Fish was never a deal breaker. Level playing field was

But LPF now more likely to come together after @EU_Commission move (on trade test for unlocking remedial measures & scope of arbitration over remedial measures)
If it does, expect deal on \U0001f420\U0001f421 too
It is the same "I move in principle you move in detail" shift we saw with the Northern Ireland protocol last year, when no PM could accept a border between GB and NI suddenly did, just as recently no PM would accept tariffs for divergence and seems to have done.
So, are we at deal yet? No, and it remains far from certain, but better than the gloom of Saturday. I still think the PM wants his ideal where everyone is happy, still hopes if only he can speak to Macron and Merkel he could get it, still to decide.
Second, I still maintain that Johnson has not made a decision here. Some days he leans towards Deal, sometimes towards No Deal

He has been stuck for weeks, and still is. He\u2019d ideally just not decide *anything*
And even if there is a deal it is now too late for either business to adjust to it, or the EU to ratify it according to normal procedure. In both cases you'd think we'd need an extension, but there is a big shrug on this whole question. Nobody knows.
And so, yet again on Brexit, we wait. In particular, those who actually do the trade, the businesses we rely on, are forced to wait for a formal outcome while preparing as best they can. Let's see what happens.
My latest (as ever, I don't write headlines).

It's important people try to explain what sovereignty is and why we are where we are. If you like elephants, read my explanation.https://t.co/mhh7Sjk6Er
Very large numbers of international treaties require the UK to make, or not make, law. The UN Treaty requires us to impose sanctions. The Antarctic Treaty requires us to prohibit unlicensed operators organising tours to Antarctica. GATT restricts our ability to set tariffs.
appears to think that such provisions do not infringe his definition of “sovereignty”, but he fails to explain why not.
He asserts, without explaining why, that a level playing field term would infringe “sovereignty”. But the LPF terms being discussed simply set out actions that the EU is able to take if the UK legislates (or does not legislate) in certain ways.
Why is that different in legal principle from WTO rules that (for example) allow other states to impose high tariffs on our widget industry if we exercise our sovereign freedom to pass laws that exempt widget-making from UK tax?

I say this on my tours, we 'know' very little. In fact, we know nothing. I don't know is honest!! It's humble, and its real.
In Egypt there's too much to know, so 'we don't know' is the truest statement there is. https://t.co/IajqsQGdJ8
Another reminder to relax and trust the journey. Become comfortable saying "I don't know."

But diaspora and urban Indigenous inevitably means emerging identity with combined medicine.
I was speaking to pan-Indigeneity. Authentic voices are important.

Corn provides a striking model for this. It is so central to some civilizations that it features in their creation stories. It is food and it is also medicine. And there are songs and ceremonies related to it that are different in different civilizations.
Who owns it?
Corn, maize, didn't always exist. We know that. It developed over centuries of hybridization and selecting for traits. It was such a complex process that for a while scientists didn't even think it was related to teosinte, but other scientists proved that it is.
It started in Mexico, went down to Peru where it developed more, came back to Mexico where it transformed that society and then travelled across the continent to the Hauds.
It is food and medicine and ceremony.
Who owns it?
We are corn.
We do not exist as we did thousands of years ago. We also have developed over centuries of hybridization and selecting for traits. We continue to develop and right now a new people is emerging. The Anishnaabe aren't the only ones with this prophecy btw.
-Continuing Resolution (CR) is a mechanism to address a budgetary “gap”
Under @senatemajldr (not) awesome leadership CRs have become the norm, which is maddening because that’s NOT what CRs are meant for
-pocket veto
-veto
-President versus Congress

did you think I was randomly screaming (sometimes I do) but this thread, I walked you through some of the programs which would run out of Funding

Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution
-any Bill shall not be returned by the President within 10 Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment
Sorry here’s the link - Article 1, Section 7 of our Constitution (sometimes referred to as the presentment clause)
One could infer “pocket veto” +/- 2 days Jan 4th, 5th, or 6th...

My educated guess is Trump knows
“might” (operative word) be his “trust the plan” screwing McConnell Senate GOP & nearly ALL Americans
-though lacking a signature and formal objections
-does not become law
-Pocket vetoes are not subject to the congressional veto override process
And here‘s WHY - it is literally the last sentence:
“...unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law”
the massive bill was flown down to FL yesterday so the 10 day clock started yesterday...
