And next on @SkyNews David "Diddy" Hamilton to talk about Customs processes based entirely on information he read in the Spectator.
Iain Dale argued in the referendum that very poor countries like Liberia had tariffs on them and we can't remove them.

Liberia is on EBA. There are zero tariffs on everything but arms.
"Certainly" one of the reasons to vote to leave.
Sky: "Let's have that guy's phenomenal trade experience back guys."

Shall we do this?
At the top of this Seasonally adjusted data for Goods it says:

"OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE until 7.00am on Thursday 10th December 2020."

I'm guessing it's pretty new.

If we take exports, and a very simplistic view. We're looking at ~64% of our exports go to countries we don't trade with on WTO rules and ~40% of exports go to countries we do. Image

1. This is not correct by @BBCRosAtkins (Thread)

2. Firstly, the EU shared rules in the deal they did with Canada, they just did it in a different way.
3. Canada were required to sign up to several car regulations in UNECE.

1. Massive kudos to @Peston for the best coverage of the LPF problem to date by a British journalist, and although Robert concludes that it will be difficult to conclude a deal, I think I can see a way through.
2. Firstly, the EU has been upfront about wanting this in a future free trade agreement since the beginning of 2017.
3. We also knew how the EU do this, the Ukraine deal has this same mechanism and was drafted in 2012.

So in my whole time writing threads, I have never come across a more important one for Remainers as we leave the European Union, or one that exposes the politics of this country.

It's called: The story of Peter, Owen, and Anand.

(Thread)
It is July 2016. At the completion of the referendum and after a vote to leave the EU, the think tanks go to work. Anand co-writes a document proposing leaving the Single Market, the ECJ, and having full control of our laws.
Later that year, Owen would sit down and write an article in support for the Labour position of keeping as much access to the Single Market as possible. (October 2016)

If it hadn't been for those "Hard Remainers", there wouldn't have been a meaningful vote. That means there wouldn't have been indicative votes. Theresa May's vote would have been her deal or No Deal.
But I've said we're not going to be blamed, so tonight I'm doing that Peter Mandelson article, and to be honest, having looked into this, I have more respect for him than I started with.
In fact, what Owen is doing is the opposite of what Peter was doing. Peter's article was about trying to move on.

Apparently Boris Johnson's ready made deal did include a trade deal as it's main point after all...

(It didn't and this is just another example of how Brexit is driven by constant deceit)
For those keeping track, as of this week the rule was:
The EU are negotiating in bad faith because they aren't giving us the trade deal the WA guarantees.

Today:
The WA definitely doesn't guarantee a trade deal.
I don't mind making these notifications, but as Brexit goes on I think we might need a government institution to keep track of what was said, done, and written down as it changes from day to day.
