Huge problems storing up for the govt this week:
Plan is to bring MV back tomorrow. Think almost certain not to happen as Speaker will rule out of order as (i) same issue twice (ii) contradicts Letwin amendment which says Brexit related legislation must be agreed first.

.@joannaccherry says Boris Johnson has behaved childishly but the EU will take the extension request seriously and could delay Brexit until February 2020.

DUP Chief Whip Sir Jeffrey Donaldson on @bbc5live doesn’t rule out possibility of backing an amendment on customs union this week – doesn’t rule it in either – BUT says DUP will meet Govt for further talks this week to see where everything stands

Oh. My. God. I’ve been waiting for this all week – I mean literally wondering if they would be brazen enough to haul it out again – and YES! Of COURSE they’re brazen enough! HERE IT IS! The Bridge to Scotland in all its shameless, outrageous glory! https://t.co/A7uci5G5R7

Could the DUP back Labour’s plan to keep the UK in the EU customs union?

Meanwhile at Stormont…
Monday's sham sitting of Stormont is nothing more than an Anti Rights Assembly that will give cover to religious fundamentalism and homophobia.
— Cllr Brian Smyth (@Briansmyth99) October 18, 2019
Alliance will attend Stormont when Executive agreed. Tomorrow's talking shop= pathetic DUP attempt to pretend to block equal marriage & abortion reform when they know will not achieve it.
People already think Stormont is a circus, we are happy to leave the clowns to it tomorrow.— Michael Long (@CllrMichaelLong) October 20, 2019
Alliance MLA Stephen Farry said: "I'm profoundly uncomfortable that the first time people are making an effort to have the assembly reconvened is to discuss how we can deny people rights." #TheNorthIsNow https://t.co/fYAf18E4y6

Fox's Chris Wallace said a "well-connected" Washington Republican told him that there's a 20% chance enough Republicans will vote to remove Trump from office in an impeachment trial in the Senate. https://t.co/qcRLgAdRCy

Team Trump went deep into the Orwellian dictator zone last week, asking the Party to ignore their eyes and ears on the president's naked corruption. Find out why I think it's going to take 50 Republicans to save the American Republic, in my new column https://t.co/LhGoAubOVI

Rudy Giuliani pressed the Trump administration to grant a visa to a former Ukrainian official who had been removed from his job because of concerns he was not aggressively pursuing corruption cases.
His visa was denied on corruption grounds.https://t.co/8XmO97cw0o

Interesting thread here…
Sorry but i’m absolutely sick of people calling Mueller a coward or incompetent. Perhaps, maybe, you should focus on the efforts to obstruct his investigation instead of saying he “missed” something.

No Spanish and Catalan riot police on Barcelona's Via Laietana tonight. Hence no violence. Just peaceful protest and music. #TsunamiDemocràtic#SpainIsAFascistState https://t.co/FDfS0kDZ9t
