RT if you think no new MEPs should be announced...

...until all those EU & British citizens erroneously denied votes here and elsewhere in Europe get their votes counted.

#DeniedMyVote
This email is a temporary proxy for a government petition.

I put this into UK Govt Petitions yesterday— but, frustratingly, it takes days to clear.

So I’m waiting on that.
*email = tweet. I need my morning coffee. ☕️🥺

Those final results, expressed as % change from 2015, are remarkable:

UKIP: -82%
Tories: -24%
Labour: -4%
Lib Dem: +109%
Green: +273%

The notion that Tories shed seats because “people just want them to get on with Brexit” doesn’t fly when you look at where those seats went.
I note that there are independents... and many are claiming that a majority of independents are pro-Brexit...

But even if every single one were pro-Brexit (and of course they are not- tons of purely local reps), then it’s still less than the LD-Green swing (well, just LD alone).
Having said that- voter turnout and voter enthusiasm is an issue here. Farage is providing a much clearer clarion call for Brexiters in the Euro elections— and we are currently too scattered on that, without exciting Europe manifestos from parties to put us on front foot.

The Govt response to the petition “Halt brexit for a public inquiry”

...is one of the most disingenuous, unprofessional & propagandist pieces of writing I have seen in a long while:
Starting with the statement that Remain outspent Leave by £4m...

What on Earth does that have to do with legality or inquiry into process?

There’s only one reason for such bizarre whataboutery - propaganda. It has no place in a reply to this petition.
Then there’s the false equivalence of ‘both sides’ having received fines.

Only on one side is there serious & ongoing cases concerning criminality.

Nope. There are no “tariffs within the EU”...

That’s the whole point of the Single Market. Basic stuff. 🙄

And the rest of this is remarkable hogwash too. I encourage you all to watch.
And even if you wish to argue that he was talking about tariff levels of the EU as they pertain to third countries...

...there’s an oft-repeated (eg by JRM, Tim Martin) misdirection here -which is citing EU default tariff levels and ignoring EU trade deals that reduce them to 0.
The classic example is with food, where these characters cite high EU tariff levels on oranges and other fruit & veg...

When the EU has FTA & seasonal deals with countries like Mexico and South Africa to ensure year-round supply of 0-tariff food to UK customers.

The remainer media have gone into overdrive over tales of EU citizens being denied their rightful vote. But, just like bogus tales of Brexit Party leaflets being posted in the same envelope as postal votes, the tales of #DeniedMyVote don't stack up. Thread
Firstly EU citizens ARE entitled to vote in our local elections. They CAN vote in the EU elections BUT, to prevent them voting both in the UK and their home country, they must complete a special form to say they are voting here and not at home.
This is not a well known process; I've worked in elections for over a decade and hadn't heard of the form until 2 months ago. How many people supposedly "#DeniedMyVote" didn't not complete the form and just assumed they could vote like in the local elections?

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO

/1 Another article questions the new sanctions by the #EU & #US against the regime in #Syria as well as its affiliated businessmen. It is stated that the sanctions continue to aggravate the suffering of the ordinary population, which contributes to ecfr.eu/article/commen…
/2 strengthening the regime instead of weakening it. I have to ask a few questions, which are always up for discussion. The author claims at the beginning of the article that outrage alone cant be a policy from which to expect any useful results.
/3 Its clear that to execute these sanctions across all sectors, without a formulation of a real political vision, is a breeding ground for the propaganda of the regime. In this thread, I have also made aware of it.

Here's the truth about Brexit, the "punishment" some people claim the EU wants to inflict on us, the full horrific consequences of no deal, and the dangers lurking behind any deal we reach. Buckle in, it's pretty long. Better to be thorough than to leave anything out. 1/47
To leave the EU, we are following the rules laid down in Article 50. A50 is a short, simple document that explains how a country can choose to leave the EU. (The UK was fully involved with producing A50. Indeed, a Brit - Lord Kerr - even drafted it!) 2/47

As EU members, we currently benefit from over 750 international treaties. Some allow us to trade freely with the EU and 40+ non-EU countries. Others cover a host of other issues, from air worthiness to drivers licenses, UK & EU citizens rights, food safety, etc. 3/47

💣Espionage💣

The servers at TT & Alfa Bank, Spectrum Health & Heartland PS, were communicating via DNS look ups, sharing packet data.

‘GOP, Trump & Rick Gates are reportedly directly implicated in espionage against the US 2016 primary/Pres elex via help from a foreign power.’
💣Espionage💣

Rick Gates, the indicted Trump campaign official and Manafort aide & GOP Operative sought proposals from Psy Group an Israeli intelligence firm to run a coordinated disinfo campaign against US voters to help Trump win the primary & general elections.

.
💣Espionage3💣

Initially Psy-Group offered a social media manipulation campaign which included fake social media profiles that would attack Ted Cruz and discredit him the eyes of GOP Party delegates, who was at the time Trump’s main competitor for the GOP nomination.

This is gonna be long, but I think it's worth it. A well-regarded twitter poster, let’s call him Giorgio, has recently publish a thread stating among other things as follows. “The pathways to stopping or delaying Brexit are blocked.
But once the mandate is discharged, the pathways to UK rejoining, or being in a close association agreement with EU, within the single market and customs union, will be open, with no obstacles.”
This approach annoys me for two reasons, one because Giorgio seems to be attempting to cajole Remainers to put all activity on hold until we actually leave the #EU.
