A reminder that the govt refused to allow a vote or debate in parliament before ratifying the Australia deal. It ended the nominal "scrutiny period" before the select committee could release its report.

Always the same pattern: shut down scrutiny, declare victory, unleash chaos. https://twitter.com/lewis_goodall/status/1592208294684557312

“Fmr Environment Sec George Eustice has spoken about the post-Brexit UK/Australia trade deal in the Commons. He says now no longer a minister: "I no longer have to put such a positive gloss on what was agreed...the Australia deal is not actually a very good trade deal for the UK."”

‘Lady Chatterley’s Brexit’

SUPERB from ⁦@[email protected]⁩

“What makes the Brexit taboo all the more extraordinary is that this was supposed to be the great project of national liberation; the unleashing of a new age of freedom and prosperity.”

‘Lady Chatterley’s Brexit’

Not accepting or being able to discuss the damage caused by Britain's exit from the EU leaves the country in a unsustainable position, writes Chris Grey

Poland is not going to trigger Article 5 over these kinds of incidents if confirmed. Either way though Warsaw will shift even more equipment that enables Ukraine to retaliate

This is the closest we have come now to all out world war. We must remain calm and with clear heads. ALL of us. Two missiles have flown over #Ukraine #Polish border. Hitting Polish (NATO) territory and so far two possible civilian casualties. This below is Article 5 of NATO:

Worth rereading Article 5, everybody. It doesn't oblige or commit to military action in e.g. the event of a stray missile landing in Poland.

But this is very serious, no doubt.

Collective defence and Article 5

The principle of collective defence is at the very heart of NATO’s founding treaty. It remains a unique and enduring principle that binds its members together, committing them to protect each other and setting a spirit of solidarity within the Alliance.

But it's not muh nukez so it's an OK thing to do

Ukraine will get through this, as it has through Soviet and Nazi genocides, but history will judge those who let the killing happen just as harshly as the murderers themselves https://twitter.com/RomeoKokriatski/status/1592523116986925057

What the article said was that there was "overwhelming evidence" that Raab "bullied and sexually discriminated against" a young woman who had worked her way up from humble beginnings, so she became traumatised, felt worthless and left a job which she had otherwise enjoyed.
