Irish Deputy PM @simoncoveney, with German Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas, says the “time for wishful thinking is over” to avoid a no-deal #Brexit. “There is no alternative 585-page agreement waiting to be dusted off”
Coveney: "These are fateful days and weeks in British politics. I remain convinced that there is a majority in the UK parliament which will do all it can to avert a disastrous crash-out #Brexit." Adds the deal is "fundamentally a good one"
Coveney says EU can issue "additional clarifications", but cannot reopen the Withdrawal Agreement itself

So. End of a grim week for #Brexit. Everyone says ‘no deal’ is impossible right? Can’t happen? I’m not so sure. Here’s why

1/thread
Let’s start with where we are. An impasse. Quite something that best we can agree at this late stage is to “take stock” before end Feb. /2
As Donald Tusk said, there is "no breakthrough" in sight. February is now essentially a lost month..../3

#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.

1) Thread - All Brexits are bad and what we voted for
It's often said by brexiters that "it's not all about economics"
However, the *actual* Leave campaign was almost wholly about economic arguments

With the leak of this 2-8% report those arguments are now trashed
2) We seem to have forgotten this however economics played a huge part in the Vote Leave campaign, making up over 2/3rds of the primary arguements. The clear message was we would at the least be no worse off and at best much better off. 4 of the 6 below state this clearly
3) & the fact is voters believed we would be no worse off. People prioritized immigration certainly, but against a backdrop of there being no consequences from Brexit - few are prepared to actually pay for ending FoM
