Against the advice of industry and the Civil Aviation Authority the UK will be leaving the EU Aviation Safety Authority, another victim of the UK's government hard red line against any agency which has ECJ oversight aviationweek.com/air-transport/…
A 2018 select committee report found "aerospace businesses, unions and academia is unanimous in support" of remaining in EASA. And that ECJ judgements have not been an issue. But ideology before industry or safety... publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cm…

I love "The EU believes it is a legally binding document".

Yes, a treaty is normally considered legally binding. And I don't think a PM who claimed to have got such a triumphant deal will want to renegotiate.
On the detail have been spending a bit of time thinking about how UK wide regulatory bodies will function when in Northern Ireland the regulations will relate to EU bodies but that won't be the case for GB... just in case you thought it was just about customs...
Thus for example will regulatory bodies covering Northern Ireland have access to EU databases when the same body potentially covering GB will not, and how will that work?

On this I suspect neither EU or UK govs have fully thought through implications.

I'd note that the EU-Canada deal consists of 1,598 pages of text. So this looks like matching UK games with EU ones. Not exactly reassuring.
I'm not reassured this is a great plan on either side. At best haggling over words might limit the megaphone negotiations, but I'd rather have seen some more consideration of the relationship before going to the legals.
Anyway it seems the EU might have been the first to suggest draft text in which case perfectly reasonable for the UK to respond. I'll stand by my thought that premature text in a trade agreement is not actually a good thing.

I have an article in here on the UK and gravity in trade (trading more with neighbours). Technology is changing trade but gravity seems to hold in general. The UK is already an outlier though in our services strength, but do we want to encourage this further in our trade policy?
Put more barriers in place to UK-EU trade and the chances are you comparatively weaken UK manufacturing in the regions we are supposed to be 'levelling up'. Focus more on services and regional disparities potentially grow, plus FTAs probably aren't the answer.
The UK economy after Brexit and the impact of trade policy on this should be but isn't currently the subject of serious discussion around Westminster and beyond. Too much ideology and seeking to retro fit solutions to that. Here's a clip of the article anyway...

How @DailyMailUK twisted the results of @Survation poll and created a nice little frontpage to support Theresa May with some beautiful YESes in red and some lovely supporting words, even though the front page does not actually reflects the results of the poll...
So, let's have a closer look at some of the questions asked and the ACTUAL answers of voters...
Q1. When UK Govt's negotiations over the terms of Britain's exit from #EU are complete, would you support or oppose holding a People's Vote - a referendum - asking the public their view?

- Support 48% 👈
- Oppose 34%
- Don't know 18%

Large margin 14% to support a #PeoplesVote!

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

The #EU decision to trigger "nuclear option" #article7 against Poland is extremely awkward for UK and bad news for a deeply divided EU leadership that lost its head when Macron got elected. A 1/thread

First. The problem for Mrs May, both immediate and longer term.

1. The UK has invested huge amount of diplomatic capital in expanding UK-Polish relationship after #Brexit

German MEP on recent visit said Polish officials joking about sheer number of UK ministers who visited/2
They sent 150 Lightdragoons for Nato trip-wire, started Belvedere Forum and even deployed heavy weaponry (Wills n Kate) in the Summer.

Tomorrow May, Hammond and Boris all going. A PM, Fgn Sec and Chancellor in one hit. That's serious diplomatic love. /3
