This is basically just a statement of what we know about #NoDealBrexit. Only in the last two paragraphs so we get anything about Labour’s vision. /1 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
And despite the criticism of the Tory approach, there is precious little new or inspiring of confidence here. /2
What are UK-EU “common institutions” and why should the EU have the expense and bother of these just to satisfy a leaving state? /3
And of course free movement of workers is absent. Which means that Labour here is not really offering something different, and possibly something just as unpalatable and unworkable to the EU. /END

UK govt claims it wants an EU "deal", with a few weeks left. So, the Foreign Sec compares the EU to a Soviet prison, dashing hopes that the insults of his predecessor will now be replaced by moderation and alienating EU members UK badly needs on side. /1 theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/o…
Today, the Prime Minister doubles down by trying to focus attention on the new post-Brexit migration policy. In doing so, she proudly announces on #r4today that free movement will end. This alone is being blind to the fact that it means no more movt for Brits (if they care?) /2
Insisting on the end of FOM also says to the EU explicitly that their citizens will no longer be able to come to the UK because the UK wants 'high skilled only'. Ergo, EU workers are low-skilled and therefore undesirable. /3

Following the sending of the Article 50 revocation case from the Court of Session in Scotland to the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU or ECJ) in Luxembourg, there seems to be some confusion over what the Court is and does. So a reminder of the law on this would be worthwhile. /1
First, the 'law' here means the Treaties (Treaty on European Union (TEU) and Treaty on the Functioning on the EU (TFEU)). These are the highest source of EU law and the signatories are the Member States. So, if something is in the Treaties, the MS must want it there. /2
The Court is an institution of the EU (Article 13 TEU) and, like other institutions (Commission, Parliament, Council) must act within its powers. Its main role is to "ensure that in the interpretation and application of the Treaties the law is observed." (Article 19(1) TEU). /3

Absolutely right that @UniversitiesUK and @UUKIntl should put pressure on govt to change visa requirements for overseas students. For the last 15 years my academic role has included recruiting students from overseas. Here are a few of my thoughts. /1 bbc.co.uk/news/education…
Most of the attention in this debate is the money that overseas students inject into the national, and local, economies. That is only part of the story. UK Universities have a proud tradition of being international - it is not just about the money. /2
Being international exposes UK students (and staff) to different ways of thinking. All of which are increasing required in a global working environment (even if you never leave home). /3

Imagine for a moment that you are trying to explain UK politics and Brexit to a visitor who has no experience of either. /1
First, you have a referendum which was promised by a party who won an election. Fine. But there is no planning for one outcome of the election, despite the same government having had a recent close call with another referendum (Indyref) showing how close they can be. /2
One campaign is led by a man who decides at the last minute that he will support this side, having previously identified (and done speeches, TV programmes and books to prove it) for the other side. /3

Barnier speaks a lot of sense here, and it gets to the heart of the oft-heard argument in the UK of "we want trade but nothing else". /1 theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
For those making the "trade and nothing else argument", trade is generally understood to mean trade in goods. Which is paradoxical, given the importance of services for the UK economy. /2
Anyone who knows anything about the single market is fully aware that attachment to the four freedoms (goods, services, capital, people) is not just because it is hard-wired into the DNA and identity of the European Union but also because of the inseparable links between them. /3

What does #NoDealBrexit mean for #Erasmus? We already knew that the UK govt was going to fund successful bids before 2020 and has encouraged UK institutions to apply. But there are still things to note in the technical notice on Erasmus /1 gov.uk/government/pub…
Erasmus is fundamentally about mobility, there is a big question mark over the conditions of how people move UK-EU and EU-UK. The notice says: "The govt will need to reach agreement with the EU for UK organisations to continue participating in Erasmus+" /2
Which does not make sense: if there is no deal, then how can there be discussions about an "agreement"? It continues with "the government will engage with member states and key institutions to seek to ensure UK participants can continue" - but how? Bilateral agreements? /3
