Here’s the full text of Sir Ivan Rogers latest on Brexit - a merciless analysis of a devastating failure of statecraft and the ignorance and mendacity of much of the British political class. news.liverpool.ac.uk/2018/12/13/ful…
Here’s Ivan Rogers on the mendacity of those who pretend that leaving the EU without a deal and defaulting to WTO terms will be no problem - the same fantasists who claimed that an EU trade deal would be easiest in history, doable in 2 years...
Here Ivan Rogers skewers the central intellectual flaw at the heart of the Brexiter narrative, that WTO terms is good enough for trade with the EU but not with anywhere else.
Sir Ivan on the central bargain at the heart of Theresa May’s deal. Britain’s most important export market services has been thrown under the bus to end free movement.
And here’s some welcome realism from Sir Ivan on the prospects of securing anything remotely comparable to single market access for services from any other jurisdiction...
Here’s Ivan Rogers on Plus-ism - the dishonesty of those peddling fantasy alternatives to Theresa May’s deal.
Sir Ivan on the biggest fantasy of all: “managed no deal”, now advocated by the same people who used to insist that an EU trade deal would be easy.
Sir Ivan on what would actually be at stake in a no deal scenario.
Finally, Sir Ivan on how the Brexiters are guilty of the very charge that they used to level at the EU. What will happen to faith in British democracy when the scale of this mid-selling is laid bare?
