Michael Gove to launch £100m no deal advertising blitz *next week* with slogan 'Get Ready'

No 10 toyed with calling it 'take back control' but decided it was too partisan

Comes in the very week MPs are mounting a last ditch bid to stop no deal
Dom Cummings is said to have been intimately involved in drawing up the plans

One minister said of timing: 'Dom Cummings is bringing a sub-machine gun to a knife fight'

Whitehall is ordering t-shirts and mugs with slogan 'Get Ready'
For more in the Government’s £100m ‘Get Ready’ advertising blitz for no deal see The Times today:

We'll hear at noon if Court of Session decides to issue an order making Boris Johnson liable for 'frustrating' Benn Act

Order could bar him from:

* Sending 2nd letter telling EU to ignore request

* Delaying sending letter

* Encouraging other member states to veto extension
If Boris Johnson was to ignore such an order, he could ultimately be held to be criminally liable and face proceedings for contempt of court or misconduct in a public office
Decision likely to be appealed by whoever loses at Inner Court

There's also a petition for the court *itself* to sign and sent A50 extension letter in event Johnson refuses

Petition calls for the court to exercise nobile officium - where the court itself offers legal remedy

EXCLUSIVE

Philip Hammond says Boris Johnson has changed Conservative Party from 'broad-church coalition' into a place of 'ideological puritanism that brooks no dissent

thetimes.co.uk/article/i-no-l…
Philip Hammond suggests in The Times that Dominic Cummings is like the 'Marxists on the Labour left' who see a no-deal Brexit as a chance to 're-order our economy and society'

He says Johnson is backed by 'speculators who have bet billions on a hard Brexit'
Hammond makes the 'stark prediction' that Britain will not leave the EU on October 31 - he says that the Supreme court will intervene, Brexit will be delayed and Boris Johnson will have chance to strike new deal

EXCLUSIVE:

WhatsApp and other social media platforms will be forced to disclose encrypted messages from suspected terrorists, paedophiles and other criminals under new treaty between UK & US

Priti Patel poised to sign data access agreement *next month*

thetimes.co.uk/article/police…
US social media companies will be compelled to hand over information to the police, security services and prosecutors if they make requests through courts

The treaty represents the culmination of four years of intensive lobbying by three successive Tory prime minister's
It's a big step forward for police and security services, who have to wait up to two years to get encrypted information out of social media giants under existing arrangements

They think it's a game changer

BUT David Davis has warned US could abuse it

1/Listening to the C4 Con leadership debate.

All “delivering Brexit”

#Gove. Opened his mouth and lost the first Q
#Stewart. Cleverer response “listened to Corbyn yadda”
#Raab. Kept his voice lower but Blah.
#Javid Same but at least talking about addressing issues.
#Hunt. Same
2/. Politics of fear re Corbyn.

Really pretty wet.

Hope it improves.
3/. #Raab didn’t deliver because resigned as a matter of principle.

This is reallyrather tragic.

At least #Stewart is saying they cannot reopen the WA and challenging #Raab on the HOW?

Especially HOW in No deal.

#Raab really is remarkably dim.

Take back control, part 6349
Hard to know where to begin. Grayling admits he was either lying or ignorant when he denied planes could be affected; seems untroubled negotiations haven’t begun; content to pass buck; and STILL claims all this is a good idea.

Brexit could hardly have a better champion or symbol
*This is literally what happens if we have no deal*. No deal means we ask to terminate all agreements that tie us in any way to EU. We are therefore ASKING EASA not to recognise us. It’s only ‘highly unlikely’ because disastrous incompetents like Grayling won’t be allowed to try

A busy afternoon in the Chamber with 2 Urgent Questions and a Statement from @therea_may. It’s clear after today that we won’t be having anything like a “meaningful vote”, as was promised.
I asked @theresa_may what she had to say to the thousands of young people that took part in the #PeoplesVoteMarch, who didn’t get a say in the referendum. Her answer won’t provide any solace to the next generation.
I asked @DominicRaab how he can reconcile Gov preventing MPs from amending the motion on the final deal with the Leave’s campaign’s promise that Brexit would allow us to ‘take back control.’ He had no answer.
