1/ A few clips from this morning's @CommonsEUexit. Incredible exchange between @joannaccherry and @RuthLeaEcon. Ruth Lea seems to think the port of Calais could ignore EU law to keep trade flowing freely between the EU27 & UK after Brexit under any circumstances.@SamuelMarcLowe
2/ Here's @hilarybennmp's follow up question. 'Can someone at the port of Calais set aside the rules of the EU when it comes to checking goods coming in from a 3rd country?' Short answer is no. @SamuelMarcLowe
3/ @DavidHenigUK explains what the difference is being in a Customs Union with the EU, as oppose to being in the Customs Union *with the EU.*
4/ 'Well Imho, I don't believe that scenario (being in a CU with the EU, but not in the EU's common commercial policy (CCP)) actually exists. If you have a CU with the EU you have to be in CCP.' @pinarart @SamuelMarcLowe
5/ 'I find the Article 24 The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) discussion a bemusement.' @SamuelMarcLowe
6/ 'What's the most frictionless arrangement the UK could aim for with the EU post Brexit?' @SamuelMarcLowe gives his expert take.
7/ Going to listen to the footy or maybe watch the snooker now...will be putting up further clips over the weekend. Any requests @SamuelMarcLowe, @DavidHenigUK and @pinarart?
