Wow! Just wow! 3 days until Brexit, and Andrea Leadsom is off chasing unicorns.
My gut is this is deliberate sabotage, rather than ignorance. She wants to put the EU's backs up as May goes into the talks. I believe it's unsanctioned sabotage ie May didn't put her up to it.
But it also tees up her resignation nicely. If we get and accept a long Brexit extension, there will be a general stampede of Leavers for the door. I don't expect any of them to still be serving in Cabinet within a couple of weeks. After all, what better excuse to run away?

Laws of Brexit # 1
Brexit means Brexit (we won, so get over it)
Laws of Brexit # 2
WTO is the genie of trade. The mere mention of its name will see goods and services flowing smoothly and tariff-free, just like they do in every other country.
Laws of Brexit # 3
Put any three Brexiters in a room, and they will emerge with at least four versions of Brexit. None of which they will implement, of course. You see, Brexiters don't get their hands dirty with the last 1% of the process. It's so trivial, it's beneath them.

Coming to #Newsnight slighly late, and wondering if I've stepped through a looking glass? Two Tories, then UKIP and Tommy Robinson. Is this the day the BBC stopped pretending to even have a semblance of bias?
No better on the panel discussion. When you have one person shouting "betrayal" and "17.4 million people" that instantly kills any chance of rational debate. Because it's impossible to counter something as irrational as that.
Also a genuinely bizarre setup to their TIG panel guest, with a question along the lines of "given the rise of far right parties, how do you have a hope in the European elections?" (paraphrased - it's late and I'm tired) Basically ignoring the 48% and the 6 million petition folk!

Jacob Rees-Mogg, reminding the world that the UK should not be trusted, and that we're actively contemplating taking a bad faith approach to anything agreed during our Brexit negotiations. That's Jacob Rees-Mogg, the man with hedge funds in Ireland. 🤔
So why might such a sterling specimen of humanity assume such an unhelpful public stance? No idea...

No, genuinely, it escapes me...

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

3/n

So. A quick gut of the Juncker #brexit letter.

Shorter: not a game-change as expected, but SOME new stuff that might influence waverers. 1/Thread
First up - the Withdrawal Agreement isn't getting reopened. That's still the line, see second para in letter, which is here /2

assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
Then repeats December European Council conclusions which (as May said to House) do themselves have legal force - all that good stuff about "expeditiously" concluding a trade deal etc.

(Leave aside for now UK doesn't know what deal it wants) /3

#Brexit: Theresa May presenta le alternative dopo che il governo ha dato il suo consenso all'accordo con l'Ue.

1) Il mio accordo
2) Brexit senza accordo
3) Nessuna Brexit

Tutto come previsto.
May: l'intesa del governo è un "passo decisivo che ci permette di andare avanti e finalizzare l'accordo" con l'Ue -> abbiamo rischiato grosso

"E' una decisione che è fermamente nell'interesse nazionale" -> caos no-deal

Ci sono "di fronte giorni difficili" -> Camera dei Comuni
NIgel Farage: il peggior accordo della storia. Tutti i ministri Brexiteers si dimettano subito

#brexit seems to be all about feeling over fact and this is especially true of the ReesMogg ERG faction of the Tory right.
I never bought the line that #brexit is about Democracy because most of the Tory right had zero enthusiasm for improving democracy in the UK few of them care about unelected house of lords the unfair FPTP electoral system or transparency on the contrary
Most of the Tory right are interested only in constitutional changes that suit them and if anything strive to be as little democratically accountable as possible.

1) Thread - All Brexits are bad and what we voted for
It's often said by brexiters that "it's not all about economics"
However, the *actual* Leave campaign was almost wholly about economic arguments

With the leak of this 2-8% report those arguments are now trashed
2) We seem to have forgotten this however economics played a huge part in the Vote Leave campaign, making up over 2/3rds of the primary arguements. The clear message was we would at the least be no worse off and at best much better off. 4 of the 6 below state this clearly
3) & the fact is voters believed we would be no worse off. People prioritized immigration certainly, but against a backdrop of there being no consequences from Brexit - few are prepared to actually pay for ending FoM
