READ details of the “civil war” here:
👇👇👇 theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
Alastair Campbell gives his take here - a private battle raging for months now our in the open:

Here’s flavour of the splits. A senior figure says Baldwin/McGrory were the ones keeping the campaign on track.

However, another says: “Baldwin was out of control and James was out of his depth. Something had to change. Patrick (Heneghan, new CEO) has the respect of staff.”

🚨 NEW: A new plan tonight to offer Boris Johnson the pre-Christmas election he craves. 🚨

The Lib Dems have drawn up a bill that would allow Johnson to secure a December election with a simple majority of MPs. Crucially, the SNP will back it.

THREAD. 1/6
Their plan: a bill that amends the Fixed-term Parliaments Act, fixing an election for Monday December 9.

It also states that the plan is cancelled should the EU only offer a short Brexit extension, to safeguard against no deal.

2/6
Their plan would be that the bill, if adopted by Johnson, could be taken through parliament on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

Parliament dissolves next Monday. Election December 9. Happy days.

NEW: Michael Gove has said he “deeply regrets” taking cocaine 20 years ago. So what was his take on drug laws then?

He wrote about drug laws in The Times, 20 years ago...

His view? He rejected the “London’s liberal consensus” that drug laws should be liberalised.

THREAD:
In December 1999, he wrote a piece about pressure to loosen drug laws headlined “When it's right to be a hypocrite”.

It said that cocaine should not be glamourised and laws should not be liberalised.

He attacked Channel 4 for glamourising the drug:
He says drugs are dangerous but laws not enforced:

This campaign is not owned by any one person. It belongs to the millions who support us all across the country, from the staff in Millbank and in the field, to the volunteers & activists, including the million who marched in London nine days ago 1/6
FFS was set up to put young and diverse voices front and centre of the People’s Vote campaign, it is because of the efforts of staff and our activists that we’ve been able to achieve this, not City PR Execs who rarely visit the office. 2/7
Late last night, Roland Rudd, as outgoing chair of Open Britain (one of the founder organisations of the People's Vote campaign), sent an email to all staff announcing a boardroom coup. He did this without consultation with FFS staff. 3/7

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

@StalinIsBack
1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
