Great read - fascinating reminder of the 1950s debate on „customs union vs FTA“ pitching UK against EEC6. And I’d forgotten how eloquently Cockfield‘s White Paper of 1985 explained how elimination of physical controls at borders required elimination of techn. + fiscal barriers.

Labour did badly because it alienated Remainers. Leavers have already left.
But only thing worse than bad results is bad interpretations. If MPs take this as a sign Lab must harden, it’s game over for Remain - and for the party. Me on dangerous days ahead prospectmagazine.co.uk/polit…

So senior Tory MP tells me there was "lots of applause" from PM's colleagues when @theresa_may said she would go early, if they support her Brexit deal. "A Faustian pact" says my source #FaustianPact

Vote Leave bang to rights for breaking electoral law. The BBC's top line is, incredibly, the bleating complaints of Vote Leave's chief executive. This is an epic dereliction of journalistic duty. 'Balancing' an independent regulator's findings with the obfuscations of the guilty.

When looking at excellent Buzzfeed scoop on GDP drop from Brexit scenarios, watch for the headline figures to be converted into a drop in tax revenue from every scenario, and consequent impact on public spending and/or deficit. You can argue with projections: but valid to ask q – at Lewisham, London

.@MichelBarnier : "no possibility" of a UK-EU trade being concluded by #Brexit in March 2019. This is not news, even to @DavidDavisMP
So what can UK realistically get next year?
And does that tell us about UK strategy?
