« Which Boris Johnson is Europe going to get? » asks Germany’s Die Welt newspaper. EU hopes a strong majority for Johnson might allow him to negotiate a softer Brexit now that he is not beholden to the arch Brexiters in his party BUT /1 #GE2019 welt.de/politik/auslan…
EU leaders aware the PM could turn out to be hardline. The message they’ll send today from their summit in Brussels today will be« we’re ready » They’ll call for swift ratification of the Brexit deal so that both sides can start negotiating a« broad, comprehensive trade deal » /2
Thing is, EU doesn’t believe an ambitious EU-UK relationship can be agreed by Dec 2020 as Johnson has promised. Brussels hoping PM will use his majority to bust the deadline and extend talks by one or two years... But they know that’s far from certain /3

Angela Merkel holding TV address. Says in frightening times we want to be close to our loved ones but #coronavirus means we show love by keeping or distance from one another /1
Merkel thanks all heath workers "from her heart". Thanks supermarkets employees for keeping food on shelves and working as cashiers so that everyone can get the food they need /2
German Chancellor says she appreciates difficulties for citizens to observe #coronavirus social distancing rules. Says gov action reducing personal freedoms should never be taken lightly. Growing up under communism, she certainly values hard fought democratic freedoms she said /3

Europe travel ban proposal from European Commission is as much about economics and politics as public health. Why do I say that? /1
From a public health perspective, scientists say travel bans have limited effect in stopping spread of virus. And WHO already described Europe as épicentre of #coronavirus last week. The proposed travel ban would also have many exceptions to it which is WHY /2
A number of EU countries that have already imposed travel restrictions on own European neighbours eg Germany, Poland, Czech Republic likely to say the Commission-proposed ban doesn’t go far enough for them. They’re likely to want to keep their unilateral border restrictions /3

Self-isolation is tough on mental health and much more. LOVE this message being sent around in Spain. A #coronavirus self-isolation calendar of events trying to create sense of community while everyone shut behind closed doors 👇/1
Today, Monday at 9pm (this
IS Spain after all) everyone should wave torches at window/balcony (most Spaniards in towns/cities live in flats) in memory of #coronavirus victims. Tuesday 9pm head for the balcony un-combed, dressed in pyjamas singing I will survive .. /2
Wednesday, dress up like Jane Fonda (incl leg warmers) for an aerobic session to tune of We Will Rock You at 9pm. Thursday at 9 everyone sing happy birthday to all those celebrating birthday in self-isolation /3

Good morning and welcome to yet another #Brexit thread

Have just woken up this morning to see that the Government in the Lords backed down at 01:30 and agreed to give the #BennBill time to go through all stages in the Lords

So I'm going to grab a coffee and try to find...

1/n
the business for today for both Houses

2/n
And indeed, today's the day that the Lords starts on the #BennBill

No firm commitment on timing just yet but I will hopefully be here to cover it live

A quick counter to the argument that if he won an Oct14 snap election, Boris Johnson could turn up at the European Council on the 17/18 Oct and quickly negotiate a new #Brexit deal.

This is not how the #EUCO operates. /1
First, #EUCO decisions are generally well prepared by pre negotiations of the heads of state and governments representatives, the sherpas.

This allows the chefs to evaluate the proposals, to focus on the most important issues, and most often negotiate along clear alternatives./2
Second, on #Brexit, the EU27 have never done any direct negotiations with May

The Commission negotiates for the EU27, and then presents the agreement - if there is any - to the #EUCO.

There will be no direct negotiation betw Johnson and Merkel, Macron, Sanchez et al at the EUCO

BORIS JOHNSON

Boris Johnson is/was advised by Steve BANNON – Trump’s campaign manager & VP of the notorious, now-shuttered electioneering firm Cambridge Analytica, which he co-founded in 2014 w/ hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, who also backed the Breitbart sites.
bylinetimes.com/2019/06/12/bor…
📌Johnson and Bannon became friends when Johnson was still Foreign Secretary and Bannon was still in the White House in early 2017.

📌They have been in contact ever since and the fruits of this friendship have been evident for some time

SO in @BorderIrish @BorderIrishSea news it emerges that Karen Wheeler, the civil servant trying to manage the circus is leaving. She had a hard job and people who worked with her said she was a valiant straight-talker. Which is valuable in a world.../1
@BorderIrish @BorderIrishSea ....of constant delay and obfuscation by politicians. Time and again, as I reported, meetings of the Border Delivery Group got cancelled because the wretched cabinet couldn't agree on them. /2
@BorderIrish @BorderIrishSea And when NI business groups did finally get engagement, there was admirable clarity, despite all the wishful-thinking and head-in-the-sandism of the politicians. /3
