Looking for some graphical summaries of the TCA, and the process leading up to it?

Then feel free to use the ones I've been making

bit.ly/UshGraphicFold…

1/
In the weeks since the TCA has agreed, I've covered the timeline of what comes next:



2/
A stupidly big one about links to other treaties:



3/
One about dispute settlement:



4/
And another big one about the structure and termination options, just today:



5/
And that's even before a big pile of trackers on the negotiations, reflections on political dynamics and more

Let's consider this for a bit, shall we?

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

tl;dr will be: completely counterproductive move by UK

1/
UK govt argues that EU office in London shouldn't have full diplomatic status, given its "specific character"

Practically, that means no protection under Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Protection

2/
That's the UK's call, as it is for all third parties: the entire system relies on external recognition of status, so no different in that regard

However, important to keep in mind various points

Just to underline the key points of this: the TCA highlights the extent to which the UK remains entangled in a dense web of international commitments, post EU-membership
With several hundred references to over 110 multilateral commitments of various kinds, the UK will find that the control it was claiming to get back will be closely bound by an international system that's very different from 1973
Those commitments are mainly focused in trade (as you'd expect), but reach across the board, into health, food and human rights

Thanks to the enlightened decision of @UniOfSurreyFASS to give us book tokens instead of an Xmas party, I will be reading lots of Dickens in 2021, since I've not done so before
Last year I read all the books in my pile that had got stuck there, so now that's done I'm trying something new this year

Since I've only ever read A Tale of Two Cities (London and Paris IIRC), I feel I should find out what the fuss is about

So one volume per month it is (hadn't appreciated quite how long they are)

You're very welcome to suggest what the second half of the year should include

It's dawn(ish) on the last day of this phase of Brexit, so let's consider what we've learnt

1/
Firstly, let's be clear that Brexit isn't 'done', despite yesterday's signing of the Trade & Cooperation Agt and the passing into law of the European Union (Future Relationship) Act

Brexit is a process, not an event

The TCA is a first cut of a new relationship between the two sides, but it is not the last word on the matter

Another TCA graphic for you, on how to resolve disputes

1/
Short version is that this is very much the same as the model in the WA (and in other FTAs), but with some important caveats

2/
(if you want to compare with the WA version, try this: )
