It would be lovely to have a normal Christmas. But if Christmas 2020 turns into a super spreader event just weeks before we have a vaccine in place, all future Christmases will be tinged with sadness, loss and guilt for too many families. https://t.co/PBZip3kzVr — PolitiTweet.org

Why Cummings’ departure makes Boris’s Brexit choice harder; politicians on both sides of the Atlantic keeping their heads down; jobs being a cost not a benefit; the return of the importance of the public finances; and how we could ruin future Christmases. https://t.co/PBZip3kzVr — PolitiTweet.org

Don't know if there is any read across to other tricky decisions where the Prime Minister has prevaricated but will find he has to reach a conclusion (one way or another) in the next few days. — PolitiTweet.org

The report on Priti Patel has been sitting on the PM's desk since July. Had he sacked her this week (after it was leaked to the press), he'd have had a problem explaining why he hadn't acted sooner. By prevaricating over a tricky decision, a decision was made almost by default. — PolitiTweet.org

Negotiating a trade agreement & preparing for the end of the transition period in just a few months in the middle of a pandemic was always going to be difficult. So it's proven. This was obvious to everyone earlier this year when the UK could've extended the transition period. — PolitiTweet.org

Government should spend money to meet a policy objective, such a strengthening defence capability or reducing carbon emissions. Some jobs may be created as a consequence but, in terms of meeting such an objective, these are a cost not a benefit. — PolitiTweet.org

Putting aside the merits of more defence spending (or ambitious environmental policies), spending taxpayers’ money to ‘create jobs’ is usually either very expensive or ineffective. ‘It’ll create jobs’ is rarely a good justification in itself for public spending. — PolitiTweet.org

Some UK politicians genuinely believe that no deal will be acceptable. It’s possible if unlikely that some US politicians believe that their election was rigged against Trump. But many don’t believe these things yet keep quiet because they fear their supporters who do. — PolitiTweet.org

I think the US case is more straightforward. But it's still the case that there are senior Ministers who have concluded that we need a deal but also seem to have concluded that they want to keep their head down. — PolitiTweet.org

Dilemmas facing senior centre right politicians in the US & UK. Do you distance yourself from Trump & accept the election result? Do you push for a deal with the EU? You know what's in the national interest but you're wary of the reaction of your party's base. What do you do? — PolitiTweet.org
