Dr Philip Lee, who just crossed the floor of the commons, explains what was the straw that broke the camels back? Jacob Rees-Mogg's disgraceful behaviour.
To be fair, Philip has always had his thoughts on Brexit 😉

When the Observer revealed last Sunday that Johnson was planning to prorogue parliament, Downing Street spin doctors led by Robert Oxley, Johnson’s press secretary, said the report was “entirely false”. Oxley was the former Head of Media at Vote Leave.
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
It shouldn't be forgotten that Oxley honed his dubious skills at the Matthew Elliott founded TaxPayers' Alliance before taking up his role at Vote Leave and then moving into Number 10; just another example of the Tufton St web encircling our government...

"The usual Russian modus operandi, the business opportunities and strategic objectives would have been closely aligned. Russian and American oligarchs, would make billions of dollars in exchange for advancing an agenda that had been negotiated in secret."

"Cambridge Analytica was set up by Steve Bannon—with funding from right-wing billionaire, Robert Mercer. It was carved out of a larger company called SCL Group, which held government contracts around the world for influence operations and unorthodox, covert election campaigns."
Kaiser & Nix were the show-people of Cambridge Analytica, the circus-masters whose eccentricities, entitlement and moral insouciance distracted us from the real powers of conservative donors, hedge-fund managers, kleptocrats and mercenaries, who still remain in the shadows.

There were 3 big revelations yesterday in UK politics (11/9/19).

With so much going on it’s easy to get distracted by just 1, but I argue these 3 must be considered together and what they add up to (THREAD).

This goes right to the heart of #Brexit and what is really going on.
The following revelations came to light on 11/9/19:
1) Operation #Yellowhammer document was published
2) Currency speculation with the Pound being shorted post 31st Oct, betting on Brexit happening on schedule and Sterling crashing.
3) Three judges ruled #Prorogation unlawful.
1) Operation #Yellowhammer document was published.

See excellent commentary from @lewis_goodall. Clearly #brexit by the governments own analysis would be deeply damaging in many ways. And there is wide suspicion this isn’t the worst case scenario.

Quick thought on the short Yellowhammer doc just released. It is of course extremely alarming, and exposes the sheer madness of Brexit... I think we also need to remember... [cont]
😠✊🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺 #StopTheCoup #YellowHammer
...that this document will have been compiled by earnest and professional civil servants, striving to choose their words carefully and to be measured in their tone. That means that there could be a great deal of BATSHIT CRAZINESS contained in some of the assessments. [cont]
For example, “significant electricity price increases” - already alarming, but is “significant” 10%? 20%? For anyone on a modest income, even a 5% increase in an electricity bill might be unmanageable. [cont]

OK, some further thoughts on #Prorogation, given my thread on Wednesday has been widely retweeted by ardent Brexiteers and No-Dealers. The following may not be quite so much the their liking...
My initial tweet (the most Retweeted) said it “seems” to be the normal brief Prorogation before a new session. When the Order in Council was published it emerged it was not as brief as is normal. This is undeniable, and significant.
Suggesting this is therefore a routine and unremarkable Prorogation is clearly untrue. It is unusual, remarkable, and understandably controversial. This does not make it unconstitutional, illegal or a “coup”. Governments have the right to do misguided and even outrageous things.

It's Friday. Let's have some fun and get to know our foes in this Rogue Government's Cabinet a little better.

#StopTheCoup
First up, the PM & aspiring dictator, selected by 0.13% of the population, but who hasn't yet faced a GE as PM - something he considered an #AffrontToDemocracy when Gordon Brown took over from Tony Blair.

Johnson: the poster-boy of the #BrexitCoup.

#StopTheCoup #BrexitIsNoJoke
Not officially in Cabinet, unelected bureaucrat & grand vizier Dominic Cummings nevertheless sets the agenda, calls the shots & yanks BJ's strings.

Cameron once called him a 'career psychopath'. He is in contempt of parliament & appears to be amoral. #StopTheCoup #BrexitIsNoJoke
