Well as someone once said, that is that, the end. Last live (worked out I’ve done over 2000). Had an unforgettable three years. Will miss @SkyNews colleagues and the best politics team in Westminster. Have learnt so much from all of them. Now for a very long sleep until January.
.@SkyNews is a special place to work. A lot of companies talk about giving opportunities. They do it. They took a 26 year old who had done one live in his life with an obsession about politics and put me on TV, even election night. Had my dream job. How many people can say that?
And thank you to all of you for watching, for giving me ideas, sometimes listening to what I had to say and sometimes critiquing it. Hope you stick with me in 2020 when I become Policy Editor @BBCNewsnight. Have a great Christmas.
And for those people asking me why I’m going behind the camera...as if! 😉 as Policy Editor @BBCNewsnight will be covering politics, policy, economics and government both in Britain and around the world.

There’s been a lot of post election ink spilled on what happened to Labour in in its heartlands and what those voters think. Just as well to hear it from them directly. Here’s a piece I made with @LouisDegenhardt from Northfield a week before polling day.
It was here we were pretty sure Labour were in serious trouble. For comparison, I went to exactly the same place for Labour in 2017 and the reception was much better and I knew the party would do much better than thought.
If we thought things were bad for Labour in Birmingham, it was nothing compared to a few days later when we went to Leigh. Same thing. You don’t need the post match analysis about what these voters thought. Hear it for yourself.

To all those saying why on Earth is Labour still voting against the WAB, it’s v simple.

Firstly for the same reason they always have: they thought Brexit would damage their constituents incomes and job prospects. Fundamentally Lab MPs couldn’t reconcile that and still can’t.
Secondly, precisely for that reason they’ll vote against it now. Lab MPs think Brexit will be a slow burn economic car crash, as they always have. They think supply chains will relocate and investment in manufacturing will dry up. They want to be able to say, we told you so.
It’s worth saying they’re hardly alone in that thinking: the govt’s own forecasts say that this form of hard Brexit will be economically damaging.

Only in Britain could you be denied your place in the legislature for a fixed term by the electorate only to be put back in it only days later by the government for life.
Three cheers (two? One?) for democracy.
This appointment is darkly ironic given Zac Goldsmith was the man who campaigned endlessly for recall for MPs. He’s now just been given a place in the legislature for the rest of his life, where he will be accountable to no-one and where he cannot be removed.

Stress, anxiety and depression are not uncommon in a lawyer’s life. According to a survey conducted in the USA by John Hopkins University in the 1990s, lawyers are 3.6 times more prone to depression than other people.

India is the country with maximum depression in the world according to recent reports. I know a few things about that.
I have been working as a lawyer since 2012 and have been fighting depression for quite some years now.
My lived experience tells me that depression is not uncommon in the legal sector of India. When I talk about it, people around me opens up and confides in me about their troubles. After all, being a lawyer is a demanding job.

Okay Homestuck Twitter; as the current thread is super ridiculously long I'm going to split 2012 off into its own thread. Read down here to keep following me once you're done with the prior "history of the MSPA fandom" megathread.
I think it can't be overstated how much the fandom adored Jake English in particular. Basically the second he was revealed people latched onto him as literally the hottest thing in the story. He was the fandom's new husband and everyone loved him.
He was also someone who wouldn't be able to take a hint if there were airstrip lights guiding him to it. Not stupid so much as incredibly socially awkward due to his isolation from humanity. He also basically immediately overshadowed Jane in the fandom's eye

1. So, I’ve been rather quiet lately on here and also haven’t been writing many stories lately. Here’s why washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…
2. Today we’re launching the first story in a series about places that have already warmed by nearly or above 2 degrees Celsius, or 3.6 Fahrenheit – roughly double the global and U.S. (lower 48 state) average.
3. Basically, it’s a series about hotspots, or places that for a variety of reasons are experiencing the worst of climate change – and in many cases facing severe impacts already. Hotspots like these

The motion is weak and the basis is LOLable, but my suspicion is that the judge will grant it (though likely for less than 3 weeks)

Defendants will argue the burden is on Plaintiff to show good cause (the motion doesn't do that), plus ongoing harassment

Positive for the Defendants. He gives their attorneys lots of usable material

A good rule of thumb as y'all see an assortment of "bUt ThEy LiEd UnDeR oAtH" tweets from conVics is that they're typically projecting – accusing others of the things they themselves or R.Broly have done

Consider these excerpt from the R.Broly deposition...

Fresno City Council meeting April 4, 2019! Councilman Steve Brandau’s last Meeting before moving to Board of Supervisors. Council will have Special Election August 13 to fill his position. The Mayor’s gas tax ($172 million) allocation scheduled for today has already been called
“dead on arrival” and thus pulled. Other items to be considered : will allow employees to use Kaiser for health , BMG to provide emergency workplace loans for employees, Workshop on Recruiting a new Chief of Police, Councilman Paul Caprioglio to become Council President with
Brandau’s @stevebrandau resignation. Grizzly Fest is on the consent calendar. Doesn’t seem to be the raucous contention over that 2-day event happening at Woodward Park like last year’s Council meeting regarding it.
