The first pre-qualifying ramble of 2019 is up: http://enormo-haddock.blogspot.com/2019/03/australia-pre-qualifying-2019.html
Where’s Thanos when you need him?

Last year in Melbourne, it looks really close between Mercedes and Ferrari, until in Q3 Hamilton banged one in more half a second faster than anyone else.
On the top teams, I agree. Looks like the two-tier division continues.
Losing their seat in the likely GE (with no consolation peerage either) might concentrate a few minds....."You aren't getting Brexit because this ERGer voted against it as often as Jeremy Corbyn"
Mr. Foremain, doesn't Japan have free trade with no free movement, no budget contributions and no supremacy of EU law?
In any event, Mercedes have topped the times in the previous nine practice sessions in Oz, and their margin is significantly less this year.
Qualifying will give a better idea of whether it's going to be another Merc year.

TBH - I think my respect for this guy has been clear on here - but on this he is utterly wrong and the majority of responses told him so.
Some people even used that utterly discredited phrase "leave means leave"
Glad May has rightly called it a terrorist attack this morning
That said, I do think the scale of the Russian propaganda operation is somewhat exaggerated, we’re talking about hundreds of people involved in it, rather than hundreds of thousands.
As far as I'm aware, and I stand to be corrected, it doesn't include free movement, supremacy of EU law, or budget contributions, which is the position you were implying was impossible for the UK to reasonably desire or actually achieve.

(Doesn't diminish the audience reaction...)
Edit: damn, @El_Capitano beat me to it!
We aren't still expecting blow jobs. The reason we are getting divorced is that the wife wouldn't GIVE us a blow job. She reserved them for the blonde Nordic types. Oh, and a little holiday fling with some swarthy Mediterranean guy. She expected us to be monogmous, but then shagged her way round Europe.
Section 20(4):
A Minister of the Crown may by regulations—
(a)amend the definition of “exit day” in subsection (1) to ensure that the day and time specified in the definition are the day and time that the Treaties are to cease to apply to the United Kingdom, and
(b)amend subsection (2) in consequence of any such amendment.
Those more versed in parliamentary procedure can advise whether there'd have to be any votes to authorise such a regulation but it wouldn't need an emergency Act.
For the last few years I’ve assumed that everyone in the audience on QT was a party member or activist, more interested in a partisan soundbite than advancing the debate.
RCS will explain how widget regulations have various alignments globally.

Our family has great affection for New Zealand and especially Christchurch where our eldest son emigrated to 15 years ago and we have visited several times. Though our eldest son now lives in Vancouver he retains ties with friends and ex work colleagues there.
This attack is evil in it's purest form and we need as a Country, especially in light of Brexit, to make a concerted effort to bring all our communities together in total condemnation of all intolerance
I posted this on my facebook page this morning and know PB forum will join in our condolences and sympathy to all Kiwis
To all Kiwis
We have woken up to the horrific attacks in Christchurch and just cannot believe it. Tears are shed for that beautiful City, it's people and the whole Country. Such hatred is beyond belief and we must alll stand against the bigotted and twisted minds of those who think like this. May the Good Lord comfort all those affected and our prayers are for all Kiwis everywhere.
1) TMay seems to have accepted an extension if her deal is passed to pass other legislation and tidy stuff up and it's almost impossible to imagine a short post-deal extension being vetoed, unless the timing makes it impossible, eg parliament passes the deal with 5 minutes to spare
2) I don't think is right - can't it be extended by statutory instrument or something?
3) is the issue - not so much Farage lobbying populists, which could probably be worked around with a fake revoke, but the UK just not having a plan beyond delay, and some governments being unwilling to delay without a plan. This is hard to call but I doubt it's more than a 5% chance.

is as good as it gets.
I think you will also find that EU law only has supremacy in certain delegated areas as part of international treaties, in the same way that we adhere to treaty laws in respect to our obligations to NATO. The Japanese will de facto have to agree to EU law in order to sell their goods here as they do already (CE mark etc.).
Cutting ourselves off from a free trade deal with Japan is another example of the self-harm effect of Brexit. Still I am told that the disgraced former GP has got us a trade deal with Papua New Guinea. So as the lady who was most responsible for the single market would not have said "let's rejoice at that news FFS"

So the only way we leave on 29th March is a crash. So the EU turn down both the short and long term extension plans, and a last ditch vote to revoke A50 fails. Seems remote to me, if Spain say they want us to give them Gibraltar for an extension, looks to me like the other EU countries will talk them out of it.

I'm a swing eligible voter on the Lib Dem leadership. I never thought that Tim Farron should have stood down, whatever issues around his faith his campaigning skills were sorely needed and haven't come close to being matched under Cable. In a fair world where intellect, experience, judgement and wisdom were valued more highly, and shouting loudly valued lower, Vince should have ben a colossus. This world is anything but fair.
I'm concerned over a couple of things Layla Moran has chosen to campaign on in the last few months; I've some judgement queries. On Jo Swinson I want to know that she's a wider vision than gender-neutral bathrooms uniforms and gender pay gaps. On Ed Davey I've concerns how he'll get noticed and how nimble he can be in praising / criticising the coalition where needed. And I would never vote for a non-MP to be leader, whatever the outcome of the proposed changes coming to Spring Conference. My vote is up for grabs.
Putin's top priority is now encouraging immigration from other Russophone countries as the depopulation crisis is only getting worse. Immigration control, or rather the rapid relaxing thereof, has now been brought under the direct control of the President's office.
Navalny may be brought in from the cold and groomed as a Putin successor. This would be staggering if true but nothing would surprise me about Russia. Despite their differences, to put it mildly, he is the sort of strident nationalist of which Putin approves.

Basically all of them. How the heck do you get people like that onside?
That's why I'm relaxed about as many meaningful votes as she likes.
It seems to get forgotten nowadays, for whatever reason.
So probably most of the summer if it works out like that.
I hope Lamb's health is on the mend.
29th March would still be long odds against as impossible to do the paperwork on time

PS I note you did not include the "ALLEGED" to cover the fact that it is all a fantasy of the cretins imagination , actually believing anybody would know him or give a toss. They should stick to their usual shenanigans in the strangers bar after liberal use of public money.
Labour took a city council seat from an independent in the latest local by-elections.
The party’s gain came in a contest in the Coxford ward of Southampton City Council caused by the resignation of an independent councillor.
Voting was: Lab 668, C 529, Lib Dem 450, Socialist Alternative 368, Integrity Southampton 178, Ind 174, Ukip 123, Green 53. The turnout was 25%.
Elsewhere, Labour comfortably held two seats: one at Croydon (Norbury & Pollards Hill ward) and one at Durham (Wingate division).
“My staff and I know what it’s like to be intimidated by those who don’t like your politics and this sort of stuff is never ever acceptable.
“Please pass on our best wishes to your office team.”
Compare & contrast.....
However, I cannot see the House of Commons permitting this. They have two main mechanisms for halting exit on 29th March. The first is revoking Article 50. Whilst unlikely, if push comes to shove I'm certain they would do this rather than crash out with No Deal. The other is to table the appropriate legislation. This is feasible even at the last minute and, again, I'm certain they will do it if necessary.
Which, if correct, means there's only one reason why we might leave on March 29th: that's if Theresa May's deal goes through.
Now having said all of that we have a BIG problem in the betting market around the interpretation of 'leave.' It has been mooted that the UK might 'politically' leave on 29th March whilst technically and legally it takes longer. That's going to cause a real rumpus for punters.
