After last week’s no deal tariff announcement a few people suggested to me that tariff-hopping by shipping IE-NI-GB could be done without penalty. HMRC say no.
HMRC equally clear that no new checks at land or sea border
So if no new checks at either frontier I guess you’ll have to quite unsubtle to get caught, such as printing ‘Tariff Hopping Groupage’ in huge letters down the side of your trailer.
And what about Rules of Origin? I don’t see how you could have RoO procedures (to discourage repacking/ relabelling) NI-GB because that would be a de facto recognition that NI is a different customs territory. Anyone got a view?

EU Ag Comm Hogan doing his thing in Dublin: 'The reality is that you can ignore 99% of the howling in Westminster, which to be perfectly honest is becoming an embarrassment at this point and a stain on the UK's standing in the world.'
'The vote on Wednesday night in the House of Commons means that a small bit of common sense has finally prevailed...there are still thankfully a few grown-ups left in the room.'
On the UK no-deal tariff plan: 'A political stunt, pure and simple, designed to change the news cycle in the UK and weaken the unity of the EU 26 in relation to the Irish backstop.'

I understand that tomorrow the UK government will effectively describe an ‘honesty box’ border for Northern Ireland in event of no deal.
In other words the UK government does not intend to collect customs duties or have any other check or controls of any sort at the border. Instead it will rely entirely on self-reporting by businesses.
This could be app-based & rather than having to register for VAT there’d be some sort of new cross border trade registration system.

Do you remember Lord Trimble's legal challenge to the backstop? Announced with some fanfare, Today programme interview etc. Those people who have been crowdfunding it have got an update...
You'll be astonished to hear it's going nowhere fast: 'There is broad agreement from counsel that the case cannot be heard in a court of law at this stage. We have asked for opinions as to when that situation might change and are awaiting responses to that question from counsel.'
Fear not, there is still good work being done. A set of additional opinions have been commissioned 'to test and develop the grounds for our claim as part of our case preparation.'

It is (yet again) time to talk Northern Ireland and the no-deal approach we take to @BorderIrish (Thread)
@BorderIrish There are some things we know. 1) Politics does not allow politicians to look reality in the face or speak openly about the border.
@BorderIrish The EU stumbled about this more than the UK did in the past for obvious reasons. If they say “we won’t do a border” the ERG will say “see, there’s no NI problem”. If they say “of course there’ll be a border” - well, it is their fault.

All star Brexit cast @epc_eu in Brussels today including Commission deputy chief negotiator Sabine Weyand and former UK ambassador to the EU Ivan Rogers. Will post any good quotes/insights below.
Sabine Weyand: 'There’s no point beating about the bush - the Agreement was defeated with a 2/3 majority in the HoC. That’s a crushing defeat by any standards. It’s quite a challenge to see how you can construct out of the diversity of opposition a positive majority for a deal.'
Weyand: 'We need to have a majority that doesn’t just get Agreement over hurdle of a meaningful vote by a narrow majority but we need to a stable majority to ensure the ratification. That’s quite a big challenge. There’s no negotiation between the UK and EU - that's finished.'

Every day next few days I'll share one #depression/#anxiety insight from my own experience. If it helps anyone a wee bit, it'll be worth it.
1. "#Happiness" can scare #anxiety patients. In our heads, things are always going wrong. Fear of a "happy" moment undone is doubly painful.
Sorry, this won't be a daily affair as I had earlier imagined. But here's insight #2 based on my brush with #depression/#anxiety.

I'm going hunt sabbing for the first time this evening. It's cubbing season so they're training the new dogs to attack and maul fox cubs
No foxes were killed here tonight. Aaaaand breathe.

Please support your local hunt sabs, and look into how to start getting involved.
Cubbing is utterly illegal. Huntsmen advertise it as "Fun Rides". They go out in evenings/early mornings to brutalise unsuspecting fox cubs.
