EU says no more Brexit talks with UK, risk of no-deal increased
https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-eu-reaction-tusk-idUSKBN1QT2QH
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union will not negotiate Brexit again, it said on Tuesday, after Britain’s parliament rejected the divorce package for a second time in a vote that made a chaotic no-deal scenario more likely.
“The EU has done everything it can to help get the Withdrawal Agreement over the line,” Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said after the House of Commons vote.
“The impasse can only be solved in the UK. Our ‘no-deal’ preparations are now more important than ever before.”
In coordinated statements, European Council President Donald Tusk and the bloc’s executive European Commission said the EU had done “all that is possible to reach an agreement ... it is difficult to see what more we can do.”

我都覺唔會EU 27國都同意UK可以係呢個混沌情況下續期
特別一續期, UK就會有份選下期歐洲議會
一旦否決, 逼佢29/3 No Deal
咁May除左收返封信煞車之外, 仲可以點拆
其實班人係咪係時候發現, Brexit要求係Mission Impossible, May實際上係要係一個Mission Impossible框架下去談判

其實依家英國仲有幾多人支持Brexit
投咗票兩年
應該都頭腦清醒....啦？
soft Brexit就衰過留響歐盟（無得投票）
hard Brexit就經濟仆街+愛爾蘭內戰
如果英國啲人無咁支持脫歐
國會啲脫歐派會唔會轉軚

Brexit delay: France would block Article 50 extension ‘without a clear objective’, Macron says
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-article-50-extend-macron-merkel-theresa-may-france-germany-eu-talks-a8799506.html
Speaking at a joint press conference with German chancellor Angela Merkel in Paris, the French president gave the clearest signal from an EU leader so far that there would be conditions on an extension to the Article 50 negotiating period.
“We would support an extension request only if it was justified by a new choice of the British,” he told reporters.
“But we would in no way accept an extension without a clear objective.”
The president added: “As [chief negotiator] Michel Barnier said, we don’t need time – we need decisions.”
似乎暗示你搞公投, 我先唔會否決你延期

Brexit crisis deepens as British lawmakers to vote on no-deal exit
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-idUSKBN1QU0Z5
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s parliament will vote on Wednesday on whether to leave the European Union in 16 days without an agreement as the government said it would eliminate import tariffs on a wide range of goods in a no-deal Brexit scenario.
British lawmakers on Tuesday handed Prime Minister Theresa May a second humiliating defeat on the Brexit plan she had agreed with the EU, plunging the country deeper into political crisis.
The turmoil leaves the world’s fifth largest economy facing a range of scenarios - it could leave without a transition deal; delay the March 29 divorce date enshrined in law; May could hold a snap election or try a third time to get her deal passed; or Britain could hold another Brexit referendum.

O'Rourke tells Texas TV station he's running
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/03/13/beto-orourke-iowa-1220465
Beto O’Rourke told a Texas TV station Wednesday that he's running for president, and he's set to make a formal announcement Thursday morning.
“I'm really proud of what El Paso did and what El Paso represents," O'Rourke said in the text to KTSM in El Paso, Texas, according to the news station. "It's a big part of why I'm running. This city is the best example of this country at its best."
The station reported that O’Rourke will formally announce his candidacy on Thursday.
O'Rourke's intention to enter the race has become increasingly clear in recent days and weeks. He has begun quietly reaching out to state Democrats in advance of his first trip to Iowa as a presumptive presidential candidate, personally calling high-profile figures in Iowa, including former Gov. Tom Vilsack, according to two sources familiar with his calls.
On Wednesday, top O’Rourke supporters were alerted to prepare to text or email their own donor networks links to contribute to the campaign once he announces his 2020 bid, a source familiar with the effort told POLITICO.
O’Rourke is expected to arrive in Iowa on Thursday, where he will be assisted by Norm Sterzenbach, a former executive director of the Iowa Democratic Party who recently began organizing O’Rourke’s trip.

Senate passes resolution to end US support for Saudi war in Yemen
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/mar/13/senate-vote-war-yemen-saudi-arabia
The Senate has voted to end US support for the Saudi Arabian-led coalition’s war in Yemen, bringing Congress one step closer to a unprecedented rebuke of Donald Trump’s foreign policy.
Lawmakers have never before invoked the decades-old War Powers Resolution to stop a foreign conflict, but they are poised to do just that in the bid to cut off US support for a war that has triggered a humanitarian catastrophe.
The vote puts Congress on a collision course with Trump, who has already threatened to veto the resolution, which the White House says raises “serious constitutional concerns”.
The measure was co-sponsored by Senator Bernie Sanders and the Utah Republican Mike Lee. Next, it will move to the Democratic-controlled House, where it is expected to pass.
In its statement threatening a veto, the White House argued the premise of the resolution was flawed and that it would undermine the fight against extremism. US support for the Saudis did not constitute engaging in “hostilities”, the statement said, and the Yemen resolution “seeks to override the president’s determination as commander in chief”.
