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

If you are a sucker for how UK is trying to persuade EU to change the backstop, this is a useful thread - and in a lot of detail, what UK means when it says they can see ‘broad shape’ of a deal
And it’s worth saying whatever rhetoric is, as per this thread and multiple sources there are proposals being talked about - what there is not is any text that UK is willing to publish - or much confidence on EU side they will ultimately fly
One diplomat worried Johnson’s team ‘doesn’t understand the mechanics properly’ and have ‘lack of knowledge about what is possible and impossible’

Starmer on court ruling - "I'm really pleased with this result, but I'm surprised because for a court to make a decision like this is a huge thing. It vindicates what happened last week".
Are MPs going to come back and cancel party conferences which are massive revenue raisers for the parties in what's likely to be an election year?
And the real strangeness of this that even tho Parliament was suspended yday, MP s did come back and achieve what most of them wanted to do which was change the law to try to try to rule out leaving without a deal

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

Explosive eyewitness account from highly respected Australian investigative journalist Mark Davis - it was #JulianAssange in 2010, not The Guardian or NYT or Der Spiegel, who redacted names to protect identities. Anything else is “a complete lie” consortiumnews.com/2019/08/09/wat…
2/ Mark Davis says, “I was there when they formed ‘the bunker’ at the Guardian [with] Der Spiegel, The Guardian, The New York Times and #JulianAssange. Every moment that #Julian was there I was there.”
3/ “No-one “expressed any concern whatsoever about the lives of people [named in leaked documents], except for #JulianAssange. EXCEPT for Julian Assange.”

Wrinkle: Judge Furman responds to The Justice Dept. abandoning the citizenship question.

In essence, that's well and good, but you have a briefing due today on some unfinished business: a motion to alter the judgment on equal protection claims.
The NYAG responds, in essence: Judge Furman, we could all use an extension until Tuesday, July 16.
Clarification: Equal-protection claims were back in play in the Maryland case.

In the SDNY case, the evidence that the citizenship question was designed to benefit ‘Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites' has not yet revived 5th Amendment claim, but sparked possible sanctions.

Gwen Snyder is uncivil

As we go into a weekend full of explicitly fascist rallies in DC, be aware that the fash are creating their own huge batch of fake antifa accounts to push ugly, false narratives about antifascists.
Folks really need to understand that antifa is a loose network of folks who share the same anti-nazi ethos, not a formal organization with chapters or set policy.
There's good reason for this: when people organize against fascists in public, structured ways, the fascists violently intimidate or try to take out people perceived as leaders.

The loose, horizontal structure protects folks from that danger & makes antifa more resilient.

Saying 'The rain is coming through the ceiling' to University Facilities departments is apparently like shouting 'there's a dog in the playground!' at a primary school.

I think the whole department is here.

You've only got one ladder, chaps. I suspect some of you can leave.
Someone has just turned up with a Maglite!

It's now his turn up the ladder.

I think he might be the only one allowed to use the Maglite.

HR probably have an e-Learning module you have to pass.
I wonder if there's a Maglite stipend?

That would probably explain why he's the only one who's been allowed to do the course.

What happens when he leaves? Universities are SHIT at succession planning. I bet it'll be MONTHS before someone can use the Maglite again.

Former Equifax CEO Richard Smith faces House subcommittee via @YouTube
Interesting importance of lack of quick communication all the way to the CEO/Board.
The House: "How does this happen?" Interesting that they would ask this question. I feel their techsperts tell them "this is easy to do".
