Michael Gove (March 2016): "We know that the European Union depends more on us than we do on it. The idea that when we have a free trade area extending from Iceland to the Russian border, that we're going to be outside it is nonsense." #GoveLies
Michael Gove (March 2016): "The day after [we vote Leave] nothing changes. Nothing damages Britain. In fact we're in a position to get a better deal than ever before." #GoveLies
Michael Gove said in May 2016 that "if we vote to Leave" we would "renegotiate the terms of our membership" so that "we no longer pay a fee to be a member". #GoveLies
Launching a brochure called "Paving the road from Ankara", Gove said that the EU is creating a "zone of free movement from our border to the borders of Syria and Iraq" and that if we vote to Remain we will have no say on future enlargement of the EU. #GoveLies

‘Taking back control’ of our waters has become a totemic rallying cry for Brexiteers, but what really lies behind the decline of coastal fishing communities, and is the EU just a convenient scapegoat?

Thread (1/x)
Modern fishing trawlers were first developed in the Devon village of Brixham, and were sold to ports such as Scarborough, Hull, Grimsby, Harwich and Yarmouth, enabling Grimsby to become the largest fishing port in the world by the mid-19th century. (2/x)
Historically, territorial waters had only a three-mile limit, determined by the distance that cannonballs could be fired from the shore. Waters outside this limit fell under the 'freedom of the seas' principle, which suited the UK as the dominant naval power of the 1800s. (3/x)

In 1992, the Queen addressed the European Parliament in Strasbourg in a speech which praised the European Union for realising Churchill’s vision of a united Europe. She wore a broach representing the 12 stars of the EU flag.

Thread (1/x)
The Queen praised the founders of the EU and noted that “their aims were much more ambitious than a materialistic vision”, quoting from Jean Monnet’s memoirs where he described the unification of European industry as a guarantee of peace. (2/x)
Concluding her remarks, the Queen called for the expansion of the European Union and for it to help Europe play a greater role in the wider world, quoting Lord Salisbury: “we are a part of the community of Europe, and we must do our duty as such”. (3/x)

Some extraordinary passages in Cameron’s book. Imagine the cringe factor of this: he tried to deliver a presentation to Angela Merkel in German, despite the fact that he could "barely speak a word of the language".
In the renegotiation Merkel warned Cameron against arguing for British exceptionalism. He later told himself: "The risks of playing with fire are now safer than watching the fire burn." Err...
Cameron admits that his 2014 conference speech, which raised undeliverable expectations, was aimed at stemming defections to UKIP. Cameron justifies his focus on immigration by saying "the numbers were out of control - you could see it in crowded doctors’ waiting rooms".

#BREAKING

#Lithuania #Vilnius

Last week #Lithuanian #parliament adopted the state #budget for 2020. The main #financial document of the #state was approved by the majority of voters.
It is sad to see how #Lithuania is #suffering without #money. Absolute #chaos – this is how they say in #Lithuania about the new budget.
So, state budget revenues are planned in the amount of 11.559 billion euros, expenses – 12.705 billion euros.
The budget deficit will amount 2.9% of the planned gross domestic product. In other words, the #Lithuanian #draft hardly met the requirements of #fiscal #discipline. The #budget #deficit for #EU member states should not exceed 3% of GDP.

Another crooked #Union boss was arrested.

Glenn Blicht, President of the Longshoremen Union Local 1964, was arrested for demanding and taking bribes from an employer in exchange for NOT representing Union employee's interests.

#ButNothingsHappening #UnionCorruption
LOL...and once again, THERE ARE TAPES!
Just as a reminder, and to put them in one place, there have been quite a few busts related to corrupt union bosses and officials. Here's the former VP of the UAW who pleaded guilty to corruption:

Karen Wheeler (formerly of UK govt #Border Delivery group) made some interesting points at @ifgevents #IfGBrexit today.*
Here's a v.brief summary.
1/5
*[so did @AllieRenison and @Lorand_Bartels too, you won't be surprised to hear]
She said UK govt has been trying to guide UK businesses in prep for #NoDeal but particularly difficult for NI.
'Cos v. unclear how IRL wd deal with border.

Without knowing arrangements on the other side, it is extremely difficult for cross-border traders to prepare/comply.

2/5
This leaves NI businesses at a heavy disadvantage in a No Deal, being only prepared for the UK side of trade.

Worsened, she noted, by high number of small businesses in cross-border trade.

Unilateral policy of the UK for land border in a No Deal thus 'somewhat difficult'.

3/5

THREAD: with 18 days to go and no deal looming- how have the Conservatives done when measured against their Brexit manifesto pledges on international trade?

Answer: not well.
1.) “As we leave the European Union, we want to negotiate a new deep and special partnership with the EU, which will allow free trade between the U.K. and EU member states.”

Verdict: failed. We are due to leave and the negotiations on the future relationship haven’t even begun.
2: “We will seek to replicate all existing EU free trade agreements entered into during our EU membership.”

Verdict: largely failed. Of the 40 EU trade deals we are party to right now, Liam Fox’s DIT has so far only agreed 6 “continuity deals.”

ACTA, the "Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement", was ultimately rejected. ​T​he agreement was an attempt to create a new global standard for intellectual property rights enforcement. wikileaks.org/wiki/Proposed_…

(THREAD--21 tweets) So this went well. Here’s what really happened at the G-7 summit in Charlevoix, Quebec. #g-7
1/ Trump magnanimously agrees to attend the G-7 summit--although he hates and despises the “rule-based international order” on which is based and all his instincts tell him to destroy it.
2/ Trump behaves like a man-baby at the conference, and alienates all the other G-7 members, without exception.
