Is the government going to quantify these "barriers" that digital trade agreements remove?

Maybe provide an economic analysis of these "barriers"?

Only then will the sheer level of mockery I mean when using the inverted commas in this tweet be revealed.
Do a digital deal with China and that will be A-mazing.
Do a digital deal with Nigeria, and there would probably be a benefit there.
Do a digital deal with any non-democratic regime, and it's not a bad thing at all.
Do a digital deal with Argentina, and that might be a good defensive move for the future.
But do a digital deal with Singapore and suggest that there is some benefits, then I'm afraid you've going to have to explain what they are.

What's the point of trying to convince a side that has farmers who are being damaged but would still vote to leave knowing it could put them out business and knowing they will be putting other people out of business.
There people aren't Eurosceptics anymore.

They aren't sceptical of Europe, because that would mean actually acknowledging European benefits after subjecting them to scepticism.

When did we ever see that?
Scepticism of the European project could possibly involve being sceptical of the negatives, which we never see.

Does everyone remember when politicians said we can't have a referendum on the deal because people had voted for Brexit and it would be asking the public again?
Does everyone remember when they said that the problem with the deal had nothing to do with Brexit?
Does anyone remember them being pulled over the fact they have now argued that the deal *was* Brexit and *isn't* Brexit?

There it is.

Sovereignty before solutions.
Sovereignty before peace.

But are media are still pushing the line that this is everybody's problem and not a problem caused by UK ideology.
The thing about "Taking back control of your laws" is that you can make decisions about your laws, not other people's laws. Especially not the laws you said you wanted no say over.

People who knew nothing about global trade refuse to accept the the most common method globally, attributes it to "EU thinking" and says they don't accept the position.

Gee, I hope we haven't listened to a whole load of people who didn't have a clue.

After years of yellow journalism in the US, one of the biggest forces in reforming the press were the advertisers.

Corporations refusing to advertise have played an important part in creating a more honest press that does not feel it has the 'freedom' to deceive.
And as for making fools of themselves, why advertise on a platform that is targeting a specific set of people unless you explicitly want to as part of your campaign?
For the majority of products, it will make more sense to spend their advertising budget on more inclusive platforms with broader audiences.

Is that democracy dying in dark behind him?
They've already shown they want to speak to the voice of youth.
My biggest complaint is:

Did anyone actually consider that Dan Wootton has an incredibly annoying voice?

This article about honesty in politics shows us why the European Union is in a difficult position with regard to the Northern Ireland Protocol. (Thread)
It begins with a quote, we are told, that was written by Lord Thorneycroft in 1947 about a plan that must be kept from the public.
Lord Thorneycroft may not have written those words.

He was the principal author of the pamphlet ‘Design for Europe’, published by the Tory Reform Group, but we don’t know who wrote that particular passage.
