1/ Seems to me that no-one who voted against May’s deal on basis it lacked strong enough assurances about closeness of future relationship could possibly vote for this - much harder Brexit beckons if this deal passes.
2/ For Scotland, this deal would take us out of EU, single market and customs union - all against our will. It would leave us as only part of UK being taken out without consent and with no say on future relationship. @theSNP will not vote for that.
3/ MPs should not fall for a deal/no deal framing. No Brexit/revoke is always an alternative to no deal.
4/ Brexit has shown that the only way for Scotland to be in charge of our own future is to become independent - that why we must have #indyref2 next year

1/ An early General Election is now a question of ‘when’ not ‘if’ - but Johnson mustn’t be allowed to dictate the timing as a device to avoid scrutiny and force through a ‘no deal’ Brexit.
2/ @theSNP relishes prospect of an election. But while our party interest might be served by voting for an election now, it is in the wider public interest to deny a PM threatening to defy the law any ability to cut and run in his own interests. We’ll act in the public interest.
3/ And when the election does come - as it soon will - @theSNP will put Scotland’s opposition to Brexit and our right to choose our own future as an independent nation at the very heart of the contest.

Postscript to by-election - thanks to the people of Shetland for being so welcoming to @theSNP activists. I’m proud that the SNP campaigns enthusiastically in all parts of our country. And big thanks to all our activists - especially to our amazing @YSINational and @SNPStudents
And biggest thanks of all to @tprwills - without a shadow of a doubt, one of the nicest and very best candidates I have had the honour of campaigning with. We have not seen the last of him...#TideIsTurning
Lastly, congratulations to @BeatriceWishart - being elected to @ScotParl is a huge honour for all of us and, party politics aside, I wish her well.

1. Congratulations to Boris Johnson on his election as leader of the Conservative Party. Despite our many differences, I will do all I can to develop a way of working with him that respects and protects Scotland’s views and interests.
2. However, it would be hypocritical not to be frank about the profound concerns I have at the prospect of his premiership. I am certain that the vast majority of people of Scotland would not have chosen to hand the keys of No 10 to someone with his views and track record.
3. Most immediately I, @scotgov and @theSNP will work with others to do everything we can to block his plan for a no deal Brexit - which would do catastrophic harm to Scotland.

1) #Brexit - the really obvious stinger
Numerous bright & articulate anti no dealers come on telly and get attacked by brexit supporters (whether MPs, commentators or the public) for "blocking Brexit"

Why do they never shut this down with "but Brexit MPs voted to stop Brexit!"
2) the oversimplified view is "get #Brexit done"

The reality is - which brexit? Because brexiters can't decide on one

So May's deal was Brexit, it stopped free movement, it had the red lines

The ERG voted against it, they voted against Brexit
3) now as remainers we all know why the hard brexiters hate May's deal, and as a Remainer I hate it as well.

But the point is, it *was* Brexit, and the hard brexiters *did* vote against it, and if they hadn't, we'd have left by now

1/ We wake up today with the knowledge that what Hitler once tried has now succeeded with the help of the treasonous MP's. Maybe you think this an exaggeration, I can assure you it is not. We have been attacked for decades now. A slow infiltration of traitors being ....
2/ bought & paid for by the EU to infiltrate every sector in Government & media. Do you not find it strange that all those who voted against the no deal #Brexit all say the same keywords, no matter which party they are affiliated with? Its been a game of cat & mouse before this..
3/ , with the socialist parties just doing enough to keep the agendas going & supposed "right" parties never getting anything done with in house rebellions like last night. We know why, as there are far left socialists working for the EU within these parties. The good news....

And let's get today's #Brexit thread started

#Letwin is expected to make an application for an emergency debate sometime after 17:30 which, if successful, will result in an emergency debate on Brexit sometime around 18:00

In the meantime the real stuff is still going on...

1/n
behind the scenes

Senior Tory rebels have been in to see Johnson and have basically come back out describing the meeting as being crap, and the Johnson is still sticking to the claim that the whip will be withdrawn from any Tory MP that votes against the government

2/n
All the current rumblings from Labour still seem to indicate that they won't back a vote calling for a General Election unless legislation is in place to stop a No Deal Brexit on 31 October, but that's still a case of wait and see

No 10 source: process to elect new leader would begin after leaving EU [NB that would be May 22 if MV passed]
No 10 source: Timetable to elect new leader in hand of others - PM will stay during process.

This is about new leadership for phase 2.
Seems to me that PM is making it conditional on having to get through phase 1 that her general message it is
price she is prepared to pay and that the message of her team is that “this is national interest above personal interest”

Latest piece. With short #Brexit thread
Mood in Brussels is bleak. Many senior EU officials now put odds of no-deal at 60% or higher—their central scenario. Discussions are starting on how to cushion the EU’s economy from any macroeconomic blow that may arise from no-deal Brexit 1/
Senior EU officials think May’s deal is sunk. They’re sceptical the Commons can coalesce around an alternative plan 2/

So #Brexit has become a game of semantics.

So Sir Graham Brady wants " legally binding guarantee that the Irish backstop could only be temporary."

But what does that mean? /1

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…
Is he leaving space to accept the Tusk-Junker letter of Jan 14 being written into a codicil?

That's been on offer for a while. Article 50 (and the backstop) are by definition "temporary".

BUT.../2

That’s a LONG way from the list reported by @ShippersUnbound this morning and described by his headline writers as “peace terms” (ho ho ho) /3
