"it is a nation which carries injustice in its womb wh. will find its nemesis in conflict.
That injustice may be in relation to other nations...
But there is also a reckoning...for those nations which allow any internal injustice to persist for too long...

"Injustice that requires many of their citizens to live in austere circumstances or in an unfriendly environment.

Gave my flash-reaction to the news of a #deal at our #BrinkofBrexit conference this morning.

FWIW, here's a couple of thoughts on which I'd happy to be proven wrong...

[wee thread]
1/?
We know #Brexit is having an impact already due to flux & uncertainty.

I don't think this #deal necessarily gets rid of this in either short term [will it get ratified?] or the long term [we, in theory, cd all be back pondering how to avoid a hard @BorderIrish in <6 yrs time]
2/
The #deal on the table enables a hard Brexit for GB (what consequences for east/west?) and puts off nitty gritty of major and difficult decisions for the future, and (in theory) into hands of NI MLAs...

UK General Election now well under way–what did journalists learn from 2017 election and #Brexit referendum, and what has been done to address problems like lack of diversity, lack of reporters outside London, over-reliance on inside sources and polls? Thread with some reads 1/12
First, @risj_oxford data on public's view. BBC, ITV, and some newspapers broadly trusted, but just 40% say they trust news media (and only 10% news in social media), and in 2018 55% said they are concerned over stories spun to push a particular agenda digitalnewsreport.org/survey/2019/un… 2/12
One problem, @helenlewis writes, is that many “political journalists are stuck in the Commons and on Twitter"

#Brexit ALREADY costs UK £1bn pw as we Hit Holidays! @GoldmanSachs put that lower at £600m. but I'm looking at 2+% less GDP (than would have been); more Govt Debt (+interest); the growing impact of #Brexodus on jobs/taxtake; £devaln.&inflation creep, reducing Property values.1/20
@GoldmanSachs Am puzzled & mortified? that UK's so-called Major Political Parties @Conservatives @UKLabour seem umbilically disconnected? from the financial IMPACT of their recent (let's say) 'accidental collusions' and Brexit-Birth-Giving! Why the co-incidental & costly numeracy lapse? 2/20
@GoldmanSachs @Conservatives @UKLabour Assuming that (eg) @bankofengland @hmtreasury @ICAEW @The_IoD @cbicarolyn @FrancesOGrady are aware of UK's #Brexit financial haemorrhage? eg Govt Debt, Jobs/Tax, Businesses (all sizes), Individuals - there may be varying estimates? but agreement that a HUGE hit is ongoing! 3/20

So #Brexit has become a game of semantics.

So Sir Graham Brady wants " legally binding guarantee that the Irish backstop could only be temporary."

But what does that mean? /1

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…
Is he leaving space to accept the Tusk-Junker letter of Jan 14 being written into a codicil?

That's been on offer for a while. Article 50 (and the backstop) are by definition "temporary".

BUT.../2

That’s a LONG way from the list reported by @ShippersUnbound this morning and described by his headline writers as “peace terms” (ho ho ho) /3

Brexit is the backstop; the backstop is #Brexit.

After 3 days in Belfast, talking to all sides, here's what I've learned - on the business and the politics of this deal. And its viability.

1/Thread
First the business/technical aspects of how a backstop would work.

I talked to business lobby groups, Stephen Kelly from @ManufacturingNI fresh back from talks with Barnier. And bosses of big companies.

The are surprisingly sanguine. /2

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
@ManufacturingNI If the backstop emerges as the British want (and that is still an 'if') it would look as follows:

- all-UK in a temporary customs Union
- Northern Ireland only in Single Market for goods, via devolution
- no checks GB-NI
- 'de-dramatised checks on regs NI-GB

Critically ill Russian national is 66yo Sergei Skripal, former intel colonel/double agent granted refuge in UK after a 2010 "spy swap" between US & Russia. He and a woman were apparently poisoned in/near Salisbury shopping center. bbc.in/2D2oj7X
Ex-Russian spy & daughter 'poisoned' in UK sparks fears of another Kremlin-backed hit. Investigators scrambling to identify the chemical used. Skripal feared for his life after his wife died in a car crash & his son was killed in a road incident.. thesun.co.uk/news/5733372/s…
UK warns Kremlin over poisoning of ex-spy Skripal & his daughter. Recalling Litvinenko murder, FM Johnson said UK was "in the lead across the world" in trying to counteract a "host of malign activity" by Russia.

Skripal's brother, son & wife have been killed in the last 2 year.
