May didn't rule out a second referendum in today's talks. Whips talked a lot about process and what their parties will allow to be delivered. Corbyn will keep the PLP closely involved. More detail on *that* big meeting:https://t.co/Et9L8wUKZl

In my meeting with Theresa May I put forward Labour's alternative plan and raised the option of a public vote to prevent No Deal or leaving on a bad deal. There wasn’t as much change in her position as I expected but we'll have further discussions tomorrow.

the idea that Theresa May (62) and Jeremy Corbyn (69) should sit in a room together and decide the future of a generation of people who want all the things they fear, is absurd.

NEW – shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry writes to Labour MPs, insisting JC mustn't agree to any deal without a referendum attached. "Yes, any deal agreed by Parliament must be subject to a confirmatory public vote, and yes, the other option on the ballot must be Remain."

This is massive news. The country's largest trade union comes out and backs a People's Vote on any Brexit deal. No doubt Jacob Rees Mogg and Boris Johnson will be the first to point out that trade unionists are the 'elite'. https://t.co/h5QwVQvtea

May is assuring people that the government will lay an order for the European elections next week – and then hope they can cancel it later.

As MPs start to vote on amendments to @YvetteCooperMP's bill, the government defeat count stands at *20*
For context, Blair suffered 4 defeats in 10 years.
Even the coalition government was defeated only 6 times

So @BBCNewsnight reveals NHS Eng & Wales has been unable to stockpile some key drugs AND the senior clinicians who know have been told to keep quiet.
Brave doctor blows the whistle.
Every MP, esp those Cabinet members supporting #NoDeal is a disgrace, unfit for public office.

This report into secret funding of no-deal Brexit ads on Facebook appears to show a darkness at the heart of our politics. Lynton Crosby – and Boris Johnson – must be called to the DCMS Select Committee to tell us what they know about these operations. https://t.co/5NsEwvntSl

Mitch McConnell just blew up Senate rules to make it easier to put Trump's judges into court seats that he prevented Obama from filling. https://t.co/Jf99uErrqJ
— HuffPost (@HuffPost) April 3, 2019
This rules change is an appalling power grab with just one purpose: to get more unqualified, unfit judicial nominees through the confirmation process as fast as possible before the public realizes just how bad they are.

Think about this: No meaningful security at Mar-A-Lago. Anyone who pays initiation fee gets full access to Trump and Cabinet. No security in its wifi. Trump uses unsecure phone for tweets, easily hacked. Add security clearance scandal, multiple direct threats to national security

Trump said Mueller’s report should be released. House voted 420-0 to release it. But now Trump and his congressional allies are changing their tune.
They don’t want the public to see the full report, only parts of it.
That’s not going to fly. Barr must release the full report. https://t.co/xZwoq9AyY0
