Alright, let's imagine the Letwin motion passes, and with no Tory leader to betray, we imagine that parliament happily votes on the 25th to prevent any underhand proroguing
That will leave us at the end of the game. A complete stalemate.
Parliament will never adopt May's deal. No one can get another. And parliament will intervene to prevent a no deal.
Let's count the ways.

Can't leave with a deal, can't leave with none. Can't get a new deal. Daren't have an election.

A referendum is the only thing left
I told you it would all start sorting out as soon as Theresa May was gone. You never believe me.

Well, it's 2-1 to Norway after a penalty, but I don't think that was a penalty. Her boot was normal kicking height, it was not dangerous, she got, and Norway ran into her foot. #FRANOR
France, you idiot. It's 2-1 to France
Everything else I said was right, but you have to change the names over. But I'm right, that was not a penalty

Like I keep telling you, we have already won. Everything now is about the manner of its defeat. The fact of its defeat is inevitable.

Would you like me to explain?
Had this motion passed, the opposition could have taken control of parliament and stopped Brexit on its own initiative.

The fact that is failed doesn't mean Brexit can't be stopped, just not in that particular way.
The Tories haven't got a leader yet. When they do, whoever it is - just say it could be any of them - whoever it is has already committed themself to go back to Europe and renegotiate the withdrawal agreement.
Which we know is going to fail.

Why is it fine if Boris Johnson wins the leadership? Is that a good thing? What?

Because he is publicly committed to renegotiating the withdrawal agreement.
Which he will fail to do.
May's deal is dead, and Johnson kept voting against it. It would be toxic for him to try and get that through after destroying may's government because of it.
So. If Johnson can't touch May's deal. And Europe refuses to offer a new one, what does he have left?
A referendum or a general election.

He can try and win by empty popularity, I suppose, but there's more to it than that.

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

@IanDunt to the point as ever.

“Slipperiest motherfuckers on the face of the planet.”

Oliver Letwin’s motion passes. Parliament IS beginning to get power back to the house.

About sodding time.
So Wednesdays (rather than Grieve’s Tuesdays motion) will be handed over to Parl to control the agenda.

Now it is Beckett’s motion to determine that the Gov WILL seek a further extension from the Eu to avoid no deal.

At least the house is showing muscle VERY late in the day
So the government has to allow a vote on extension IF the U.K. is 1 week away from NO DEAL.

Not great but a lot better than where we were.

Maybe. Just maybe Parliament is getting its Mojo back

“In 12/18, So African intel officials confirmed to me that Banks, who owns diamond mines, had been the subject of two investigations by the Hawks....” (Hawks being, So African version of FBI).
Further, An American lawyer with knowledge of the Mueller investigation, says BOTH, Nigel Farage and Arron Banks are persons of interest in that inquiry. (First I’m reading of Banks being a POI - anyone have info/link on that? 🤔)

What the hell is @jeremycorbyn doing?
Why is he enabling #Tory #Brexit?
Is this the final betrayal?
No, it isn't.
It's the predicted effect of decisions taken 2-3 years ago. All things considered, it's not as bad as it could have been (thanks to #StopBrexit crowd).

Thread.

To understand why, I need to outline 2 important mechanisms that most people, politicians and commentators seem to ignore, dismiss or simply don't get. They have different and somewhat opposite consequences, but are both decisive in the current & foreseeable predicaments.
2/n
1st and foremost: the biggest constraint that applies to political decision-making comes from the past decisions & policies.
It is a massive constraint.
Cameron COULD NOT convincingly campaign for #Remain, because his own policies CREATED the discontent channelled by #Leave.

The UK parliament looks to have lost its moral backbone.
Power is clung on to like a precious ring, and at any cost.
Bungs are pocketed, impropriety is rife even corruption passes unnoted.
How did it come to this?

We are a Nation that has been consciously divided.
#Leave <Divide and conquer> #Remain
While elites polarize opinion alonge tribal lines they can guarantee support despite misdemeanors that would not pass the scrutiny of a united populace or parliament.
Whatever the final result come 29/03/2019 the division will remain and will be used for political/personal/financial advantage for years to come.
Sadly I don't see how the country will ever be whole again any time in the near future and beyond.
Here is why....

Cool, j'ai un exposé à faire sur un article de Virginie Julliard : #ThéorieDuGenre : comment débat-on du genre sur Twitter ?
Fun car ce sont mes binômes qui ont choisi le sujet et que ça tombe direct dans mes intérêts. Je vais faire un LT, ça me servira de notes !
Hypothèse du papier : Twitter produit un débat spécifique, en raison de ses propriétés & de la manière dont les utilisateurs s'en saisissent
