Norman Lamont gets mugged by reality (and Mark Carney) on GATT Article 24 and the idea of mutual free trade under No Deal.
A reminder that before the referendum, Lamont thought we'd get a better deal than single market membership... telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/1…
"If you’re just making a fan chart of all the different scenarios, even one that has some resemblance to the present situation might be one worth documenting."

Lamont is basically saying, "Even if unicorns don't exist, it might be nice to show a 🦄 on the fan chart anyway."

Thread of clips from lectures given by Sir Stephen Wall on the history of the UK's relationship with the EU.
On the UK's prevarication about whether to join:

Treasury: "If this organisation succeeds we may find it's so economically powerful we will have to join it."
Foreign Office: "We needn't worry because it won't succeed."
On how the UK only joined after exhausting every alternative.

For Michael Gove and Boris Johnson, Brexit was never meant to be about leaving the EU.

Thread. (1/x)
Back in the mid-90s, when Euroscepticism first started to take over the Tory party, Bill Cash introduced an EU referendum bill in parliament but he stressed it "was not about whether the UK should be in or out". (2/x)
At the time, Michael Gove was a newspaper columnist and used Bill Cash's referendum bill as an opportunity to float the idea of a full withdrawal from the EU in an article subtitled "British withdrawal from the EU need not be suicidal". (3/x)

Ivan Rogers on the reasons why Theresa May has run out of diplomatic capital.

"There has been a hardening of attitudes in the last two to three weeks."
Ivan Rogers: The EU26 "are never going to put Leo Varadkar right up against it and say 'You simply have to move on this'. And he's in the room and she isn't."
Ivan Rogers: The EU was "celebrating, virtually with champagne corks, when Theresa May agreed to invoke Article 50."

On my way to @Die_Gruenen-#BDK18! I'll be sharing impressions so mute me now. It sure has a very democratic feel when most of party leadership ends up hanging out on a train platform in Bitterfeld due to changed train schedules.

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

(There's an alternate "diner" version I can't find anywhere online)

"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/…

Things that surprised/amazed me about Japan, an ongoing thread.

(More likely UI than food, but you know this already.)

It’s my first time here. Please comment away and/or point out my cultural insensitivities!
1. A very friendly immigration officer and I laughed together, and when I said “I don’t really know where I’ll be staying,” he actually applauded it.
2. Very nice and clean train from the airport, with power sockets, and vending machines onboard.

Tons of solar panels passed by on the way.
