So we're clear on the argument here: the logic (and it's not just Tice who does this) is that because we import *anything* from countries on WTO rules, therefore we could do *all trade* on WTO rules /1
The problem here is that they're arguing against a strawman (the idea that going to WTO rules would stop a trade). The actual argument is that WTO rules raise barriers to trade that impact time (to shelves) and price of goods /2
Going from highly aligned and integrated free trade (Single Market) to WTO doesn't stop all trade, it significantly raises the barriers to trade /3

Great move for transparency, voted through by the European Parliament today
Unfortunately right-wingers voted for the transparency decision to use a secret ballot so can't call out those who voted against this measure
And this whole move for transparency was pushed by UK Labour MEP @RCorbettMEP !

If Norway Tories worked with the ERG to produce this, then maybe they deserved the attacks from PV?

Because this is genuine 'typically found in a black plastic bag' garbage
Plan A is a rehash of ERG unicorns. Their 'better Brexit' plan was forgotten about not even 24 hours after it was announced. It hasn't improved in the meantime. It's effectively an alternative WA presented as a few bullet points (to replace 500+ page treaty). The EU will say no.
Plan B is next level absurdity, trying to pay for the transition period without a WA, which the EU have already said is not on offer. This is No Deal where the EU let's the UK avoid many of the consequences simply because the UK is hopelessly unprepared. Again, the EU will say no

1)
 As developments in #Venezuela are gaining speed, it is worth while to take a look at how former president Hugo Chavez agreed to permit #Iran’s regime build missile bases in the South American country.
And the Obama admin denied everything.
welt.de/politik/auslan…
2)
 “Chávez has signed a secret strategic cooperation agreement with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on October 19, 2010, aimed at building an Iran-Venezuelan missile base on Venezuelan soil.”
3)
 “The base is to be built on the Peninsula de Paraguaná, about 120 kilometers from the Colombian border. A small group of leading Iranian engineers from the Revolutionary Guard-owned construction company Khatam al-Anbia has already visited the site.”

1.) Stop & contemplating this for a second...While @SenSanders has hardly been 'Pro-Trump' he certainly HAS NOT led the #Resistance in opposition to the #TrumpCrimeFamily like @KamalaHarris or @SenWarren have. Matter of fact Bern's been rather absent from the #MSM ever
2.) Since conceding in the Primary in #Election2016...He was oddly silent during the flux of Democratic alarm ringers at the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, All but invisible during the #WhereAreTheChildren scandal letting other Senators like @SenJeffMerkley take the lead. His silence
3.) Regarding the #TrumpRussia Conspiracy has been deafening while on the reverse side, the words he has spoken in regards to #TrumpRussia , #Russians which were expressed in the way of his vote against the #MagnitskyAct & Against Sanctioning Iran & Russia. And now consider all

The servers at TT & Alfa Bank, Spectrum Health & Heartland PS, were communicating via DNS look ups, sharing packet data.

‘GOP, Trump & Rick Gates are reportedly directly implicated in espionage against the US 2016 primary/Pres elex via help from a foreign power.’
💣Espionage💣

Rick Gates, the indicted Trump campaign official and Manafort aide & GOP Operative sought proposals from Psy Group an Israeli intelligence firm to run a coordinated disinfo campaign against US voters to help Trump win the primary & general elections.

Initially Psy-Group offered a social media manipulation campaign which included fake social media profiles that would attack Ted Cruz and discredit him the eyes of GOP Party delegates, who was at the time Trump’s main competitor for the GOP nomination.

Donald Trump: "Mi orden ejecutiva evita que el régimen de Maduro venda o otorgue en garantía ciertos activos financieros venezolanos, prohibiendo que el régimen obtenga dinero de la venta de entidades del gobierno de #Venezuela."
Donald Trump: "Hacemos un llamado para que el régimen de Maduro restaure la democracia, realice elecciones libres y justas, libere a todos los presos políticos de manera inmediata e incondicional, y ponga fin a la represión y la privación económica del pueblo de #Venezuela."
