Supreme Court now after Major/Miller lose - but plausible question as to whether the prorogation is in any way helping Number 10 right now... squeezing time on rebels backfired.

how does a queens speech help now with a majority of -43? And having to renegotiate c&s with DUP?
I mean after the Benn Burt bill becomes law, PM surely can’t get Her Majesty to read out the words “we will be leaving on Oct 31st”... can he? @jillongovt @RobertCraig3 everyone will know the new session will only last a few days before being dissolved??
@jillongovt @RobertCraig3 say No 10 want to pass a Bill reversing the FTPA - surely need more time rather than less. Unprorogue? Quiet chat at Balmoral tomorrow - “that thing that Jacob asked about last week, we’ve been having a think your majesty...”. As I said The Crown series 17 going to be a stonker.
@jillongovt @RobertCraig3 The four dimensional chess move here is to lose the Supreme Court case on purpose... maybe for both sides. It’s like Brewsters millions.

Barnier making point publicly UK Government has told him it now wants to revisit level playing field commitments (social, environmental, competition) made by May last year... this will lessen the ambition for a free trade agreement...
Consequences...

europarl.europa.eu/streaming?even…
Firstly - this has been in the air since Frost first visited in October - the implication is that it could affect the much vaunted March offer for tariff free-quota-free trade which explicitly referenced “insofar as” there are LPF commitments...

Secondly - if as some Cabinet ministers have said, they are trying to get a reference to “best free trade deal in the world” in to the political declaration - then rowing back on the LPFs will take this in the very opposite direction to that...

No 10 readout of call with Chancellor Merkel - PM reiterated that “UK and EU have agreed to accelerate efforts to reach a deal without the backstop which the UK Parliament could support”...
Can’t see anyone in the EU saying its accelerating efforts to reach a deal without a backstop - which is what Number 10 say the PM reiterated to Merkel in its readout below - indeed that’s now what the No 10 readout said after the Juncker lunch either.
Ah. “The statement is wrong” says EU source re PMs characterisation of EU position to Merkel. Brussels happy to intensify talks on any UK idea that “may come forward” that offers a “legally sound solution for avoiding a hard border”...

Welsh Government has released its No Deal Preparation document - which confirms various No Deal stories we have reported from council preparations re food banks, menus, prices, building on the Yellowhammer assumptions... gov.wales/sites/default/…
Welsh Govt takes the Yellowhammer assumptions on -
Stacking plans for A55 into Holyhead, but not expected to be an issue for south west wales ports:
Re: medical devices: WG has bought additional storage and has a “12 to 15 week supply of products”
Say reassurances received on food supply to remote communities and have secured “A UK-wide table top exercise to test the coordinated response for the disruption to food supply and the potential public response, scheduled for the end of September” - which sounds interesting./2

@TheDemocrats, I know why you are bringing up the Kavanaugh meetings and trying to smear an honorable man. You are not fooling me nor others who know your tactics. You dems are a bunch of sick and detestable morons who don’t truly care about America.
2) This thread will hopefully explain the dems plan to try and discredit the Supreme Court’s upcoming rulings to further divide our nation. First I will start with this article by Sara Carter.

THREAD I have been wading through the full judgment from Scotland's highest civil court, the Court of Session, on the prorogation of parliament this evening (with assistance, as you can see). Here are some points I think are interesting. #Prorogation #TheNine
First, what is this all about? A group of parliamentarians led by @joannaccherry of the SNP wanted to stop the prorogation (suspension) of parliament, which has now taken effect, arguing that it was unlawfully designed to stymie parliamentary debate on Brexit.
As it happened the High Court in London has rejected a similar case but one argument made by the petitioners in Edinburgh (that is, Ms Cherry and co) was that Scotland (which has its own legal system pre-dating the 1707 union with England) had different law in this matter.

INX Media: Hearing in the plea challenging Delhi High Court order denying anticipatory bail to P Chidambaram begins.

#INXMediacase
#PChidambaram
@PChidambaram_IN
Justice Banumathi suggests that as far as the CBI is concerned, it has been rendered infructuous.

Sibal opposes and says that the matter was pending when the arrest was made
"I have a right to be heard"

#INXMediacase
#PChidambaram
The SC order was for hearing, not listing. I was not given a hearing. I was entitled to anticipatory bail and I should have been heard, Sibal

Though #Pakistan was created on religious line, #Jinnah was most liberal Muslim who never wanted #Pakistan a religious firm!
Till 1977 , Religion was just a personal choice in #Pakistan , General #Zia not only pushed religion but also took country decades backward !
#SZAB
Zia knew he had zero support from People hence he decided to take support from Mullahs and he ensured that hardcore Islam penetrate each institution in #Pakistan including #Army & #ISI !
#Soviet invaded #Afghanistan in 1979, #Zia used this opportunity to the fullest .
#US wanted to work on Proxy war, Zia got excellent platform to build these Proxies in Madrassa's of Pakistan.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Supreme Court hearing on Holyrood's Brexit bill kicking off now - submissions from UK law officers expected to take up most of today. Might also be time for the start of the Lord Advocate's response, which will continue tomorrow. Live stream here: supremecourt.uk/live/court-01.… Supreme Court
Advocate General for Scotland Lord Keen leading for UKgov side at the Supreme Court. He says the Scottish Brexit bill as an entirety "impermissably modifies" Westminster legislation and as such is outside Holyrood's competence Lord Keen
Lord Keen says EU Withdrawal Bill allows for devolved administrations to go their own way in future - but "starting point" must be "a regime that applies across the entire country". So Holyrood only competent to modify retained EU laws "after exit"
