The European Union’s full devastating point-by-point rejection of Boris Johnson’s Brexit proposals for the Irish border has been revealed in documents obtained by the Guardian....

Meanwhile desperation from the Torygraph, they even have to resort to a cartoon for their imagined public opposition to Brexit delay.

Absolutely nothing to see here... honest m'lud.

'....after Johnson helped to raise Arcuri's firm Innotech’s profile by giving keynote speeches at two of its first events, Arcuri won a place on a prestigious government-run visa scheme....'

theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
Arcuri broke her week-long silence to declare: “The stories you are writing are false. These are fake news.”

But when a reporter pointed out publicly available govt docs prove she was accepted on to the scheme after Johnson promoted her business, she replied: “No comment.”
'The Guardian also understands that Arcuri attended an event hosted at Buckingham Palace by the Duke of York in December 2014. Her latest company, Hacker House, apparently later claimed to have the backing of Prince Andrew for a scheme providing cyber badges for children.'

When the BBC invites a known political extremist to spread his misinformed Brexit poison they know what they're going to get - "I think there should be riots" says Brendan O'Neill of Spiked Magazine - the Koch Foundation funded reincarnation of the now defunct 'Living Marxism'.
Rob Burley's through the looking glass on this one... "O’Neill’s assertion that there “should” be riots if Brexit delayed was immediately picked up on and pushed back by Adam Fleming as well as other guests." Yeah, pushing back like a champ here...
FYI @RobBurl this is how you deal with someone talking absolute bollocks... h\t @RTEOne and @ClaireByrneLive

Worth listening to the Prime Minister's sister, Rachel Johnson on today's World At One, as she opines that her brother's outrageous behaviour could be down to...
Doesn't it make this all the more interesting???
Dominic Cummings to Downing St colleagues, August 2019: "I'm going to go and meet billionaire hedge fund managers and get a giant pot of cash from them."

#BREAKING -- #EU Parliament's #Brexit Committee sees UK govt's new proposal 'not a basis for an agreement'.
UK's proposal to give Northern Ireland assembly a say over regulatory arrangements not acceptable ~senior #EU official
The Northern Ireland issue is extremely problematic over any Brexit solution. Even if unionists now agree to an Irish Sea customs border, there are no possible guarantees that a future Stormont constellation will not blow the whole thing up and claim alignment with the UK.

I've finally read the Mueller report. If you haven't read it yet, at least join me in this this thread. It's long (71 frames) but you won't regret it.
1) If you'd like to follow along. This is the document I read. It's a searchable PDF.

scribd.com/document/40672…
2) The Introduction to Volume 1 establishes:

a) Russia interfered with our 2016 elections
b) Russia acted in favor of Donald Trump
c) Russia acted to disparage Hillary Clinton
d) Numerous links between Russian entities and the Trump Campaign were discovered.

I've read parts of the Mueller report, but I've not read the entire document from start to finish. I'm going to do that now and will comment as I go along. I expect this will take me days to accomplish since I'll have to fit it in with my home & work responsibilities.

There's a sense the significance of the conflict in Northern Ireland & the importance of protecting the peace has been lost in #Brexit drama.

So the #BrexitBorderlands project set out to chronicle the Troubles in a new way - interactive data visualisaiton.

Thread on data here:
This is every death over 30 years of The Troubles visualised.

The tool is weepeople.css by @ProPublica and the data is from Post-Mortem, a database of deaths by Michael McKeown, hosted by @UlsterCAIN.

Read 'The Irish Times - Keeping The Peace' here:

irishtimes.com/news/world/bre…
Deaths are listed chronologically with a shadow to represent every single person who died in 30 years of the Troubles

Click on a figure to find out the individual's name and how, where and when they died.

What is most interesting about this piece by Dr Graham Gudgin on @BrexitCentral is how virtually identical it is to every other pro-Brexit piece on the Irish border.

Here's a brief thread noting some of these common features.

1/
brexitcentral.com/dublin-needs-t…
The border as battleground:
"The Irish border thus remains the key battleground in the war of attrition that is the UK-EU Brexit talks."

This has the effect of asserting that if UK moves on red lines here it loses the Brexit war.

Thus raising the stakes & raising tensions.
2/
It blames the change of Taoiseach from Kenny to Varadkar for "hard stance from the Irish govt that has soured UK-Irish relations".
It sees Irish intentions as barely disguised irredentism.
Yet lays all responsibility for progress on Irish govt accepting "practical solutions".

Having spent two years remoaning about #brexit I have now quit complaining as I now see there are tremendous opportunities from leaving the European Union which will be embraced globally thread
Patrick Minford of economists for #brexit has stated that #brexit will mean the virtual end of UK manufacturing therefore many European countries will enjoy a relocation windfall
The great repeal Bill allows ministers to make ammend and unmake law without parliamentary approval meaning a huge #brexitopportunity opportunity for corrupt ministers to apply market mechanisms to political decision making
