 EU has upper hand in Brexit trade talks
Leo Varadkar

The EU will demand:
The same fishing rights in UK waters. 🇬🇧🐟🐡🇪🇺
A role for the ECJ post Brexit. ⚖️

So, that's taking back control of our own borders, laws..oh!
2/
 Exports in financial services: £26 billion
Exports in fish 🐟🐠🐠🦐: £989 million

financial services win ✔️

 There is a bit of "project fear" in the comments but most of the comments are Brexiter "the EU is the bully" or "bash the Irish"

Hello @LiamFox

You have until the end of the week.

"We’re going to replicate the 40 EU FTAs that exist before we leave the European Union so we’ve got no disruption of trade. Believe me, we’ll have up to 40 ready for one second after midnight"

I see that you have successfully negotiated replacement trade agreements where the UK doesn't export anything @LiamFox 🤡

You have however failed to successfully negotiate replacement trade agreements where the UK does export goods. @LiamFox

This is unfortunate.
Personally, I would have done it the other way around.

With Labour politicians gaslighting the public like this I don't think the Labour party deserves to exist anymore.
You are all too politically tribal, including you.

Labour have deliberately given us a far right government and a very damaging Brexit.

@Andrew_Adonis 2/
The main issue was a Labour policy of a GE before a referendum.

Keir Starmer lost the referendum before GE argument in the shadow cabinet meeting.

The LibDems should not have gone for a GE either and didn't vote for it in the end.

You Gaslight us on the issue being the LibDems with a GNU.

The issues was the independent Tory MPs and support for Corbyn.

Greive thought that he had the numbers for Margaret Beckett or John Bercow.

This gaslighting by you and others is why Labour deserve to die now.

 BBC whistleblower: BBC suppressing Russia stories

We all saw how @bbcquestiontime manipulated questions on #ReleaseTheRussiaReport, with the help of Fiona Bruce.

Fiona Bruce let @BorisJohnson not answer the question.

As we wait for white smoke to rise in Brussels, there's lots in the Sunday papers to mull over...starting with this nugget from @ShippersUnbound about how Northern Irish security fears pushed @BorisJohnson into pinning his ears back and going for a deal... /1
@ShippersUnbound @BorisJohnson Full story linked to below (£££) but spin aside, it's interesting that NI security & stabiity fears (derided as insifor months by many hard Brexiteers) are now cited as animating factors in the need for a deal. /2

thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/b…
@ShippersUnbound @BorisJohnson I've always been sceptical as reg readers will know about viability of a 'no deal' - both as a useful negotiating threat but also as an actual outcome that Johnson could really contemplate. It's such a messy way to get back to the deal space we've alwasy needed to reach. /3

#Brexit means that the super-rich get richer and everyone else gets screwed. What did you expect from a policy promoted by hedge funds?

Follow the money.

#Yellowhammer
NB: I originally posted a variant of this saying "the rich get richer...", but I suspect that there are a lot of comfortable middle-class people thinking that they'll do OK.

Wrong.

The only people who will benefit from #NoDealBrexit are traders betting against the UK Pound.
I suspect that there are whole lot of people thinking "well, I don't work in the car industry, so it won't affect me".

Really?

Do you use electricity?
Petrol?
Motorways?

The most interesting part, for me, about this @ShippersUnbound splash is what it says about Team Boris, rather than where the EU/Irish are on #Brexit - it's same old assumption that Merkel or whover is coming to the rescue. Not sure they are. 1/Thread thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/s…
@ShippersUnbound As I think you'll see @simoncoveney say on @AndrewMarr9 #Marr this morning, the Irish are not for turning...and the Coveney Sunday Times piece is pretty clear on that.

It takes a lot to see an "olive branch" in the pledge to use future relationship to do away with backstop /2
@ShippersUnbound @simoncoveney @AndrewMarr9 That is just EU #Brexit boilerplate, it's the same as Merkel said last week about using the Political Declaration to obviate need for the backstop

- so if UK either accepts NI-only backstop,

- or if all UK remained aligned in a way that makes border

...backstop falls. /3

Senior sources say UK prime minister May has secured private #Brexit concessions from Brussels that will allow her to keep the whole of Britain in a customs union, avoiding a hard border in Northern Ireland thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/r…
EU concession 1: The EU will write an all-UK customs deal into the legally binding withdrawal agreement so an EU-designed “backstop” treating Northern Ireland differently from the UK mainland is not required
EU concession 2: There will be an “exit clause” to convince Eurosceptics the UK will not be under the EU's customs regime for ever

Here's a thread attempting to set out the #Brexit timetable for the next few months, based on this insightful @brunobrussels article:
thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/a…
Salzburg Summit 20 Sept:
"Shouting over the “backstop” + starting point of a '“political declaration” on the future relationship that will be thrashed out at a sequence of summits'
Tory party conference 1-3 Oct:
Hoping "Boris Johnson and the Brexiteers in the Conservative European Research Group" do not do anything to prevent the next planned steps

Some #Brexit notes on where it’s at
EU gearing up for Brexit endgame but May will not get a chance to discuss Chequers/future relationship with all other European leaders until a final summit in Nov (or even Dec)
Salzburg summit in 3 weeks - May will address all 28 but with no discussion 
Completely separately Macron is pushing for a full EU28 discussion on future of Europe
