My Brexit book is out! "Slaying Brexit Unicorns" is now live on Amazon Kindle. You can go to the Amazon UK listing for it by following the link below. I sincerely hope you enjoy it if you decide to read it. Please help me spread the word...
amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Z1FTRQW/…
Some of the unicorns it slays...
- Why no deal is the worst deal
- What trading on WTO terms would be like
- The £39 billion financial settlement
- Things were fine before we joined the EU
- They need us more than we need them
- Can't we just airlift stuff instead?
- Project Fear
The book covers a massive amount more ground than that, of course. You can see the complete TOC and quite a decent chunk of the book itself by heading over to Amazon and then choosing "Look Inside"...
amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Z1FTRQW/…
Worth noting: one of the book's appendices contains over 270 fully sourced examples of the impact Brexit has already had on the UK. It's an updated, expanded and much tidier version of my "massive consequences of Brexit" thread...

Tories are planning to roll out voter suppression measures... if you dig into the subject, you'll quickly find it's the poorest and most vulnerable who don't have ID, and they don't vote Tory. A leaf out of the US playbook, sadly.

One of the things I talked about in my new book was about the EU itself evolving. I am not sure how many people have cottoned onto the fact that it has many more trade deals than it did in 2016? Its new deals reached in the last 3 years cover around 500,000,000 consumers.
But that means when we're trying to size up the problem of replacing our trade deals via the EU (i.e. with those we have with other countries, by virtue of our EU membership) the task is getting harder by the day. We're running out of places the EU hasn't already done deals with.
Of course there are some big omissions: USA, China, India & so on. But in every case, the EU has been negotiating for years or decades already. So the idea that little old us will waltz over and get a comprehensive deal when the massive EU has failed so far is absolutely absurd.

Now here's a thing.

In fact, 5 things that the UK would do well sit up and pay heed to. As soon as possible.

They arise from the current visit of Speaker Pelosi & the congressional delegation.
#Brexit #FTA #GFA

1/6
1. Soft power works,
& Ireland has it by the bucketload when it comes to the US.

The combination of diasporic heritage + sense of moral achievement in @BelfastAgmt is hard to beat.

Congressman Richie Neal described entering the room in Belfast like a 'high school reunion'.
2/6
2. There is a strong US sense of ownership of @BelfastAgmt.

As Richie Neal put it to the audience in Belfast: "It is our agreement too."

And they recognise the GFA is not just a domestic concern.

Pelosi noted at the same event "what it means to the world as an example".

Thought #EURef campaign would be based on facts, not lies. I was wrong.
Thought media would call out #Brexit -er lies & challenge obvious bollocks. I was wrong.

#Brexit: ricapitoliamo.

1) La Camera dei Comuni incarica Theresa May di rinegoziare il backstop per evitare il ritorno della frontiera fisica tra Irlanda e Irlanda Nord.

Cioè quello che May ha cercato di fare a dicembre e inizio gennaio ottenendo una lettera Ue di chiarimenti
#Brexit: ricapitoliamo

2) L’Ue risponde subito: no.

Come già detto a dicembre l’accordo di ritiro, backstop incluso, non si può rinegoziare.
#Brexit: ricapitoliamo

3) La Camera dei Comuni dice “no” all’uscita senza accordo, ma boccia gli emendamenti per rinviare la Brexit.

"#Brexit and EU agencies", our extensive look into third country relationships of the 36 EU agencies and how the UK might fit in.

swp-berlin.org/fileadmin/cont…

Albeit largely technical, agencies will have huge implications on Brexit.

Five points stand out in particular:
First, Agencies matter. Like the customs union, they are a technical aspect of the EU, that works and was thus hardly discussed in the UK before #Brexit.
But they are important for single market, but also justice and home affairs.

UK gov thus has already asked to continue participation in selected agencies, in particular in sectors important to the UK economy, like aviation, chemicals or pharma.
