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
4/ ...and everything you ever really wanted to know about 'a decision of Heads of State or Government' but were to afraid to ask. A few more details from @CSBarnard24.
5/ 'There is a danger from the UK side in setting a fixed date to end the backstop.1, it is something I think the EU would never give us, & 2, if you do that, you create a new negotiation cliff edge, which you then rush towards & take actual power away from the UK.' @HenryNewman
6/ @KirstyS_Hughes & @HenryNewman share some thoughts, on what would be the chances, of the EU granting an extension to the A50 process. @emmareynoldsmp
7/ @jdjanogly : 'How could a second referendum be triggered in legislative terms, Professor Barnard?' @CSBarnard24
8/ And @KirstyS_Hughes shares some nuanced thoughts on what the question might be for any 2nd ref. @JDjanogly
9/@jeremylefroy: 'I just wanted to get your views on the difference, if any, there would be in the ease of negotiating future FTAs in the case of a no deal as against the WD, political declaration & hence the transition period.'@KirstyS_Hughes @SamuelMarcLowe @HenryNewman
10/ And if you want more *and I can hear some distant cheering* here's the transcript from the whole session. goo.gl/tWRSjp
