit process, most people assumed that a deal on #police and #judicial co-operation was easier to get than one on #trade. Time has shown this is not the case. Ongoing co-op on #JHA is one of the few items yet to be agreed on #withdrawal deal. Why?
Well, because the #EU and #UK's opening positions in the #negotiation are incompatible: Britain wants a #bespoke agreement with the EU, a la #Schengen, but is not willing to accept #ECJ or #EUCharter. EU wants to replicate existing models. What to do?

So, people keep asking - why do we need more black blood donors? Isn’t everyone’s blood the same? You’re racist! ISSA THREAD:
Do black people have ‘special’ blood? Are we being racist? Is race a social construct? 🙄 Let’s break it down.
First up - blood does the same thing for everyone’s body - it keeps you alive and saves lives. ISSA FACT!
