(Apart from a global outpouring of thanks and admiration)
EDIT: first like Donald Trump when he's inside you.
What does it mean? It doesn't seem to have a message or punchline.
Bragging about bagging Hamilton tickets is so 2015
And if he has the power re who addresses Parliament, then MPs need to realise that he can use that power.
So, when MPs elect a Speaker, they need to take account of how candidates are likely to operate in all aspects of the role - including this aspect.
Remarkable unity on the Tory side, the whips are doing their jobs impressively well all things considered. This was the amendment I assumed had the highest chance of passing, which means this bill is now likely to go through to Third Reading and then the Lords unamended.
Does anyone think any other proposed amendment has any chance of passing after tonight's vote?

Which means the morning thread will be written in the morning.
The good news for the Democrats:-
Oregon has gone from level- pegging to 10% Dem,
Virginia has gone from 8% Rep to 5% Dem,
Colorado has gone from 8% Rep to 5% Dem,
New Mexico has gone from level-pegging to 8% Dem,
North Carolina has gone from 13% Rep to 4% Rep,
Texas has gone 21% Rep to 9% Rep
But:-
W Virginia has gone 5% Rep to 41% Rep
Pennsylvania has gone 4% Dem to 1% Rep
Michigan has gone 5% Dem to 0.3% Rep
Iowa 1% Dem to 9% Rep
Ohio 3% Rep to 9% Rep
Missouri 2% Rep to 18% Rep
The mind boggling thing is that 50% think that raising income tax to fund the NHS sufficiently is not appropriate. Where the hell do these idiots think the money is coming from?
Woof woof

This editorial in @SPIEGEL_English is jaw-dropping. It calls for a German-led international alliance against Trump. https://t.co/rvoSDz2t4R
Hmm
Education tends to do that for people. They stop accepting, "Give us more money" as the answer to everything.
- IT being demonized and little understood
- likewise management
- political interference
- lack of money for long term strategic developments rather than locum staff
Because the nations that attacked Israel and from whom it took the land in self defence don't want the land back?
Because the occupied populace are able to elect their own leaders who refuse to agree a peace deal with Israel?
Look at international comparator and tell me why we can't spend as much as broken socialist France under Hollande
The reason that Britain scores so poorly on health indicators is far more basic than health care spending. It is the way that most of us live.
The EU is not going to survive warfare against the US as they risk the US withdrawing their troops and equipment from Europe and starting a full on trade and financial war
"Germany must stand up in opposition to the 45th president of the United States and his government. That's difficult enough already for two reasons: Because it is from the Americans that we obtained our liberal democracy in the first place; and because it is unclear how the brute and choleric man on the other side will react to diplomatic pressure."
I love "brute and choleric man" and I do hope it is how a real German thinks you say that in English, not just a machine translation. But my main reaction is that I now realise that hitherto when I have said Trump scares me, I didn't really mean it. Now I do.
students / Govt cuts /Level or lack of funding for NHS / lack of resources
I'm still trying to work out which products we'll now be able to sell tariff free into Israel that are currently subject to tariffs.

He's calling them out for an undervalued currency - which is true.
He's calling them out for underspending on european defence - which is true.
The thing is that major politicians in the UK, France and Italy are all calling them on one or the other, as well.
This message received the unlikely praise of Archbishop Trevor Huddleston, then president of the anti-apartheid movement, who wrote to Thatcher to say that her demands to Botha were “truly all I could have wished for”.

We have this collective cognitive dissonance in Britain that the NHS is both the "envy of the world" and permanently in crisis. Until we honestly and accurately appraise the NHS we will never fix it.
