"FARCICAL proceedings, rubber-stamping a CRUCIAL Bill in an afternoon"😱
What's most striking =treaty's ASYMMETRY: We are a service economy running goods deficits & service surpluses, yet this treaty gives the 27 free access here for their goods but gives us nothing..

❌NOTHING in return on services:
❌NOTHING for the City or Edinburgh;
❌NO passporting
❌NO equivalence
❌NO recognition of qualifications
❌NOTHING on data adequacy
❌NOTHING for the digital or creative economy, hard hit by the loss of free movement.💔😭

As for exports of UK goods, on top of the NEW BORDERS & BUREAUCRACY, our negotiators have LOST on:
Rules of origin, on SPS & on testing & certification.😭
EU exporters to us face no similar costs here, so it is not just asymmetrical, it is LOSE-LOSE😭#BrexitReality #BrexitDeal

our service access will be determined by EU's autonomous, reversible decisions
#BrexitReality UK = junior partner
"We are sovereign but NOT equal; they're 7 times bigger & they call the shots—but the outcome is a treaty that may grow their trade but cannot & will not grow ours"

"But at least we have taken back control & with one bound we are free.🙄 Alas, NO. Gulliver is tied down by that web of *32* c'ttees, where we have to explain ourselves not to the member states but to the Commission." 🤔😬 #BrexitFail #BrexitDeal
"If we ever use our sovereign right to diverge on standards or subsidies, the Commission has been given—by us—the treaty right to punish us with rebalancing tariffs. So in practice we will still be rule-takers, though no longer with any say in the rule-making."😱😭

We have sold our access for a mess of pottage & our real economic interests for a sovereignty shibboleth🙄
I reckon that is a rather BAD deal, but #NoDeal wd have been worse, so today’s FARCE must run its course. It is a BAD day for the country & a very SAD DAY FOR PARLIAMENT☡😢
