Some interesting points to note from the leaked memo that @alexwickham published on BuzzFeed.
#Brexit
First is three wks provided for negotiating a detailed treaty. But that takes us to 23rd Oct, passed the European Council and crucially passed the deadline for requesting an extension. #Brexit
Second is the first element of the blame game, i.e. Theresa May got us into this mess and there is only so much that I (Johnson) can do to get us out of it. #Brexit

Good morning #Brexit wonks. I am off to the @ProsperityUK_ conference on Alternative Arrangements for the Irish Border - this is hunt for solutions by @NickyMorgan01 @GregHands - just read report. HUGE issues. 1/ Quick Thread
@ProsperityUK_ @NickyMorgan01 @GregHands Quick recap: why does this matter? Because if technology can solve the Irish border, then the all the UK can go 'bucaneering' and have independent trade policy outside EU single market and customs union, without leaving Northern Ireland behind.

BUT there's a problem... /2
The UK has committed to 'no new infrastructure' to make the border work and "no related checks and controls"...which makes it very difficult.

Add to this that 'no border' is what makes the Good Friday Agreement work, and local communities DONT WANT a border....

Very tought. /3

There is talk - not all of it idle - about whether the EU will give time-limits, or some other concession on the Irish backstop to get a #Brexit deal over the line.

But as I argue here, fake concessions won't do the job. Here's why. 1/thread

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/…
There are those like Sir Ivan Rogers who believe the EU will never actually give concessions of this kind to @BorisForeignSec because they cannot reward a PM with "trumpite attributes" - that may well be - but my point is that the EU can't have their cake and eat it on this. /2
@BorisForeignSec There is quite a lot of 'softeness' around the EU at the moment, as well-connected observers like @Mij_Europe have also seen - talk of giving new PM (yes, including Boris) a fair/professional hearing...particularly in Berlin /3

Right #Brexit class of 2019.

Wake up at the back there, Sir Ivan Rogers has just delivered another 11,000 word broadside.

I have read. Some highlights. 1/thread
Starts by warning that both Brexit 'reversers' and hard-break Brexiteers are killing the common ground for compromise. The result that May's 'my way or the highway' plan has not narrowed the gap, but widened it. /2
Then has a crack at the "bizarre" absolutism of brexiteers who once dreamt of an escape to Norway, but now lament it as BRINO /3

Dear @BorisJohnson,
There is no better Brexit when it comes to the Good Friday Agreement and Northern Ireland. As you still seem bamboozled by all this Paddywackery here’s a few pointers for your next stab in the dark -
1. Northern Ireland is made up of a majority of Unionists (as in the Conservative and Unionist Party) and, believe it or not, a rather large minority of Nationalists (as in Irish Nationalists)
2. These Irish Nationalists don’t see themselves as British but rather inconveniently as Irish (who knew?)

Just a reminder: the European Parliament has so far commissioned from experts dozens of impact assessments or studies on #Brexit in 14 broad fields. They don't necessarily constitute the EP's official position but are all free & available here: europarl.europa.eu/unitedkingdom/… Thread 1/6
They include studies on the areas in which the European Parliament has set red lines for its approval of any Article 50 deal, such as #citizensrights europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes… & the effect of #Brexit on the #peaceprocess in Northern Ireland europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes… 2/6
The studies on #Brexit also cover other critical topics such as the internal market and #consumerprotection europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes… and #financialservices europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes… 3/6
