Not my chart so 🎩 to whoever first put it together, but a great explainer as to why Corbyn can't lead a Labour minority Government even if he and his supporters really really really want it... And why the LibDems aren't the stumbling block. Take some time to absorb the numbers.
(If anything it's too generous to Labour because it assumes zero rebels in the Labour ranks ie 100% of the party votes for Corbyn. Which is far from certain.)
Move the LD into the red column and that's 353 MPs from which to find the 326 needed for a GNU with a majority. Tricky but doable. There's no realistic way to make the Corbyn column add up to a majority though.

I'm caught up in a bit of a rewriting fever (my Brexit book's now finished in draft, but stuff needs fixing). Please send all positive vibes you can spare my way!
More vibes, please. More vibes! Thank you.
2/3 done. Should be finished tomorrow or Thursday. With luck that means up on Amazon in time for the weekend!

What million pounds business idea are you willing to "give away" because you can't ever see yourself trying it?

For me, it would have to be "obanyaki". It's a Japanese treat made of a batter that contains a tasty filling. Traditionally it would be red or green bean paste... 1/3
... however I have seen places selling savoury ones with things like lasagna, teriyaki chicken, ham and cheese, potato and cheese, and dozens of other fillings.

They're hot, easy to eat on the move, and easyish to churn out in volume. See video below 2/3
I could see this sort of thing catching on outside football grounds or similar in winter. Might take a bit of educating people, but it could catch on. Not sure what the costs would be here, but in Tokyo they sell for about 80p-£1.30 each depending on size/filling. 3/3

How to fix the Government of National Unity problem:
1. Let Labour pick who is PM, *but can't be Corbyn*
2. Let Tories pick who is Chancellor, *but can't be Johnson*
3. Labour fill 3rd most important role (could be Corbyn)
4. Tories fill 4th most important role (could be Johnson)
5. SNP fill 5th
6. LibDems fill 6th
7. Labour, Tories, SNP, LibDems next (10 Cabinet posts filled)
8. Change UK TIG, Greens, Plaid Cymru next (13 Cabinet posts filled)
9. If need be, another couple of Tory/Labour rounds
10. Hey presto, a real Government of National UNITY.
GNU composition:
PM: Labour
Chancellor: Tories
4 more Labour Cabinet Ministers
4 more Tory Cabinet Ministers
2 SNP Cabinet Ministers
2 LibDem Cabinet Ministers
1 Green Cabinet Minister
1 PC Cabinet Minister
1 Change UK TIG Cabinet Minister
That's 17 roles. More than enough!

What's the deal with with Jeremy Corbyn? For those who haven't followed the story, here's why so many people, and especially Jews, are concerned about the man who presided over the Labour antisemitism crisis. [A thread based on camera.org/article/jeremy…]
2/ Let's begin in January 2006—it's not the very beginning, but still a very good place to start. Not for the first time, Corbyn then campaigned for the release of two convicted terrorists who who set off a bomb at a London building HOUSING JEWISH CHARITIES and at the IL embassy.
3/ In 2009, #Corbyn warmly called Hezbollah "friends," described them as committed to "peace, social justice, and political justice," and called on people to support them. Hezbollah, a proscribed terror organization, inter alia had BOMBED AN ARGENTINA JEWISH CENTER, killing 85.

If a #GeneralElection is called, socialists in #Labour can’t afford a “let’s get Labour into power and sort out the politics afterwards” attitude. We all want and need a Labour government, but *what kind of Labour government* matters greatly too.
The 2017 manifesto was a step forward but on issues like immigration it wasn’t qualitatively more radical/left-wing than the 2015 manifesto. Labour’s policy on the police (they’re great, we need more of them) has now been nicked by Johnson. And on many other issues, Labour is >
< still wedded to technocratic tinkering rather than the sweeping socialisation we need to address inequality and confront climate change. For example, Labour should commit to taking banking and finance into total public ownership to fund a massive expansion of renewable energy.

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...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
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...

Brexit upsum (to celebrate not leaving at 23:00 tonight). 1/ All the momentum is towards Customs Union/ Second Referendum, not towards backing May's deal. DUP considering it, SNP talking to Tory moderates about it. Labour didn't whip against it this week...
2/ If May backs herself into a corner where it's No Deal or a General Election, the Tories will disintegrate. Their hardcore voting base wants No Deal and nobody will support May as PM. They will self-suppress their own vote anyway...
3/ So the Customs Union option is like the bottom of the valley: I always said the water would find its course, irrespective of parties/positions. For those actively implementing Labour's strategy the key is to make all deals conditional on a Second Referendum...

Luciana Berger cited #Labour becoming "institutionally #AntiSemitic" as a key reason for quitting the party.

Despite all the evidence, there are those who still deny the severity of #LabourAntisemitism. Here's a thread detailing how institutionalised it truly is...
Starting at the very top with @JeremyCorbyn.

He infamously referred to #Hamas and #Hezbollah as "friends". Both organisations call for the extermination of #Israel, and regularly carry out attacks against #Jews. They're also both officially classified as #terrorist groups.
Perhaps the most well-known incident is #Corbyn's attendance at a wreath-laying ceremony in Tunisia in 2014, which honoured the terrorists who murdered 11 #Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Mr Corbyn claimed to be "present but not involved".

Please read the whole thread - will start posting now...but eating dinner so will take a while to get the 30 to 40 tweets done

Given the two crashes in one year and the recent #FANG blow up...how much cash do you think Mutual Funds are holding? How about the lowest ever!

More over their allocations to Stocks remain among the highest ever.

/2
And how are those stock/equity investments postured?

We’ll very precariously as #NYSE and #Nasdaq #Composite show...completely stopped at major resistance...not only that there is the breadth question which we will address later and is terrible
