1/4 Watching Boris Johnson on the Marr programme as he tries to make us forget that the Tories have been in power for nearly 10 years. The only thing is, we haven’t forgotten. We haven’t forgotten the closed libraries and SureStart centres and the growth in food banks.
2/4 We haven’t forgotten the worst performance against waiting times targets since the targets were set, the shortage of 43,000 nurses and 15,000 fewer hospital beds in our precious NHS.
3/4 We haven’t forgotten the cuts to school budgets, the tripling of tuition fees and the abolition of student maintenance grants.

🇺🇸Here we go. Chair @AdamSchiff gaveled in. Trump Impeachment Hearings have begun at 10:05 am

Dedicating this thread to @RepCummings who said: "When we're dancing with the angels, the question will be asked: In 2019, what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy intact?"

1/
@AdamSchiff @RepCummings Schiff begins by mapping out procedure. Chair Schiff will make an opening statement, then Ranking Member Nunes. Before he can finish, Rep. Ratcliffe interrupted. Wants to know how many 45 minute rounds of questioning Schiff and Nunes will each have. Schiff said not clear yet.

@AdamSchiff @RepCummings Schiff begins his opening statement by reminding us that Russia invaded Ukraine. Did Trump seek to exploit ally's vulnerability to Russia by conditioning official acts on their willingness to assist in investigations to help Trump's re-election campaign.

Here we go. Last #PMQs of this Parliament. Possibly the last for either Johnson and Corbyn. The start of #GE19.
Starts off with series of back handed compliments from PM to Speaker. Hails him as a “player in your own right” and an “uncontrollable tennis machine”
Corbyn: “I hope Mr Speaker you will indulge me a moment to say a word about you...I’m sure you will.” #pmqs

A UK Brexit Update: A Prime Minister of Opposition

If you are here, then Congratulations! This is all the summary on Boris Johnson's new UK government that you’ll need to connect the dots on the outlook for Brexit from an observer market practitioner perspective.

Enjoy! 1/
The UK has a new kind of government - A Government of Opposition:
Despite the logic of economists, parliamentary observers and pollsters, a no-deal Brexit is the most likely government policy. This remains, as we've consistently argued for the past 3yrs, the default scenario. 2/
How did we get here?
The EU Referendum on 23/06/16- a day of torrential rain, flash floods & thunderstorms that caused transportation chaos across the UK, leaving thousands stranded & unable to vote– delivered a Leave result, w/ a margin of 2.73% (1.3m votes) of the electorate 3/

Recently Ellie Reeves #Labour MP was reportedly facing a vote of "No Confidence" and "Deselection" @elliereeves received a lot of support from Jess Phillips, Tom Watson etc. No motion was tabled with her CLP so the furore over a pregnant Labour MP being deselected was nonsense.
So let us move on about 1 week from this bogus story to the equally spurious #PanoramaHatchetJob about #Labour and #Antisemitism The usual suspects showed their sham horror of the apparent problems in Labour. #TomWatson #jessphillips
Tom Watson belittled, harangued, bullied and called into question the reliability and fitness of @JennieGenSec to act as General Secretary. Some might question my point on reliability etc. But the image I have attached which Watson and Phillips promote does exactly that.

1. A short story of #Brexit in four acts. Act 1) in 2010 Coalition comes to power and presses on with dramatic #austerity, wrecking the UK's social compact... causing massive economic harm...leading to 2015 General Election
2.... in which Cameron promised an #EUref, while secretly speculating on another hung parliament with #LibDems blocking such a referendum theguardian.com/world/2019/jan… Yet, Act 2) lots of #austerity disgruntled #LibDems & 2010 non-voters, along with some Cons voters switched to..
3. #UKIP in 2015 General Election. #LibDems got wiped out, #Cons gained 27 seats from LibDems (out 28 overall seat gain), while #Labour lost massively to #SNP -- allowing Cameron to go alone, being pushed by #Brexiteers in #Conservative party to go ahead with #EUref.

🏛️In an extremely brave move last week, U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp stood up for #Democrats and survivors of sexual assault and rape by voting "No" on Brett Kavanaugh.

😡Unfortunately, she is facing backlash in her conservative state, #NorthDakota

cnn.com/videos/politic…
💸Please consider giving Senator Heitkamp a little help—a small donation of $1 or $2 is enough—to thank her for standing up for #Democracy and women's rights.

🐬WE NEED TO #FlipTheSenate

🔑Her seat is key to doing this.
🔗Here's the link to make a donation of any size to Senator Heidi Heitkamp & to find out more about her.
