Jetzt ist SIP an der Reihe
Es soll niemand glauben, dass die Interamerikanische Pressegesellschaft (SIP) ein Synomym für Journalismus ist und noch viel weniger, dass sie die Presse vertritt. Sie hat vielmehr den Auftrag, die Interessen der Eigentümer der großen Medienmonopole zu verteidigen
IT-Sicherheitsgesetz 2.0: Wir veröffentlichen den Entwurf, der das BSI zur Hackerbehörde machen soll
Das ist ein Interessenkonflikt, denn Polizei und Geheimdienste wollen Sicherheitslücken ausnutzen, beispielsweise für Staatstrojaner. Die Bonner Behörde hat bereits staatliche Schadsoftware mitprogrammiert, aber öffentlich eine Beteiligung abgestritten.
Der neue Entwurf verbietet dem BSI nicht, Sicherheitslücken geheim zu halten und an Hacker-Behörden wie das BKA oder den BND zu geben. In Zukunft soll die Behörde eine Rolle beim „Hack Back“ spielen.

3. EUROPEAN UNION (WITHDRAWAL) (NO. 5) BILL: SECOND READING (COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE HOUSE AND THIRD READING MAY ALSO BE TAKEN)
Until 10.00pm (if the Business of the House Motion is agreed to)
Chris White: The Letwin-Cooper Bill would have constitutional consequences far beyond Brexit
On rare occasions, in times of great urgency, the Commons has concertinaed legislation in a single day. The Official Secrets Act was passed in just a few minutes in 1911 – apparently the Minister explained “in two sentences…that the measure should be passed”, whilst Committee, Report and Third Reading sailed by without a single intervention. Clearly this is a different situation, but the precedent exists for all stages to be debated in a day – certainly other Bills have been debated in a very short space of time.
The Cooper-Letwin bill to stop no-deal Brexit is a dangerous distraction
The bill was published on Tuesday and the idea is that today the Commons will carve out parliamentary time for it to pass through the house and even – if all goes to plan – start its progress though the Commons. Let’s assume, ambitiously, it can clear the House of Commons on Thursday and the House of Lords on Friday and receive royal assent the same day.
MPs are debating a business of the House motion relating to @YvetteCooperMP‘s European Union (Withdrawal) (No5) Bill. If the business motion is passed, all Commons stages of the Bill will take place today. #EUWithdrawal5Bill Watch:
Jeremy Corbyn says crunch Brexit talks with Theresa May went ‚very well‘
After the talks, which lasted just over two hours, Jeremy Corbyn told the Mirror that they had gone „very well“ and that he expected to sit down again with the PM soon.
Talks between Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn were took place in the Prime Minister‘s office in the Commons.
Ian Blackford: „In all eventualities, there must be a people‘s vote“ SNP, Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru, Greens and the Independent Group issue joint statement saying they will push for a public vote to be included in #Brexit legislation
Tory MPs suggesting indicative vote at 5pm at the 1922 committee on the PM’s leadership. (They can’t hold a formal process because December’s vote gives May a one year grace period). Asked one rhetorically: “A lot of anger this afternoon.” “No,” he replied. “It’s fury.”
Liam Fox will address the 1922 committee of backbench Tory MPs at 5pm. Reports are emerging that MPs are suggesting holding their own ‚indicative vote‘ on the Theresa May‘s leadership
Tory MPs launch bid to kick Theresa May out TODAY after soft Brexit bid
Sources said the MPs believe desperate action is needed before Downing Street thrashes out a soft Brexit compromise with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. One said: “They’re saying this is about the survival of the party itself.”
The ballot wouldn‘t be officially binding – but if Mrs May lost it could speed up her departure from No10.
#pmqs felt slightly surreal today, Corbyn & May going after each other almost felt like a symbolic highlighting of their differences to their own benches, with the most blarbed attacks being directed at both of them by the Conservative back benches.
LIVE Prime Minister‘s Questions: 3 April 2019

LIVE: Second minister quits as Theresa May meets Jeremy Corbyn for Brexit talks
The latest as the PM faces a Tory backlash after calling for national unity and offering talks with Labour to agree a Brexit plan.
After much contemplation, I have decided to leave Theresa May‘s Government. I‘m grateful to the PM for giving me the opportunity to serve the UK and I will continue to represent my constituents as the MP for Daventry.
No Deal is now the most popular option in the country.
…although Britons are less convinced of a national government‘s chances of success. 34% think it would probably help resolve Brexit, but 41% think it probably wouldn‘t
What do the public think might break the Brexit deadlock?
Should the EU decide they’ve had enough of the Brexit process and refuse to give the UK an extension, then the country divides between the 44% who would want to leave without a deal and the 42% who would seek to stay in the Union.
It’s Time To Reckon With Clinton Democrats Who Pushed Russiagate
Like the vast majority of the country, the Democratic Party establishment was in complete and utter shock when Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election. Almost all of the most influential media pundits were convinced there was no way Hillary Clinton would lose.
Following yesterday’s cabinet, this morning I’ve been to Downing Street & resigned my position as UK Govt Minister for Wales & Govt Whip. I’m grateful to the PM for the opportunity to serve as a Minister since 2017 & will continue to serve my constituents from the backbenches.
Our unrepresentative democracy
The Brexit pile-up in parliament really is unlike anything we’ve witnessed in modern times. The government and MPs are refusing to implement the biggest democratic mandate in British political history, the clearest and most weighty demand ever issued to them by the public. And yet they are still straining to agree how best to bury it for good.
Brexit minister Robin Walker tells @skysarahjane on #Sunrise that @Theresa_May will begin Brexit talks with @jeremycorbyn today. He says working with the opposition is „not comfortable“ but it‘s right for the „national interest“. Brexit updates here:

May prepared to rip apart Tory family and put Brexit in Labour‘s hands
„It‘s really kicking off,“ one Brexiteer told me in the aftermath of Mrs May‘s statement.
„This cannot be allowed, that cabinet has to move against May. The 1922 [backbench committee] chairman [Sir Graham Brady] has to go and tell her she has to go.“
The Brexiteers can‘t stage of a vote of confidence – she secured a year‘s grace after winning the confidence vote last December, but they can try to destabilise her government.
Jeremy Corbyn is „somebody we can do business with“ says Tory MP Sir Oliver Letwin #r4today
Mutiny! Tory MPs urge cabinet to oust May over Corbyn Brexit talks
She is likely to face an onslaught from Conservative Brexiteers at Prime Ministers Questions this afternoon after her controversial proposal to negotiate with the Labour leader.
Ominously for the PM, Boris Johnson has joined the Brexiteer backlash, which has seen some Tory MPs urge cabinet ministers to stage a mutiny and move to oust her immediately.
All eyes on the ‚Furious Fourteen‘: May faces cabinet resignations as she shuns ‚clear majority‘ of ministers who backed No Deal and sets up Soft Brexit surrender talks with Jeremy Corbyn instead
– Theresa May made a dramatic shift as she promised new Brexit talks with Jeremy Corbyn to ‚break the logjam‘
– She said the Government wanted to strike a new deal on the final UK-EU deal both parties could live with
– If talks with Mr Corbyn fail then May promised to hand the decision to Parliament to find a way forward
– Warned there is no hope of changing the divorce treaty – a hint she is abandoning hard Brexiteers and the DUP
– Brexit Tories led by Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg exploded with rage at May‘s apparent concessions
– May said she wants to persuade the EU to agree to the new timetable next week and leave the EU on May 22
– Brussels has been clear any delay longer than May 22 would require Britain to hold EU elections next month
– May‘s announcement came after a marathon seven-hour Cabinet meeting with ministers locked inside No 10
Prime Minister risks splitting her party to avoid no-deal Brexit in 10 days
„There was a very significant shift to a softer Brexit,“ said a senior minister.
„There is no turning back“.
And there you have captured the magnitude of the risk the PM is taking.
Theresa May ignores Cabinet support for no-deal Brexit as she turns to Jeremy Corbyn for help
Theresa May ignored the will of her Cabinet by ruling out a no deal Brexit and choosing to extend Article 50 as she asked Jeremy Corbyn to help her find a compromise.
How seven hours of rows and recrimination at Cabinet produced a surprising shift towards a soft Brexit
It was billed as the ultimate Brexit showdown and in the end the seven-hour marathon cabinet meeting ended in rows and recriminations after a cabinet majority for no deal was ignored in favour of a customs union consensus with Jeremy Corbyn.
The fact that the epic political pow wow started with a brief delay should have acted as an omen.
Revealed: the Cabinet bust-up over May’s soft Brexit plan
(2.4.2019) When Theresa May stood in 10 Downing Street earlier this evening and announced that she would try and break the Brexit logjam by liaising with Jeremy Corbyn, she gave the impression of speaking with Cabinet backing. However, the full story is now emerging. In a stormy seven-hour meeting, minister after minister protested at her proposal to use Labour votes for a softer Brexit ( potentially a customs union) in order to pass a deal. As many as 14 ministers said they’d rather keep no deal on the table. It seems that only about ten supported her final plan.

With Trump, NATO Chief Tries to Navigate Spending Minefields
He flew across the ocean to celebrate NATO’s 70th anniversary with the largest and most important member of the military alliance. So to outsiders it appeared to be an awkward moment on Tuesday for Jens Stoltenberg, the NATO secretary general, as he sat stiffly by while President Trump criticized German defense spending and predicted that the United States would get along with Russia.
