Waiting for Johnson to start lying like... #ITVDebate
Johnson claims about trade between GB and Northern Ireland pretty dodgy #ITVDebate
Johnson's "blocking Brexit" claim is nonsense #ITVDebate
In answering a question about political honesty, Johnson repeats his false "40 new hospitals" claim
google.com/amp/s/www.mirr…
Johnson referred back to his record as London mayor, but that entailed a host of broken promises #ITVDebate
Johnson repeats the "building 40 new hospitals" lie. No matter how often he repeats this, it remains a shameless lie.

1/ Unlikely that the EU would ever agree that the EAW would *fully* apply to a non-EU country, since it would require some Member States to change their constitutions to allow their citizens to be extradited outside the EU.
2/ However, the EU might agree to a treaty on fast track extradition with a non-EU country, which contains most (though not all) of the features of the EAW. The precedent for that is the EU/Norway/Iceland extradition treaty, which has just entered into force.
3/ The political declaration already commits to negotiate a future treaty on fast track extradition with the UK along these lines. While the EU position is no negotiations on the future relationship before Brexit Day, the declaration might conceivably be fleshed out.

Surprise! Johnson is lying already and repeatedly about the impact of the proposal to raise the threshold for National Insurance contributions
He's at it again @OborneTweets

I mean, "£500 benefit in the first year" would mean that National Insurance contributions are payable at a rate of well over 50% 🙄
Johnson's falsehood on the effect of increasing the National Insurance contribution threshold in the first year rightly skewered here by @afneil

Back in Court of Session. Case before Lord Pentland by @JolyonMaugham claiming interdict against UK Ministers on grounds that the proposed Brexit Withdrawal Agreement breaches existing law on the customs status of Northern Ireland.
Aidan O’Neill QC appearing for petitioner. Will speak for 1 hour 30. Begins by stating that petition anticipated the contents of the Withdrawal Agreement - and was largely correct. Claims it breaches section 55 of Taxation (Cross border Trade) Act 2018 on Northern Ireland.
O’Neill: There is not yet an Agreement under EU Law - at it is not passed by the European Parliament as required. So this remains a live legal issue.

In the media frenzy of “Will there/won’t there be a new #Brexit deal this week?” things are likely to become clearer on Wednesday .. the eve of the EU leaders summit. In the meantime there’s lots of smoke, mirrors and second-guessing going on /1
Some in EU I’ve spoken to comment on how ‘upbeat’ key player Ireland seems to be. Which should, logically be an indication that a new deal is on track, right? Except others in the EU question Dublin’s motives: upbeat for real or to avoid being labelled the Nay-sayers, they ask /2
European Commission assures that the negotiations are being carried out in good faith on both sides. Clearly there’s political will to get this deal done once and for all. Little appetite for endless extensions on either side BUT /3

EXC: So. @PhilipHammondUK has finally said it - the entire 'bucaneering Britain' #Brexit narrative is based on a fallacy.

The much anticipated free trade deals don't outweigh costs of barriers to trade with EU from #Brexit 1/Thread

Full interview:

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/…
@PhilipHammondUK Think about that for a sec.

The whole row over the backstop and quitting the Customs Union is so we can win the right to make ourselves poorer.

So says the for Chancellor. They have "very limited" economic potential. /2
@PhilipHammondUK As you'd expect from 'Spreadsheet Phil' he's not making it up - he's run the numbers. (See research by LSE, HMT, @jdportes and others).

They are mad:

UPSIDE from FTAs all FTA is less than 0.5% additional GDP by 2030

DOWNSIDE of Canada minus deal? Negative 4-7% 'lost' GDP /3

So we all know the Northern Ireland border is a big issue for #brexit. But what about all the other British territories that don't make the headlines? Let's try to gather them up!

1) The Falklands, where 94% of fishing exports go to the EU single market: independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
2) The Rock of Gibraltar, which voted remain but is firmly British Communities both sides of the border face 'economic disaster' if a deal cannot be reached: chronicle.gi/2018/10/at-un-… Apparently just 'small' issues like the the border and tax yet to be agreed..
3) The Caribbean island of Anguilla relies on free movement: economist.com/britain/2018/0… Its tourism & postal industries depend on EU flights to the French & Dutch halves of neighboring St Martin. Citizens get medical treatment on St Martin. Third of its capital budget came from EU.
