@Iain2eyes1 @TimesRadio @patrickkmaguire @hugorifkind @MrAndyParsons It was the UK who threatened to blow up it's own economy with a No Deal Brexit not the EU/France

@TimesRadio @patrickkmaguire @hugorifkind @MrAndyParsons The irony of Ed Davey calling out Trump for threatening to ruin our economy if he doesn’t get his way. Isn’t that exactly what the EU and especially France have done since the British people voted to leave the EU in 2016?

“I think anybody who has shares in Wes Streeting may, after that PMQs, be a little bit worried about their future value.”
The Times’s @PatrickkMaguire says Keir Starmer’s performance at PMQs was possibly his strongest yet as prime minister.

@RonnyMac80 I enjoy Megaliths as it’s slowly revealed to Bragg that the archeological & historical record is actually pretty thin so the whole thing is leaps of interpretation.

A few random favourites: Margery Kempe & English Mysticism, Bird Migration, The Peasants Revolt, Megaliths.

@jimthegiant @MaxFRobespierre Ftw ANY govt can NOT say they are deliberately liquidating a privately held asset as they'll be on the hook for all it's liabilities. Labour are not following this so called reform strategy, they set the agenda, Reform are following them.

Farage is now talking about letting water companies go bankrupt and to nationalising them.
@UKLabour what is the end game here... if you wind up letting reform take your easy left wing populist points, you lot are done.
Give us an ACTUAL Left wing party ffs

@DrillPod @ThreshedThought @gavinesler Martin unfortunately let's himself down by maligning Healey at the end for not chairing a roundtable at Munich, he calls for unity of purpose but is blatant in his own partisan politics

@RaoulRuparel Surely Labour, for political reasons, will have to be seen to have explored every option available to them before any serious move can be made.
English
Feels like this is going to be a long and tedious negotiation. I suspect EU response will be - they're not necessary or unnecessary, it's just what the law says. And if the UK wants them to change then it can be in single market/customs union etc. Back to 2016 we go...

Here’s some good background to GPSR, a slow burn Irish Sea border issue which appears to have been largely unaddressed. yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/brexit/po…
Duncan Weldon@DuncanWeldon
4 emails in 48 hours from British SMEs saying they will no longer ship to the EU or Northern Ireland from mid December because of the new GPSR rules. (One benefit of a niche hobby is occasional forewarning of things hitting SMEs).

@ManufacturingNI @JP_Biz Care to comment if you think this is a good or a bad outcome? Should increased automation be the goal? Makes sense to me to drive efficiency, investment and profit.

One employer today (having reviewed the impact of the NIC changes) has an extra £650k to find. The reaction, planned (annual) % pay rise halved, recruitment stopped, move to automation accelerated.

@bbboatclub and I'm old enough to understand that US foreign policy plays second fiddle to domestic policy
English
I’m old enough to remember sections of the media portraying Hezbollah as “good guys” during the Syrian civil war. Same shit as the mujahideen in the 1980s
Dan Cohen@dancohen3000
Hezbollah spent the 2010s fighting US and Israeli-backed Al-Qaeda and Islamic state in Syria. Now it’s fighting genocidal Israel, which killed 274 Lebanese citizens only today. Meanwhile, our media will tell us Hezbollah are the terrorists. The professional liars invert reality to justify mass-murder and terrorism.

@MattChorley The night before Starmers conference speech in 2021 I put £10 on labour being the largest party at next GE at odds of 3-1, pretty happy about that now.

UUP MLA Mike Nesbitt takes aim at Jim Allister, who is searing in his criticism of the DUP ending its NI Protocol protest and returning to power-sharing.
The former UUP leader: "If Mr Allister's analysis is correct, why has he ended his boycott of this assembly?"
