@Guy_Stallard @Sime0nStylites Yes it would have been explained and communicated. And yes, I can believe that the PM didn’t really worry about it, confident that such quibbles could be sorted out in due course. — PolitiTweet.org

‘According to sources closely involved throughout that period, nothing was hidden, and Boris Johnson and his team were fully cognisant of all the state aid implications (and, indeed, the details around tariffs and exit summary declarations).’ https://t.co/MluafavUiT — PolitiTweet.org

@Sime0nStylites @t0nyyates Often forgotten but the whip was removed for voting to take over the order paper not voting for the Benn-Burt Act. Taking over the order paper was seen as being what crossed the line and is not necessary now. (Of course, the Govt could change the rules but that’s not their...Oh.) — PolitiTweet.org

@t0nyyates As will those who protect this country’s reputation by stopping us breaching international law! (And they won’t lose the whip.) — PolitiTweet.org

It was claimed that there were many examples of the UK using domestic legislation to override international treaties. This was the only example given and yet it doesn’t provide any kind of precedent. — PolitiTweet.org

Are Ministers suggesting that the Prime Minister agreed to a Treaty that put the Northern Ireland peace process at risk? And then fought a General Election promising to implement such a Treaty? — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

This is a very good but very depressing thread. Not sure I agree, however, that this will hit the Conservatives’ polling (at least, in the short term). Quite a lot of people might see this approach as bravely defending UK interests not as incompetence (though they’d be wrong). — PolitiTweet.org
