was just toying with the idea of a #brexit edition of #pointless - to test how much the 100 people know about the EU.. then I watched an ancient #pointlesscelebrities with @OwenJones84
@OwenJones84 final round Owen and partner chsoe Europe - and faced a skilltester about capitals of EU countries who used the euro..they were good on capitals, less so on euro users
@OwenJones84 Warsaw ...wrong.. Budapest wrong.... but final answer was Vilnius.. its ages since I went to a Baltic state.. sat there and thought that can't be right but they and two other people knew it..
@OwenJones84 mind you - I did get Bratislava which was a pointless answer... but well done to Owen for taking part..

New @NAOorguk report on @DefraGovUK preparations for #brexit is complimentary on progress made nao.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
@NAOorguk @DefraGovUK but even though they are doing well it illustrates the scale of the task the dept faces - even with its extra 1300 people
@NAOorguk @DefraGovUK real risks around readiness for "no deal" on fisheries, on chemicals, on food exports ..... but most interesting part is the criticism of ability to engage with businesses

new @timd_IFG @ThimontJack @lewisalloyd report sets out how EU cooperation and law enforcement has evolved over the last 25 years instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publications/n…
it shows that we are big net exporters of alleged criminals to other EU member states
and are heavy users of EU databases - to which we may lose access

I have a rule never to tweet about football because its so inferior to tennis and cricket BUT........... intriguing football and #brexit story in today's @Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/…
@Telegraph So football wants an exemption from new migration regime for EU nationals.. I hope that special pleading is rejected.
@Telegraph ducks.... this will be an interesting real world example of the impact of #brexit. In the short run quality and value of premier league will (probably) go down

new @instituteforgov report sets out basic scenarios for the autumn.

key points. Defaults in the system are for no deal.
@instituteforgov that is because of article 50 and the EU withdrawal act. For something else to happen govt needs a deal with the EU AND a Parliamentary majority to agree it
@instituteforgov parliament can vote down a PM deal and send her back - but the EU would need to allow UK to renegotiate and Parliament would need to endorse a renegotiated deal

feelings for all the civil servants having to prepare multiple business readiness notices if @Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/… has it right
@Telegraph the EU has produced 67 notices.. might PM have glanced down at her briefing, seen that figure and said we're doing that too.. almost always cock-up rather than conspiracy
@Telegraph PM can't be wrong so Whitehall has to go to mass retrofit exercise..but the problem is one easily navigable website with all relevant information and ability to drill down would be better...

Wtaching #marrshow - here is @instituteforgov on what preparations for no deal need to look like instituteforgovernment.org.uk/blog/preparing…
@instituteforgov Andrew Marr is completely right that we don't know what would happen to UK citizens in EU -- what's the planning - one of the questions to answer
@instituteforgov this would all fall to a bunch of bilateral agreements....
