Just a reminder: the European Parliament has so far commissioned from experts dozens of impact assessments or studies on #Brexit in 14 broad fields. They don't necessarily constitute the EP's official position but are all free & available here: europarl.europa.eu/unitedkingdom/… Thread 1/6
They include studies on the areas in which the European Parliament has set red lines for its approval of any Article 50 deal, such as #citizensrights europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes… & the effect of #Brexit on the #peaceprocess in Northern Ireland europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes… 2/6
The studies on #Brexit also cover other critical topics such as the internal market and #consumerprotection europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes… and #financialservices europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes… 3/6
The European Parliament also organizes regular Brexit hearings and discussions which you can watch online - @EPInstitutional committee have a workshop today at 3.30pm GMT on the implications of #Brexit for the #IrishBorder. Watch the #livestream: europarl.europa.eu/ep-live/en/com… 4/6
And the @EP_Environment Committee are holding a workshop on the impact of #Brexit on the #environment, #PublicHealth and #FoodSafety, LIVE now: europarl.europa.eu/ep-live/en/com… 5/6 @CharlieBEU @ginny_acha @AdinaValean
All these impact assessments support the work of the European Parliament. Under the terms of #Article50, the European Parliament must consent to any final UK-EU agreement: europarl.europa.eu/unitedkingdom/… 6/6 Ends. #Brexit #EPonBrexit

Roger Bootle of @telegraph is mistaken about the European Parliament. We explain why. Thread
The EP is directly elected by the people. Not every legislative body can say that. 1/
It is jointly responsible for passing nearly 90% of new EU law. See p.33 here: epgencms.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/upload… 2/

#Brexit Thread: a list of 20 random reasons why I voted to leave the EU

1. The impossibility of meaningful treaty reform. We cannot edit the supranationalist DNA of the EU
2. The exclusion of the public from decisions relating to further integration. See Treaty of Lisbon.
3. The way in which the EU will seek homogenisation and integration for its own sake and for that of EU ideology over practical necessity.

1/ Trying to follow what's going on in 🇪🇺 & #Brexit news feels like a full time job. And yet even against that backdrop, today feels pretty extraordinary. Some of the news has particular impact on me personally.
2/ First of all, this morning the proposed legal text on Brexit transition was released. So much for things not changing in transition - the text as it currently stands means 🇬🇧 👨‍💻 living in 🇪🇺 can no longer vote in the 2019 EP elections.
3/ A pretty major change, right from March 2019. 💥 goes my chance to vote for @janalbrecht @terryreintke et al as I did in 2014. 😡

1. Worst national leadership in my lifetime forcing through the most damaging, misguided & missold policy I can remember. Ideology & vested self interest replace statesmanship, soundbites replace sound judgement & autocracy subverts democracy.
#Brexit harms us irreparably #FBPE
2. A flawed Leave campaign based on lies, deceit, disingenuity & over simplification & a #Remain one fought w/o any positivity from the Govt & no real commitment from Labour, whose leader was virtually AWOL, did no justice to #Brexit complexity & betrayed our democratic process.
3. A mere 37% of voters/26.5% of the Ppl voted leave in a legally Non-Binding test of public opinion which has been corrupted, on the basis of an illegitimate political promise & interpreted as being the irrefutable Will of the Ppl.
The 1st is insufficient to claim the latter!

I’m a bit tired of this “UK citizens overseas sacrificed in Brexit negotiations” stories.

So I am going to try - as fairly as possible - to lay out what happened in last week’s deal, and what it means.

1/10
The type of story that annoys me is ones like this theguardian.com/politics/2017/… by @lisaocarroll in The Guardian.

2/10
A quote from The Guardian piece:
“One of the biggest fears of Britons in Europe is that they will remain “landlocked” in the country in which they now live, unable to move across borders to work for meetings, or for business contracts.”

This is not actually quite true.

1) Thread: #Brexit supporters -
40 minutes of your time

Brexit supporters out on Twitter, obviously many of us are now entrenched on either side, but perhaps, 40 minutes of your time will convince you that Brexit needs to be stopped.

Here goes:
2) firstly, take yourself back to this time. Boris Johnson in typical fashion selling an impossible consequence free #Brexit

No changes, no impacts, everything we wanted in a bespoke free trade agreement. This was the Vote Leave message.

telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/2…
3) no one from Vote Leave said it would be hard, or tricky, or drawn out.

Remember this from Farage in the European parliament
"No deal would be far worse for you than for us"

The EU would give us the deal we wanted, it was that simple
