1/ This Conservative party summary of EU state aid rules includes a false/misleading claim. It says that "aid must be approved by the EU institutions to be lawful", referring to Article 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU.

This is untrue, as there's an exception ->
2/ Here's Art 108. Para 4 allows for the adoption of block exemptions for notifying State aid: eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/…

Details on block exemptions here: ec.europa.eu/competition/st…

They apply to SMEs, regional aid, training, research, transport, the environment, workers and more
3/ Around 95% of State aid measures don't have to be notified to the EU Commission - yet the Tories today claimed that all of them had to be. Please fact check them, @SebastianEPayne and other journos reporting this

It was a leaders' debate, not a parents' evening.

The #EU is pretty set to grant #Brexit extension of three months, to Jan. 31 2020. A short #thread on why nytimes.com/2019/10/23/wor…
Last week me & others objected to parts of the British press pushing the idea that Juncker was "ruling out" an extension. Reasons: 1/ by law he can't & 2/ this spin was on by No10, in a bid to push the deal through parlt. Now that's failed, let's see what this extension is about
Jan. 31 2020 is the date laid out in the Benn Act. The EU does not want to come up with its own new deadline. Shorter than 3 months wd be seen as helping Boris. Longer, as trying to help Remainers by backing a 2nd referendum. So they are likely to take the date the parlt passed

Earlier this week news broke that a suspected illegal alien serial killer was charged in Texas w/allegedly murdering 12 elderly women

Did some digging and the only coverage I could find from CNN on this was from this morning: a 21-second clip that aired at 6:37 EST on a Saturday
There is still not a single word about this guy on their website
When CNN has a narrative they want to push, like gun control, they makeup facts and refuse to answer where they got their statistics from, which they greatly distort

The @NRA & #gun companies are not evil but they are part of the problem. And the amazing thing is: all the folks clamoring to #BoycottNRA don't even know how bad it really is!
5 things the #NRA & gun manufacturers have successfully lobbied to create...
1) Background chk system overseen by the ATF that is forbidden to digitize records & so must keep all records on paper
2) BG chk system that is enormously hobbled at ATF bec of extreme funding shortages so that it can't do its job well & so that the NRA can claim it doesn't work
3) Passage of the #Dickey Amendment that forbids gov't research from reaching conclusions that might be construed as advocating for gun control, thus allowing the #NRA to say, "No studies show..." and leaving legislators with no data to back up laws that might work
