I'm not going to live-tweet the whole of Cameron's book (reviewing it tomorrow), but it has some good lines: “Britain’s unstable position in a changing EU was the biggest can kicked down the longest road.”
He nearly called the book Decisions – possibly too much like George W Bush’s Decision Points
“Another working title for this book was Right at the Centre” – that was the title taken by Cecil Parkinson, Margaret Thatcher’s one-time favourite, with whom Cameron worked in Tory HQ in 1988

Evolving British constitution, pt 394: PM's chief of staff responsible for discipline of special advisers @hzeffman thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/d…
@hzeffman Makes explicit that one special adviser, namely Dominic Cummings, PM's chief of staff, is "first among equals"
@hzeffman As @Jack_Blanchard_ says, "Downing Street, remember, used to claim Johnson didn’t actually *have* a chief of staff, largely to avoid questions over who was more senior between Cummings and Eddie Lister" politico.eu/newsletter/lon…

Building Westminster Abbey the model, says Swinson: "That spirit of ambition and shared endeavour is what our politics - and our country - needs right now"
She's gone Miliband-walkabout
She's just nicked the Momentum slogan: "To imagine that a different world is possible"

Very interesting - but will it make a difference? Some reflections on how the US sees #Brexit after a couple of days in Washington D.C. (thread)
1. Generally, lots of confusion: about the process, politics and details of Brexit. No deal a worry for US firms (already in UK) and, interestingly, Americans planning to travel to UK/Europe (media coverage of food shortages and flight disruption).
2. But Trump is simply not interested in the process of leaving the EU - much more about what happens after the UK has left. For him, a hard Brexit presents trade opportunities for the US. Plus, he distrusts the EU.

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

Why have I changed my mind since the 2016 EU Referendum and why it is wrong to continue to support Brexit?
Nothing has convinced me otherwise.
Let the people have the final say
#PeoplesVote #RemainerNow #tory #labour #libdems #brexit
The country is divided and some of the reasons many of us who voted Leave have been laid bare: immigration, lack of respect, fear for your job and squeeze on public services.
#PeoplesVote #RemainerNow #tory #labour #libdems #brexit
Trust me, sovereignty was way, way down the list!
We lashed out upsetting the apple cart and gave the government a bloody nose and like many got joy at watching David Cameron lose his job.

1. There are plenty of #Brexit threads kicking around now on why the WTO option is bad. Unless you live in a cave or have the IQ of a halibut, you should by now have grasped the concept of what it means to be a third country and why that is ruinous for UK exporters.
2. You'll note that in the seventeen billion threads I've written on the subject that I seldom make reference to tariffs - because tariffs for the most part are neither here nor there. This is fundamentally about regulatory barriers where again the cave/halibut question kicks in.
3. Without full regulatory harmonisation there will be inspections, standard third country controls will kick in and there are no WTO rules that compel the EU to relax them and certainly not for the sole benefit of the UK. This is why we need a comprehensive agreement with the EU

#Brexit Thread: a list of 20 random reasons why I voted to leave the EU

1. The impossibility of meaningful treaty reform. We cannot edit the supranationalist DNA of the EU
2. The exclusion of the public from decisions relating to further integration. See Treaty of Lisbon.
3. The way in which the EU will seek homogenisation and integration for its own sake and for that of EU ideology over practical necessity.
