1/ A few clips from last week's @CommonsEUexit SC on level playing field provs (state aid, workers rights & env protections) in the WA. 'What is the diff between being bound by a ruling of the WTO dispute body & being bound by a ruling of the ECJ?' @hilarybennmp @GeorgePeretzQC
2/ @hilarybennmp asks what the future level playing field provisions (workers rights, environmental protections, state aid rules) might look like in any future EU_UK deal. @GeorgePeretzQC @CommonsEUexit
3/ @hilarybennmp : 'Is it fair to say that in just about any circumstances the EU is

4/ Would EU state aid rules prevent LAB carrying out it's nationalisation & other manifesto commitments? @GeorgePeretzQC opening remarks are pure gold. @CommonsEUexit
5/ @patmcfaddenmp : 'On the matter of labour law, do any of those models (CETA, Turkey, Ukraine) that currently exist come anywhere near the access to enforcement for workers’ rights that exists at the moment?' Sara Ogilvie : 'The short answer is no...' @CommonsEUexit
6/ 'Dynamic alignment does imply that the UK would need to become a rule-taker. First of all, it is very unlikely that the EU would agree to align to UK standards. Secondly, we would need to, in a sense, calibrate with the EU.' @LydgateEmily @CommonsEUexit
7/ @Wera_Hobhouse : 'The Environmental Audit Committee has described the
proposals of the Office for Environmental Protection as being woefully
inadequate. Do you agree?' @LydgateEmily pinpoints three areas of concern. @CommonsEUexit

8/ 'The Q is whether any of us think that the EU is likely to enter into the sort of relationship we want without it requiring some form of state aid rules as a red line from their point of view....the answer to the question is, “Yes, that would be a red line”' @GeorgePeretzQC
