Speechless listening to these idiots attempting to become our PM, particularly Johnson. His knowledge of trade, tariffs and the Irish border is unbelievable; he said there won't be any tariffs, mentioning GATT 24 - let's listen to someone who actually knows the truth.....
Here's another one of the cult of Brexit talking bollocks, John Redwood - SIR John! 😂 Knighted for services to the Welsh language no doubt!! His nonsense is followed by Sir Ivan Rogers explaining the facts.....
Dear @BBCRealityCheck @BBCPolitics @BBCNewsnight @BBCNews @maitlis @bbclaurak @BBCNormanS #BBCOurNextPM you’ve only had three bastard years to swap notes......

"The application for judicial review says that the Met police were given evidence connected to the Vote Leave and LeaveEU campaigns and the delays were exceptional, unjustified and in breach of the proposed defendants’ respective duties”.

Worried yet? You should be. - Whitehall operations would switch to 'Sandhurst Military Academy' as part of 'No Deal Brexit' contingency planning involving a military-style operation requiring a total of 3,500 Army troops.

Leave never mentioned this, it was all "The day after we vote to leave we hold all the cards and we can choose the path we want." - We choose this? Living up to the Banana Republic image day by day.

I've not done any #Brexit #border slides for a while.
Here's an effort to outline in as simple a way as possible what each of the main scenarios would mean for movement of goods across the UK's land & sea borders.
1/5
 [DM me with an email address if you need a grayscale version]
In a Transition Period, following the #WithdrawalAgreement, the movement of goods between the UK and EU remains free flowing.
During this time, the negotiations on the future UK-EU trade agreement will be underway.
2/5
If at the end of the Transition Period, there is no UK-EU FTA close enough to avoid a hard Irish border, the backstop will kick-in on a temporary basis.
It has both NI-specific and UK-wide dimensions to minimise controls needed across UK land & sea borders.

A glib and meaningless soundbite of the type we're becoming accustomed to in the Brexit 'debate' - is there a size of economy that is just right for being in a Customs Union?
It appears from multiple sources that the looking glass world of Brexit has managed to produce a 'compromise' between front benches that is merely a restatement of the fact the Withdrawal Agreement means indeterminate Customs Union bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Remember a 'Customs Union' is just a framework that still has to be negotiated that as base only means common external tariffs / no internal tariffs. Saying no means you rule out shaping this in a way acceptable to us, which doesn't sound like the confidence of a large economy

FW Steinmeier, German Foreign Minister:
"The very moment that the U.K. leaves, we'll have a border again between Ireland and Northern Ireland. That has at least the potential to ignite a conflict that apparently has become totally calm."

NEW: Ministers’ private concern over US Congress siding with Dublin. Specifically Cabinet sources point to impact on any US-UK trade deal should UK be seen to renege on commitments to Dublin.
In particular the Democratic Party takeover of the key Ways and Means Committee, the House of Representatives Committee with most influence over trade policy, that has in the past demanded trade deals be renegotiated, and in particular key Irish American Congressmen /2
Eg here is Chairman @RepRichardNeal of that key congressional trade Committee visiting the Irish border just a few weeks ago with Sinn Fein politicians - he also secured Gerry Adams an invite to the Obama inauguration /3

To understand where we go from here in Brexit we need to understand where we are. It isn't a pretty picture - thread... 1/
The PM believed she could find a deal that all of her party could support. As per Chequers this was the soft Brexit for frictionless trade combined with the hard Brexit for an independent trade policy. Such a deal almost certainly cannot exist 2/
What we therefore ended up with was neither hard or soft Brexit - but instead put all of the PMs aspirations into the Political Declaration, a document which the EU could only agree to because it was aspirational. The PM sold it as done deal. 3/

Recap of debate in House of Lords y'day on Amendment 25 re: Irish #border in EU Withdrawal Bill #Brexit
HoL had tabled an amendment specifying no checks & controls of any sort. Pared-back version offered by govt in compromise was passed.
Only 1 dissenting voice @PeterHain
(1/7)
Lord Duncan said govt accepted thrust of amendment but made 3 changes to ensure it's 'fit for the statute book':
- to reflect fact W'drawal Agmt =btn UK & EU not IRL
- to refer to '98 NI Act re: N/S cooperation
- tighten wording (but said still inc. range of checks/controls)
2/7
5 Lords spoke. Lord Cormack welcomed ‘real meeting of minds’ in this instance. Lord Murphy reported from BIIPA ‘unanimous agmt that Brexit is dominating British-Irish rels’

3/7
