“This decision by Speaker Pelosi … is about her choosing to keep Republicans off this committee that she believes are going to be running interference on behalf of former President Trump, specifically Jim Jordan and Jim Banks,” says @sahilkapur. https://t.co/CMsZEtCUaX

Nancy Pelosi rejecting Jordan and Banks, and then calling McCarthy’s bluff by moving forward without GOP members is exactly the kind of ballsy move republicans assume that dems WON’T do. It’s about time! Take notes, Merrick Garland. You too, Joe Biden.

This "command document" is not UK Government accepting what it did wrong agreeing the NI Protocol, and thoughtfully proposing solutions

It is the UK Government *disowning* what it did, and assuming the EU is going to be fine redoing it, for the UK's sake

We are ready to continue to seek creative solutions, within the Protocol on IE/NI, in the interest of all communities in Northern Ireland. However, we will not agree to its renegotiation.

Even reading the UK Government's Command Paper on the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland is a deeply unpleasant experience. It is so dishonest, so shameless, that it leaves one feeling physically sullied. Its problems are myriad & manifest. But its tone? Cynical and menacing.

— Michael Dougan (@mdouganlpool) July 21, 2021

Simplest way to think about today's UK announcement on NI Protocol is as a holding position: keep things in as much flux as possible in hope that EU wearies and/or someone comes up with an actual plan

Neither is likely BTW
