Stunning image of the protest in #HongKong today (just posted on @AppleDaily_HK's Instagram account.) Many we spoke to said it was the first time they joined a protest & felt a proposed extradition law would so fundamentally alter the city's freedoms that they couldn't sit back.

Why do they never get it? This maps perfectly on to Labour and antisemitism. The first response should be shocked introspection about why a member of an ethnic minority has come to think this. But no. Just denial and belligerence, every time.
BREAKING: Theresa May says she will step down as Prime Minister once Brexit is delivered bloom.bg/2FyjKWp
Amid the #Brexit chaos, 3.3 million people, so far, sign #petition calling on govt to revoke #Article50 & REMAIN in #EU.
That number is expected to keep rising fast, but it's worth remembering that 17.4 million people voted to LEAVE in the #EUReferendum

Nearly 3 years after the vote to leave #EU & less than 3 weeks before it's due to happen, the #UK appears to have made no progress at all. #Brexit #MeaningfulVote
GOVERNMENT DEFEAT: The House of Commons has again rejected the Government's #BrexitDeal in the second #MeaningfulVote.
The Commons voted 391 to 242 - a majority of 149.

Finally!! ... #Brexit: #Labour will back amendment for second vote, says #Corbyn – Politics live

48 letters are in. #Confidencevote is on. The ballot is scheduled for tonight. Can #TheresaMay last the night? #Brexit
Happening now: Speaking in parliament, #JeremyCorbyn says #TheresaMay must "make way" if she cannot get a #Brexit deal. @bloombergTV
Happening now: #TheresaMay defends her #Brexit plan in parliament, and says she will "do what it takes" to get it over the line. @bloombergTV
Happening now: #TheresaMay tells parliament she will now try to get "further assurances" over #backstop -- after pulling the vote on the #Brexit deal that she had said could not be changed. @bloombergtv
Happening now: #TheresaMay tells parliament that the #Brexit vote has been delayed because of issues over Irish #Backstop - she continues to defend backstop, but acknowledges it has not satisfied her colleagues in parliament @bloombergtv

I can’t follow anymore. After two years of negotiations, the Tory government wants to delay the vote. Just keep in mind that we will never let the Irish down. This delay will further aggravate the uncertainty for people & businesses. It’s time they make up their mind! #brexit
WOW.... #NicolaSturgeon calls on #JeremyCorbyn to: (1) team up with #SNP to oust #TheresaMay's govt, (2) "stop #Brexit in another vote" and, (3) end "this shambles."
So @jeremycorbyn - if Labour, as official opposition, lodges motion of no confidence in this incompetent government tomorrow, @theSNP will support & we can then work together to give people the chance to stop Brexit in another vote. This shambles can’t go on - so how about it?
But what will #Jeremycorbyn step forward and offer now - with a #Labour party as sharply divided over #Brexit as the #Conservative party?
Odds increasing of possible #NoBrexit? #TheresaMay said to delay parliamentary vote on her #Brexit deal due to humiliating lack of support + #ECJ rules that #Article50 can be unilaterally revoked by #UK
Tuesday's #Brexit vote to be called off, a source close to the matter tells @Bloomberg
MORE: Theresa May has called off a crucial vote in Parliament on whether to approve her #Brexit deal, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Here's what we know so far:
