BREAKING. Sir John Major: "Complacency and nostalgia are the route to national decline"

"We are no longer a great power. We will never be so again. In a world of nearly 8 billion people, well under 1% are British"

"We are a top second-rank power"

2) John Major: "Our hefty international influence rested on our history and reputation, buttressed by our membership of the EU and our close alliance with the US.
Suddenly, we are no longer an irreplaceable bridge between Europe and America. We are now less relevant to them both"

3) Sir John: "I do find it surprising that – in the midst of the Covid crisis – the Government appears to be fostering disputes with the Judiciary [...]; the Civil Service, upon whose help the Government depends; and the BBC, still the most respected broadcaster on the planet"

I’ve collected a few past comments by Joe Biden on #Brexit.

Let’s start.

1) Biden (Oct 10 2018): “From the US perspective, US interests are diminished with Great Britain not being an integral part of Europe and being able to bring influence...”

2) Biden on #Brexit (Jun 29 2016)

“British decision to exit the European Union which is going to complicate life for Ireland and Northern Ireland and Scotland”.

BREAKING. No10 on #Brexit: “We have studied carefully the statement by Barnier to the European Parliament this morning. His words are authoritative".

“The PM and Michael Gove have both made clear in recent days that a fundamental change in approach was needed from the EU".

2. No10: “Lord Frost discussed the implications of this statement and the state of play with Mr Barnier earlier today. On the basis of that conversation we are ready to WELCOME the EU team to London to resume negotiations later this week. We've jointly agreed a set of principles"

3. No10: "We note that Mr Barnier set out the principles that the EU has brought to this negotiation, and that he also acknowledged the UK’s established red lines. It is clear that significant gaps remain between our positions in the most difficult areas"

Siccome oggi sarebbe l’ultima serata “di libertà a Londra”, prima delle restrizioni anti Covid...

...adesso vi spiego perché UK e UE si sono impantanati così sulla #Brexit, quali sono i tre scogli sinora insormontabili e soprattutto: ci sarà davvero il No Deal?

THREAD 👇🏻 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

1. Allora, cominciamo proprio dall’ultimo punto.

Innanzitutto: che cos’è il No Deal?

Il No Deal è l’uscita del Regno Unito dall’Ue SENZA ACCORDO, commerciale ma non solo (pensate solo ad accordi in vigore su aerei, sicurezza, antiterrorismo, uso di dati etc).

#Brexit

2. Ma il problema è soprattutto commerciale (sugli altri, a parte i dati, un accordicchio si trova).

Se il Regno Unito esce con il NO DEAL, quasi tutto l’export (e anche import da UE) non fa parte più brutalmente del mercato unico EU e vengono applicati dazi e tariffe.

EXCLUSIVE. "We want a Brexit deal with the UK. But the EU is ready for No Deal"

I interviewed Joao @ValedeAlmeidaEU, EU’s first ambassador to the UK. He expressed many interesting comments on the ongoing #Brexit negotiations

THREAD with some highlights

repubblica.it/esteri/2020/10….

1. Ambassador Vale de Almeida:

the aim is a "fruitful, ambitious, forward-looking relationship between the EU and the UK after Brexit". BUT "it is very important to make sure that the Withdrawal Agreement is fully and completely implemented".

#Brexit

2. Then he said:

Another challenge is "to engage with the British authorities, [...] Whitehall, No10, FCDO and beyond, but also with the DEVOLVED UK nations. This country is a union. It's not only the government in London, BUT ALSO the governments in the 3 devolved nations".

Perché la #Brexit è tornata a farsi bollente? 🇬🇧🇪🇺

E che cos’è la nuova esplosiva legge del Regno Unito che fa infuriare l’Ue e che viola trattati internazionali, come conferma Londra stessa?🔥

E a che gioco sta giocando Boris Johnson? 🧑🏼

Vi spiego tutto nel mio THREAD👇🏻

1. Breve riassunto delle puntate precedenti:
- la #Brexit diventerà realtà il 31 dicembre.
- UK e UE stanno negoziando le - complicatissime - relazioni future dopo quella data, tra cui un accordo commerciale.
- Johnson vuole un accordo stile Canada, per l’Ue non è possibile.

2. Ma di questo parleremo dopo. Ora c’è un problema più grosso: la Internal Market Bill, un disegno di legge sul mercato interno britannico presentato ieri dal governo Johnson. 🇬🇧

Un disegno di legge che è politicamente esplosivo e che ha fatto infuriare l’Ue per vari motivi.🇪🇺
