Today in Farceland
- Rebel Bill to delay Bexit passed in Lords
- Boris Johnson was revealed to have called David Cameron a "girly blouse" in a previously redacted note from August
- BJ lost control of a bull (really!) while on walkabout and it sideswiped a protection officer
- Tories put out images of "JFC" Corbyn in a chicken costume
- KFC told them off
- Tories sent cold greasy chicken with stickers of Corbyn's head to journalists
- JRM apologised for slandering a doctor
- The police complained about BJ using them for propaganda purposes yesterday
- Two more Tory MPs declared they wouldn't stand for re-election
- We all moved one day closer to death
Correction. "Girly swot" not "girly blouse". He called Corbyn a "big girl's blouse" in the HOC a couple of days ago.

We desperately need an answer to Brexit.

It can't be "just leave", because that solves nothing.

It can't be "just stay", much as I'd love it, because that's too hard a sell.

So a second referendum looks like the only way out. But every option must be *defined* and *actionable*
In other words, whatever the 2nd referendum decides, the decision should be clear and unarguable. A specific recipe for a particular outcome, not just "cook something".
But that also means that the defined Leave outcome must be possible. It can't be a unicorn version of Brexit.

Best way to do that? Go back to the EU's cascade of possible post-Brexit relationships and pick one.

(My preference would be Norway, of course, if we have to leave.)

If Boris Johnson resigns (as PM, but *not* Tory leader) and Jeremy Corbyn takes over, then there's an interesting scenario:
1. Jeremy Corbyn asks for a *long* A50 extension, long enough to negotiate a "Labour deal" and also hold 2nd ref
2. He then tries that negotiation
3. At the same time, his "majority" is even lower than Boris Johnson's would be in opposition.
4. So that means Labour can implement none of its other plans that the other parties see as so damaging because they don't have a hope of getting through the HOC.
Above scenario might not actually be too bad, with key proviso that the A50 extension has to be *long*. If it's just a few months at a time, the idea falls apart. But if we shove it a year or more away (basically to the end of when transition would have been) it allows options.

Nobody talks about UKIP these days. That's because electorally they're irrelevant. But in very tight marginals, their otherwise risible vote share might make the difference, assuming they run candidates. So might we see the Tories do a pact with them too?
"Smartest" would be to gift them 1 MP in a very safe leave seat (agree it with the Brexit Party too) and in exchange they stand down all over the rest of the UK. 1 MP would be infinitely better than 0 from their POV. It shows they're still a "real" party and gets them on TV.
(To be clear, by "gift" I mean neither the Tories nor the BP would stand candidates in that one area.)

I have no idea if the Tories are thinking along these lines, or indeed thinking of UKIP at all. But given all their other tricks, you have to expect the unexpected.

Good morning and welcome to another #Brexit thread

I'll be attempting to cover the events that are happening both in the Commons and in the Lords today so this is going to be a long one

1/n
So first things first, hello to all my new followers and here's a quick breakdown of what's happening today, and a quick precis of how business in each House is carried out and why really arcane things seem to happen that bear little-to-no relationship to reality

2/n
What's expected for today?

In the Lords the Opposition and Crossbench peers have laid a motion that will allow them the time to scrutinise the Bill that's about to be debated in the Commons. They want to debate this Bill on Friday at the latest. More on that later

So yes Dr Yasmin Fitzpatrick is standing as the Brexit party candidate in East Surrey. Yasmin is married to John Fitzpatrick one of the leading lights in the Revolutionary Communist party from its inception until its demise.
All of these people have stood or are standing as Brexit party candidates. All are closely associated with the Revolutionary Communist party. Considering just how small it was...

There are others who you might call "loose associates" who are part of the Spiked network. Fairly extraordinary

1/ Our new government is now at war with their own establishment. All the evidence is suggesting that!

Here is a quote from the link:

- Incidentally, Dominic Cummings recently told all government special advisers – better known as spads – that their loyalty is to Downing
2/ Street rather than the minister for whom they work. The former Vote Leave campaign director has also them anyone caught leaking will be fired under his “one strike and you’re out” policy.

They aren't playing games anymore, this is no longer a May government, there will be
3/ no more obfuscation, delays or anything of the sort. This is Boris and his cabinet against the rest of Parliament and they will not stand for leaks, or betrayal! Just as it should be! Trump has NO leaks, the same should go for this new administration under Boris.

Here is

Let’s talk about Boris

One of most disreputable, toxic, selfish politicians I’ve ever met. As Tories choose between British Trump & ex-Health Sec who’s mission was to destroy health service, let's remember why #Johnson is #UnfitForOffice

2018: Letterboxes
Wrote that women wearing niqab looked like “letterboxes” & “bank robbers”; triggering attacks on our Muslim community, “letterbox” graffitied on homes, and giving racists new language in hate speech

2008: “Blacks have lower IQs”
As editor of the Spectator he was responsible for - and clearly condoned - this racist drawl. He and his racist worldview has no place in Parliament, let alone @10DowningStreet

Nostalgically looking through cuttings reveals the revolution in UK politics since 2016. We’ve gone from “Boris Johnson slaps down ‘part-Kenyan’ Barack Obama over Brexit push” (politico.eu/article/boris-…) to “Nigel Farage meets Donald Trump in London” (politico.eu/article/nigel-…)
From “Barack Obama: ‘Going it alone’ means no quick trade deal” (politico.eu/article/david-…) to “Trump backs no-deal Brexit... says trade deal with UK could be done ‘very quickly’” (politico.eu/article/donald…)
