Right. Before we ice the champers, am hearing notes of caution.

So definitely a 'negotiation'...but at this point somewhat exploratory.

Understand @SteveBarclay didn't bring hard details to meet with @MichelBarnier today. /1
@SteveBarclay @MichelBarnier So when does a negotiation become a 'tunnel'?

When there's more detail. Because if this NCP for NI idea is to fly, then there's LOTS to swallow for the Brits.

This from the @MESandbu piece./2
@SteveBarclay @MichelBarnier @MESandbu So let's all wait and see, when the detail lands, whether the UK really is moving as the EU expects/wants/hopes.

Patience mes braves/3 ENDS

So. Will @duponline @DUPleader agree to @BorisJohnson #brexit deal?

Is it all just bluster, or will it emerge that the DUP horse was led to water and - when confronted with pressing button on new world - refused to drink? /1
@duponline @DUPleader @BorisJohnson Because the real hard issue is that @BorisJohnson buccaneer agenda means that Northern Ireland and Great Britain would move into very divergent realities - however you dress that up.

The DUP is having its face pushed hard up against the glass by this deal /2
@duponline @DUPleader @BorisJohnson There is talk they are "under pressure" to cave in - but viewed another way it is @BorisJohnson who is under pressure.

He's the one with the "do or die" Oct 31 deadline. The DUP might not feel so bothered about that.

But to the issues... /3

The #brexit rollercoaster takes a downward swing... I'd say this.

1) The @BorisJohnson move on customs implicitly is an admission that 'no deal' isn't serious

2) That even it was, the deal space is now clearly identified. No deal is a just a way back to where we are now /1
@BorisJohnson 3) The DUP acceptance of special status for NI on Single Market regs always opened the idea, for a customs fix on same lines.

4) The NI-only deal is what EU wants. It offered CU for UK as a fix, but big MS know that UK with 'better than Turkey' CU access is headache/2
@BorisJohnson 5) This deal is an NI-only variant which allows the UK free to do an FTA with EU - where the EU will set terms, as by far the bigger partner.

6) NI does well in that hard brexit scenario, tho not as well as it would have done in @theresa_may deal /3

So @DavidDavisMP tells @bbcnickrobinson that we will "maintain" access to the EU market under Canada-minus trade deal (true, but reduced access) and that will unlock the "spectacular" benefits of free trade deals...so the sale the begins. Can @PhilipHammondUK vote for that? /1
@DavidDavisMP @bbcnickrobinson @PhilipHammondUK David Davis dismisses treasury forcecasts as mumbo-jumbo, but as @bbcnickrobinson tries to point out, on any reading erecting barriers to trade with advanced markets on our doorstep has to hurt - whatever your views on the models.

But if you are interested in models../2
@DavidDavisMP @bbcnickrobinson @PhilipHammondUK Then @UKandEU team including @jdportes
have done some to assess impact of @BorisJohnson Canada-minus deal, depending on migration scenarios. Striking how there isn't that much difference with No Deal. /3

NEW: details of today's Brexit briefing to EU27 ambassadors — according to a diplomatic note of the meeting, diplomats were told:

- UK proposals to date have not been the basis for a negotiation
- It has been made clear to the UK that any solution cannot be time limited and must be legally operative. Virtual solutions are unacceptable

- Barclay understood the EU position, diplomats were told
- In his meeting with Barclay, Barnier pushed back against the suggestion that the UK had made concessions so the EU should too

- He told Barclay that attempts at blaming the EU were not helpful

Jews are SO supportive of non-White mass immigration! And Fake Israel desperately needs Jews, so it just makes sense to export them all to "Israel". Don't you agree @jaredkushner @IvankaTrump?

*Stares directly at the camera*

When the show’s “Previously On” montage has to quote earlier seasons to remind you that Dany has a dark side right before she turns to the dark side, you did not do the dark side story correctly.

I finally understand. I am the Hound. Game of Thrones is the Mountain. Let us go out together.

I’ll just leave this here. For no particular reason. None at all.

The FB press release on the data breach discloses enough to conclude it was way more devastating than reported. It makes two partial disclosures: one on quality of the hack (how well did hackers control a hacked account), one on quantity (how many accounts hacked at that level).
The quality of the hack is extremely high: if you fully own an account, you could (through "View As") fully control the account of any of their friends as well (by pretending to be them). One could use this to hop towards high value targets, from friend to friend.
Quality of hack is so high one could also use this full control to log into any place where Facebook Login would have been used (Tinder, Spotify, etc), and access to all the user data there as well. If you read carefully the press release it is implied, but could be clearer.
