BREAKING

Rapid action currently underway by Conservative Ministers to delete all tweets where they assured voters they wouldn't prorogue or shut down parliament.
...and now..

...the Chancellor's media adviser has just been escorted out of Downing Street after being fired by Dominic Cummings.

Its like the Trump White House on Thames now.
Reports that Dominic Cummings has personally sacked at least 3 members of the Govt's admin & media team in the last 24 hours incuding the Chancellor's media advisor.

Something very wierd going on right now in govt for this to be happening.
Mainstream media today confirming my story from yesterday that Dominic Cummings is now sacking multiple advisors above the heads of supposedly senior cabinet ministers.

BREAKING

Sajid Javid, Chancellor of the Exchequer, is to be deprived of policy power with all major economic & financial decisions to be made through Dominic Cummings & his team at Nr. 10.

Quite unique in modern history.

Very small thread on why both many Remainers & Leavers are missing the point with "Boris' renegotiations" - the worst thing for Boris Johnson is if the EU actually accepts an amended deal.

If this happens Boris Johnson will be destroyed - consider the following...
2/
Any amended deal would still have to address N Ire problem, The Tories have spent the last year trashing the WA an amended one even with some changes wont bring a golden age utopia - simply because nothing ever does - what it will bring is continual negotiations with the EU..
3/
Whats more the EU are hardly like to soften up backstop & then give ground on £39bn, EU citizens rights etc aswell. In other words Boris is a victim of his propaganda - his support depends on "all out victory" against EU or no deal.

But what if EU offer small concessions?

 I see many people on here are calling out Boris Johnson's "do or die" Brexit strategy as mad or stupid. Its not.
Its quite smart once you realise the real aim is not Brexit - its to win the next election.

Here's why...
2/
 Johnson was never really a hard Brexiter - what he wants 1st is to be PM. But Brexit is a disaster you say - he'll lose.
No the real plan is a trap for Labour - to force Labour (& some remain Tory MPs) into a situation where their only choice is to vote for Brexit or no deal.
3/
 The trap for Labour is to get them to "dip their hands in the blood" of Brexit or be responsible for no deal.

If Labour leave it to Johnson to determine the final date vote in October - Labour & remain will have lost.

 So here goes a small thread which might annoy some leavers & remainers - on why there is some logic behind Boris Johnson's Brexit strategy.
His strategy makes some kind of sense but only if you understand Boris is not bluffing the EU - he's bluffing another group(s) entirely.
2/
 Johnson must know he cant just bluff the EU into conceding his red lines - thats not the point.
Johnson's battle is to win the next election - thats more important to the Conservatives than the final form of Brexit that eventually emerges - likely years down the line.
3/
 The Tory Party always wanted a deal but so long as no one believed May's no deal bluff then the choice was always between her deal & delay or even revoke.

Johnson's aim is to give Parliament & the Labour Party the choice between a deal & no deal.

If he does that, he wins.

If we want to galvinize the masses to vote (and presumably to protest), we should be honest about hacking concerns, per a Harris poll conducted in 2018 and cited by @NewYorker. 1/
In a similar vein, As I discussed in this piece for @DemWrite, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2004 was triggered by the public’s knowledge that the election was fraudulent! demwritepress.com/2018/11/04/dem… 2/
In fact, there are glaring parallels between Ukraine’s fraudulent 2004 election and the US presidential election in Ohio 2004, including potentially the SAME ACTORS. 3/

There it is, confirmation Johnson wants to shut down Parliament. What will those Tory ministers who said they would never stand for that, like Hancock, do now that they are in Johnson’s Cabinet?
Exhibit 1- Matt Hancock, currently Sec of State for the NHS.
Here's what he said about proroguing when he was in the Tory leadership campaign. Lying then or now?
#Prorogation
Exhibit 2 - Nicky Morgan, currently Sec of State for Media and Culture
Here she says she would support legal action against the prorogation of Parliament. Lying then or now?
