All eyes on the Commons, Gove on his feet in a couple of minutes with a big Brexit update...
Barnier gaslighting here - understand EU are refusing to properly intensify or discuss legal texts.
Gove tells the commons that "as things stand" an FTA "will not now happen".
GOVE:

- EU was only willing to conduct negotiations on fewer than half the days available.

- EU refused to discuss legal texts in any area.

Direct rebuke to Barnier's weasel words.

This pandemic is exposing the fundamental problem with our current devolution settlement. No one can answer the fundamental question of Who Governs with any consistent hierarchy. It's a mess.
Council leaders and metro mayors have a pulsating bully pulpit, engorged on and off by a government implying it has to cut deals to exercise the power it already has.
Meanwhile the lower leaders of devolved nations are acting as rivals to the national executive- unwitting beneficiaries of unprecedented power accidentally falling their way in a hurried muddle.

So keen to flex their newfound power, they strive for difference for the sake of it.

Hi @Otto_English I see you’re quite tweeting me a fair bit.

Hope you won’t mind if I have some questions for you.
You seem to think there are implications of sharing a platform with people, and how that (in your view) gives them legitimacy:

So why were you sharing a platform with ‘sex pest’ Hardeep Singh Kohli, who was sacked by the BBC for bad behaviour, a few weeks ago?

Well this is terrifying.
hilarious how people who are all 'yaas Jacinda' are the same ones who were wetting themselves over treasury predictions that GDP growth would be lower if the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

make up your minds.
it's almost as if most opposition to Brexit isn't borne of sober analysis of the facts but feel-good crowd-following us-vs-them Oblonskyism.

Jeremy Corbyn's record on climate change is actually filthy.
He bloody loves coal. So much so that he called for it to continue to be used, as did a group of his MPs just last year.

He hates nuclear power. His Shadow Chancellor would end nuclear power within ‘the first 100 days of a Labour government'...

This morning every MP has received one of these weird butterfly tags, accompanied by a newspaper cutting of a word seemingly specific to them. Not creepy at all.
also accompanying the butterflies are weird Lexit paragraphs, conspiratorially attacking "financial companies", "moslem countries", and Israel.
Randomly name-checked figures include Vince Cable and the BBC's Norman Smith.

If you think the mild reduction in the pace of growth of spending in the UK was austerity, can't wait to see how you'd describe Greek budget measures...
Just for some context, this graph shows the 'austerity' the UK went through.
(Forecast data is slightly out of date - expenditure is actually 818bn this year, 30bn more than is shown on the graph)
... and here is the austerity that Greece went through.
