A useful reminder from @UKRI_News that you need to revisit what the gvt is promising right now should there be no agreement by the end of Transition

1/

@UKRI_News You'll recall that during 2018/9, the gvt made a number of commitments on what it would do should there be a 'no-deal' on Art.50

I'm most familiar with those on research, but others were made too

2/

@UKRI_News Well, one might imagine that those all just roll over to the new cliff-edge (currently 31/12/2020)

They don't

3/

@UKRI_News Instead, you'll need to revisit the government pages on 'Transition' (no B-word here, oh no) to check what new commitments no apply (fewer than before)

gov.uk/transition

@UKRI_News More of a PSA than anything, but it does underline why there was a push in some quarters in the old Parliament to get legal guarantees on certain points, for exactly this reason

5/

@UKRI_News tl;dr same-same, but also different
