On 5 August, I wrote to Gove asking him two very simple questions about his knowledge of the payments – when he knew of them and who told him about them? He has not answered my letter and refused to take interventions from me in the House of Commons.

Just a little visual aide-memoire....
And the result of the recent Court of Appeal judgment...
The full judgment can be read here - bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/…

It should be remembered that the recent decision by the Met Police to drop the investigation into LeaveEU was predicated on a case in March in which they convinced a judge that £250,000 referendum expenditure...wasn't.

There's a growing belief in the legal community that the court will find against the government when it hands down its momentous verdict on Johnson’s decision to prorogue, leading the UK heading towards a "CONSTITUTIONAL ERUPTION OF VOLCANIC PROPORTIONS."
theguardian.com/law/2019/sep/2…
"Experts were quick to identify three aspects of the case that should trouble the government. First, the judges spent a large portion of their time exploring possible remedies."
"Second, Hale’s forensic questioning of the government’s lawyer, Lord Keen, suggested she was dubious about the arguments he was presenting."

Anyone else getting the feeling the rats aboard HMS Brexit are thinking about survival?
The Mail at the moment....
"Downing Street killed Nigel Farage's overtures for an electoral pact with the Tories stone dead last week, venomously branding the Brexit stalwart and his millionaire backer Arron Banks 'not fit and proper'."

For those who missed Lord Pannick destroying the government's case for prorogation today, here's a short thread covering a few salient points. Pannick opens with a demolition of the need for a five week prorogation to accommodate a Queen's Speech and the conference season. 1/3
Lord Pannick continues by explaining the impact of the prorogation, ridiculing the Prime Minister's suggestion that Parliament has no business to transact during this time when in fact it has prevented Parliament from scrutinising the government's own actions. 2/3
Lord Pannick turns the government's argument inside out, suggesting that the court is being asked to UPHOLD the separation of powers to ensure the executive cannot escape scrutiny by its senior partner, Parliament. 3/3

In Leave constituencies across the country, there is an overwhelming sense that people want MPs, their representatives, to ‘get on with it’: to stop messing about & make our exit from the EU as soon as possible. After over two & a half years, that’s understandable. [thread] 1/10
It sounds so simple, but the truth is, the process of leaving isn’t. To understand why, we have to go back to the referendum of June 2016. On the ballot paper were two very simple options: to Leave or Remain in the EU. People voted by 52% to 48% to leave. That much is clear. 2/10
What that very simple choice didn’t account for, is how we leave the EU. PM David Cameron called the referendum to settle internal disputes in the Tory Party & to avert the threat of UKIP. He arrogantly thought Remain would walk it & didn’t cater for the world post-Brexit. 3/10

On my way to @Die_Gruenen-#BDK18! I'll be sharing impressions so mute me now. It sure has a very democratic feel when most of party leadership ends up hanging out on a train platform in Bitterfeld due to changed train schedules.

I'm about to start watching Brett Kavanaugh's Congressional testimony, and I'll say that—having watched Dr. Ford's testimony—I expect what I'm about to watch will be the most shameful and offensive few hours of television I've seen in the past few years. Hope he proves me wrong.
2/ Holy *crap* he's visibly angry. Didn't see such an obviously fake performance coming. But here it is, just seconds in.
3/ The anger is bullsh*t because there are *so many things* he could've done to help clear his name over the last two weeks. He did *literally none of them* and he *chose* not to. Most notably, he wouldn't ask for other witnesses to appear before Congress or an FBI investigation.

Something funky's going on with Senator Hirono.

When she questioned Kavanaugh during the 9/5 confirmation hearing, she went off on an out of context tangent about sexual assault, asking him two very pointed questions that she claims she asks of all lifetime nominees. 1/
Q: "...I ask each nominee two questions...
Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?"
A: No.

2/
Q: "Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct?"
A: No.
