There's uncertainty whether this date is a political or legal deadline, if it's not the latter, then May could stall it again to get closer to the March exit date, which is a legal deadline, thus giving her leverage to force through her deal at the last minute under the threat of no deal...https://twitter.com/IanDunt/status/1073169547753127937

Are you trying to find out the cost of a single/return trip to and from these stations?...

Waiting for Predict Addict to update the Everton score/points...

So much for recent platitudes about reaching out to Remainers. I'm not sure it makes much difference whether she stays or goes, the bottom line is there's a WA that isn't going to pass thru Parly or be renegotiated on. One way or the other, the road she has been consistently kicking the can down, will run out...

Good to see the Maybot maxing-out her Freedom of Movement rights before she removes them...

Not according to legal whiz DAG... By confirming that (1) unilateral revocation continues with any extension, (2) right ends when WA concluded, and (3) if revoked UK membership of EU continues as before... ....this could not be a more helpful judgment for Remainers.

There will be three Government oral statements in the @HouseofCommons today: 1 - Theresa May: Exiting the EU 2 - Andrea Leadsom: Business Statement 3 - Stephen Barclay: EU Exit - Article 50 No. 3 could be the biggie, despite the ECJ today ruling that A50 can be unilaterally revoked, Gov more likely to ask to extend A50 to avoid crashing out with no deal. If it's for that, then based on past statements, EU unlikely to allow extension unless there is a very good reason, i.e. a GE or another referendum, not for more negotiating time...

EDF finally goes clickbait...

The perfect pop song...

Help! I'm running out of popcorn!! :) Gov to publish legal advice after being found in contempt of Parliament. Grieve amendment passed, it's similar to what he wanted earlier in the year, but backed down when May said it would affect her negotiations. Reported that Damian Green and Michael Fallon voted for it....et tu Brute! I do like it when Parliament takes back control... *Munch, munch, munch...*

Yep, DAG always states what has to happen legally as things currently stand, obviously things can change e.g. EU approves an extension of time to A50 for passing of such an Act. On John's subject of amendments, looks like Dominic Grieve has out-trumped them all with his...

Quote of the day... There really is not enough popcorn in the world for the shit that is going to go down in parliament today.

You'll drive yourself nuts John going through all the potential outcomes if May's deal is voted down. Assuming it does get voted down, if the numbers are as big as has been estimated by some, then she may simply quit there and then, and we'll be in an even bigger constitutional crisis than we are now. "Events, my dear boy, events"...

The Gov with their constant attempts (11 times if I'm not mistaken) to have this A50 revocation case not heard, shows how they didn't want it to be known that A50 could be stopped. Thus it suited them to act as they did during the Miller case. For all their protestations of 'taking back control' and 'sovereignty', May's Gov (the Executive) has continually tried to ride roughshod over Parliament and it's procedures, e.g, the Miller case, the meaningful vote, and even as recent as yesterday with the legal advice debate. I don't think I'm using hyperbole when I say that this Gov has shown fascistic leanings in how it has conducted itself and the contempt it has for Parliamentary procedure since the Referendum...

Once again David Allen Green is the go to person in such matters, check out his Twitter and how he has to correct so called journalists who have wrongly commented on the AG's opinion piece. It's staggering that one BBC journalist said it was a ruling that the UK can unilaterally extend A50...not even close. DAG also highlights that there are conditions attached with the AG's opinion, e.g. if it is approved by the EUCJ, the UK Parliament will still need to pass an Act to implement the unilateral withdrawal, and also it has to be done in ''good faith and sincere cooperation'', meaning that the UK can't simply stop the clock in order to carry on re-negotiating, otherwise the 2 year cycle could start all over again...and again... and again. The UK must want to cancel Brexit period...

Careful what you wish for grandad...:)

Buried among the madness there are still little gems like this...:) Fittingly the interview, carried out in Argentina where the PM is at a meeting of the G20, is accompanied by the chattering of wild animals ...
