NEW: The Prime Minister has been taken to intensive care.

Number 10: “Over the course of this afternoon, the condition of the Prime Minister has worsened and, on the advice of his medical team, he has been moved to the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital.”
PM was moved to intensive care at 7pm

Before he went he asked Dominic Raab to deputise for him. As far as coronavirus is concerned, Raab is the effective acting Prime Minister
Question will be whether, if the PM gets worse, the PM may have to temporarily resign and someone take the full responsibilities of the office

Assuming the PM is in intensive care, there will be, assuming recovery, a period of convalescence which could take some time

NEW: Danish PM Mette Frederiksen has announced that because #covid19 in Denmark is under control, she intends to open nurseries and schools for the youngest children after Easter. She says it’s the first stage of a “controlled reopening.”
Danish PM does say, however, that if Danes stop practising social distancing over Easter than the controlled reopening won’t happen.
But Frederiksen says that whatever happens with the rest of the unwinding of the lockdown, mass gatherings will continue to be prohibited in Denmark until the end of August.

Labour is promising the “most radical and ambitious plan to transform our country in decades.”

Does the public trust Jeremy Corbyn to be the man to deliver that transformation?

If not, could it be counterproductive to have such a complex, costly manifesto?

THREAD 1/16
Opinium asks questions about leadership in each poll, from 'how are the leaders doing?', to 'who would make the best PM?' to questions about what sort of person the party leaders are.

How are the main contenders doing on some of the key leadership questions right now?

All the details are from the most recent Opinium political polling, questions asked 13th-15th November.

💣QuidProQuo💣

Amb Bill Taylor testifies:

The body language of the people hearing the testimony was, ‘holy s---’ — seriously,”

The testimony as a “sea change” that “could accelerate” the impeachment inquiry.

It was “the most thorough accounting we’ve had of the timeline.”
💣QuidProQuo2💣

Taylor described the hold on aid as a “nightmare” and said it had already shaken UKR’s faith in the US.

Taylor Confirms There Was Quid Pro Quo Demand In Trump’s UKR Call:

Taylor testified Trump held up military aid to UKR until it agreed to investigate Biden.
💣QuidProQuo3💣

📌Threat of withholding military aid, & an Oval Office mtg.

📌Explicit quid pro quo: which was relayed to directly to Zelensky:

📌Both a meeting & military aid were dependent on the inv’ns (2016elex /server/Biden) & a public announcement (public box) of same.

The great grandson of the Minister of Interior in the cabinet of the last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire is about to be elected leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister of the UK.His name is @BorisJohnson.Only the Ancient of Days could have done this.God is truly great!
One century ago,the Interior Minister of Turkey was Ali Kemal Bey,who had established the Anglophile Society,advocating that Turkey become a British protectorate like Kuwait,Qatar andJohor were at that time.He was hopelessly on the wrong side of history!1/
...When Atatürk completed the reconquest of Turkey from the British, French, Italian, Greek and Armenian control in November 1922, Atatürk’s colleague, General Nureddin, had Ali Kemal captured; he was then lynched and hanged from a tree...2/

The manhunt against the woman who questioned army over the rape of the ten year old Pashtun girl continues. While a large contingent of police raided her house, the Chairman of Punjab Commission on The Status of Women was sacked for refusing to give a statement against her.
In an attempt to bring a semblance of modern governance to Balochistan, HR Council Balochistan clearly told Pakistan to stop abducting Baloch women and children and block all sorts of investigations. It also warned such acts are the real triggers for someone picking arms.
Parallel to this, another blatant violation of human rights surfaced - the brothers of one of the Baloch who attacked Gwadar Hotel are taken away by the army in revenge. It is understood that one of them is a school teacher and the other two are but children studying in school.

Prime Minister Netanyahu’s outrageous statement confirms what was already clear: The Israeli right is determined to annex the West Bank and permanently prevent the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. haaretz.com/israel-news/el…
If carried out, even a partial annexation would be a disastrous blow to Israel’s security & democracy - and a violation of international law. Israel cannot rule permanently over millions of Palestinians while denying them equal civil and political rights.
The Trump admin has enabled & empowered Netanyahu & the settlement movement. But all responsible US elected officials & 2020 candidates must make clear that Netanyahu’s statement is unacceptable; any WB annexation would bring about a major crisis in the US-Israel relationship.

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.
