I'm afraid I cannot find the words to describe the awfulness of this response from a UK Prime Minister. Nothing can do justice to a so called leader laughing off death threats in this way.
The PM also said he would break the law

A lot more talk tonight about a "unity" Government - Johnson having angered so many. Still not convinced, but rising in probability

There is no positive to draw from today in Parliament whatsoever. The world is seeing a troubled country with a leader happy to make it worse. I can only hope this has encouraged others to work together to stop this descent.

Is a UK EU deal still possible. Just about argues @pmdfoster. But that really is a marginal chance. The negotiating tactic was never to have to rely on Labour votes for a deal, it was the genuine belief that the EU would remove the backstop or there would be no-deal in Oct.
@pmdfoster For all the bluster, the Johnson approach has failed. Neither parliamentary opponents or the EU behaved as they were supposed to according to the masterplan. Plan B for bluster is going ok, but as per the Mourinho reference it was only adopted because the government was losing
@pmdfoster So now the Government's choice is between two things they promised not to do - a deal including a backstop, or a delay beyond October 31. Sure they'll try to change the choice, but the odds are against them making progress on either count.

Sad to see Matthew Parris become the latest in too long a line of remainers to trash anything between EU membership and no-deal as "vassalage" and argue healing will only come after one side - presumably his own - has won
There's no such thing as a perfect international relationship, particularly if you have a large economic bloc on your neighbourhood. No deal means real economic costs. Being part of it means shared institutions you might not like. A halfway house has flaws.
Hardly representative but I've had plenty of discussions with remainers and leavers on here who will admit they could live with a compromise that is actually available, typically but not always EEA. Not ideal, but scarcely vassalage of a nation.

Suspect not serious proposals if UK Government expect a full renegotiation in 10 days or so in time for an agreement ahead of the European Council (reminder - Brexit will not be negotiated at that meeting).
Bear in mind the pretty hostile reception given to the UK non-papers, and the increasingly terse nature of Commission communications about Brexit. Equally there's a blame game to be played, which is probably more pertinent.
We may all yet be surprised. But if either side are preparing the sort of movement that would lead to a Brexit deal they are disguising it very heavily as if they are preparing instead for something else.

"We will no longer deal with" #UK Ambassador @KimDarroch, declares @POTUS.
Seeking clarification on what this actually means. @WhiteHouse not discussing on the record whether @KimDarroch is just a virtual 'persona non grata' in eyes of @POTUS or whether there'll be diplomatic ramifications. Queries being directed to @StateDept on that.
US and UK established diplomatic relations in 1785, broke relations when Washington declared war in 1812; relations were reestablished in 1815.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
