This by @Gilesyb is very good on why a robust CBA for different pandemic responses is so difficult. In contrast, understanding the consequences of trade barriers is something about which economists have a good understanding. https://t.co/tWjYChYwyG — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

There's a correlation between those who think 1) it's possible to come up with robust analyses of how an economy responds to an unprecedented pandemic under different Govt policies but 2) are happy to dismiss economic analyses of the impact of imposing trade barriers with the EU. — PolitiTweet.org

All the talk about fish being the only real issue is shrewd political positioning by the UK Government (the British public will be sympathetic to their position on fish) but it isn't true. As those closest to the negotiations are saying, the problem remains the LPF provisions. — PolitiTweet.org

As the OBR has told us, economic pain caused by a hard Brexit is inevitable. A deal which goes some way to mitigate this pain is not. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

Tory MPs are seeking a cost benefit analysis of COVID restrictions but seem unengaged with Brexit risks. The Chancellor didn't want to confront the nation with Brexit costs. To get a deal, the PM will have to accept some inconvenient truths, confront his base & act decisively. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

My piece for the @FT on the OBR's assessment of the economic impact of Brexit. Even with a deal, it will be a hard Brexit & make the economy 4% smaller. Without a deal, a further 2% lost. Much worse than the permanent cost of COVID (3% according to OBR). https://t.co/RUqdrffD5G — PolitiTweet.org

Good thread on how the politics of Brexit and COVID restrictions may be connected in the days ahead. In short, the row over tiers makes it harder for the Prime Minister to compromise over Brexit. — PolitiTweet.org
