Even with the utterly irrational priority in the trade negotiations given to controlling our fishing waters (at the expense of far more important sectors), large parts of the UK fishing industry lose out from Brexit. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

By the time we got to spring 2019, the different groups in the Cabinet were just talking past each other. ‘Leaving without a deal will be an economic disaster.’ ‘Failing to leave the EU will be a political disaster for the Conservative Party.’ Both points true but... — PolitiTweet.org

This is spot on. Reminds me of interminable Cabinet meetings when some of us would point out that a no deal Brexit would be an economic disaster. Others would simply refuse to accept or even engage in the issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Very sad news about Dave Edwards - a lovely man. The switching on of the Christmas lights was always a great occasion and he played such an important role in the Croxley Green community. https://t.co/o9wMK2Z5wt — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

Does that mean that Boris Johnson is going to get a Brexit deal? I hope he does (a bad deal is better than no deal, to coin a phrase) but I don't know. But if he doesn't get a deal, the sackings of Cummings & Cain would look incoherent & unstrategic. /END — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

In other words, trying to present yourself as a moderate, liberal internationalist whilst aggressively blaming the EU for a disastrous outcome to the Brexit talks ends up pleasing no one. /8 — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

I'd welcome a strategy that was less combative - a return to a more conventional style of politics. But such a move would not be a coherent strategy if Boris Johnson also fails to agree a Brexit deal. In such circumstances, he'd need to adopt the old Vote Leave tactics. /7 — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

But if that was going to be his strategy - and if we're going through the turmoil of no deal I don't see what alternative he would have - wouldn't he want Cummings & Cain by his side? They're good at that sort of stuff. /6 — PolitiTweet.org
