"The House of Commons Speaker, John Bercow, has said he will 'fight with every breath in my body' to stop Boris Johnson from proroguing parliament to force through a no-deal Brexit without the consent of MPs." Standing ovation time! theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
(I was trying to come up with a suitable combination of emoji to represent a standing ovation, but got a bit stuck. Best I could come up with: 🙋‍♂️🙆‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙆‍♂️🙋‍♂️. I suppose that's more of a wave...)
(Or maybe "Sanbon-jime":

Clear positions
"We want a second referendum"
"We want to revoke Article 50 and stop Brexit"

Unclear positions
"We want a referendum on any Tory deal or no deal, a chance to negotiate Brexit if we're in power, and a referendum but we won't tell you what option we'll back in it."
"Oh, forgot to add, you'll only get that second referendum if you first put our leader in charge of a minority Government, then vote for us in a GE, and then we get an overall majority in that GE, after which we'll go & negotiate Brexit before organising that second referendum."
"But vote for us because we're the party of Remain. [And the party of Leave, a bit, if you're in a Leave-voting area.] We're not fussy so long as you give us your vote. Clear?"

John Major as GNU leader?
Note: I am not saying for one second he'd do it, and probably he *couldn't* even if the will were there. But he seems so sensible when talking about Brexit, and there's no possible way of accusing him of future political ambitions.
(Presumably one way would be to bestow a peerage on him. We've had PMs who were peers before, there's precedent.)

Jo Swinson is making a speech in which she just said she wants to find a way to extend Article 50 so that a referendum can be held.

Sounds so much more sensible than Jeremy Corbyn's "make me PM, and I'll give you a GE, and then... what?" proposal.
Jo Swinson says that a VONC has to be triggered by JC, because nobody else can do so.
"Now, instead of doing everything in his power to stop us from crashing out, he is demanding the keys to Number 10 as a precondition for a vote of no confidence."

Graphene inventor Andre Geim says no-deal Brexit would destroy UK science bit.ly/33AwMhp
Some quotes from Andre Geim's article today, where he builds on his comments to @TheTimes earlier this week: "...we live inside our societal bubbles, either supporting or loathing Brexit. We need to snap out of this mindset." thetimes.co.uk/article/brexit…
If we get no-deal: "Imagine that Boris Johnson and the fanatic fringe push through a no-deal Brexit on 31 October. Would this stop the civil war as many hope? No chance. As for science, the likely economic hardship that will follow a no-deal Brexit would be a disaster."

‼️Boris Johnson is Britain's Donald Trump

– Complete with Breitbart's Bannon and Russia Cover-Up

BORIS JOHNSON

Boris Johnson is/was advised by Steve BANNON – Trump’s campaign manager & VP of the notorious, now-shuttered electioneering firm Cambridge Analytica, which he co-founded in 2014 w/ hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, who also backed the Breitbart sites.
bylinetimes.com/2019/06/12/bor…
📌Johnson and Bannon became friends when Johnson was still Foreign Secretary and Bannon was still in the White House in early 2017.

📌They have been in contact ever since and the fruits of this friendship have been evident for some time

65 MPs present for Michael Gove to kick off the next round of One Nation hustings tonight - quite a bit fewer than yesterday. Philip Hammond in the audience
NEW: Gove formally opens door to Brexit delay

“If we are making progress and are on the verge of a Deal, and we’ve had a good EU Council in October and we’re 99 per cent of the way there on Halloween are we seriously saying we wouldn’t take a bit more time to get the deal done?”
But Gove also says no deal should still be left on the table...

“No department will be more affected by No Deal than Defra and I’ve done my best to mitigate the damage. No Deal would be a challenge but it has to be on the table. It’s not the best option.”

@AaronBastani There's an absolute myriad of problems with your interpretation. 1) This is a poll whose sample of 2017 voters is CON 35 LAB 34. The headline figure is now CON 34 LAB 35 - in other words, no change at all. Which I immediately find questionable.
@AaronBastani 2) The poll includes TIG. Any poll which does this is a nonsense. TIG only have 11 MPs. Do polling organisations ask "would you vote TIG if you have a TIG MP?" No. They comically pretend that TIG have 650 candidates.
@AaronBastani 3) A poll without TIG would, presumably, increase Labour's lead. Any poll with a sample of 35-34 is flawed in itself, given over 80% voted CON or LAB last time. 69% next time? Not plausible. Not unless TIG were an actual party fighting throughout the UK.

Thread: at 09:30 @CommonsEUexit meeting to discuss redacted and edited Brexit economic impact assessments. Is Govnt in contempt of Parliament? Did the Govnt mislead Parliament and the public? Did the reports ever exist in the first place? Let's look at the evidence (1)
(2) In August 2017 then Brexit Minister David Jones confirmed that @DExEUgov had "conducted analysis of over 50 sectors of the economy. Spokesman confirmed that a list of the sectors would be published, but not the analyses themselves. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
(3) So I started asking questions of @DavidDavisMP and @DExEUgov. On 13 September Brexit Minister @WalkerWorcester refused to acknowledge such analyses existed, and refused to publish them. Same story on 12 October when @SteveBakerHW answered.
