Theresa is exactly right ⬇️. We all welcome the prospect of improvements but MPs need to see the text of a deal before we can reasonably comment further. There are key questions that will follow. 🧵 - What does this mean for the status of goods manufactured and food grown in Northern Ireland? Under whose rules will these be produced?
- What precisely is the role, if any, of the ECJ?
- Does this satisfy the leaders of Unionism in NI, and allow them to return to Stormont?

The demolition of the Redcar blast furnace is a major moment in the transformation of Teesworks, the former site of the SSI steelworks. This is becoming home to thousands of new jobs, largely in clean energy: offshore wind, hydrogen and carbon capture. It is undoubtedly a poignant day, where we salute the huge enterprise, hard work and ingenuity of everyone who worked at the steel plant. But it is also in the best spirit of Teesside that we renew and become world leaders in the technologies of tomorrow.

🧵A quick thread on supporting people with the cost of living:

1/4 Of course, the Government is working up a package of cost of living support that the next Prime Minister can consider when they take office. 2/4 It is absolutely right to consider these options in the round when the new Prime Minister has taken office - rather than announce new un-costed policies, without sight of all the details of the pressures people could face, during a leadership election.

A lot of project fear-style material on Twitter today. The idea that there isn’t scope for reducing the burden of tax through both a new spending review and by putting our Covid debt on a longer-term footing as it rolls over is transparently false. (1/n) The reality is that the true risk to our economy is stagnation (and indeed, stagflation). We cannot tax our way to prosperity and without greater willingness to support lower taxes and supply-side reform we won’t achieve the growth rates we need to increase the size of the cake.

Do you know, Bob, what I find really jarring is the way Remainers keep saying “we were lied to”, without ever stopping to think whether people were lied to *for years* about what European integration really meant in terms of immigration, wages or sovereignty (1/n) Moreover, how we were lied to when many of those same Remainers in Parliament promised to respect the result - both before and after people in the NE voted overwhelmingly to leave. And then did so *again* in the 2017 general election (2/)

It seems incredible to me we should be asked to *welcome* the prospect of being a non-voting member of the customs union, with the EU controlling our trade and customs policy. 1/ To be clear about how this would work: when the EU signed a trade agreement with a third country (eg China), in the backstop the U.K. would be compelled to make all the market concessions agreed by the EU BUT that third country would not need to extend its concessions to us. 2/
