Sarah is referring to very important recommendations from @LordsEUCom on needs of musicians/actors/those working in the arts generally for easy movement between U.K. and EU post Brexit. publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201719/ld…
This is a very important aspect of the wider point about the link between immigration and services I explored here (referring to an acknowledgement by @NadineDorries in response to @Howard_Goodall that there was a real and serious problem here).
(@Howard_Goodall has also written an excellent blog piece on this)
(Footnote: getting unexpectedly to hear @spconnolly must count as one of the best surprises you could possibly have.)

Unexplored areas of the U.K. constitution: government control over the Commons timetable and if and how it can be circumvented.
Unexplored because the question is usually theoretical: the Government either commands the House, or it is brought down. A Government that doesn’t command the House but isn’t being brought down is a major constitutional novelty.
Also unexplored because there is no case law on it (the courts can’t get involved) and most of the “law” is in standing orders, a text book regarded (unusually in English law) as authoritative (Erskine May), and accumulated wisdom of Commons clerks and Parliamentary Counsel.

Not happy phrasing by @EvanHD.
The interview was disappointing (and as @StevePeers points out there was plenty of good stuff on Twitter with which to knock gaping holes in the 30 “truths”).
I appreciate that time is limited. But trying to get a seasoned operator like Lilley to criticise Gove wasted time.

As said at the front, I helped with the legal aspects of this report.
Like all the choices that the U.K. has in front of it, an EEA/EFTA type arrangement involves trade-offs and political judgment about priorities. Views may fairly differ (and differ profoundly) about those.
Moreover, any way forward is going to be a second- or third- best option for many. It’s no use refusing to look at your second choice option because it’s not your first.

Again, at such a key moment in UK and at such high political levels, evidence of deep misunderstanding of EU: The PM is under pressure in some quarters to delay #Brexit vote to allow her first to “improve” deal in Brussels BUT EU is determined not to budge at this stage
2) All EU leaders watching tomorrow’s vote. Of course they want to avoid a no deal #Brexit BUT they feel the deal - so painfully negotiated between EU and UK - is too fresh to re-open. Clarifications, yes but fundamental renegotiations, no.
3) The EU’s international reputation as a tough deal-maker is at stake here too. If Brussels now suddenly “gives in” to U.K. on EU red lines (eg backstop) then that would weaken the EU’s reputation in future trade negotiations with other non EU countries

1) How much of a threat is the Spain/Gibraltar question to the #Brexit summit on Sunday? This issue has the potential to be either a) huge or b) to disappear in to a puff of smoke
2) Spain feels hoodwinked. Gibraltar is of huge national interest (and hurt pride) for many Spaniards. Many at the very least saw an opportunity with #Brexit to gain considerable influence over the Rock
3) At the beginning of #Brexit negotiations Spain was promised that no decisions could be taken over the future of Gibraltar without consultation with Spain which is why throughout the negotiations process, there have been bilateral Spain-U.K. talks in parallel

1) On talk of Theresa May coming to Brussels to see Jean Claude Juncker this week, the Commission says this will be when concrete progress has been made on content of political declaration on future relationship between EU and U.K.
2) Those negotiations have been going on this weekend and were expected to conclude Tuesday this week. Let’s see
3) EU sources spelling out clearly the PM’s visit would be to finalise the political declaration NOT to re-open the withdrawal deal approved last week by the cabinet

1. I've noticed that threads debunking the WTO #Brexit option have become something of a cottage industry. They are all the rage these days. It doesn't do any good though because we are not actually dealing with people who respond to facts. We are dealing with a belief system.
2. Certainly it helps to raise awareness among those who are not intellectually subnormal but the people who most need to listen simply won't. They are not thinking it through and they are oblivious to the breadth of EU integration and just how much the EU really does.
3. That's because most of what the EU does is "invisible government". That which you'd never know existed unless it concerned you directly. This ignorance, however, is shared equally among remainers and leavers.

In Ireland for a two day #brexit download.

Michel Barnier already trowelling it on a bit thick with the EU family stuff... no doubt the Greeks feel that warm glow; and Mr Macron as he does his Eurozone reboot. Nord Stream II anyone?
Barnier goes on to say that the EU has so far “not received any workable solutions” so is sticking to the backstop as drafted.

That’s a goods border in Irish Sea and turning Northern Ireland into a regulatory enclave of the EU. /2
U.K. sources clear this cannot fly.

We saw what happened in Dec. DUP went ballistic and Sturgeon piled in.

So what are solutions? /3
