.@Jacob_Rees_Mogg confirms there will be important second reading vote on the Brexit legislation, the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, tomorrow. And importantly that he expects entire bill to complete its passage through parliament by close of business on Thursday. Just three days...
for this historic and complex legislation. Amazing. There will be deep concern among many MPs
To be clear, when I said parliament, I meant "Commons". Lords will consider after Thursday.

I've been aware for some time that the prime minister and chancellor have a preferred candidate to be next governor of the Bank of England - and it is none of the five who were interviewed a few weeks ago (Cunliffe, Bailey, Broadbent, Vadera, Shafik) and passed the...
the competence threshold. Annoyingly I don't know who it is. But it is someone of international stature, perceived to be thoroughly independent. So maybe Rajan Raghuram is back in the frame. Anyway the interesting point is that there are only a few days to wrap this up and...
make the appointment, because an appointment is prohibited during general election purdah. And if the appointment falls through, the current governor Mark Carney may yet have to be prevailed on to delay his exit again (from end of January 2020)

Three things. 1) Government may need to go for 12 Dec election because has to pass NI budget this week to keep schools and public services in province open, and LibDem’s 9 Dec would not give enough time before dissolution to pass that budget. 2) The PM will...
decide in just a few minutes that he cannot restart debate on his Brexit law, the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, before an election. He gave Labour and rebel Tory MPs till 6 to give him a pledge they would support the bill on truncated timetable. No sign of them doing that. And...
3) there has been concern that any December election would be hugely difficult for campaigners, because new electoral roll is set to be introduced 4 December. However I am told Cabinet Office would take steps to speed up publication of new electoral roll

.@BorisJohnson is having one last push to get his Brexit deal approved by Parliament - with his fallback being a bill very like LibDems’ to hold a general election in December. No.10 officials are ringing those MPs who voted for 2nd reading of Withdrawal Agreement...
but then voted against the programme motion, the very short timetable to debate the bill, saying unless they commit in public by Monday pm to vote for the Withdrawal Agreement Bill by “mid November”, the government will introduce a bill...
very like the LibDems’ bill, to amend the Fixed Term Parliament Act and hold December election.

#BREXIT CLIENT EDITION , a thread 🇪🇺

Boris Johnson

When you started as a companion, this isn’t what you had in mind, but here you are now! Your main reg, has always been the black sheep, a true rebel. Austerity in the streets, 👱🏻‍♂️iwillgetadealnomatterwhatittakes in the sheets
Jo Johnson

He books you for a month long sugar baby arrangement. leaves half through. “Sorry, I just want to spend more time with my family.”
Jezza Corbyn

The “woke bloke”. Respects you as an intellectual equal to say “You’re above this babe, you shouldn’t objectify yourself like this” Despite being your main regular.

You don’t know whether he wants to stay or leave...🤷🏼‍♂️

Good morning and welcome to another #Brexit thread

I'll be attempting to cover the events that are happening both in the Commons and in the Lords today so this is going to be a long one

1/n
So first things first, hello to all my new followers and here's a quick breakdown of what's happening today, and a quick precis of how business in each House is carried out and why really arcane things seem to happen that bear little-to-no relationship to reality

2/n
What's expected for today?

In the Lords the Opposition and Crossbench peers have laid a motion that will allow them the time to scrutinise the Bill that's about to be debated in the Commons. They want to debate this Bill on Friday at the latest. More on that later

Thread!! Big thread! Oh, coffee! Don’t go any further without coffee! This is an 80+ tweet thread about tax! People with goldfish-type attention spans, or people with no interest in tax or #Brexit need not even attempt. You have been warned!! There are three facets…
…to the “Brexit was about tax avoidance” conspiracy theories. We have “Brexit was brought in after the EU introduced the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive”, “Brexiteers want to keep details of their tax avoidance schemes secret from the EU” and “Brexit is about protecting…
…the UK’s tax havens. Did you know Mogg’s firm made £103million profit and paid zero tax?! Shocking!” The success of the conspiracy theory lies in the complexity of the truth. “The truth is out there” as they say. Well in this case, it’s in here. For the first time all…

I am proud to present the updated ladybird story of #Brexit the story of a heroic national triumph
It is true that some are bored Shitless of #Brexit but contrary to the claims of remoaners this boredom will disappear and there will be renewed enthusiasm once people realise that this is just the end of the beginning there is 10yrs of 10x more intense #Brexit to come
Some say #Brexit deferred is brexit cancelled but this would be surrender to naysayers. @DominicRaab famed brexiter plans to celebrate #Brexit day by jumping off a high building with wings to disprove so called experts who claim this will not allow him to fly to a soarway future

Jeremy Corbyn is a lifelong brexist he has voted with the tory Europhobe right more times than any other Labour MP #Brexit might be said to be his most consistent belief
Corbyn's own brother said he would have campaigned to leave if he wasn't labour leader #brexit
Old friends and political allies are all of the same opinion Jeremy corbyn would have campaigned for #Brexit had he not been Labour leader

Jacob Rees-Mogg on ERG chickening our of publishing its grand #Brexit plan: “The truth is we reconsidered.”

The truth is you lot couldn’t organise a piss-up in a brewery. Much easier to criticise than to conceive workable ideas that don’t appear written in crayon, innit Jake?
Brexiters really are the proverbial dog that caught the car.
