Operation Yellowhammer paper claimed “low risk of significant sustained queues at ports outside of Kent” under No Deal:

But I’ve been leaked DFT documents that show this is only because thousands of vehicles would be turned away for being “non-compliant”

ft.com/content/0a37d1…
in other words....countless numbers of companies unable to export their products to Europe because they haven’t got the right permits and documentation.....
Craig Beaumont of the @fsb:

“We cannot see small companies in difficulty at the border pushed to the side, sent away or instructed to dump their products....an ‘I’m alright, Jack’ approach where large corporates get to barge past and queue-jump sounds distinctly un-British."

- the £350m line was dodgy
- Gove can be a bit tricksy
- Johnson wasn’t *that* Eurosceptic
- Cameron doesn’t like Priti Patel
- it all went pear-shaped in 2016
- bears do their business in the woods
- Pope has Catholic tendencies
still holding out for pig head clarity though

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.

BREAKING: #YellowHammer documents released on UK government's worst case planning assumptions for No Deal as of 2 August. Thread follows
assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
The worst disruption to the short Channel Straits might last for up to 3 months before it improves by a significant level to around 50-70%... In a reasonable worst case scenario, HGVs ·could face maximum delays of 1.5-2.5 days before being able to cross the border.
Dependent on the plans EU Member States put in place to cope with these in.creased immigration checks it is likely that delays will occur for UK arrivals and departures at EU airports and ports.

NEW: Representatives of British business agree with the leaked Operation Yellowhammer paper that companies aren’t prepared for a no-deal Brexit, blaming the government for lack of certainty.

Tomorrow’s @FinancialTimes with @NathalieThomas3
ft.com/content/07db47…
Institute of Director’s Edwin Morgan says business is “seriously underprepared”:

“Our surveys show that businesses had been waiting to see what happened...there’s been no financial support and little accessible information.

ft.com/content/07db47…
CBI says businesses are “hampered by unclear advice, timelines and costs”:

“While the UK’s preparations to date are welcome, the unprecedented nature of Brexit means some aspects cannot be mitigated. We can reduce but not remove the damage of no-deal.”

A little over two months ago @RepPressley asked a pointed question about whether the FBI used and investigated so-called "Black Identity Extremists." The response, "I've been in this job 17-months, and we don't have that designation." Today, @TheYoungTurks proved that wrong... /1
@TheYoungTurks revealed leaked FBI documents which show that "Black Identity Extremism" was not only a designation in use as late as 2018, but that a heretofore unknown FBI program—"IRON FIST"—was targeted at gathering intelligence on such groups /2 tyt.com/stories/4vZLCH…
The documents, available here, also make clear that the FBI is still pursuing the same goals. McGarrity is technically correct, though misleading—"Black Identity Extremism" is now referred to as "Black Racially Motivated Extremism." /3 scribd.com/document/42116…

#US Air Force plans to buy 8 new F-15EX fighter aircraft in 2020 - It reflects a new tactic, the F-35 opens the way for F-15EXs carrying a big weapons payload, they complement each other in combat. defence-blog.com/news/u-s-air-f…
The U.S. Air Force on Tuesday unveiled a nearly $166 billion budget request for fiscal 2020 includes plans to buy eight new F-15EX fighter aircraft to replace ageing F-15C/D fleet.
According to the budget request, it will cost $80 million per airframe, but that cost will rise to ~$125 million for each of the 8 jets “to set up the line” & other non-recurring engineering costs in the first year of procurement. Total deal will be worth more than $1.1 billion

41) 1,244 of the emails reference NUCLEAR ENERGY. The full collection includes emails to/from Hillary Clinton.

April '15 NYT published story about a company called “#UraniumOne” which was sold to Russian government-controlled interests, giving Russia effective control
42) of one-fifth of ALL uranium production capacity in the United States.

Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, w/implications for production of nuclear weapons, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of US govt agencies.
