1/ Member States' powers to remove nationality are limited by EU law, but not extinguished. The one relevant judgment to date says that Member States can withdraw nationality due to deception, being in the 'public interest': curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
2/ The implication is that other public interest grounds might be possible. The CJEU also said that removal had to be proportionate and subject to judicial review. A second judgment on this issue is due on March 12th: curia.europa.eu/juris/liste.js…
3/ Finally, it's useful to observe that the UK Supreme Court in Pham, while not deciding the EU law point, was quite critical of the way the CJEU had brought deprivation of nationality within the scope of EU law: supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/uks… //

1/ The Home Secretary has written to his EU counterparts asking for adjustment to a no deal scenario. Story by @lisaocarroll with a comment from me. And here's the text of the letter ->

Sajid Javid warns EU counterparts of joint policing 'disruption'

theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
2/ Page 1. The Home Secretary admits that law enforcement alternatives in the event of no deal Brexit are "less efficient" and need more staff, ie cost more. UK has to change law. So might Member States. In six weeks?
3/ Page 2. Home Secretary: Please use Interpol instead of the Schengen Information System. There's no fall back in place for passenger name record exchange used for anti-terrorist checks.

1/ The UK and Israel have signed a post-Brexit trade continuity agreement. You need to scroll well down the press release to see that the text rolls over the EU/Israel FTA.
Some points. gov.uk/government/new…
2/ As @Annaisaac spotted, the press release points out that a free trade agreement increases trade between the parties. An awkward admission for no deal advocates.
3/ Also, the treaty is not a complete roll over. It only replicates the existing FTA "as far as possible". We don't know the details without seeing the text. It applies also in a no deal scenario.

THREAD..

..on the biggest and baddest lobbyists in EU town

..the huge influence they have on EU lawmaking

..and how many represent interests from outside the EU.

/1
According to Transparency International @TI_EU, the lobby organisation that has held the most high-level meetings at the European Commission between 2014 and 2018 is @BusinessEurope.

"BusinessEurope?!?" you ask.

/2
@TI_EU @BusinessEurope It is hardly surprising that the vast majority of people have never heard of BusinessEurope.

There is a worrying media blackout about how a complex network of organisations lobby the #EU on behalf of the world largest corporations.

“I came to the issue of vexatious defamation suits including #SLAPPs following the assassination of #DaphneCaruanaGalizia when we noticed the disappearance of news stories about #Pilatus bank - which she was investigating - from news websites in Malta,”
@JustinBBarthet
Many news outlets, threatened with potentially ruinous vexatious lawsuits by Pilatus through their London law firms, had removed this content.
The practice of #SLAPPs circumvents due legal process and effectively silences media reporting where the client has enough money to pay London law firms to make these threats. It fundamentally undermines any right to a fair trial.

1/ "Jesus said to him (Apostle Thomas), 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; No one comes to the Father but through Me." John 14:6
2/ The context in verses 1-4 is Christ telling the disciples about him preparing to leave (his upcoming death), preparing a place for them in heaven, and His eventual return. Then Christ inserts in v4 "And you know the way that I am going?"
3/ This prompted Thomas to ask in v5 "...we do not know where you are going, how do we know the way?" And this brings us to the absolute and exclusive statement in v6 that Jesus is the only way for unbelieving man to get to heaven. There are no other ways.

It's a criminal offence to falsifying a legal instrument. But if the #MetPolice / #LBRUT do it, then there is not even an investigation. 12 years of silence. Evidence to prove it - ukcoverup.com/search-warrant-

#skynews #lbc #theresamay #uk #bbcnews #coverup #c4news #worldnews #ukgov
Welcome to the #Metpolice who also changed & falsified my arrest details. Have a look at the evidence here ukcoverup.com/arrest-details as it's all easy to prove & that's why it's never addressed

"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/…
