Remember when the EU could "go-whistle" for its divorce bill? Or when there wasn't going to be a transition? Or when a trade deal would be ready a "nanosecond" after leaving? politics.co.uk/comment-analys…
.@jonlis1 has done a damn fine job here of recalling, totting up and explaining the endless waste of Bexit lies.
@jonlis1 There are so many, I had honestly forgotten about half of them. They're like Britpop B-sides, but shit.

What exactly is the strategy May and Hunt are pursuing with this 'blame the EU' message?
On what world is it more likely that the EU would shift this weekend in the basis of these comments? None.
The only likely effect is flabbergasted dismay and a hardening against May for trying to cast the blame on them.

Ah, old story from 2017. My bad.
But still. Backdate my despair by a year.

The worst thing bar none about writing is when all the notes are there on the page and they have to be put in order before anything can be written.
When it's a major project - book chapters, long-form features - this can take a couple of days. You're doing a lot of the heavy-lifting of the piece without actually getting down to write it.
I hate it. It's the writing equivalent of tidying the house before guests come over.

“The trade bill currently making its way through parliament contains no provision for greater parliamentary involvement in trade agreements. In fact, it provides no formal obligation to even inform or consult parliament on negotiations.”

That’s an outrage politics.co.uk/comment-analys…
2/. “The Friday before lastmarked the Brexit supply chain deadline for exports to Asia. It is vital for businesses exporting to countries such as Japan to know the terms on which they are trading and right now they do not.”
3/ “The first freight ships have departed bound with no idea what our trade agreements will be there when they arrive”

Last week we heard a Swiss U.K. trade deal had been agreed.
By whom? Who scrutinised whether the post transition reduced terms v current terms were acceptable?

Over the last couple of years we've heard continuously from Brexiteers that one individual is the UK's leading trade expert - he has advised Ministers and happens to back no-deal Brexit. I think there should be more competition (niche thread) 1/
Many in the UK trade policy community think of Alan Winters as the lead expert - he's written extensively, advised pretty much everyone, and worked for Gov departments, World Bank etc.... 2/ sussex.ac.uk/profiles/97501
Unbelievable I know but Alan Winters is not on twitter. He also doesn't write extensively on Brexit. But he did write a rather stinging rebuke to Peter Lilley over the latter's claim about a WTO terms Brexit 3/ politics.co.uk/comment-analys…

After two weeks of relative silence and a lovely holiday I’m back in the UK. Time to talk about 🚨 REALITIES 🚨
They are realities that I find upsetting. They also make me angry. Alternatively, you could also call this my thread of desperation. 1/
🚨 REALITY 1: Apathy
Many tell me that the majority of British people are not against EU citizens and that we are welcome. I used to believe that. Can I still? It’s simple: if this were true, this majority would be with us. Visibly. Noisily. I don’t see nor hear them. 2/
Of course I know that we have amazing friends and champions. Of course I know many of you are. But this is Twitter and we have to recognise its echo chamber problem. Beyond it the situation is dire. I have heard so many stories about apathy I can no longer remember them all. 3/

Services: 80% of UK economy (architecture, management consulting, legal, creative etc) & big services surplus UK runs with RoW & EU. So why does Govt want to damage economy in #Brexit plan being discussed by cabinet today (focusing on goods only?) ft.com/content/2ce78f… via @FT
And anyway services get bundled in today's global value chains for high-value high-tech goods (c. Aircraft engines & their maintenance) which is what UK government is supposed to be promoting via its (mysterious) industrial policy announced back in 2016.
If you wanted a better trade & industrial policy for UK (which is desirable to create high-paying jobs via higher productivity) you wouldn't put it together in the way that #Brexit is taking us (raising barriers to trading with UK's big EU markets).
