1/ A few clips from Wednesday's #DExEU select committee. Some fascinating insights provided from Chris Bondy, Dr Lorand Bartels and William Swords. Full session here: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/6f… @SamuelMarcLowe @Lorand_Bartels
2/ 'I've heard many people say, well it's (negotiating an FTA with the EU) going to be easy because we are harmonised, well that's day one but what about day two? What about day ten?' Christophe Bondy or either on the EU bus (or sidecar, Norway) or not at all! #DExEU
3/ 'If the UK come in and say we want that benefit (audio etc), the MFN element investment & services chapter of CETA will kick back in and you have to give it (the benefit) to Canada.' Christophe Bondy. Same point @SamuelMarcLowe made on the @BBCWorldatOne last week *I think*.
4/ 'With an FTA you have regulatory autonomy but you have borders...' Christophe Bondy. So using CETA as a possible template isn't going to work for the NI/IRE? Mind you I'm not sure the Norway option necessarily resolves this issue too.
5/ This is just so funny...I think the silence is very telling here. @SamuelMarcLowe @hhesterm @AllieRenison @IanaDreyer @StevePeers @Lorand_Bartels #DExEU
6/ And @Lorand_Bartels has a courageous crack at filling that long silence. Bravo sir... #DExEU

@SamuelMarcLowe 1/ Here's the interview in full, with @SamuelMarcLowe & Martin Howe QC. 'We already do the majority of our trade around the world on WTO terms...' Actually we do most of our trade through the EU (SM, EU-FTAs and MRAs with US/China/Aus). Am I correct @SamuelMarcLowe & @IanaDreyer?
@SamuelMarcLowe @IanaDreyer 2/ 'When I first read this report, that came out earlier today, I was amazed anyone serious whether a politician or QC, would want their name anywhere near it, because it's embarrassing.' @SamuelMarcLowe
@SamuelMarcLowe @IanaDreyer 3/ Yup it's all really simple...it's all about tariffs. Note not a word about Non Tariff Barriers from Martin Howe. Bet @CoppetainPU & @hhesterm would have something to say about this clip?

@RemainiacsCast @IanDunt @alexisconran @ayeshahazarika @AdamWagner1 @sturdyAlex @Nndroid 1/ A few clips from this week's @RemainiacsCast. 'The worst thing you can do, is shove it in someone's face and say, "Ha, you fell for it." The truth is that anyone can fall for it at the right time.' @alexisconran on the bait/switch psychology at play in the Brexit ref.
@RemainiacsCast @IanDunt @alexisconran @ayeshahazarika @AdamWagner1 @sturdyAlex @Nndroid 2/ 'Authoritarians hate institutions. They stop you from having a strongman – and that’s why they trash them.' @IanDunt
@RemainiacsCast @IanDunt @alexisconran @ayeshahazarika @AdamWagner1 @sturdyAlex @Nndroid 3/ 'Say anything with enough confidence & enough people will believe you. It doesn't matter what you're saying, but say it with authority & confidence and the people who want to believe you will.' @alexisconran on just one of the con techniques that intertwined the Brexit ref.

1/ A few clips from yesterday's DExEU SC with Philip Rycroft, Head of UK Gov Group & Permanent Sec, DExEU. @hilarybennmp : 'Is the govt making provisions for portaloos on the M20 in the event of long queues?'*After March 2019*
2/ Very moot question from @hilarybennmp about the govt's use of non disclosure agreements in preparation for Brexit.
3/ 'Is the witness able to tell us when he thinks a decision has to be made about a no-deal agreement?' Peter Bone. What follows is a master class of obfuscation & evasion.

1/ A few clips from DExEU SC (11/07/18). 'To try to have similar outcomes but without all of those standards & processes & institutions & co-operation networks, you are asking an enormous amount from the member states.' Michael Dougan on MRA/Equivalence re any future UK-EU TA.
2/ '...where you see more of the discussion on potential relocation of certain
jobs and offshoring on to the EU market from some of the American,
Japanese and Swiss banks. *who are based here b\c of the UK's access to the SM*' @AllieRenison
3/ This is a lovely explainer on how trade disputes between the UK and the EU are currently dealt with. @livuni_EULaw (Michael Dougan).
