We're going to be hearing a lot about "WTO Article 24" in the next few weeks, aren't we.
sad times.
A reminder to broadcasters that it is not at all relevant to the Brexit negotiations and the person using it is also probably wrong about its meaning and purpose.

This is the most coherent proposal I’ve seen so far from a leadership candidate.
(On point five, the ‘seek’ makes me think he’s rightfully not very confident about succeeding but will give it a quick go.)
For the avoidance of doubt, and before I get completely ratioed, I am making a relative statement. It is more coherent than proposals I have read from other candidates. Nothing more.

Could really do with a backstop right now.
And that’s what happens when you’re left waiting for alternative arrangements.

Where is France on #Brexit, EP elex, EU top jobs & future of Union? All now very interrelated. Thread based on recent trip to Paris. A lot was made of @EmmanuelMacron stance at last #EUCO. But France's concern is not that UK would act as a "spoiler". This oversimplification 1/
I know majority of officials at UKREP - this isn't how they behave/would behave in Council. France's concern is more subtle-that sheer presence of UK in EU will prevent EU being able to advance a new, substantive agenda beyond 2019. As one official says "UK is 15% of EU budget 2/
"As long as UK is MS, which country would accept a haircut on its expenditures?" So delaying deal on MFF. Or as another official says "Brexit has been good at forcing EU to protect its unity. But it makes it less easy to promote a new vision, new values & a new approach". 3/

THREAD: When the shit wants to get off the pot.

The centrists waking nightmare is currently the thought of actually having to endorse JC in important votes in the next few weeks, if his thus far winning strategy does result in May failing again. 1/
They don't want to vote w/ JC on any none PV resolution to #Brexit. 2 things can happen now as we get to the wire
1) May adopts JCs proposal, Labour backs the brexit deal, we're done. Brexit is solved & we can get on with a split & preparing left candidates to run against them 2/
2) May refuses to adopt JCs proposal and her same shit deal gets rejected again. Then a VoNC holds huge weight. The sabateurs skin crawls at the thought of voting for an election to happen that they'll be deselected in before it even begins. Lovely jubbly. 3/

You're bored of Brexit, right? Yeah so am I so is everyone. So you won't like this but I have bad news. We will still be talking about Brexit for many more years, maybe a decade - WHATEVER happens. However the events of the next few weeks play out. Think about it (thread): 1/
You think you'll get closure of a sort if TM gets a deal thru Parliament? No. That's JUST THE WITHDRAWAL. Once we're out we need to decide our future relationship. That debate (Norway vs Canada all over again) will take YEARS and may be even more divisive than today's debate 2/
Perhaps u reckon no deal Brexit will be the "cleanest" way out? One quick rip & the plaster's off, right? Wrong. Having left the UK would then spend the following yrs building/rebuilding the institutions, regulations & agreements that allow us to function in the global economy 3/

So seems point 1 is an extension/elucidation of what @DLidington told #r4today on Dec 14.

FWIW am told by Brussels sources this is now focus of UK 'ask' on reassurances/ clarifications. To set clear aspiration date for trade deal to avoid backstop /1

@DLidington Which as @DavidHenigUK quickly pointed out is, to put it mildly, ambitious. /2

@DLidington @DavidHenigUK This is not least because even if you think a 'quick and dirty' deal is doable on some aspects (you hear some discussion of this) the UK would STILL need to know what it wanted.

And as the Political Declaration makes painfully clear, it doesn't know. Or cannot agree rather. /3

1/ Last night, a conference audience heard from @carolecadwalla @peterjukes @Billbrowder @DamianCollins @DavidLammy & more how @facebook was used by Russia / #Brexit campaigns to falsify the referendum. Worse, UK Government is unwilling to open this up to proper investigation
2/ Despite @DamianCollins and his @CommonsCMS team doing an incredible job to open up the issue and show how a mass of lies created at least a dubious campaign, Government is "in hock" to global business and unwilling to shift
3/ @DavidLammy called out the Government and @UKLabour who, for different reasons, are colluding unofficially - one in hock to business, the other old Russian ties - neither interested in following up and @CommonsJustice & other select committees have not raised a finger

1. New round of #Brexit talks in Brussels today & #Prexit behind us, let's take stock of what EU papers are saying in Ep 100 of 'Nothing Has Changed.' (Thread.)
2. France's @LesEchos says TM is "increasingly fragile." Notes, "Clearly, chances that outstanding Brexit issues are resolved" in this round of talks "are close to nill." lesechos.fr/monde/europe/0…
3. @LesEchos: "The increasingly fragility of TM is a subject that's preoccupying the minds of EU leaders, who prefer to negotiate with a strong leader."
