Twitter seems to think May is on her way out. The EU seems to think so too, judging by the short extension they have granted until April if May doesn't get the WA passed. This is clearly to give us time to put another PM in place to ask for a lengthy extension, before the cut off to take part in EU elections.

The Revoke petition seems to have broken down again - or else it hasn't attracted one single signature for some considerable time (which I think is unlikely). I pop in to check on progress from time to time.

Urgent question on Brexit
In the Commons Matthew Pennycook, the shadow Brexit minister, is asking an urgent question on Brexit.
Kwasi Kwarteng, a junior Brexit minister, is responding.

Kwarteng is replying to Pennycook.
He says it is the government’s “full intention” to bring the meaningful vote to the house.
(But he does not say when.)
He ignores the rest of Pennycook’s questions.

Right at the end of the UQ Kwarteng says the statutory instrument changing the date of Brexit as set out in the EU Withdrawal Act will be laid on Monday or Tuesday next week.

The Labour party has urged the government to scrap “misleading” letters sent by welfare officials to GPs that have had devastating consequences for ill and disabled people left unable to claim benefits for several months.

I assume it was Portillo and Alan Johnson, you could call Liz Kendall many things but surely not dinosaur.

Seems to have ground to a halt again anyway.

Guardian investigations editor, Nick Hopkins, has been passed a confidential Cabinet Office document that warns of a “critical three-month phase” after leaving the EU during which the whole planning operation could be overwhelmed.

The classified document sets out the command and control structures in Whitehall for coping with a no-deal departure and says government departments will have to firefight most problems for themselves – or risk a collapse of “Operation Yellowhammer”, the name for cross-government planning for a no-deal Brexit.

“The … structure will quickly fall if too many decisions are unnecessarily escalated to the top levels that could have reasonably been dealt with internally …” the document says. It also concedes there are “likely to be unforeseen issues and impacts” of a no-deal Brexit that Operation Yellowhammer has been unable to predict. (Politics Live, Guardian)
