Reads like Number 10, concerned too many people were taking their attempts to pretend to negotiate seriously, rowing back to the position where Parliament or the EU will be to blame for the inevitable failure to reach a deal. theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
These two paragraphs tell quite a story of intent...
But here's a story saying the exact opposite.... ah well, onwards and... something

Life on repeat... yes freedom of movement will be on the table in our trade talks (including with the EU) because it is one of the few things other countries want from us and we can offer.
But... any offer in trade talks carries risks - of precedent (if Australia then other countries will want it), of numbers (is there a limit to our cumulative offer), of public acceptability.

These things are difficult to resolve and hence why trade talks take time.
Thought occurs - a book entitled "The UK Trade Policy Handbook". No one person has all the expertise, but there's so much that could be covered. Now anyone like to volunteer to publish or indeed edit what would surely be an instant bestseller...? 🙄

That's Australia, New Zealand, US, maybe Canada, Japan, probably the EU, on the immediate negotiation list, plus WTO negotiations, with no trade strategy, no economy wide priorities, and no process for Parliamentary or stakeholder involvement. Can't see what could go wrong...
Free Trade Agreements are economically marginal, though probably positive. They involve making concessions, which somebody isn't going to like. And if you don't know what your economy will look like in a few years time, you may focus on the wrong things.
Also, start talks as soon as we leave the EU on October 31st. Australia like all other Governments will have an Embassy in London telling them that probably won't happen. Just that small credibility point.

I've done my shift, now the turn of @pmdfoster to explain why the UK Government's apparent Brexit plan won't work...
@pmdfoster Thanks for asking, yes it is a bit frustrating that we keep having to think of new ways to explain why the EU / Irish position is as it is, and why the UK Government or ERG proposals do not provide the answer. 18 months now in my case... sorry for those who got it first time.
@pmdfoster And no, in answer to the other question / comment I see frequently, the EU and Ireland will not be changing their position because the most vocal supporters of a country's decision to leave say that would be for the best.

Lord Pannick invites court to rule @BorisJohnson improperly used royal prerogative to suspend parliament on basis of principle rather than precedent. Which - and I may be wrong - feels like slightly shaky ground.
The counter-argument of course would be that @BorisJohnson has created a precedent which the Supreme Court may regard as heinous and that it should rule as illegal to rein in the potential for the executive to become over-mighty
One Supreme Court judge has just hit nail on head when saying it would be “comforting to have some authority” [or precedent] for determining the limit of executive power in this case. In other words, the Supreme Court is doing something quite fundamental, which is to determine...

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...
