#Mueller’s key problem: “Collusion” was laundered thru other intermediary orgs that were solidly in Trumputin’s camp+ had field campaign/media capabilities of their own— like the #NRA. motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
#Mueller #NextSteps That weird stacked @BBC panel yesterday got me thinking. #UK elites may be preparing for 1.#HardBrexit 2. #ShittyofLondon needing all the #MoscowMoney it can get; 3.#Trumputin surviving Mueller; 4. RU interventions in the upcoming US+(espec) #EU Parl elections
This means that pro-dem forces (including “many” Ds, Rs, Greens, Labor, SPDs, DSs, etc) in the US,UK/EU need to prepare for #MuellerFail, not by being fired, but by closing down the #collusioncharge, ala #BCCI. Prob not b4 11/18, since that wld be #ComeyII.

"A new report from the House of Commons Environment, Food & Rural Affairs Committee indicates that food prices, trade & jobs, and food flows across borders -especially in Ireland- look set to be altered and, at worst disrupted, with potentially important implications for health"
Until '54 food was rationed and, during WW2 UK faced serious risk of 2/3 of its food supply being cut off. Today it still imports heavily, mostly from EU. Growth of foodbanks in the UK is a reminder of how precarious the situation is now for some of the most vulnerable in society

#ABTVtoStopBrexit isn't about affecting the balance of power or forcing a General Election. #ABTV is about sending a message to the Tories, and *especially* to Labour that people don't support *any* #Brexit. Not a #HardBrexit, #SoftBrexit, #NoDealBrexit, #Lexit, or *any* Brexit.
The Tory's control more than half of councils, nearly double Labour. Losing control of even half of them is unrealistic, and even if it happened under fixed term government I can all but guarantee it won't result in a General Election.
A Prime Minister calls a GE under two circumstances:
1) They are miles ahead in the polls and think they can increase their majority (as in 2017)

1/ I am, and always will be a remainer, a passionate Eurofile who believes we should never have left the EU. However, over the past nine months I have concluded that our best way forward is to leave, and to join EFTA and stay in the EEA.
2/ This is correctly known as the EFTA/EEA option, or sometimes more loosely as the Norway Model.
3/ More information about EFTA/EEA is available from @LeaveHQ, @EFTA4UK, @Petenorth303 and at eureferendum.com.
