This seems like a good day for it to happen. The only reason the Johnson administration is still in existence is that we don't get long enough to focus on one story before another story occurs and the news cycle moves on.

Like the FCO's handling of Afghanistan...
If it's not corruption it's deception, crime, or incompetence, and it never seems to stop.
And in case you needed to be reminded, the government plan to scrap the institution that found him guilty of this.

Now, where have we seen this before?
When they say 'The EU is punishing us for Brexit' they are just projecting, and it is they who are punishing the Supreme Court and the Electoral commission for not cowing to their bullshit.

I have opinions about this rebuttal of @DavidGauke claiming he: "simply looks at the timeline of what has happened post-Brexit and ignores the broader context of trade policy"

...and I have facts too! (Thread)

If someone joined because they thought we were more about free trade than the EU, then it's nothing short of historical illiteracy.
When the UK joined the EEC it had an average higher tariff than that of the Common External Tariff (CET) of the six.

Because there is competition for the EU oranges, and the oranges from the southern hemisphere tend to have been stored at the end of their season?

Also, amalgamation in the fruit industry as a result of the Single Market, makes returns questionable.
Just the slightest bit of research from these "Brexit experts" would have saved us having to explain this before we left the EU and afterwards.

One of the arguments was that we can't drop tariffs on countries that on EBA we can't... 🙄

From the people who argued that a leaflet with a government seal was binding on parliament. 🤣
"We'll just get rid of that inconvenient separation of power."
The "will of the people" in a representative democracy is, of course, bound in parliament.

The solution is, of course, the Ukrainian model...or at least that's my solution.

Moving together in areas where is makes sense to the two parties rather across the whole body of legislation in the EEA.
Regulatory approximation, rather than accepting laws like they do in the EEA.

Breaking: MP who campaigned for a year to leave the EU and stay in the Single Market before saying we have to leave the Single Market "and it doesn't exist anyway", has resigned after complaining that the integrity he "holds very dear" had been questioned.
Owen Paterson, seen here complaining about the levels of pesticides set in water had recently been found guilty by the House of Commons Committee on standads.
Paterson claims it was vital to introduce the technology of the company that was paying him money to find substances which had levels "too low for other current testing technologies to detect".

This is a difficult situation for @JamilAnderlini. This is not in @POLITICOEurope, and editors are expected to back their staff, but equally, this is becoming damaging for Politico.

This isn't one day and a retraction, we are in day 2 and Alex is doubling down.
Politico are in danger of being part of the story now.

Is this going to lead to a ban on journalists associating themselves with their publication's brand on twitter in their profile?
