We are where we are because Remainers have collaborated with the EU to prevent an acceptable deal
Let us be quite clear. The rearguard campaign to prevent a “no-deal” Brexit is merely a smokescreen for the real objective, which is to frustrate any Brexit at all and, in effect, overturn the referendum outcome.
Marionetten stärken: Bundesaußenminister im Sudan und Kongo
Der Bundesaußenminister störte sich auch nicht daran, dass die Fäden zur Ausgestaltung des Übergangsprozesses weiter von schwerbelasteten Militärs wie Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan und Mohammed Hamdan »Hemedti« Daglo gezogen werden, unter anderem verantwortlich für den Völkermord in Darfur. Verteidigung und Inneres werden selbstverständlich auch vom und mit Personal des Militärrats bestückt. Am Dienstag offiziell benannt, wird Dschamal Al-Din Omar neuer Verteidigungsminister und kann dabei auf seine Erfahrung als Chef des Militärgeheimdienstes unter Al-Baschir bauen.

Why Remoaners are so terrified of a General Election
These anti-democrats fear the judgement of the people. And they’re right to fear it.

Over 100 Colombian riot police stormed a university campus located outside Bogota during a peaceful protest, firing shots, tear gas and detaining serveral students.
Schweizer Entwicklungshilfe, Nestlé und Wasserprivatisierung
Was sich zurzeit in der Schweiz abspielt, ist nur die Spitze des Eisbergs, der sichtbare Teil eines internationalen Trends, bei dem Großkonzerne zunehmend den öffentlich-rechtlichen und demokratisch legitimierten Raum besetzen und als Weltkonzern-Oligarchie politische Entscheidungen durchsetzen. Wir müssen wachsam und gut organisiert sein, um unsere Gewässer, unsere Erde und unsere Gesellschaft vor dem Angriff auf das Gemeinwohl zu schützen.
Indigene klagen „Genozid“ in Kolumbien an
Daraufhin hatte der Regionale Indigene Rat im Cauca (CRIC) seine große Besorgnis zum Ausdruck gebracht. Bewaffnete Gruppen hätten den Indigenen im Cauca „den Krieg erklärt“. Es gab Pamphlete paramilitärischer Organisationen, die Lehrer, Erzieher und Sprecher indigener Organisationen zum militärischen Ziel erklären. In dem Gebiet konkurrieren kriminelle Strukturen um die Kontrolle illegaler Märkte und Transportwege für Kokain, Marihuana und illegal gewonnene Bodenschätze, vor allem Gold.
Corbyn’s #SurrenderBill would mean years of uncertainty and delay. I am determined to lead this country forward and take Britain out of the EU on October 31st ??

Labour MP’s 80-Minute U-Turn
As Labour MPs chickened out of voting for an election, some of their ranks were less subtle in their u-turning, from having called for an election for years.
Marr Rodda – MP for Reading East – embarrassingly called for Boris to hold a general election, only to vote against an election 80 minutes later.
Tory Brexiteers mock Corbyn‘s embarrassing election U-turn – Commons erupts in laughter
Bernard Jenkins said: “Is there some way of tabling a motion that this house has no confidence in Her Majesty’s Opposition?”
This prompted the Commons to erupt in laughter, even making Commons Speaker John Bercow smile.
Boris Johnson added: “It‘s the first time in history the Opposition has shown confidence in the Government.“

Senior Labour MPs urge Corbyn to resist PM‘s snap election call
Thornberry said she would prefer a later date than 15 October. “I personally think that we need to have a general election when we’re going to win it. I’ll wait a couple of weeks. If we can give them a little bit of extra rope … just let them be in power for a few more weeks then people can really see how bad they are,” she told Sky News.
Boris Johnson suffers his first ministerial resignation – from his brother
In some ways, Johnson’s appointment as a minister was surprising. The MP for Orpington had quit as transport minister under Theresa May over his issues with her Brexit position. At the time, Jo Johnson – who backed Remain in the EU referendum – called for the public to have a fresh say on Brexit. It follows that Jo was at odds with his brother on Brexit for some time.

Despite tonight‘s defeat, the PM will eventually get his election
The Tory party is dead; long live the Tory party. The seismic realignment that was supposed to take place in 2016 is finally upon us, and a tougher, rougher, non-deferential conservatism is making its explosive debut.
Boris Johnson ‚set to try again with new General Election bid on MONDAY‘: Government pledges to allow No Deal bill to pass through Lords by tomorrow night removing key barrier to Labour support
Downing Street sources said a new motion to call an early General Election could now be tabled on Monday, and be debated on Tuesday in the Commons after the No Deal bill becomes law.
Lord Ashton of Hyde, Conservative chief whip in the Lords, announced the breakthrough following talks with Labour after a lengthy procedural battle threatened to run through the night.
RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: It’s time this squabbling, showboating, grotesque circus got out of town for good

Brexit votes result: Bid to resurrect Theresa May‘s deal passes by default
Moments before the vote on Wednesday night, Stephen Kinnock asked MPs to vote on his amendment, which would create a vote on Mrs May‘s long-dead deal.
Then, in bizarre scenes, the Labour MP‘s amendment was approved automatically because nobody from the government volunteered to count the ‚no‘ votes.
This means that due to a technicality, the amendment is now part of the Bill and will become law if it is passed by the House of Lords.
Brexit: Bill designed to stop no-deal ‚will clear Lords‘
There were fears pro-Brexit peers could deliberately hold up the bill so it could not get royal assent before Parliament is prorogued next week.
But the Conservative chief whip in the Lords announced a breakthrough in the early hours after talks with Labour.
House of Commons vote 327 to 299 to approve the Third Reading of the European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 6) Bill, as amended at Committee stage. The Bill will now be considered by @UKHouseofLords. #EUWithdrawal6Bill

Iceland has to ease laws to allow Mike Pence’s security team to escort him on visit
Satirical newspaper Frettirnar mocked that “Americans intended to give every Reykjavik citizen a paralysing drug during Pence’s visit”.
Helicopters hovered over the government building where Mr Pence met with Icelandic eland’s officials as snipers perched on neighbouring rooftops.
Ahead of Mr Pence’s arrival, three CV-22B Osprey flew over southwestern Iceland, along with two C-130 Hercules and one Lockheed C-5 Galaxy.
