@benhabib6 No ambiguity there. Noted! — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

Quite a few Brexiteers argue that there is nothing to fear from ending the Brexit transition period without a deal. Presumably, they won't be the ones furious with the EU if we end up without a deal. If there's nothing to fear, there's nothing to be upset about. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

This just makes it harder to get a deal. Undermines trust in the UK’s good faith plus the EU won’t want to be seen to reward bad behaviour. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

Well worth reading the whole thread. Depending what’s in the Taxation Bill, this could be a real problem. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

Bonus payments are taxed. If the employer wants the employee to receive an amount equal to the nominal bonus, the employer has to gross up the payment. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

If a deal hasn’t been reached before the Taxation Bill is published & if it contains provisions in breach of the NI Protocol, hard to see how this won’t effectively end negotiations. EU won’t want to be seen as caving in to international lawbreaking. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

@Sime0nStylites @nealerichmond Very high risk. Publishing a Bill that walks away from previous commitments would be an act of bad faith and makes it very difficult for the EU to make any further concessions - it would look like caving in to lawbreaking. — PolitiTweet.org

@BrexitStewart All well, thanks. He’s stepped from life as a social media celebrity for the moment. Hope all well with you & yours. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

@BrexitStewart The OBR clear that Brexit will have a big negative impact on the economy (& no deal even worse). And on COVID, I accept that one can measure the impact of restrictions vs BAU but the counter factual is not BAU. Hard to assess the counter factual robustly. Inherently speculative. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

@DavidHenigUK Completely agree. The deal to be done is the deal that has been there to be done for a while. It's pretty thin, will still involve disruption at the border in January but will involve the UK making concessions that sit uncomfortably with the 'independent & sovereign' rhetoric. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

@nealerichmond If they really are going to publish a Bill which is incompatible with the Northern Ireland Protocol next week (terminal for the negotiations, I fear), there might not be a time window at all. It would need Boris Johnson to take on his backbenchers twice in a week. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

The window for Boris Johnson getting a Brexit deal appears to be AFTER his backbenchers calm down over Covid restrictions & BEFORE the publication of the Taxation Bill (which will be seen by the EU as reneging on the Northern Ireland Protocol & an act of bad faith). That's tight. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

@BrexitStewart There's real time or recent empirical data for the counter-factual to ongoing restrictions? And are you saying you don't believe the OBR's assessment of the economic impact of Brexit (with or without a deal)? — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

This is right. There are inevitably going to boundaries and that results in anomalies (don't even mention VAT). But we all know what is the objective of the rules & most people share that objective. Pointing out anomalies might be fun but it's not that clever. — PolitiTweet.org
