Key articles in Ireland/Northern Ireland protocol of Brexit deal. Thread
1. Article 5.2: sets burden of proof for customs goods. Treated as being subject to duties, *unless* conditions are established to confirm that they are not "at risk of subsequently being moved to the Union".
2. VAT. Essentially EU VAT applies, but revenues will not be remitted to the Union
3. 12.4 "the Court of Justice of the European shall have the jurisdiction provided for int he treaties" as to the application of this protocol.

12.5 Acts of EU to have same legal effect as within EU
4. 13.4 - Dynamic alignment of relevant acts. Failure of UK to dynamically align NI allows EU to "take appropriate remedial measures"
5. 13.6 - UK authorities to take lead on risk assessments etc relevant to the protocol from appropriate EU member states/EU authorities
6. Safeguard measures. Fans of the EEA Agreement will recognise Article 112 here.

The Brexit deal being debated only includes permanent arrangements for Northern Ireland. Everything else is part of the "future relationship". This has several implications
1/ Govt policy is to have a "Canada minus" type FTA (minus because EU will insist on environmental, state aid, and labour law alignment)
2/ Other types of agreement are possible. They still range from EEA and customs union membership (Norway) to No deal (but later)

My morning predictions of gloom may be confounded. (I still don't think the numbers are there even with the DUP, but it will be close)
OTOH

Now back to work...

While this report from @SMFthinktank is well intentioned, the mechanisms it suggests are focused on compliance requirements rather than incentives and would be better dealt with by other areas of policy. Thread with constructive suggestions. 1/
2/ It seems focused on what to do with low skilled, relatively low paid jobs that leave people stuck. As my company grows, it’s likely that I will employ people (e.g. in call centres) in such circumstances so it’s worth thinking about how to do so in a socially responsible way.
3/ But reporting requirements don’t seem to me to be the right answer. They create bureaucracy but don’t have a clear mechanism to effect change. The examples cited in the report were anectotal (e.g. Walmart) and no attempt was made to assess continental European policies.

Looking through new #Brexit deal, the preamble has lost some of the paragraphs in the previous #WithdrawalAgreement from April 2019 👇
Here's the addition in the preamble to the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland in the new #Brexit #WithdrawalAgreement that refers to democratic consent from NI for application of EU law. 👇
What might be a very important deletion of wording from what was in the preamble of the April 2019 version of the #Brexit #WithdrawalAgreement in relation to North-South cooperation, avoiding a hard border, physical infrastructure, checks and controls. 👇

🚨Brexit Thread 🚨
1/11 - Lots of talk and focus on what will happen to the Border in the event of a ‘No Deal’ #brexit
Let me outline the impact on just one of these roads for Freight:
The A1 crossing at Newry~Dundalk, currently a frictionless efficient strategic road 👇
2/11 - Over the 24hr period of Wednesday 5 June 2019,
8,390 Goods Vehicles crossed the border via the A1:
3,038 Artics 🚛
919 Rigids 🚚
4,434 LGV’s 🚚
3/11 - These figures are counted daily by Transport Infrastructure Ireland that employs a system of under surface counters on strategic roads across Ireland that can differentiate vehicles by axle lengths

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

THREAD 🧵🤓

🗳 What are #Brexit Indicative Votes?

🤔 How will the process work?

💡What ideas have been tabled?

🚨 Bare with me on this one... hopefully it’s worth a couple of minutes ☕️ 🚆 🚌
On Monday, MPs approved Sir Oliver Letwin’s proposal to give control of the Commons Order Paper on Wednesday 27 March to backbench MPs so that they could hold indicative votes on alternatives to the Prime Minister’s #Brexit deal.
The decision to back ‘The Letwin Amendment’ was seen as controversial as it disapplied a Commons rule - Standing Order 14(1) - which says that the Government largely controls what business is debated in the House.

THREAD: The myth of the soft Brexit majority.

A majority in this parliament needs to get to 320. It's been repeated so often that it has become a truth—that there is a majority for a soft Brexit in parliament.

Here's why that's almost certainly not the case.

(1/9)
Let's start with the Labour Party (245 MPs).

Soft Brexit is the position of the leadership (see JC letter to TM 6/2).

But there are at least 60 strong backers of a people's vote in the PLP & maybe 5 who want a harder Brexit.

So Labour brings max 180 MPs to soft Brexit.

(2/9)
What would the SNP do?

Well, Scotland voted to Remain, and yesterday Sturgeon said: "preferably asking for a longer extension to put the issue back to voters".

So don't count on any SNP support for soft Brexit
