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

A good day to consider when Brexit might be 'done'

1/
consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press…
Today marks the nearly conclusion of the EU's ratification of the Trade & Cooperation Agreement

There needs to be an exchange of letters tomorrow, so the treaty can enter fully into force on Saturday, 1 May

So, done. right?

2/
Not so much

At the risk of repeating myself, 'Brexit' contains a number of different elements

Longer version with graphics:

A propos not much, let's talk a bit about why trust matters so much to the EU in its relations with the UK

tl;dr without it, it's very hard to do anything

1/
I've talked a lot about trust over the past years of Brexit, mainly because it's a central part of all negotiating: it's the grease in the system that makes things run much more smoothly

2/
How to build trust is pretty simple, as I've sketched out below.

Actually doing it? more tricky

So this is something

but what? Image
Let's ignore the final para of that, since @jdportes covered it already

The DfT press release notes 'consistently high' KAP compliance, which here means over 80%

An apposite day to announce I'm going to be next @UACES chair

Moving out of @SurreyPolitics office, ahead of starting @OUPolitics in May, and remarking in what a big part of my professional career @UACES has been
Since I started by PhD @LSEEI in 1999, @UACES has been central to my work, first with @UACESgf colleagues and then with those working on euroscepticism, including the very excellent @NicholasStartin, whose shoes I will be trying to fill as Chair
But @UACES folk have been there since I was a student, with their numerous textbooks and research outputs, and the events so numerous that I gave up trying to count a bit before lunchtime

I'm struck by the parallels between this and Brexit: in both cases, there's a failure to accept that making rules for your state doesn't mean being able to make rules for other states

In the asylum case, Patel is suggesting that 'illegal' entries by asylum-seekers will result in rapid removal from UK

But removal to where?

How do you get other (even 'safe') states to accept what are, under international law, people who are within their rights to be in UK?

2/
Likewise, Brexit debate has been about 'taking back control', but that can't mean 'forcing others to accept whatever you want', only 'asking others to see what they'll agree to'

So how does #IntegratedReview see the EU?

Mainly as a problem that's been solved, and then as base from which to build wider international action by UK

Neither part of this looks that robust

Johnson's foreword sets the tone: Brexit is done, so off we go!

2/
The 'PM's vision for 2030' reiterates how hunky-dory everything will be with the EU, rounded out by strong engagement in NATO
