No sign of Tariff Statutory Instrument from HMRC (some in Govt had thought today) - a requirement in law at some point ahead of No Deal Brexit...

Some tariffs could fall to zero globally

Some will see same as EU external tariff now apply to EU imports

Quotas too.

No info.
... still waiting for the new tariff schedule Statutory Instrument that it is in theory Government policy to apply later this month....
Some suspect that this vital piece of information - the biggest one off change to trading arrangements for decades is being held back until after Meaningful Vote...

Could they really have a vote on No Deal next week without publishing what they know will be new tariff levels...?
Nicky Morgan TSC Chair demands the tariff schedule before the No Deal vote :

Here Henry makes clearest case for May deal - as a compromise that will maintain current goods trade supply chains currently integrated with EU, while offering new trade freedoms in biggest section of Econ - services.

Striking thing - Downing St failure to communicate this...
... Number 10, and PM failed from the beginning to even make the case that a compromise was required, which is clearly their belief now. They can’t make case that this deal saves manufacturing, because they have never rolled the pitch for the idea that there is anything to lose.
... from my conversations this lack of willingness or perhaps capacity to properly sell the deal, and even to take risks to sell deal, has led to mistrust on other side - that there has been a lack of ownership of the clear domestic consequences of this international negotiation.

French Customs on day 2 instigating what I think are 3rd Country “reinforced” checks ahead of No Deal Brexit on all passengers at Eurostar terminal, (Calais too on freight) douane asking everyone (incl EU/UK) after bag search why in France, & for how long = lengthy queues/delays
Apparently could last for days now, & while queues here are not exactly unknown, and the French douane have had to endure many MUFC supporters gladly explain why they were in Paris... there are also what appear considerable hold ups on freight into Calais:
can assure you this most certainly is happening. Its literally here about 10 metres from where I am sitting and I can see it, and was asked alongside every other passenger same questions...

BREXIT PREDICTION THREAD: 1/ #BREXIT
2/ Mrs May will not be able to get the backstop removed from the WA. She will however get some additional promises and clarifications from the EU.
3/ This will not be enough to satisfy the DUP (what would be?) but many MPs, worried about impending no-deal brexit, will vote in favour of Mrs May's 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.

Thought I'd offer a few thoughts as to how this whole #brexit business is so bitterly divisive to the extent that foreign diplomats liken the divisions as being akin to that preceding civil war
For one thing there simply is no middle ground any soft #brexit means losing any say over the rules we still have to obey maybots duff deal was an attempt at compromise and was blown away as a worse version of the status quo.
#brexit also tears up the democratic social contract for both sides. Any democracy relies on all parties accepting the result of a vote but any campaign must also be conducted within the law

1) 2 observations about David Davis comments here
1stly the really pathetic point about the no deal #Brexit leaders is that even they don't believe in no deal, its still basically the worst bluff in history, believing 27 nations will fold on a cakeism deal before we do
2) if you believe in "no deal" & WTO is "liberating" then why talk about using it as leverage to get that "better" #brexit deal?
It's the same, tired, "they need us more..." line with added idiocy (hint: if you're going to bluff, don't tell everyone)

3) secondly, why does Davis still get airtime? He's been utterly wrong on every single aspect of #Brexit.

He thought we could strike individual trade deals with Germany. He also promised "exact same benefits". He attended 4 hours of negotiations. In all honesty, he's an idiot

1. This is a particularly boring thread but if this doesn't make the point about a no deal #Brexit then nothing will. It relates to an obscure story in the @FarmersGuardian last August and a blunder by the EU Commission.
2. The European Commission failed to re-authorise the Red Tractor assurance scheme, along with four different schemes from other member states, despite the application for re-approval being lodged six months prior.
3. The unexplained gaffe meant farmers whose grain was destined for the biofuels market were been left in the lurch, with some having to fork out for interim storage. No paperwork or tick in a box equals no trade. That's how the system works.
