“I am proud to stand with the people –from all walks of life & every corner of our country...Today we will be asking you to add your name to a letter we will send to the powerful in the UK & in Europe”

Help Tusk to hold our backs
Link to letter in Tweet 2 independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
We are up to 220k signatures now so that means nearly 180k since yesterday afternoon.

Good!

But we need a million so Turks knows we are serious.

When you ask people make sure they know this isn’t another petition but a letter to support the extension.

@Seanaid1 has just drawn my attention to this (“impact assessments) sneaked out last night.

Have you seen it @jdportes @anandMenon1 @DavidHenigUK @SamuelMarcLowe @ChrisGiles_ @SamCoatesSky @AdamBienkov

It doesn’t seem to have been signed off by Gov specialists in impact assessments but by James Dudderidge.

This looks very weird to me but we could use some expert eyes on it.

It doesn’t look much like any impact assessment in content or form that I have seen to date.
A completely random selection, to take an example says of Fisheries.

That makes a lot of assumptions (not least we get that Fisheries Act through)

What red tape will apply to fish caught in the NI waters territory for instance? I am quite confused.

So we know what Boris Johnson has been told. “More than 4 weeks scrutiny needed for the WAB”

This is wilful, abusive negligence.

And it is us that pays for the abuse.
37 WORKING days here from Johnson’s CS legal adviser.

Working days, NB.

That takes us to the end of 2019, 31/12/2019 assuming MPs are actually given Fridays to work in their constituencies.
I would remind you that this is Johnson’s own fault.

He only submitted the first draft of the WA last week to the EU (feels like last year). 2.5 months into his “leadership.”.

Having wasted time on prorogation.

Do you know what illustrates how utterly mad and irresponsible this car crash timetable is.

MPs (that have to understand and think through the consequences of each word and clause) are talking about the 115 WAB.

That is bad enough.

But there is so much more.
Then, stage by stage, consider is the way this feeds into the neural network of related legislation including
💥the 541 page WA
💥 the 5 other pieces of legislation also released yesterday
💥These include the 104 page Delegated Powers Memorandum
3/. Then, as one works ones way though each one seeing how each part fits into (or conflicts with ) all other related parts you start realising that you have to check other preexisting pieces of legislation that are impacted by it.

This is patient, detailed, complicated work.

Proud as Punch to have just received invitation to the #Bavarian "New Citizens Reception" #neubürgerempfang in October at the #Residenz #Muenchen from @BayStMI Home Office Minister Joachim Herrmann & with Bavarian President @Markus_Soeder
This was the event held in Nuremberg in the summer for new north Bavarian citizens.
The southern Bavarian reception is held in the wonderful 17th Century Imperial Hall of the 'Residence', the seat of the Dukes then Electors and finally Kings of Bavaria until the monarchy was dissolved in 1918 after they "mislead" the folk into WWI

People that should know better are openly speculating that #Epstein was murdered, or that foul play was involved. Here's a short thread explaining precisely why appealing as it may be, this conspiracy theory is both likely wrong, & ultimately harmful (1/n)
To many, Epstein's suicide seems too "convenient" because it might let other powerful people evade justice. So it seems more likely foul play was involved. But straight off the bat, we should note that even in America, suicide is more than twice as likely as murder (2/n)
But, you might say - Epstein was a prisoner & part of a different population. Sure - but as this article in @TheAtlantic explains today, prisoner suicide in USA a real issue. Note the estimated suicide rate of prisoners is ~10x base rate (3/n) theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Today, James Alex Fields was sentenced to 419 years in prison.

I'll leave the precise details of what happened that day to good folks like @AltRightTruth .

This is a thread on why his tragic show trial and conviction are so important and how we can work to save him.
As many of us already know, Fields is completely innocent. He had no intent to harm anyone that day and expressed immediate and deep empathy for those injured. He had a very challenging home life/upbringing and by all accounts is a sympathetic character. A young white man.
He was one of many young men who took a big risk that day. A risk to come out in support of his people and his heritage. He heard the words of so many of us and took the opportunity to stand for his people. We don't need to rehash the debate around that day to recognize this.

People don't seem to understand that illegals don't even have to vote, to help Dems get more votes. They merely need to come here. They're counted as more people in a district, so dems get extra voting members in Congress, MORE VOTES for anything dems want fairus.org/issue/societal…
Facts - no emotional "compassion" issues involved. Opening borders to thousands of illegals factually transforms our government. Citizens of foreign nations cause numbers to skew in favor of democratic party, including allocation of funds (resources based on population of state)
Those in favor of opening borders to unvetted people crossing illegally, choose compassion for lawbreakers (organized by powerful people with deliberate intention to skew our government in favor of democrats), OVER compassion for Americans who will be harmed by reckless policies.

Today’s latest Brexit shambles from the Government - plastered over the papers and on display on broadcast - is merely the latest panicked response to the momentum generated this summer by the campaign for a People's Vote on any Brexit deal #PeoplesVote /1
This week politicians return to Westminster and we are no nearer to any deal at all but the ground has shifted since they went on holiday. All summer long the impetus has shifted across the country towards the #PeoplesVote campaign. /2
It is not surprising the #PeoplesVote campaign should grow and grow as the public discover the consequences of a badly botched departure from the EU that the Brextremists want to dump on the United Kingdom. /3

Living in my country #Yemen is like a journey into a nightmare war. Thread:
-I saw and heard things that I will never forget.
-I don't sleep well at night.
-14 million people are hungry while nearly 19 million (70% of the population) are in need of humanitarian assistance.
-It broke my heart to see so many undernourished children. Their skin worn thin and barely covering their bones, they could only make their distress known with thin. They were so weak they could barely stand.
-I saw people with their limbs blown off, & worse.
-I can't forget the expressions of sadness on the faces of poor people,
-I have realized that there is no one and nowhere to run to if something bad happens like #Saudi bombardment.
-I have lost 6 of my best friends.
