Boris Johnson's "cunning plan" wheeze appears to be to ask the EU for an extension but add a note that says (paraphrased) "We just want it to waste your time and ours more" & hope they get so annoyed they refuse it. Like a little kid pouting, only less cute and more obnoxious...
The other snag (other than it's puerile and absurd) is that if you're going to try a grubby little trick like this, it's a bit awkward to advertise your sordid intent 5 weeks in advance...

Liberal Democrats plan stronger remain:
- If they win a majority, they will revoke Article 50, no ifs or buts (this is new)
- If they don't win a majority, they will push for a people's vote with a remain option, and campaign for remain
Still has to be confirmed at Conference.
Upside: it's a magnet for those who want to remain and the chaos of Brexit to stop. It's clear, simple, and can be conveyed in 30s.

Downside: gives ammunition to those saying that the LD want to overturn the result of ref 1. But I don't see how that matters *because it's true*.
If you're the kind of person who gets stroppy about the thought of the set-in-stone result of the first referendum being overturned, you were never ever going to vote LD anyway.

If they can take a big chunk of Remain, they don't need a single Leave vote. This is 4-way politics.

Now that Parliament has been prorogued and MPs locked out for 5 weeks, I will revisit a suggestion from a week or so ago: one form of passive protest would be to lay flowers outside to mark the passing of democracy.

If enough people did so, it would be quite a statement! 💐🏰💐
If you do decide to take this up (and I realise for most people it's not practical) please take a photo or video of your "tribute" so that it can be shared and gain some traction.

One snowflake is tiny. But enough together can be an avalanche.
(It's the perfect stunt for a flash mob, especially if the media are still out on the green outside Parliament.)

Boris Johnson does have a Brexit plan, but you won't know what it is unless you pay attention to what i'm telling you.
Boris Johnson's Brexit plan is the same as it always was.
Use Brexit to get in Downing Street, and once there, abandon it.
You keep giving yourselves up to the fevers of the mob. It's constant now, a high-pitched shriek day after day. they're going for no deal. They're going to burn everything down.

And none of it's real. It's just you running around.

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

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

Boris Johnson claims he didn't say anything about Turkey in the EU referendum campaign. Here's his joint letter with Michael Gove to Downing Street, seven days before the referendum.
The Daily Express, 18 April 2016.

He [Boris Johnson] said: "I am very pro-Turkish but what I certainly can't imagine is a situation in which 77million of my fellow Turks and those of Turkish origin can come here without any checks at all. That is mad - that won't work."
In fact - the former Turkish PM Binali Yıldırım - was even asked about Johnson's remarks shortly after the referendum, in July 2016.

"May God help him and reform him, and I hope he won't make any more mistakes and tries to make it up with the Turks."

1/ BREAKING.

Pakistan's hooggerechtshof spreekt Asia Bibi, een Christelijke Pakistaanse, in hoger beroep vrij van "godslastering".

Asia Bibi, die in 2010 werd veroordeeld tot de doodstraf, wordt onmiddellijk vrijgelaten.

Zaak kreeg wereldwijd veel aandacht. Groot nieuws dit:
2/ "the prosecution has categorically failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt," concluded the chief justice. "it is not for individuals, or a gathering (mob), to decide as to (...) Section 295-C has been committed or not." dawn.com/news/1442396/s…
3/ "Bibi appeared to be in state of disbelief after hearing decision from her lawyer.

"I cant believe what I am hearing, will I go out now? Will they let me out, really?" Bibi told AFP by phone from prison. "I just don't know what to say, I am very happy"

💣Espionage💣

The servers at TT & Alfa Bank, Spectrum Health & Heartland PS, were communicating via DNS look ups, sharing packet data.

‘GOP, Trump & Rick Gates are reportedly directly implicated in espionage against the US 2016 primary/Pres elex via help from a foreign power.’
💣Espionage💣

Rick Gates, the indicted Trump campaign official and Manafort aide & GOP Operative sought proposals from Psy Group an Israeli intelligence firm to run a coordinated disinfo campaign against US voters to help Trump win the primary & general elections.

Initially Psy-Group offered a social media manipulation campaign which included fake social media profiles that would attack Ted Cruz and discredit him the eyes of GOP Party delegates, who was at the time Trump’s main competitor for the GOP nomination.

#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.
