SKY VIEWS: How might the next 3 weeks play out? Parliament can, and should, take back control. Having laid down a law to block a No Deal, MPs should be ready to finish what they have started & remove the PM. Many fear an election but the deadlock must end

Good morning! Here is a wrap of local elections trends (caveat 1000s seats still to go)
* Brexit backlash for Tories & Labour. Tories heavy losses (-380 seats/11 councils). But v bad for Labour too. Votes not coming to them. Ominous
* Lib Dem & independents big winners 1/
Tories suffer Brexit backlash. Lost 15 councils/ -270 seats (15 councils)
* LDs taking seats off Tories lost in 2015 with gains in SW (Bath, NE Somerset, Taunton)
* Bad night but not total bloodbath
* Pain in Tory shires, PM to Wales/Scot to address activists there 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2/
V bad night for Lab, esp in pro-Brexit north. Net loss of seats & councils
*At this point in cycle you’d expect govt losses to go to main opposition. But party struggled; won Trafford but lost control of Wirral, Bolsover Hartlepool
* Big blow 4 positioning as govt-in-waiting 3/

Sky Views: Ending austerity is PM's big Brexit con > Designed solely to push Chequers through her own party, the PM has given Corbyn not just an open goal but an empty pitch on which to play the Tories news.sky.com/story/sky-view…
The No 10 narrative will go like this: ‘Vote down Chequers and risk economic Armageddon’ (complete with some scary Treasury modelling on what a No-Deal looks like)
The whips will then use the prospect of economic Armageddon to press wobbling Brexiteers - and Labour MPs - to vote with May on Brexit

Parliament has been prorogued, the benches are empty, and Boris Johnson finally has a chance to rule without scrutiny from MPs. The perfect time for a thread about constitutional crisis.
The term is everywhere these days - Reuters have even done a helpful guide reaching back to Magna Carta. For once I think the circumstances probably justify the hyperbole. What’s the problem and how did we get here? uk.reuters.com/article/uk-bri…
The political problem is Brexit. The constitutional problem is the relationship between the executive, legislature & public. (Which is why last night's Commons debate was so fractious.) There’s an internal and external dimension to this — let’s start with the internal.

Remainers, #FBPE, Bregretters. WE NEED HELP. PLEASE RT

I'm going to tell a story that is disturbing to YOUR world view

It is sufficiently annoying that some may prefer to block than read. I beg you to hear me out

We do not have very long.
YOU are being used to enable Brexit
3 years ago, even if you disagree, the EURef was won by 17.4m people. Some say it was unclear.

BULL SHIT
The promise was UNAMBIGUOUS

Take back control of our laws, money and borders. Same trade.

Now, deal or no deal, gives us all FAR LESS control of all 3 and trade Hell.
I'll take a risk. Understand this is a METAPHOR not a Recommendation, I don't wish you to unfollow. If you get it, please help those who don't
🙏OMM🙏

Today is #StopTheCoup but in a different world REMAINERS are on the streets demanding LEAVE VOTERS get what they were promised

Letwin voted on first. No biggie, but the next 15 minutes could determine the rest of our lives
Get in! 329 yes, 302 no. Government defeated. The EU offered Parliament the right to take back control, and Parliament finally bloody took it.
Wednesday night is going to be an absolute corker.

Having watched Hannan's interview with @dw_conflictzone his position appears to be:
1. It is imperative that we smash it all up so that we can take back control, have a heated debate in the UK, and then largely hand it back again;
2. He'd like something based on an "EFTA template" which means the 4 freedoms, payments and the acquis with the added bonus of having no vote on the EU laws that might later affect us;
3. He discounts any possibility that we might, end up harming ourselves in the process because:
(a) We'll increase trade with other nations so as to more than compensate and overall investment in the UK will defninitely increase;
