As part of the entry in full force of the TCA, I've been refreshing all my graphics with the new numbering

Numbering guide here (now with annexes): bit.ly/TCANumbering

1/
We start with the governance arrangements for TCA & WA

2/
then a reminder about all the exit clauses in the TCA: plenty to choose from

3/
Plus all that on-going work the TCA commits both parties to for the next, long period of time

4/
A summary of the dispute settlement mechanism, just in case you might need it

5/
And the rebalancing mechanism for the LPF (which can be for later this year)

6/
And the piece de resistance: the mentions of other international instruments in the TCA, to highlight how much it continues to bind the parties together

7/
Will update PDFs in my repository shortly, once I've worked out why they're not saving properly: drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

In meantime, you're welcome to use (with credit) any of these images, to offer corrections, and to ask for new graphics

/end
All updated now, for your viewing pleasure

Government's Command Paper on NI and the DUP deal

thoughts to follow, but first impression is this is at least as much about presentation as substance

A long list of new measures


Image
Image
Image
Image
Slightly hard to categorise these measures, but roughly:
- 6 items of promised legislation
- 5 new institutional arrangements
- 5 commitments/promises on things (not) to do
- 4 ongoing pieces of work
- 2 procedural changes
- 1 clarification
- 1 relabelling

Lots of talk about regulatory alignment right now, so here's a go at unpacking what it involves, and what happens when you step away.

Let’s start with a model world, with 3 states

1/ Image
In this world, each state has some different regulations (each arrow): how much arrow point in the same direction shows how much they match up with their counterpart in other countries

(yes, it's more complicated than this, but you get the drift)

2/ Image
Each of these regulations forms some kind of barrier to trade

Since it's obviously #REULDay, you probably need to check out the govt's own records on this

Mainly because they're less than ideal

1/
Since the middle of last year, the govt has been running a #REUL dashboard, notable mainly for the very infrequent updates it gets

2/
Regular readers will know I've been doing a monthly tracker here, with a full databook available to you good people

A quick parsing of the #REULBill u-turn

tl;dr the ice feels a bit thin for No.10, compared to the post-Windsor glow

1/
You will recall that Windsor was notable as much for the lack of pushback by CON backbenchers as for its content

2/
At the time, I put this down more to a collective action problem than any substantive agreement over the Framework's content

Press release on the changes to #REULBill

Welcome change, but still not the 'certainty' it seems

gov.uk/government/new…

1/ Image
Original Bill defeat revoked any remaining EU law on statue books at end 2023, which was problematic

2/ Image
Now govt is saying it'll only revoke a specified list at this date, which will avoid unintended gaps

But no word on everything else

It's #EuropeDay, so let's read the letter from the EU27 ambassadors in today's Guardian, shall we?

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

1/ ImageImage
While not unprecedented, it's unusual for such a letter to be written: treat it as a demonstration of collective intent and openness

2/
For those in the UK unfamiliar with #EuropeDay, it's the main occasion when the EU recalls its roots in the 1950 Schuman Declaration as a peace project, hence the opening of the letter
