All a game and one the British government has played very well for many years

Truth is the Commission couldn't apply EU law beyond its borders without CJEU as the ultimate authority, even if it wanted to, because when it has tried in the past the court has nixed the treaty. Lots of precedents, but always cases of neighbours that have sought integration

The Dover problem: UK will seek "equivalence provisions" with the EU's SPS regime to reduce checks at the border. pic.twitter.com/BwbPdInH71

UK's WMS. A real gulf on level playing field. And yet much on the same page on form, content and expectations. Nothing like the almost existential differences that plagued May/Juncker negotiations: on what to do in two years, NI, Chequers and so on. parliament.uk/business/publi…

"Exactly the same regulatory frameworks at the point of exit." This, apparently, is not "alignment". pic.twitter.com/bXojLWEQPT

... in exchange for nothing by way market access. e.g. UK is already obliged to protect EU citizens' pre-Brexit data in line with EU law, but doesn't necessarily get continued data flows via an adequacy decision. Lots of bathwater and no baby.

The problem for UKis so many sticking points are already swallowed by the UK under the WA: UK-wide state aid; CJEU (Northern Ireland, citizens rights (8 years), financial settlement (c50 years)); GDPR for deposited data; safeguard measures. Positions pretty well overrun...

I'm a contrarian but I don't buy the argument that fisheries being linked to other areas is necessarily against the UK's interests, unless you think it shouldn't be used as a bargaining chip at all, which would be a bit self-defeating

PM says UK has seen just four adverse state aid decisions in recent decades, compared to dozens each for France, Germany and Italy. "Who's undercutting?" he asks.

the PM sticks to the Liam Fox rule of citing Adam Smith and David Ricardo, and only Adam Smith and David Ricardo, in a speech on trade.

From the EU mandate: specific LPF provisions for aviation in addition to the general provisions of the agreement (because the sector is highly competitive, sensitive to distortions and by definition cross border). Not a freebie... pic.twitter.com/ZQbepiAMBi

A plan for the UK to reject LPF in state aid, competition, labour law but walk away with an “Australian” aviation agreement might not stack up. EU’s position has always been they are strictly linked, inc under the no deal contingency plan. pic.twitter.com/0T7eMn1AQj

*or rather, disappearance as a 'hub' for purpose of legal footprint in the EU, not real-world activity

The idea Brexit will compel some to increase their UK footprint is pretty baked in (for reasons of regulatory barriers as well as tariffs) as we set out here: mlexmarketinsight.com/insights-cente…
Q is: does it compensate for UK's disappearance as an EU hub; what's the hit to competition twitter.com/faisalislam/st…

The Brexit fashion for all things Australian is fascinating, and much deeper than sunshine, Five Eyes and Canzuk; but once the major emigration destination for Brits of a certain age, driven by the same malaise that would push Britain into the EEC. twitter.com/georgewparker/…

Indeed my memory is the telegraph quite wisely didn’t endorse until four days before the vote, and happily ran interventions from both sides, inc Obama. Readership in a different place back then

It is almost as if after 10 months of binary debate about Yes/No ECJ, some sort of satisfactory hybrid will be struck upon at the eleventh hour
