Bonus clip from this week's @RemainiacsCast. 'So Brexiters that are complaining about difficulties, getting their own way within the EU27, are in for a nasty shock when all of a sudden we are going to be dealing with 160+ WTO members, all with their different interests.'@pimlicat
And if you want to know a little more about 'untangling' those tricky tariff quota rates (TRQs) that @pimlicat mentioned, here's a quick and dirty guide by @IanDunt on the very subject.
Btw @pimlicat you were bang on the money with your analysis in that clip!

1/ A few of clips from this week's DExEU SC. An incredibly impressive panel & I would recommend anyone interested in the politics, economics and legal aspects of Brexit to watch the whole session. @SamuelMarcLowe @CSBarnard24 @KirstyS_Hughes & @HenryNewman. So to the clips...
2/ @hilarybennmp : 'When someone says to you “managed no deal”, what is your reaction? What would you say about it?' @SamuelMarcLowe : 'It is a political slogan of no substantive worth.'
3/ @CSBarnard24 Talks about how 'a decision of Heads of State or Government' could be used (if brokered by the EU27 & UK) to break the current impasse between May and parliament over her Brexit deal. @SamuelMarcLowe

1/ A few clips from last week's DExEU SC am session. @SeemaMalhotra1 asks Sir Amyas Morse (Comptroller and Auditor General, National Audit Office) if there will be enough time to draft and pass the 800 Statutory Instruments (SIs) needed before March 2019.
2/ Sir Amyas Morse : 'And the other thing that is true, you might reach the end of the transition period and find that you don't have the agreement that you thought you were going to have, at all!'
3/ @hilarybennmp : 'Which do you think is going better, preparing for a deal or for a no-deal?' @julianHjessop (Chief Economist and Head of the Brexit Unit, Institute for Economic Affairs) is scathing!

#BrexitChaos - thread: need for definitions:

#NoDeal #nodealbrexit means crashing out: no arrangements with the #EU or other member states, no transition period. Means losing all existing trade deals & years of global negociations
#WTO ≠ trade deal (look it up!) 1/9
@theresa_may #WithdrawalAgreement is the framework for a future #UK #EU future relationship. Allows for an orderly #Brexit with transition period, but leaves many issues to resolve, trade deals and regulations to negotiate, which will take many years and be costly. No "dividend"!
It is possible to #StopBrexit and #Remain. This means staying in the #EU with all current benefits, reciprocal rights and protections, free trade and movement for goods, services and people within the EU. To do this, Govt must #RevokeA50 (Article 50=notice given to #Leave 3/9

Going to do a little live tweeting of today's #HSGAC hearing on the Flores Settlement which the administration and @RonJohnsonWI are looking to overturn so they can get the asylum system and hold children indefinitely in detention
@RonJohnsonWI @immcouncil and @AILANational have a statement for today's hearing which you can see here americanimmigrationcouncil.org/content/statem…
Currently @RonJohnsonWI is doing all he can to say why he thinks the Flores settlement is bad and how he thinks it incentivizes #immigration. He is doing a great job showing he doesnt know what he is talking about. Migrants do not know about the TVPRA or Flores...

Sie haben das Klasse umfasst. Ich wünsche mir , dass die EU-Politik auch den Umschwung (belegt via Umfragen) innerhalb GBs bemerkt und die Millionen britischen Bürger berücksichtigt, die weiterhin Teil der EU bleiben wollen.

The #EU decision to trigger "nuclear option" #article7 against Poland is extremely awkward for UK and bad news for a deeply divided EU leadership that lost its head when Macron got elected. A 1/thread

telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/12/2…
First. The problem for Mrs May, both immediate and longer term.

1. The UK has invested huge amount of diplomatic capital in expanding UK-Polish relationship after #Brexit

German MEP on recent visit said Polish officials joking about sheer number of UK ministers who visited/2
They sent 150 Lightdragoons for Nato trip-wire, started Belvedere Forum and even deployed heavy weaponry (Wills n Kate) in the Summer.

Tomorrow May, Hammond and Boris all going. A PM, Fgn Sec and Chancellor in one hit. That's serious diplomatic love. /3
