Entirely self-explanatory from a Commons committee parliament.uk/business/commi…
From my own recent work I think there is much that could be added on the problems of no-deal Brexit - need for business visas having a real impact on services, and conformity assessment for goods are substantial issues getting little coverage
I do not recall ever seeing a supporter of a no-deal Brexit explain how this will help UK services providers to export, and not lead to immediate barriers. Now would be a good time for an explanation.

I have written again on why the Malthouse compromise is not a realistic proposal, but ahead of the latest Parliamentary debate let's also pick up some of the other strands of Brexit... theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
1. It is correct that the PM getting a majority in Parliament strengthens her position in negotiations, but only if it is for something that is realistic. This is not, as has been made clear repeatedly - here for example is an article from Sept 2017 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
2. The EU has said that the Withdrawal Agreement cannot be reopened. I interpret this to mean fundamentals will not be renegotiated. But I expect specific details could be changed if this was the price of agreement - that's the usual late agreement.

Those waking up to the exciting news that Conservative Party MPs have agreed among themselves on a Brexit deal are going to be awfully disappointed to learn that said plan is almost certainly a non-starter with the EU and has been widely debunked
One of the sources for the apparent Malthouse compromise is the document 'A Better Deal' which was the latest in a long line of documents from right wing thinktanks to pretend that you can have manage a border entirely with technology. Why have others not done so then?
The idea of an immediate Free Trade Agreement is a joke - yes of course any trade expert can knock up a permanent agreement in a lunchtime, so why do you think FTAs take 3-6 years to agree? Because there are hugely complex issues which will have a long term economic impact

Bold statement, implying everything the EU has said about the Withdrawal Agreement being final is not true. Seems on the face of it unlikely.
Starts to look like a rerun of the Salzburg summit fiasco, where the PM is absolutely convinced she can secure change to an EU red line, this time if MPs show backing.
Still this unless we all stand to be amazed.

#Brexit thread:

So. Tomorrow the House of Commons will vote on a series of possible amendments to Theresa May's 'Plan B' - or rather the 'plan of action to achieve a Plan B' - which itself officially reads as follows:
The amendment most likely to pass – and therefore the one on which most attention has been paid – is this one from Conservative party chairman Sir Graham Brady. It's effectively an instruction to go back and seek *some unstated other way* to avoid a hard border in Ireland:
Tonight, Theresa May has asked her backbenchers to vote in favour of this amendment. She is basically asking them to tie her hands, so that Brussels will clearly know what it would take to win the Commons' backing for any deal.

#BREXIT craziness update so maybots deal is blown out of the water l. Similarly corbyns vote of no confidence fails and won't be backed by SNP and lib dems
Despite her #BREXIT deal being defeated by biggest margin a government has lost a vote ever maybot seeks concessions on backstop despite being told to bog off by the EU with no realistic hope of a different answer
Corbyn meanwhile refuses to talk #BREXIT without no deal being ruled out despite knowing she can't do this whilst maybot makes no concessions either.

Please forget #Brexit for a second.

Anyone interested in the conduct of public servants and worried about being diddled by the U.K. state, read this short thread.

It is a very British scandal and is costing taxpayers £6bn.

But the good news is that we can fix it 1/n
It’s all about the retail prices index (RPI) measure of inflation and the FT has written about it today. 2/n ft.com/content/21ba0e…
If you want to read a very good report, the Lords economic affairs committee today has published a devastating critique of the @ONS and @UKStatsAuth 3/n parliament.uk/business/commi…

This thread is attributable to the work of @EmmaLBriant. Focusing on the work of Cambridge Analytica / SCL Group and its impact on elections.

A specialist in "political communication and propaganda particularly in relation to international conflicts"

"As an expert in propaganda, I conducted interviews with key figures at SCL, Cambridge Analytica and Leave .EU for research projects on the #Trump and #Brexit campaigns long before the data scandal was made public." - Dr Briant

This is a great video which provides lots of detail about SCL Group and Cambridge Analytica, the founding methodology and history of psychographic targeting developed by SCL Defence.

 . @neil_parish MP for Tiverton & Honiton

When you voted to trigger A50 you knew that the
Govt ref. leaflet sent to every household did not mention the
Good Friday Agreement & how leaving the EU will impact it.

Why did you vote to trigger A50?
Ken Clarke MP didn't.

 @neil_parish MP for Tiverton & Honiton

When you voted to trigger A50
you knew that regulatory alignment would be required for
Northern Ireland, as highlighted by the phase 1 report from 2017,
requiring both the SM & CU.
Does it not make sense to stay in the CU & SM?

 @neil_parish MP for Tiverton & Honiton

When you voted to trigger A50
you knew that it would have customs implications for everything from cars to fresh food.

If there is no deal how long will supermarkets have fresh produce on their shelves?
