Full letter: Last month’s Chancellor of the Exchequer writing to the current PM asking him to take action to “reassure the currency markets” after recent sterling slides on rising chance of No Deal - alongside 20 other MPs, mainly former ministers.
..so this 21 MP letter was sent before the PM gave this intriguing clip yesterday (after a number of seemingly No Deal +ve developments) when asked about a deal with US - that a a trade agreement with Europe was “single biggest deal we need to do”... 🤔
On a separate but related point, I think twitter could really do with a arched eyebrow with beard stroking emoji

late July, No 10 briefing led to many headlines suggesting talks couldn’t even start until EU ditched backstop & PM was thus “laying down the law”...& £ fell v close to record lows early Aug.

...talks now start, with no EU ditching, which ministers say is “glimmer of light”.
Brexit Secretary in Paris yesterday impressing upon French business audience that No Deal would limit French fisherman’s access to UK waters from which they fish 80k tonnes... and for “talks now” to maintain fluidity for car parts even as third country... fish for fuel systems?
European Commission “refusing to discuss No Deal mitigations” Brexit Secretary says:

even if EU and Ireland completely caved and dropped the backstop, when would there be time to pass a new Withdrawal Agreement Bill? Queen’s Speech debate etc. Also Vote on QS assumes role as confidence vote. Does HM say “we will leave on Oct 31st”? Many Qs.
... so have Queen’s Speech Oct 14, then go to Brussels 17th for summit to get some sort of concession, with message to EU & Ireland - it really is whatever you can give me or No Deal.

Then return from Brussels face vote on Queen’s Speech with message to HoC it is my deal or ND..
Recent lengths of prorogation via @commonslibrary - average of last 7 - 6.5 days - need not last longer than 3 even when Parliament is actually dissolved... researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-…

Missed this - Govt “ditching” NDAs on Brexit preparations that I revealed last year (including eg on plan not to check imports), that trade bodies/businesses told me inhibited their ability to speak out..not likely to yield positive tales re No Deal 🤔 gov.uk/government/new…
Says here “Ministers believe [NDAs] hinder constructive debate & exchange of info, with some organisations eg saying they restrict ability to properly tell members how to prepare for Brexit,” points to vaguely comical fact trade bodies banned from telling members about No Deal...
This is not what they were saying last year when I uncovered the widespread use of these NDAs on No Deal Brexit prep - info kept from eg MPs voting on No Deal. Said it was ”standard practice”:

I’ve had a few followers inquire about my process #writing in 5 acts. Which I’ll talk about it in this thread. By the way, this is my process for outlining and I’m not suggesting you should be doing this or that my way is better than your way, or the only way. 1/
I definitely believe there are more efficient ways and ways of thinking that are better to getting scripts finished which is priority 1 IMO. But there are people who have long processes and if you enjoy exploring through the writing and it’s more of hobby then go for it. 2/
But in my experience the real difference between amateurs or hobby writers and professionals is professionals finish. More often than not. Professionals understand a paycheck waits at the other end but only if it’s done. Hobbyists enjoy the process and maybe they finish. 3/

This is the insanity & silly talk promoted by central bankers globally.

Nobody asks the question.

Last month there was intensive coverage of Sweden Democrats, who were never realistically going to take power. Tonight Brazil might take a major step to electing a far right President yet this election in a far larger and more fragile democracy has barely been covered at all.
All the people who defended their constant Sweden Dems coverage by saying it is vital to discuss this emerging threat to democracy need to ask themselves why they don’t see any need to cover a much bigger threat to a much bigger democracy
A prediction I’ll likely repeat- we will see same kind of bias next yr when hacks descend en masse to Athens to hype up New Dawn 10% fringe in Greece Paul Mason style (“austerity leads to fascism!!”) while ignoring actual radical right rt govt cruising to re-election in Poland

10 minutes late to #SECU and it's moving fast. Catching up. For those following, clause 109 of #c59 #cdnpoli
Conservative motion, similar to with #CSE, asking #CSIS to report annually on the costs incurred due to oversight. Both #NDP & #Liberals argue that this creates a new administrative burden. #NDP argues could be used to try & undermine new review & oversight bodies
Motion fails
