.@UKandEU have just released a next wave of our #BrexitWitnessArchive - not as box office as Philip Hammond but intriguing nonetheless. a few tasters. Let me start with @GavinBarwell

That leadership contest did Theresa May no favours on Brexit. No chance to put some flesh on what her - rather than a purist Leadsom Brexit might look like

After the election, Barwell was tapped up to become Chief of Staff. Here are his tips on how to establish a connection with a notoriously buttoned up boss

And Barwell reflects on why that decision by the EU to insist on sequencing made it so difficult to pass the Withdrawal Agreement - and why he think May's backstop would have led to a better deal (@stephenkb to note)

Three of them in a marriage.. Barwell on the eternal awkwardness of being Brexit secretary

Barwell on 3 big points of disagreement between May and Johnson - he reckons its 1-1 at the moment - and the jury is distinctly out on the last

slight detour.. why Michael Gove could sign up to alignment on goods

and one for our friends in the DUP to think about

Long and interesting account of Chequers.. I will not snip that .. but we asked whether the govt thought it would sell in the EU... they thought they had reason to after meetings with Rutte and Merkel

There is loads more on parliament, x-party talks and the end of Mays.. read the full @GavinBarwell here ukandeu.ac.uk/brexit-witness…
