UPDATE: This is very much not the ideal in the view of some opposition parties. Several have got in touch to say they want the election asap and if they can find a way of dissolution taking place before October 31st, so long as no deal is forbidden then they’re all for it.
Indeed, intriguingly one source alluded to idea that “anything could still happen on Monday”, if no deal could be taken off table completely, they said an October election might still just about be possible.
There has been a striking level of unity of late from the opposition. It’s taken everyone, not least the govt, by surprise. But behind the scenes there are still tensions and disagreement about the specifics and what exactly what to do next.

Gone to Wales for the weekend to escape but can’t stop thinking about the last five days. There have been some big Brexit weeks but I don’t think they compare to this last one. We’ve witnessed the genesis of something entirely new: government by opposition.
It is constitutionally novel, if not deeply problematic (possibly outrageous) but it arose from a prime minister playing equally liberally with our constitution, a series of moves which have, inadvertedntly, trapped him in the perfect prison of 10 Downing St.
The expulsion of the Tories both created and revealed: it created a new oppositional majority in Parliament. It revealed that the Conservative Party has completed its slow transformation. The end of the Tory civil war has finally come- via aggressive purification.

I’m sorry folks but I need to prepare you. Source inside rebel alliance confirms that given they won’t accept dissolution until extension is in place (after October 31st) then they expect election could well take place in December. The Christmas present no one (except me) wanted.
But source thinks November still most likely if they can agree dissolution a bit earlier, after EU council. In which case 21st November or 28th November possible dates (assuming we stick with Thursdays which, like many precedents, has been up in the air of late).
Either way an election so late in the year poses real problems for parties. Campaigning in the dark (no jokes please) isn’t fun. Even more of a problem getting voters out to cast their ballots. Probably why last election in November was in 1935. Last election in December 1923.

The election is being deferred because the anti no dealers, suddenly and unexpectedly working together harmoniously, now have a stable parliamentary majority to do with as they like. Cummings’ expulsion of Tories has solidified it. It suits them to keep the govt trapped.
Democratically, constitutionally that is pretty questionable. But it’s happened because of his own constitutional indiscretion, his hurriedness to prorogue. Without that, none of this would have happened. The premiership he for so long coveted, is for now, a perfect prison.
Cummings, the alleged great mastermind, forgot that other people can act unpredictably too.

AU where Hank gets drunk one night and buys "companionship model" Connor bc I would like to have some fun on this fine afternoon 🙌
I read the shit out of power imbalance stuff but have never been all that comfortable writing it, so, uhhhh...there's a Jolli twist to this one to deal with that that I'm sure y'all can spot from a mile away if you're even remotely familiar with my Brand. 😂
(and NO it's not that Hank doesn't know Connor is an android this time lmao okay y'all let's get this self-indulgent comfort food 🙌)

~~

Hank honestly doesn't know what to do with the thing.

He has to do *something* with it, of course.

Interesting.. a British tanker in the Persian Gulf has come to a complete stop. Would expect it to start heading south but as of now it's completely stopped.

Boat is the PACIFIC VOYAGER, image of the ship and it's location compared to Iran seen below.
Don't panic or anything, I'm going to monitor this until it makes another movement.
#UPDATE: Boat still stopped, it's status is officially stopped instead of underway using engine. It's at 0.5 knts as of now.

Not gratuitous, but a note about the “Nazis did the same confiscating wedding rings before killing Jews” parallels with the Trump border.

That was extermination. It was the last step in a long, planned, policy to exterminate, but initially, it was about deportation.
As observers have noticed, especially those working in conflict: genocide is almost impossible without dehumanization first. The climate must be hostile to those about to face rejection and torture. There must be an element of large approval of isolation and rejection.
When Italian elected officials talk about specifically recording an ethnic population, and establishes policies on those naturally born and foreign born, they do so under political legitimacy that this is the will of the people, and a sovereign right.

207. UCHE DIKE was an odd ball with a mild distasteful sense of fashion when he first gained admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe university in Anambra State, Nigeria.

Uche was one of those students in school who occasionally wore bogus long sleeved shirts...
208... and carton-coloured trousers that looked like something that came out of a thrift shop in the
1980's.

A geek eyeglass, an afro, a black duffle bag and a brown shoe that shares the same oddity with Uche's choice of clothing, was also part of his signature appearance.
209. Uche was an awkward young man which made him an easy target for bullies.

Sometimes he felt there was a mental sticker on his head that screamed
'Bully me. Bully me. Bully me'.

Uche was the real definition of "Fashion makes you stand out." His mentality...
