1/ A few clips from #GMB's feature with @IanDunt & @tnewtondunn (14/09/18). 'If I was going on a 2 day trip from Russia, Salisbury maybe not the first place that you go to...' @IanDunt

@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?
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).
