Barrier : No deal threat not “useful” as the WA is the only agreement on offer

ALSO David Lidington revealed that a senior EU official (Martin Selmayr) made a secret offer to the UK to put Brexit on hold for 5 years and negotiate a "new deal for Europe". bbc.com/news/uk-politi…
Striking that Hunt suggests that the problem is that the EU has never taken the threat of No Deal seriously as a credible threat and THAT was the problem.

Not that the Quitters have never taken seriously that they have never taken seriously that the WA WAS the only deal on offer
Barnier dammit.

Big UKIP donor and Mayfair club owner gives £20,000 to Boris Johnson's campaign -

Birley, is Zac Goldsmith's half brother

The Mail reported that Johnson’s team’s Priti Patel MP, met with Nigel Farage, Arron Banks and DUP MP Ian Paisley Jr. at Birley’s

mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
I wonder what they could have been discussing.

££££ in exchange for what?

Of course Goldsmith’s father was also a founding father of UKIP.

Meanwhile Birley recently attended a fundraising dinner for alt-right group Turning Point UK that was addressed by Farage
As @J_amesp points out Kippergate was all about diverting the eye (he should have waved a dead cat) from the behind the scenes alliance between Johnson and the BXP/UKIP Bannon style leveraging the Tory Party ever closer to the Cliff edge of the right

“They say they are One Nation Conservatives, upholding a line of maximum compromise. However, history will more likely equate them with the “White Feather” faction – conscientiously objecting to rescuing the United Kingdom.”

This is a scorcher. independent.co.uk/voices/brexit-…
Oh yes. We are all looking at you @DamianCollins @TomTugendhat @AmberRuddHR @DamianGreen @NickyMorgan01

Appeasing fascism and stupidity is like trying to cure gangrene by feeding it your leg. (Slightly amended from Sean Jones QC!)
I don’t know what it must be like to have been a committed One Nation Tory, as @simontruetory , only to watch the Party you have supported self immolulate, set on a path that will destroy the Union-not because they think it right, but because they are cowards.

Unlike him

@AdamRamsay I was going to Tweet out your Johnson article but saw a link to a 38 degree petition

Could I suggest you use a different site for your petition?

Many many of us no longer trust them since they set up lobbying letters to MPs, without spelling out they supported LEXIT
2/. The pro forma lobbying letter was long and complicated.

Nothing in the comms spelt out that it did not contain requests to support remain or a final say. Nothing to spell out that it was a LEXIT position. NOT transparent

I protested as did many others. No response.
3/. In fact they doubled down.

A while after they sent out a survey for how they should direct their Brexit attention next...omitting choices for Remain or a #FinalSayForAll

Not even an option.

We know when previously surveyed more openly most responded with a request for both

13. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

Wrong US policies in the Middle East. Sanctions against Iran. Sanctions used by the USA as a war weapon🤨👇🏼

When Juncker said today he would « equally respect and establish working relations with any new (uk) Prime Minister whoever they may be » .. the whoever they may be refers to Boris Johnson or another passionate Brexiteer the EU assumes will probably replace Theresa May #Trexit /1
EU doesn’t relish the prospect. They’ve been game planning the possibility of “PM Boris” for months. Mrs May’s Denise hardly comes as a surprise /2
Rather like when Donald Trump became US president, there has been many a European musing as to whether “populist Boris, the arch Brexiteer” might be tamed by office into becoming calmer and (from the European perspective) more reasonable /3

#EP2019 & #Brexit thread. Euro elections this week. EU officials reeling, as UK participation in Euro polls will:- 1) massively complicate discussions over top EU jobs as presence of UK MEPs hurts EPP but benefits S&D & Liberals; 2) make coalition building harder between 3 groups
But EPP, Socialists & Liberal cooperation in Bxl now necessary to limit €sceptic advance; 3) give Orban more power to determine balance between EPP & Socialists - should he choose to leave EPP. Amplifies leverage of Orban's ~14 MEPs; 4) Also complicates life for @matteosalvinimi
Very unclear if Farage will sit in his group. As one senior official puts it: “the logic of him sitting in his own group is that he will want to be chair or co-chair so he can get speaking time in big debates. In the Salvini group there will be a hell of a fight as to who leads.”

NEW: Following plenty of nudges from @eucopresident that patience and a long extension is the sensible #Brexit option... today, Donald Tusk‘s team will today formally tell EU officials from member countries to endorse a long extension until *31 March 2020* /1
A senior EU official has told me that Mr Tusk told officials from the 27 remaining EU countries yesterday that “The only reasonable way out would be a long but flexible extension. I would call it a 'flextension'.... /2
”... How would it work in practice? We could give the UK a year-long extension, automatically terminated once the Withdrawal Agreement has been accepted and ratified by the House of Commons....” /3

Increasingly clear for EU a short extension means until 23 May as European Commission has long been insisting. This is because of elections for European Parliament on that day /1
If UK wants longer extension it’d have to participate in elex for European Parliament. This isn’t churlishness on part of EU. There’s legal concern if UK remains EU member after 23May (it does as long as #Brexit delayed) but doesn’t contest elex then EP wld be unconstitutional /2
If PM goes for short extension till 23 May but then decides needs longer ext, she has to tell EU by 12 April - the date by which time UK would need to organise legally and practically taking part in elex for European Parliament .. so short ext could be really short /4
