CONFIRMED BY THE EU: No time limit on backstop, no unilateral exit mechanism. We will not leave the backstop. The EU has zero incentive for us to leave the prison. This deal MUST be voted down #brexit

How your MP is expected to vote on Brexit deal

The magic number that the prime minister needs to win the crucial House of Commons vote on her Brexit deal is 318.

But Sky News data-crunching reveals she is set to fall well short.

With the vote in less than 48 hours, the prime minister has still not won over enough Remainers and Brexiteers from her own party, or the opposition ones, to secure a sure win.

Gareth Johnson resigns: Tory whip quits government ahead of Theresa May‘s Brexit deal vote

Stating the move is „possibly the hardest decision I have ever made“, he added: „I have decided the time has come to place my loyalty to my country above my loyalty to the government.“

„Rebellen“ (II)

Zur Begründung hieß es, es drohe eine humanitäre Katastrophe. Das traf auf den geplanten Angriff auf Idlib mutmaßlich ebenso zu wie auf den Krieg zur Rückeroberung von Mossul und Raqqa, an dem sich Berlin allerdings aktiv beteiligt hatte; die Bundeswehr hatte unter anderem wichtige Aufklärungsdaten beschafft. Während Berlin Druck ausübte, um die Niederwerfung der Jihadisten in Idlib zu verhindern, drohten die USA, Großbritannien und Frankreich gar mit Luftangriffen (german-foreign-policy.com berichtete [3]). Der erfolgreiche Versuch, die Region Idlib weiter der Kontrolle der Regierung in Damaskus zu entziehen, ist in der Öffentlichkeit stets damit begründet worden, man müsse dort ehrbare „Rebellen“ vor dem Zugriff der Regierungstruppen schützen.

Kripobeamter gesteht Straftaten und Spielsucht

Er schilderte, wie er später vom Streifenwagen aus einen Tatort bewachte, während seine Mittäter einen Geldautomaten knackten. Und wie er zu Hause am Computer einen Durchsuchungsbeschluss fälschte, um damit eine Wohnungsdurchsuchung zu inszenieren, bei der die Bande fast 13.000 Euro klaute. Ferner habe er den Mitangeklagten mehrfach Auskünfte aus Polizei-Informationssystemen gegeben.

Fresh blow for Theresa May as pro-Brexit Tory whip Gareth Johnson QUITS 24 hours ahead of crunch vote on deal – with more set to follow

ANOTHER member of Theresa May‘s government has quit today, 24 hours ahead of the crunch vote on her deal.

Assistant Tory whip Gareth Johnson threw in the towel this afternoon as the PM battles to win last-minute support for her hated deal.

As the vote approaches, let’s remember why May’s Withdrawal Agreement is simply unacceptable to anyone who values our union, our democracy and our future prosperity. Email your MP & ask them to vote this deal down: #StandUp4Brexit

“When people vote, they expect their vote to be acted on. If we have a second referendum before the first one has been given force, that would be anti-democratic. It would make people feel even more disillusioned with politics.” @Tom_Slater_ on #PeoplesVote

Brussels braced for request to delay Brexit by three months

Brussels expects Britain to ask for an extension to Article 50 to allow Brexit to be delayed if the House of Commons rejects Theresa May’s deal tomorrow, The Times has learnt.

Greg Hands: “The power is with us.” The two EU officials who want to punish Britain, crafted the deal – and claim they are winning.

(8.1.2018) Much attention has focused on Jean-Claude Juncker, the Luxemburger EU Commission President, and Michel Barnier, the Commission’s French chief Brexit negotiator.

But most Brussels commentators maintain that Brexit details are determined by their respective number twos: Martin Selmayr (Chief of Staff to Juncker since 2014, and – controversially – General Secretary of the European Commission since March 2018) and Sabine Weyand, deputy to Barnier.

Both happen to be German. Indeed, Die Welt, the leading German daily, early on in the negotiations did a feature titled ‘The top German players in the Brexit poker game’, with a certain pride, on their central role in the coming talks.

The ballot box is a precious thing. It is a sign that a nation permits its citizens to effect peaceful change so they aren‘t forced to riot or take up arms.

Anyone attempting to subvert it – such as by deciding not to implement certain votes – is playing a very dangerous game.

Parliament has turned against the people – MPs’ betrayal of Brexit will push the United Kingdom to the brink.

Forget the seven or eight crude-mouthed blokes outside parliament who have been shouting silly insults at Tory MP Anna Soubry, Guardian columnist Owen Jones and various Sky reporters. Those imbeciles pose precisely zero threat to freedom and democracy in the UK. It’s the people inside parliament you should be worried about. It is these well-educated, politely spoken political operators who threaten to devastate centuries of democratic tradition through their wilful agitation against the largest democratic vote in our history: the vote for Brexit.

Twelve Brexit heavyweights urge Tory MPs to defy Theresa May and vote down her hated deal

TWELVE ex-ministers have written to all Tory MPs calling on them to vote down Theresa May’s deal tomorrow in a 24-hour battle to save Brexit.

The dozen, including Boris Johnson, demand in their Plan B letter that the PM issue the EU with a final ultimatum for a better deal when hers is voted down on Tuesday – and then leave without one.

Theresa May says no Brexit more likely than no deal

Prime Minister Theresa May is making a last-ditch attempt to persuade MPs to back her Brexit deal as Tuesday‘s key Commons vote looms closer.

She will use a speech on Monday to warn that Parliament is more likely to block Brexit than let the UK leave without a deal.

Remainers unite to call for second Brexit poll – on Theresa May‘s deal or staying in EU

A cross-party group of MPs, including Dominic Grieve, the former Conservative attorney general, wants Theresa May to give Parliament a greater say in deciding how Britain leaves the European Union.

It comes after reports emerged at the weekend of a planned “coup” by unnamed senior MPs to grab control of the parliamentary timetable by allowing backbenchers’ legislation to take precedence over the Government’s.

Hydropower Has Higher Environmental Cost Than Believed: Study

What’s more, dams don’t last forever. They need to be retired and dismantled and this bears a high financial cost, too. „The cost of removing a dam once its useful life is over is extremely high, and should be taken into account when computing the total cost of a new hydro development,“ Moran notes. „If the cost of removal had to be included, many dams wouldn‘t be built. It would be far more expensive to produce a kilowatt-hour of electricity via a hydro complex with a useful life of 30 to 50 years, like those under construction in Brazil.“

Another Crucial Canadian Pipeline Runs Into Trouble

But at least five Wet’suwet’en chiefs oppose the project. “The goal has always been the same for Canada and indigenous people: it’s to remove us from our land and have access to the resources,” Jennifer Wickham, a member of one of five clans making up the Wet’suwet’en nation, told The Guardian. “That storyline has never changed.”

10 Jahre antikrieg.com

Heute vor zehn Jahren ging antikrieg.com in Betrieb. Der folgende Artikel von Gideon Levy hat mich damals so beeindruckt, dass ich mich entschloss, mit den mir zur Verfügung stehenden Möglichkeiten gegen Krieg, Ausbeutung und Unterdrückung aktiv zu werden. Das Internet bot sich als ideale Kommunikationsplattform an und – oh Wunder! – die Domain antikrieg.com war auch frei. Antiwar.com kannte ich ja schon bestens seit dem Überfall der NATO auf Jugoslawien.
