Govt sources confirm all 21 rebels are being kicked out - including the man who was Chancellor until a few weeks ago and Churchill’s grandson BUT.... Leadsom just suggested to @BBCVickiYoung that if they change minds tmrw they might have another chance ... hmmm
Meanwhile Labour confirms officially they WILL support motion to have General Election if and as soon as law is changed to rule out No deal
Clarification - seems Leadsom was being a bit optimistic, all 21 out in ALL circumstances

Morning-in no particular order
1. Opposition leaders gathering again this morning to plan next steps
2. Julian Smith not resigning (not yet)
3. No 10 is looking at different ploys so extension doesn't happen if no deal, aware it might end up in court
4. One option suggested by Cabinet minister privately is political side letter, as per Telegraph this morning
5. Meanwhile Cabinet ministers pressing Number 10 to show more evidence of attempts to get a deal - Dublin visit today might be key
6. Lord Sumption, senior legal brain, has just told @BBCr4today a double letter wheeze would be likely to be illegal

1. PM heading out of Westminster today to crank up calls for an election - he'll accuse Labour of being cowardly for refusing one, the message 'Parliament can't stop the People voting'
2. If you were in any doubt for a second that we were heading for an election based on People v Parliament, scratch that thought - No 10 reckons this is day 1, whatever the eventual date
3. But Johnson has a big problem that the date is not just in his gift, and opposition parties can keep him dangling for as long as they like - PLP and shadow Cabinet seem to, for now, have secured position from Corbyn that they won't agree in next couple of days

1. ok - last night official line from Labour was they will back an election 'as the Bill to stop No Deal becomes law.' - and the statement referred to Friday night
2. Now, Labour MPs say Keir Starmer told them at the PLP that Labour will NOT vote for an election until the bill has been passed AND implemented, which means AFTER October 19th - which obviously means no chance election until much later on
3. Trying to clarify the position!

Pran Nevile sahab once told me about #BhaionKiDukaan, most famous in all of Anarkali bazar apparently since the Mughal era for making oils, perfumes and scents 1/
When I met him just weeks before his death, with an air of great romance, he claimed that any one of the Bhaion ki dukaan fragrances could win the hearts of a "beau" or a "belle". For this it was famous not only in Lahore shehr but also the whole of Punjab 2/
When speaking of Lahore, he always had that faraway look in his eyes. The city of his birth, the city of my dreams, humara Lahore. He constantly asked me why I was so drawn to it, and quoting that it was also the city of my ancestors, I'd smile the question to an end each time 3/

Exc: DEFRA officials this week told industry leaders that another food had been put on the list of things which could run out in a no-deal Brexit: liquid egg

"Every time I go to a meeting I find out something else," a figure who attended the meeting said businessinsider.com/no-deal-brexit…
Liquid egg transported in bulk and sold to the UK food industry has a shelf-life of 2-3 days

Manufacturers use it to make a range of products

DEFRA this week told industry leaders it is being treated as a vulnerable food in the event of border delays

businessinsider.com/no-deal-brexit…
A meeting attendee said DEFRA's advice was based on Yellowhammer findings, despite senior ministers describing the report as outdated

Labour's @SueHayman1: "This is yet another example of how a no deal Brexit would harm British food manufacturing" businessinsider.com/no-deal-brexit…

WHAT EXACTLY IS SOWORE'S #RevolutionNow ALL ABOUT?

It is not a protest:
A statement or action expressing disapproval of or objection to something..

It was called REVOLUTION: "a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favour of a new system"
#RevolutionNotProtest
I listened to @YeleSowore where he said "a Nigeria where 5 people is richer than 200 million people, ko le work".....and this is the need for #RevolutionNow.
Ok, So how is this statement linked to the present leadership of Buhari as the head of Govt? HOW?
I also saw on @YeleSowore TL a statement that was poitining to the reason why #RevolutionNow is needed by one Comrade Nosa saying...“On August 5th we are going to ask our terrible leaders to “take a bow and get out”.

So the purpose is getting clearer!

A Lost Place Found: A Thread.

About 5 years ago me and my girlfriend were in Paris. It was pouring with rain and we were looking for shelter.

We came across an alleyway leading to a courtyard, so we ducked in.

That's when we noticed there was a shop in the courtyard...
Oh man, it was wild. It was like a mix between a 2nd hand bookshop and a mad archivist's attic. There were theatre programmes from the 19th century. Gilt-edged invitations to parties that happened in the 1930s. Books, newspapers, photographs, stacked from floor to ceiling.
We spent a while in there. At one point I found an envelope of photos from a disposable camera. I looked through them and they were all candid shots of the Beatles. Mad.

Then we left. And 2 years later, we were in Paris again and we thought we'd go back, except-

It was gone.

Mainstream press: Very Bad Man Maduro is blocking precious medicine from entering Venezuela. Here's a picture of the blocked bridge.

Liberals: mmhhmm ohh? Hmmm wow
Actual journalists in real time: that bridge has been closed for 3 years, here's satellite images proving that this is a hoax designed to create the conditions for US intervention into Venezuela.

Liberals...... 🙈
Mainstream press three weeks after the story finished circulating: oooops looks like this bridge was closed for years and the Red Cross had tried to warn us that Trump would stage aid theatrics. Anyway super sorry won't happen again 🙃
