"It’s not that difficult."

Mini-thread
This is where the (a) and (b) come from

And here is another response.

I am flabbergasted that Art24 is edging to centre stage of the leadership campaign.

Can we all agree to kill it? Art24 doesn't matter. It's the content—what can be negotiated and when—that matter

This may come as a surprise. Marc Carney, Liam Fox and Boris Johnson are all correct. GATT Article 24 can be used. It means having an agreement with the EU. An agreement with the EU

But the letter assumes the UK can hand over a 1-page deal and the EU will agree.

1/4
Would a 1-page deal be enough *for the UK*? It would only cover tariffs & rules of origin. Not product standards, regulations, recognition, food safety, animal and plant health, services, intellectual property, arbitration. Would the UK be happy to exclude any/all of those?

2/4
Would a 1-page deal be enough *for the EU*?

The EU will take some persuading that ANY new deal could/should be negotiated.

What are the chances of this being done by October 31?

What do British and EU calendars look like between now and then?

Some great insistent questioning on @BBCRadio4 @BBCr4today as well as @bbc5live this morning.

The answers are quite embarrassing. This is about a campaign to be the next prime minister.
There was this with @Emmabarnett on @bbc5live

And now @EvanHD with @JohnnyMercerUK on @BBCPM

First the good news.

We have a better explanation of GATT Article 24 from ardent Leavers, @MPIainDS and @DCBMEP.

Their description of Art24 is mainly correct. Mainly.

And the bad news? I’ll come to that in a few of tweets.



1/24
THE GOOD NEWS

1. They largely get GATT Art24 right. They define GATT Art24 as the WTO rule that allows free trade agreements. They even refer to GATT Art1.

Quibbles: a. it’s only about trade in GOODS, not services. b. You don’t “lower” quotas.

2/24

2. @DCBMEP is no longer describing GATT Art24 as something to use in an emergency 👇🏾. (He blocked me when I pointed out this was wrong)

Everyone now accepts there has to be a deal. We are not talking about "no deal".

#Thread on AJ+ Holocaust denial that triggered wide outrage.
Denying or downplaying the #Holocaust is not new. It has been a recurring theme by AJ arabic since its establishment. 1/
AJ has continued to recycle myth that number of #Holocaust victims is debatable, deny extermination & has accused Zionist movement of benefiting from it.
AJ+, however, always claimed it is different, but n reality, it is run by the same leftists/Islamists who deny Holocaust 2/
What I find hilarious is how some top Israeli journalists have convinced themselves for years that appearing in AJ will help bringing peace and fight antisemitism.
What a naive thinking 3/

La climatologue (ex cheffe du département climat de Georgia Tech) @curryja publie une analyse détaillée des projections de hausse de niveau des mers #Mini #Thread

Ce rapport lui a été commandé par des clients directement concernés, dont des assureurs. C'est un boulot sérieux produit pour le compte de gens très sérieux.
Les conclusions:
- Toutes les conclusions sont à regarder avec circonspection car la qualité des données de niveau des mers est moyenne.

Mini #Thread - Les gens qui saccagent des Porsche ou similaires oublient que:
Un objet de luxe est un moyen très pacifique de prendre l'argent des riches en jouant sur leur snobisme, et de le redistribuer:
- à des ouvriers
- à des vendeurs
- à des garagistes
- etc,
Bref, tous les salariés participant à la chaine de valeur du luxe, qui sont loin d'être eux mêmes millionnaires, en bénéficient. Le luxe est de ce point de vue un créneau comme un autre.
Qui plus est, l'objet de luxe automobile (mais pas que) permet d'expérimenter des technologies qui, plus tard, trouveront place dans la voiture de M. Tout le monde.

Mini #Thread - Pouvoirs publics: "Mais que faites vous de notre pognon ?" - Exemple du désastre financier annoncé du métro Grand Paris

contrepoints.org/2018/12/02/331…

Par @MPNathalie
Les calculs de la cour des comptes donnent le vertige: La dette consentie pour le MGP ne pourra être amortie qu'en 2084, et les frais financiers cumulés atteindront... 134 milliards, pour un investissement initial estimé (pour l'instant) à 38 Mds...
C'est embêtant, parce que ce genre d'équipement doit être remis à niveau tous les 30 ans environ. Et prendre un crédit supérieur à la durée de vie d'un équipement, ce n'est pas top en terme de gestion.

#THREAD: It was Poroshenko's ''State of the Nation'' address today. Here are some important points.
NUMBER 1: Poroshenko wants to amend the constitution by removing a clause allowing the Russian Fleet to be stationed in Crimea. "After we retake Crimea, the Russian base will no longer be stationed in Sevastopol!" he exclaimed.
NUMBER 2: Poroshenko wants to rapidly rebuild the defenses on the coast of the Azov Sea in order to be better prepared for any further Russian hostile acts.

Mini #Thread Règle numéro 1 du projet foireux:
- Si vous vous rendez compte qu'un projet est tellement foireux qu'il va vous coûter beaucoup d'argent, vous devez l'abandonner, MÊME SI VOUS PERDEZ CE QUE VOUS Y AVEZ DÉJA MIS.
Il vaut mieux abandonner un projet qui vous a coûté, disons, 500 millions, mais risque de vous faire perdre 200 millions par an quand vous y aurez mis 1 milliard, plutôt que de s'entêter.
Bref, quand on se rend compte qu'on s'est fourvoyé, il faut l'assumer.
Application pratique: si le gouvt a des éléments pour penser que le prélèvement à la source est pour lui un risque majeur, alors il DOIT l'abandonner, même si cela fera rire de lui. /fin
