A side point to the EP scheduling its vote on the Brexit Trade and Cooperation Agreement next Tuesday: the finalised text of the treaty was drawn up this Monday. The weird numbering was fixed (the treaty Articles are now numbered 1-783). Perhaps some minor text amendments too. 1/
2/ Here's the trade part of the final TCA - Articles 1-521: data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/S…

Security, dispute settlement etc, Arts 522-783: data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/S…

Annexes 1-18: data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/S…

Annexes 19-30: data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/S…

Annexes 31-49: data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/S…
3/ Protocols to the final TCA: data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/S…

All of this is now equally available in other EU languages (not just English, as it was back on Christmas Eve). See: consilium.europa.eu/en/documents-p…
4/ The Council decision on conclusion of the TCA, discussed here, has been revised to refer to the final numbering.
It remains to be seen if the EP has obtained some concessions re its role in implementing the treaty, and if so what legal form that takes.

There's no beginning to her integrity.
What if the real Brexit was all the falsehoods from Kate Hoey along the way?

Claudia Webbe is not currently a Labour MP, as @TanjaBueltmann correctly pointed out. Yet rather than correct his error, Mr Neil goes for mindless ad hominem.
The thing about Andrew Neil's tweet is not just its inaccuracy - or his subsequent doubling down and ad hominem.

It's that it's simply just basic mediocre partisan journalism.
A little bit of journalistic activity would have shown that the Labour shadow home secretary has done a 'both sides' tweet, while MPs broadly on the Labour left have been more critical of the police - although their tone is quite different from Claudia Webbe's.

EU reacts to latest UK unilateral measures re the Northern Ireland protocol. States that they are a breach of the withdrawal agreement and that it will react using the "legal means" in that agreement and the Brexit deal.
What are those "legal means"? The EU reacted to the internal market bill by starting an infringement procedure for breach of EU law. That was during the transition period; the position re dispute settlement under the withdrawal agreement has since changed.
Since Jan 1st, the main means of settling disputes about the withdrawal agreement is its dispute settlement system. A party which thinks that the other side is in breach holds consultations, then goes to arbitration if there's no settlement.

EU Council agrees on decision concluding the Brexit deal, and officially asks the European Parliament for its consent: consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press…
Links to the agreed text of the decision on conclusion, which differs from the Commission proposal. Some points 1/
2/ The Council agrees that the EU alone, *not* the EU and its Member States, will be a party to the Brexit deal. So no ratification by national parliaments, Walloons etc. Agrees with its legal service on this point. Text of the legal service opinion: eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2021/01/the-br…
3/ Council agrees to approve the treaty on the EU side as an association agreement. This means it needs a unanimous vote of the Member States and consent of the European Parliament, which has not voted yet. Remember the withdrawal agreement is a separate treaty, already in force.
