Edited - brain still scrambled. Even now, I'm not sure that I've got the spelling correct.

A Lawyer contact tells me that the legal world is aware that the Attorney General said NO last night to the validity of Mrs May's 'new EU deal'...he been told to go away and find a way to say YES: A cohort of lawyers has been summoned.
Geoffrey Cox, the attorney general, will give a statement to MPs, Andrea Leadsom, the leader of the Commons, has confirmed.
This will come at 12.30pm, unless there is an urgent question which would come first. (Politics Live, Guardian)

'unintended consequences'applying the cap to people who face significant barriers to work is having unintended consequences and causing unacceptable hardship and difficulties for many families.
That report includes a long list of every aspect of the cap and the changes that should be made, any sensible person would conclude that it should be scrapped asap.gilsey wrote: https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/c ... rview.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A DUP source says they do not see how the party can support the deal following Cox legal advice.
Game over, it would seem.

This has been my understanding of the consequences of May's Withdrawal Agreement since its first debutgilsey wrote:Wren-Lewis
If you enjoyed the last two years and want more of the same, vote for May’s deal
I have been a barrister for 36 years, and a senior politician for seven months. My professional reputation is far more important to me than my reputation as a politician.

In short, if May’s deal is approved we can look forward to a politics dominated by internal squabbles within the Conservative Party, and the absence of constructive negotiations with Brussels, for perhaps the next four or more years. Much as we have seen for the past two years. This is because the WA does nothing to resolve internal Conservative conflicts, and more fundamentally conflicts inherent with Brexit itself.

Well, I don't think my original opinion of him has fundamentally changed. He simply turned out to have more professional (ie his legal profession) integrity than I had hoped. He's now shifted into "playing both ends against the middle" mode. Although he's still, thankfully, being fairly non-acktorely.citizenJA wrote:I was made uncomfortably aware I probably judge people too hastily with too little information.PorFavor wrote:I felt that Geoffrey Cox substantially toned down his delivery style today when he delivered his legal opinion.
They're damaged people, they're stuck somewhere with unresolved trauma creating more of it. Seriously. Good parenting and community support bring up decent people. A lot of people don't get either of them growing up. Psychological health is every bit as important as physical health. Make good therapy from trustworthy, professional people available for everyone. Nothing solves problems better than a community of individuals knowing who they are, worthwhile and valuable just as they are, knowing at their core no title, trust fund, career or other external attainment makes a person valuable. Those are people you can trust with your life.HindleA wrote:If you've got time for resentment and spite,you can't be actually that "hardworking" or at least crap at time management and judicious use of energies.

Some more cynical folk on Twitter pointing out that Cox earns a very great deal more money as a lawyer than he does as an MP. Which reputation does he care more about?PorFavor wrote:Well, I don't think my original opinion of him has fundamentally changed.

For the first time I genuinely think we might be heading for a general election. And I also think an election heald amidst this chaos could end up with Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister. Incredible given everything that’s happened over the past few months.
