Funny how the one person who insists we can't get on and do the things we need to do until Brexit is completed can't actually talk about any policy other than Brexit, even when they are explicitly asked. #ITVDebate

1. Since we’re having a general election, let me show you how a politician argues we should be removing environmental and food standards, but without actually saying so.
2. This is Owen Paterson arguing in the Telegraph that the EU is the enemy of science and the UK can lead the world in innovation post-Brexit.
3. The main thing to remember about Owen is his arguments don’t change. Take, for example, “Museum of world farming”

OK, talking about negotiations with closely aligned countries, let’s talk about Greenland.

Because when David wrote that tweet yesterday about previous deals he was thinking in terms of services, but the Greenland negotiation also had a problem with an existing deal, and it wasn't anything to do with services.
When Denmark held their referendum to join the EEC, Greenland were included and locally they voted 69-29 to stay out.

This is brilliant. David is joking at the end, but..

Since the MoU on GATTXXIV, from negotiating mandate to being in force,

FTAs under 2 years.:
Palestine 274 days.
The Faroe Islands 1 year, 8 months, 10 days

2nd generation FTAs?
None

CUs:
Andorra 1 year, 9 months, 13 days
What I really like about what @DavidHenigUK does here is that lots of people are talking about "doing a deal" and we're actually "undoing a deal". When journalists ask has the EU done a deal in that time, the answer is yes: Palestine, but it's not the point.
When politicians say "Can you name one that was done with complete alignment?", the answer is still yes: Greenland. It took 2 years, and Greenland left before the EEC thought "This alignment is taking too long, let's stick a mutual recognition clause in to speed things up".

Why is Jeremy Corbyn so unpopular?

His net approval rating is 'minus 60' - that's heroically, historically poor.

But why? And is there a way back, like 2017?

Been pondering with help of @chriscurtis94 @robfordmancs @ProfTimBale My latest 1/thread

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/…
@chriscurtis94 @robfordmancs @ProfTimBale So Just how unpopular is @jeremycorbyn? Well, the answer is off-the-charts unpopular.

Negative 60. The worst approval rating ever received by a Labour or Conservative leader, according to Ipsos/Mori /2
@chriscurtis94 @robfordmancs @ProfTimBale @jeremycorbyn It's actually a game of two halves - as @chriscurtis94 observes - which saw Corby start life as leader fairly unpopular, then around the 2017 election his numbers went up, but since then (since the Glastonbury 2017 peak) they crashed. /3

Thread: There’s an insidious argument that it is automatically “un-conservative” to oppose anything that has been baked into the British political landscape for more than a couple of decades. Hence Brexit is supposedly a sign of the Tories being irresponsibly revolutionary. /1
Now, I’m the last one to disagree with the notion that this government has been (and continues to be) cavalier and irresponsible in flirting with a disruptive No Deal Brexit, which was certainly not the Brexit which I and many others campaigned and voted for. /2
But the lazy idea being bandied around by journalists, commentators and others (@sullydish has a slightly more measured take) is that Brexit is inherently un-conservative. Which sounds pleasing until you actually stop and properly think about it. /3

Thread!! Big thread! Oh, coffee! Don’t go any further without coffee! This is an 80+ tweet thread about tax! People with goldfish-type attention spans, or people with no interest in tax or #Brexit need not even attempt. You have been warned!! There are three facets…
…to the “Brexit was about tax avoidance” conspiracy theories. We have “Brexit was brought in after the EU introduced the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive”, “Brexiteers want to keep details of their tax avoidance schemes secret from the EU” and “Brexit is about protecting…
…the UK’s tax havens. Did you know Mogg’s firm made £103million profit and paid zero tax?! Shocking!” The success of the conspiracy theory lies in the complexity of the truth. “The truth is out there” as they say. Well in this case, it’s in here. For the first time all…

Once again the @frontlineclub is packed with journalists, @Byline_Media folk, and TV cameras for the latest revelations in the Cambridge Analytica / Trump / Brexit saga from two whistleblowers.

Follow this thread for live-tweeting coverage, and forgive my typos...
... first thing to note is that security has been increased a level or two since last week’s gathering. Two checkpoints against the guest list, and a minder scanning the room.

We’re about to kick off...
... the focus of attention tonight is Shahmir Sanni, joined again by @chrisinsilico who was the focus last week. @carolecadwalla will be joining later when she’s filed at the @guardian

1) Thread - All Brexits are bad and what we voted for
It's often said by brexiters that "it's not all about economics"
However, the *actual* Leave campaign was almost wholly about economic arguments

With the leak of this 2-8% report those arguments are now trashed
2) We seem to have forgotten this however economics played a huge part in the Vote Leave campaign, making up over 2/3rds of the primary arguements. The clear message was we would at the least be no worse off and at best much better off. 4 of the 6 below state this clearly
3) & the fact is voters believed we would be no worse off. People prioritized immigration certainly, but against a backdrop of there being no consequences from Brexit - few are prepared to actually pay for ending FoM
