1/2 The screenshot in Hoey's tweet leaves out the date when the Commission approved UK government State aid for Channel 4. That approval was in *1991*, whereas the screenshot leaves the impression that it was in 2018.
2/2 Here is my screenshot of the press release on the State aid for Channel 4. Link here: europa.eu/rapid/press-re…
Note the 1991 date and the code with "91" in it are both missing from the Hoey screenshot. I don't know if it's been doctored, but I saw the correct date months ago.
3/ Seems that Ms Hoey has deleted her tweet with the doctored or out of date screenshot, although with no apology or explanation to date.
4/ tfw you spot a fake or misleading Brexity screenshot

A misleading statement that mixes up two different things. The UK, as an EU Member State, applies EU free trade agreements with dozens of countries, and EU preferences for developing countries. The implication that trade between UK/EU would be unaffected if no deal is nonsense.
Here's the original tweet, for those blocked by Redwood. The issue isn't whether you can trade without a free trade agreement, but whether you can trade *as much* without one. Only a charlatan would seek to blur this crucial distinction.
Also: there are no agreed treaties with the EU on aviation and road haulage in the event of no deal Brexit. These are unilateral, time limited, EU measures. Again Redwood lacks the honesty to admit that tariffs and non-tariff barriers would be imposed.

This latest no deal Brexit paper is full of false or misleading statements. Surprise! I will supplement David's excellent comments with some comments of my own.
Contingency arrangements for no deal Brexit have not been "agreed" in any legal sense. They are unilateral measures by the EU. Also if there's no withdrawal agreement, how can there be an "alternative arrangements protocol"?
The argument about the percentage of voters voting for the withdrawal agreement doesn't take them far, since only 35% of the vote went to parties supporting no deal. Two thirds of voters rejected their position then.

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia

UK’s @AmbassadorAllen:

#Novichok is not a weapon that can be manufactured by non-state actors… #Russia has provided no credible explanation… Therefore, we have no alternative but to conclude that the #Russian state was responsible [for a chemical weapons attack on my country].
This was an attack on #UK soil… #Russia is failing to comply with the conditions of the Chemical Weapons Convention…

Let us turn to the part of the CWC that #Russia is not talking about - Russia did not declare #Novichok & is therefore in serious breach of the CWC.
This was a reckless act… #Russia officials have repeatedly threatened those they consider traitors, before & after March 4 attack.

Russia has a history of political assassinations, interfering in other countries & a total disregard for civilian life.
