BREAKING: MPs decisively reject Theresa May‘s revised Brexit plan by 391 votes to 242
John Bercow saying ‚ORDAH‘ will probably be in my dreams tonight I‘ve heard it so much today.
MPs will now vote on the Government‘s #BrexitDeal. At around 7.15pm, the result of the #MeaningfulVote will be announced by the Tellers,
but what is the role of a Teller?
Auch wenn es gefühlt die 50. Abstimmung ist, gleich wird tatsächlich erst das zweite Mal über Mays (gestern Abend noch schnell verbesserten) #BrexitDeal abgestimmt. Die alles entscheidende Frage wird sein, wie hoch fällt die Niederlage diesmal aus. @heuteplus @heutejournal
Another Tory who quit over the deal is now backing it. That makes 22 by my count. PM has an hour to win over another 90 or so.
Uhoh. Brexiteer Simon Clarke emerges from ERG meeting saying “clear majority” resolved to vote against May’s deal tonight. Meetings still ongoing
David Davis just popped out of the ERG meeting to take phone call but had to tell his caller he was “being watched by about 100 journalists” so needed to call back.
On finding a Tory MP in the tea room (continuing an occasional series) Question: „Is the PM gonna scrape through?“ Answer: furrowed brow, shake of head and „It‘s not looking good at the moment“.
Treffen der Brexiteers um ca 1800 Uhr deutscher Zeit, um zu entscheiden, wie sie wählen. Das Argument, „mein Deal oder gar kein Brexit“, scheint zumindest einige ins Wanken gebracht zu haben. @zdfheute @ReporterZDF
Crucial meeting of the ERG group of Tory Brexiteers now underway. There was a cameraman… he’s now been turfed out.
A bit like Britain in just 17 da-I’m so tired.
Haaretz editorial denouncing Israel‘s self declaration as an Apartheid state, although it‘s too polite to use the word
In two weeks Netanyahu will be in Washington, meeting with Trump and giving the keynote speech at @AIPAC. As American Jews we must be clear: when Netanyahu claims to speak for the Jewish people, he is a liar, because he does not speak for us #NotMyJudaism
A State on the Edge of the Abyss
It’s a shame that Benny Gantz and his partners are trying to mimic Likud instead of presenting a program to pull Israeli society – its growing minorities in particular – from an educational brink

Bernie Sanders, Socialism’s Reagan?
To argue that Sanders has qualities in common with Reagan is not to argue that he’s necessarily the most electable Democrat, or that in nominating him the party wouldn’t be taking a substantial risk — as Reagan really was a risky choice in 1980, and his victory by no means foreordained.
But it is to argue that if you want a new president to be transformative — as, obviously, many people on the left desire — there are clear advantages in electing somebody whose entire career is associated with an ideological insurgency, and whose victory would shock the more adaptable sort of politician into understanding themselves as inhabitants of a new political reality, in which no matter what poll numbers show on any given issue, it’s taken for granted that the former world has passed away.
Democrats ignore Bernie Sanders at their own risk
A New York City septuagenarian with nothing more than a handful of crazy ideas and a band of hardcore followers, hoping to become president of the United States? A wild-haired populist who’s openly running against the establishment of the same political party whose nomination he’s trying to win?
A guy like that can’t possibly wi … oh, wait.

Jeremy Corbyn says Theresa May has failed to change ‚one single word‘ of the Brexit withdrawal agreement – follow live updates
At the heart of the #EU problem with #Brexit is a fundamental misunderstanding that they can stop #UK #Leave if they continue with #worstdealinhistory This misunderstanding is fed by renegade #Labour figures like #Mandelson and #Blair #WTOBrexit is #democratic
Green Party‘s @CarolineLucas tells PM „the public might have changed their minds“ on #Brexit Theresa May: „Where would it end? So you have another referendum, then everybody says let‘s have a third one?“ #BrexitVote updates:
‚I’ve always argued a left-wing case for leaving. It is, to say the least, an unfashionable position, usually met with anxious looks, sullen silence or overt hostility from one or other artist, curator or art bureaucrat,‘ says the brave @jjcharlesworth

Oh dear. #May spricht jetzt im Unterhaus und die Stimme ist weg. Sprecher Bercow hat keine Zusatzanträge gestattet. D.h. 20 Uhr deutscher Zeit sollte die Abstimmung über den Deal, wie er jetzt vorliegt, von statten gehen. @ZDFheute @ReporterZDF
Facebook Bans Zero Hedge
Over the weekend, we were surprised to learn that some readers were prevented by Facebook when attempting to share Zero Hedge articles. Subsequently it emerged that virtually every attempt to share or merely mention an article, including in private messages, would be actively blocked by the world‘s largest social network, with the explanation that „the link you tried to visit goes against our community standards.“
This is what a militarized police state looks like. Watch as #Macron thugs manhandle an 18 year old #GiletsJaunes protester to the ground for the egregious crime of playing his drum. Oh, and just for good measure – they chuck the drum like it‘s a piece of trash. #Caen #ActeXVII

The odd thing is that the customs union is not only unacceptable to EFTA countries; it is unpopular with almost all EU countries. Why are we even thinking about it?
