...Boston Tea party celebration from the US scorer Morgan after her goal... higher class of wind ups in the women’s game....

Quite annoying... Or as Kevin Keegan once nearly said “I’d just love it...” if the Lionesses now won with a really controversial last minute VAR penalty...

Matters looking rather ropey in the Brexit negotiations. There’s apparently now nothing substantive planned until Biarritz G7 meeting at end of month. You’d expect the sort of briefings emerging from Brussels tonight, and a pinch of salt required etc BUT...
... sending the message that they have interpreted the new negotiator Frost’s meetings as consistent only with leaving with No Deal and calling a GE.. “they can’t climb down from this”...
They recognise that the UK Government is now trying to isolate and put personal pressure on Irish leader Leo Varadkar. So they purposely sent a message of full support for the Irish at the EU Council debrief... and for the backstop etc.

There is some truth to this - the Fixed Term Parliament Act does clearly give the incumbent PM the role to set the date of the election, ie potentially after Oct 31st... but the physics of this manoeuvre, indeed even being seen to brief it could reap quite the opposite by Sept...
Here is the relevant bit of the FTPA - section 7. Even after a hypothetical loss of a vote of no confidence, and 14 days elapsing without regaining it “the polling day for election is to be appointed by HM by proclamation upon the recommendation of the PM”...
... but if seriously contemplated, you’d have a Government headed by a PM who lost confidence vote on 2nd Parliamentary sitting of his office, having never won one, nor won an election majority, pushing through a significant irreversible outcome, explicitly voted against by HoC..

Carney: Bank working to ensure financial system works whatever form Brexit takes...

But financial stability is not market stability, in no deal no transition Brexit... preparations cannot eliminate fundamental changes... businesses expect output and employment to fall in No Deal
Carney says his former colleague the Trump official Gary Cohn was “wrong” to tell @BBCJonSopel that No Deal is preferable to continued uncertainty - said its always better to get a deal with a transition
I ask Carney if Downing St should rely on a massive monetary stimulus from the Bank of England in event of No Deal: “it depends” he replies - points to inflationary impact of tariffs and sterling falls.

Says No Deal, uniquely will be simultaneously both a demand & a supply shock

Death to America Squad and The New Face of Politics in America newswithviews.com/death-to-ameri…
Both political parties and upper echelons of federal civil service are damaged beyond repair their decisions influenced by wild ideologies and outside forces and not forgotten Americans – Washington’s perceived serfdom.
Human frailty and fallibility too often succumb to cultural pressure tilting dangerously away from what’s good and necessary. Unless there’s a deep cleansing of all branches of our government including senior career civil servants, the problem will not resolve.

Happy Independence Day America.
Always remember you live in the greatest country in the world.
You live in a land where you're free to pursue happiness, you may not find it, but you can try.
Remember how this Experiment called America came to be.
Where Brave men and women stood up to the most powerful Military in the World at the time, The Red Coats or British. We were just some folks who said enough with all these taxes, no taxation without representation, sick of a Tyrannical Parliament,
endured The Boston Massacre. December 16, 1773 we staged the first act of Defiance against Britain, The Boston Tea Party, where we dumped 342 chests of English Tea into the Harbor and basically gave the Old Brits the One Fingered Salute. Some people don't

Northam should resign. That said, I find it interesting that all of the conservatives who love to complain about “the Twitter mob” seem suddenly unconcerned about Twitter mobs.
1. I don't think this is just a matter of hypocrisy. I think it tells us something interesting and important about the folks who are often most concerned about "Twitter mobs." They are not afraid of "the mob" qua mob, they are afraid of what that supposedly mob stands for.
2. After all, I don't know how to describe what happened on conservative media in regard to Northam's recent comments on abortion other than "a Twitter mob." Virtually every single conservative with a large number of followers jumped all over Northam as a defender of infanticide.
