@TomMcTague I can see that. But the Government hasn’t explained how it wants to compete and how it wants to diverge. Probably because a radical compete/deregulate agenda is politically undeliverable. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
The Govt position is that it’s intolerable to enter into an agreement where there’s a possibility that, at some point in future, tariffs & quotas on EU trade will apply. So we’ll leave on WTO terms & tariffs & quotas on EU trade will apply immediately. And we’ll prosper mightily. — PolitiTweet.org

@iainmartin1 @SirJJQC But if the position is we have a choice - change our regulations to align with EU or have quotas/tariffs - that’s still a choice for UK politicians accountable to the British people. That might not be a great choice & we’d like a choice of ‘neither’ but maybe that’s not possible. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
@iainmartin1 @SirJJQC In this case, the benefit is zero tariffs/quotas. The cost? At some point in the future we may be in the position in certain circumstances where we are left with a choice between changing our regulations or losing that benefit. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
@iainmartin1 @SirJJQC The way the sovereignty argument is sometimes expressed, we could never enter into any international agreement. Surely the point is that any treaty is a transaction with costs & benefits. And a sovereign nation chooses whether or not to enter into the transaction. — PolitiTweet.org

@AndrewDLansley Yes, that is a fair distinction. My point was that some seem to deny that the offer of a Canada-style agreement always involved some LPF provisions. — PolitiTweet.org

And this is what was stated in the Political Declaration agreed by Boris Johnson in October 2019. The future relationship must encompass ‘robust commitments to ensure a level playing field’. https://t.co/AnHpmfSpYv — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
It is frequently stated or implied that the EU offered a ‘Canada-style FTA’ without Level Playing Field provisions and only subsequently insisted upon this. Not true. Here is what the EU said in March 2018. https://t.co/79QMGDXHSc — PolitiTweet.org

A further example is the willingness of Conservative MPs to vote to breach international law. To do otherwise results in being accused of undermining the UK’s negotiating position. But failing to oppose undermines the rule of law. — PolitiTweet.org

There was a particular responsibility on those who campaigned to Leave to explain the realities of what was achievable & the consequences of failure. That didn’t happen*. Now left with a choice between no deal or many leavers feeling betrayed. 3/3 *Except Michael Gove 2018/19. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
At the same time, those who want a deal - because they understand the consequences of no deal & the limits to what the EU will concede - are accused of undermining the UK’s negotiating position. At this point, hardly any Tory MPs are publicly making the case for a deal. 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
A longstanding characteristic of our EU negotiations is that Conservative MPs opposing compromise claim to be strengthening the PM’s hand with the EU. But by being so willing to cry betrayal they’ve made it impossible to find a deal acceptable to both the EU and Leave voters. 1/3 — PolitiTweet.org
