Project Fear II - The Bank of England Speaks

Hammond Gives May's Deal a "Ringing" Endorsement

To be fair, May thinks Hammond's forecasts are bollocks!

Project Fear II - May's Deal Is The least Worst Option (Allegedly)


Trying to sell something as being the least worst option (other than staying in the EU) really is not the greatest marketing strategy, neither is borrowing from Project Fear's failed playbook.

People are capable of achieving great things, and enduring all sorts of hardships if they see a bright future and if the person leading them inspires them with hope, confidence and courage.

Methinks May will lose big time.

May's "Secret" Plan To Solve The Irish Question

A not very "secret" plan given that it's been published in the Sun, and if the plan is so good/viable why does she want it kept "secret"?

What Happens Next

Operation Bullshit


As Brady noted the other day, just because an MP says that he/she has submitted (or will submit) a letter doesn't necessarily mean that they have/will.

How come?

MPs are liars!

Draft Brexit Agreement On The Table

The Brexit Grid

I see that the Tories have taken a leaf out of Blair's Labour government, and have adopted the concept of "the grid"!

Brexit Communications Grid Summary

Cabinet reviews the deal this Tuesday, the 6th November. They expect all the details to then leak.
"A moment of decisive progress" will be announced this Thursday. Raab to announce.

The narrative is going to be measured success, that this is good for everyone, but won't be all champagne corks popping.

Then there's recess until 12th.

After the announcement of decisive progress there follows the 10 days of Sherpa meetings with EU 27 and then daily themed announcements.

19th November - "We have delivered on the referendum" PM speaks at the CBI conference.
Saying this deal brings the country back together, now is the time for us all to unite behind it for the good of all our futures etc. She will also hold a business reception.

This is the day both the Withdrawal Agreement and Future Framework will be put to Parliament by way of a statement from Raab who will also do media. Junior ministers are doing regional media all day. Government lining up 25 top business voices including Carolyn Fairburn and lots of world leaders eg Japanese PM to tweet support for the deal.

20th - Theme is Delivering for the Whole of the UK - PM to visit the north and or Scotland and the Commons will debate in business motions the date of the Meaningful Vote.

PM will be back in the house to vote. The Cabinet Office publishes its explainer of the deal and what it means for the public, comparing it to No Deal, but not to our current deal.

Other business leaders to come out and back it eg Adam Marshall from Chambers of Commerce and supportive voices in devolved regions like Andy Street and Andy Burnham. Also hoping to get 3rd Sector voices out supporting it.

Hoping for Stephen Martin, Martin McTeague etc

22nd - Theme is immigration - take back control of our borders. Home Sec doing media and visits. Raab on QT in the West mids.

Hope Mike Hawes of SMMT will speak out in favour along with influential voices from the rest of the world saying how great this is for the flow of global talent.

23rd - Theme is money - NHS funding and structural funds. Matt Hancock hospital visit. David Everett to welcome the deal alongside Tech for UK.

24th Theme is Northern Ireland and The Union - no hard border in the UK and the integrity of the Union is protected. PM visits border communities and business in NI and maybe also to Wales to visit agri and export businesses. Karen Bradley doing media.

Trying to get Varadker to support and Anand Menon and Henry Newman too.

25th - Theme is global Britain. We can strike trade deals with RoW (rest of world) security in this one too.

Speech from Liam Fox. Jeremy Hunt on Marr. Hope Miles Celic to come out in support (City UK).
Lining up lots of former foreign secs to come out in support and Mark Littlewood of the IEA.

26th - theme is taking back control of our laws, Raab doing media. PM interview with Dimbleby.

27th - morning theme is agri and fisheries. Gove doing a visit and media.

Evening is the vote. HISTORIC MOMENT, PUT YOUR OWN INTERESTS ASIDE, PUT THE COUNTRY'S INTERESTS FIRST AND BACK THIS DEAL.

Free Movement To Continue Under No Deal

It is fair to say the the Home Office doesn't know what the fuck it is doing!

It is also fair to remind you all the the Home Office was once the fiefdom of the PM!
