Finchley & Golders Green for Europe. Grassroots, cross-party and no-party. Time to demand a People's Vote on Brexit! Retweet ≠ Endorsement. #FGG4EU#FBPE#WATON
Voting against the EHRC rule changes this afternoon is really shameful.
We all have a responsibility to stand against antisemitism, islamophobia and all forms of racism. We must vote to ensure that we introduce the rule changes we’re legally obligated to enact.
⛴️ Chaos at the ports
🦠 #COVID19 cases at record highs
🇪🇺 Still no Brexit deal in sight
This is a legitimate national crisis and we need some breathing room. Time for the PM to ask for a Brexit transition extension.

Johnson’s pro Brexit ex Attorney General Geoffrey Cox: “It is unconscionable that this country, justly famous for its regard for the rule of law around the world, should act in such a way”. He’ll vote against the Internal Market Bill. Will Mike Freer do the same? My email to him.

If anyone thinks supporting the #BorisDeal means the threat of a #NoDealBrexit is removed, they are wrong.
If an FTA with EU cannot be agreed & Govt doesn't propose extension, Parliament would have no say & the UK would crash out at the end of next year without a deal

Para 324 is key. Negotiations on future relationship must be consistent with the political declaration. But the PD has been heavily watered down from May's version. So this is the "look, we're heading for a pretty hard Brexit" paragraph it seems to me.
Here’s one. WAB contains 19 new “Henry VIII” powers for the govt (powergrabs basically where primary legislation can be amended by statutory instrument, giving great power to the executive) including this one detailed in Clause 21 on Northern Ireland.
Jacob Rees Mogg confirms that he wants both the Second Reading AND Committee stage of the Withdrawal Agreement Bill to be held tomorrow and all stages complete by Thursday.
For a bill of such constitutional complexity and importance, that is an extraordinary timetable.
This is the so-called protection for workers’ rights - government must make a statement on whether or not a future Bill erodes workers’ rights. But even if it does, they can still proceed. No wonder @The_TUC is advising Labour MPs not to fall for it.
I spend more time deciding on the specs of a new laptop than the government has given MPs to scrutinise Boris's abominable "Brexit Deal".
Watching this farce play out in parliament makes me even more convinced than ever that a #peoplesvote is the only way to break the deadlock.
