Hope #Marr grills Michael Gove over food tariffs in the event of no deal. He's already said we will impose them to protect domestic industries. But if we go by current WTO tariffs, that would increase the price of the food we import by over £9, or 25%. Instant massive inflation!

Oops, sorry. Just noticed I missed a "billion" out. £9 BILLION! (I won't delete the tweet because it would break a number of comments).

Jeremy Corbyn may be pushing towards a People's Vote on Brexit for *2* reasons:
- Stem the tide of defections (may not stop it entirely, but should slow it significantly)
- bring the issue to a head at a point of lowish support for it in the HOC.
It's win-win for him: he stops the rot, and get to look as if he's fulfilling the wishes of Labour members... when there's a very good chance the People's Vote amendment will get voted down, neatly taking the "problem" (as JC sees it) off the table without opposing Labour policy.
But then what? What's the plan when the PV vote fails? Back May's plan? Sit in the corner and sulk (abstain)? What will JC do next?

These questions may become pertinent VERY soon!

You may not have much sympathy when you hear about people forced to repay huge sums to HMRC, or facing bankruptcy, because of the "loan charge". But remember:
- under the rules at the time, it was tax avoidance (legal) not evasion (illegal) - that has been changed retroactively.
- A lot of miss-selling went on. Taxation is a complex affair at the best of times, and huge numbers of firms were offering to set up these kinds of arrangements. It's inevitable that some cut corners in explaining the ramifications to their customers.
Anyway, just thought I'd bring it up, because this won't get a lot of mainstream coverage with Brexit shouting "Look at me! Look at me!" all day every day.

News emerging about our planned tariffs after a no deal Brexit. Sounds like a very bumpy ride ahead. (And expensive cars!). Hopefully the full document will come out soon.
And of course, if the UK's default position is zero tariffs on most sectors (which must be applied to all WTO members under Most Favoured Nation clause) then the incentive for other countries to do trade deals evaporates, because there aren't any tariffs to eliminate.
Another problem is that we're only talking about OUR tariffs. UK exports will still be subject to applicable tariffs, so "Made in the UK" is about to mean "very expensive", devastating exporters. And since nobody will want to do trade deals, that will become the new normal.

It takes a special kind of politician to lie to people and then suggest that people would have to be 'dim' to believe your lies.
Michael Gove is that kind of politician.

Micheal Gove.... You are being UTTERLY deceitful!!
A second referendum is not saying people were "too dim" when they voted for Brexit. It means they weren't bloomin PSYCHIC! Nobody knew the deal in 2016. We have it now. Everyone agrees it's crap. Let's vote. SIMPLE!
#Marr
This constant "YOU CALLING ME THICK?" is designed to make Brexit voters feel threatened by the notion of voting on a deal they themselves ALSO hate. It's truly disgusting politics. It puts words in Remainers mouths, inflames divisions. Completely irresponsible Michael Gove!
#Marr
And let's not forget, Michael Gove... if supporting a People's Vote on the negotiated deal is the same as calling people 'dim', then Jacob Rees-Mogg has also called the whole of the UK 'dim'.

Keir Starmer hints on #Marr that Labour's policy is preferential treatment for EU citizens after Brexit: "If you want a good deal with the EU, which we want, it comes with citizens being treated in that way"
Michael Gove tells #Marr he likes the Chequers deal because it will liberate the UK's services sector from the EU's "regulatory orbit." That's certainly one analysis.
Andrew Marr: "I think this is fake sovereignty"
Michael Gove: "Well, I think you're wrong. I think that's a fake question"

I am so angry & upset with 10 Downing Street for outing Shahmir. And I’m fucking furious with the BBC for treating it like a spat. #Marr theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/m…
This is absolutely indefensible. Number 10’s press office outed a 24-year-old man against his will. Think about it. This was sanctioned and approved by Theresa May’s government.
Why? Because this is a scandal that goes to the very heart of government. Boris Johnson, Michael Gove & 2 of Theresa May's advisors in the frame. This isn't about party politics. It's about the law.
