1/ Some additional points to add to David's fact check of the latest no deal Brexit claims
2/ The "no deal is more legally certain" claim is false. I debunked this nonsense in a previous thread
3/ As for rolling over existing FTAs: even if they are all in place on time with identical terms, the UK trading position will be worse because the rules of origin will change, ie goods partly produced in the UK may no longer count as EU goods

2 Impact of the delay in receiving universal credit - based on a study on its roll out in the North East.

1/ Let's take a look at Mr Nelson's support for the rights of @The3Million, shall we? Because the record is...chequered.
2/ He was on a @britishfuture inquiry (with me and others) that recommended unilateral guarantees for @The3Million in December 2016. Details here: eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2016/12/bargai…
3/ The Leave MPs on the inquiry, Stuart and Braverman, then voted *against* such guarantees a few months later. IIRC Nelson tweeted his agreement. The purity of the Article 50 bill could not be sullied etc. My take on Stuart: google.com/url?sa=i&sourc…

1/? Here we go then, Jean-Claude Juncker's (probably) last ever State of the Union speech. Last year's caused quite a stir. Will J-C look to go out with a bang? Expecting big forays on migration, Rule of Law, foreign & defence policy, & probably a small mention of Brexit. #SOTEU
Juncker unsurprisingly starts out by talking up the current strengths of the EU economy. He points out there are a record 239 million people in work across Europe and youth unemployment stands at 14.8%. Adds: 'That figure is still too high but it's the lowest figure since 2000.'
Juncker says he's proud to have helped Greece stay in the eurozone despite the 'painful years' that caused, and adds: 'I pay homage to the Herculean efforts of the Greek people, an effort that others in Europe still haven't acknowledged sufficiently.'

Most evaluations of no-deal #Brexit scenarios (e.g. the @iealondon ones) seem to include some emergency last-second treaties between the EU and the UK that would be required. Does this work? People forget there are procedures. Read the thread to learn more.
1) you have probably read numerous comments along the lines of “it’s unrealistic to assume a deal after we haven’t reached a withdrawal agreement”. I’m not writing about that.
2) What I am writing about is procedure. Any treaty the UK and the EU conclude has to be concluded following EU law and procedure. This is what I am writing about.

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
