David is being generous about point 26 of the Lilley list of 30 “truths” about “no deal”.
In some areas it’s hard to see how the U.K. could continue to export food more than trivially to the EU on a “no deal”.
See Welsh lamb exports.
If you don’t believe me, read this report by the Welsh Assembly (with a UKIP chair: @MarkReckless). assembly.wales/laid%20documen…. Pages 16-25 cover the ground.

Two comments on this. One: the U.K. isn’t Norway, when it comes to financial services. Predicting how consultation or Art 102 EEA would work in practice is therefore tricky. As they say in FS, past performance is no guarantee of the future.
Two: it’s all very well criticising the EEA - but an equivalence regime also risks forcing the U.K. into rule-taking. And equivalence can be drawn at the drop of a hat and without the legal framework surrounding actions under Art 102 EEAA. That inherent instability is an issue.
And NB that even as an EU Member State the U.K. can and does get outvoted on FS: in which case it is also a rule taker.

@Jesse_Norman is a serious, interesting and thoughtful thinker about constitutional (and other) issues. So this is worth reflecting on.
I think my response would be this. If “flexibility” is a strength of the U.K. constitution - as Jesse says it is - then that is because it can rapidly adjust to unprecedented developments.
The situation that is at issue is unprecedented in its combination of two factors.

Thread - clear (beyond argument) untruth by the PM.
And this thread reinforces the evidence of untruth.
What is the importance of the untruth? Two points.

"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/…

#AskyourMP The Government referendum leaflet sent to every household makes no mention of the GFA nor how leaving the EU will impact it? Does this omission of key information undermine the referendum mandate?
#AskyourMP If para 49 of the phase 1 report from Dec 2017 requires alignment with SM and CU rules as a fallback, does it make sense to stay in the SM and CU and have representation on those rules?
#AskyourMP if there is no custom union deal with the EU how long will the supermarket have fresh produce on their shelves?
