Lots of planets have a sassy London mayor
Yes I'm back
I've switched off some notifications in the hope that I don't see the personal abuse from the more vitriolic trolls
Unfortunately this means I might miss some notifications from the majority who aren't vile trolls. If your tweet is an important correction or question and I have not replied for awhile, send me a (polite) DM (if I follow you).
And thanks to everyone who sent supportive comments

1/ From leaked documents - the EU is planning two further statements when it concludes the Brexit deal this week. Most remarkable is this - the EU will terminate criminal law cooperation under the deal if the UK denounces the ECHR or guts the Human Rights Act.
2/ In the case that a data protection adequacy decision is ended, it's *possible* that the EU will end criminal law cooperation under the deal as a whole ("where necessary").
3/ This implements the option under the Brexit deal for either side to terminate the criminal law part in the event that the UK or any Member State denounces the ECHR or any of the three protocols referred to. I discuss that further here: eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2021/01/analys…

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…

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.
