This positive view of the PM's 'great deal' not shared by John Longworth, who calls it 'toxic'. And he includes some interesting legal analysis. https://t.co/rqSmxn3EMi — PolitiTweet.org

‘We not only got a new deal from our EU partners, but we got a great deal. We are able to deliver all the advantages of leaving the EU: making our own laws, controlling our own borders, taking back our money, and exercising all kinds of new freedoms’. Boris Johnson, 5.11.19 — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

Of course, it is all the fault of Remainers, apparently. And the Germans who, after WWII, were 'given free money to regenerate and paid limited reparations for the most savage war it could wage'. On that theme, 'we are about to find out if Johnson is more Churchill or Halifax'. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

Extraordinary attack on PM's 'oven-ready' deal. '..shackling the country to a poison pill'. WA & PD 'remains to contaminate our opportunities'. The handle of the 'exit door from the EU... smeared with the EU diplomatic equivalent of Novichok'. https://t.co/40lVlthR0j — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

A very tough political test for the impressive Rishi Sunak. Needs to set out a plan that is seen as fair - the broadest bearing the greatest burden - but doesn’t drive away investment and wealth-creating individuals. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

Hard to see how cuts in public spending could bear much of the burden (although the pension triple lock should go). That leaves tax. Increases don’t need to be increased for a while. But the Chancellor should set out his plan in the autumn. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

The issue is not so much the short term, one off costs of Covid-19 but the need to ensure that debt as a percentage of GDP doesn’t keep growing post crisis. Can’t be certain what’ll be needed to stop that happening but a £40bn fiscal gap looks a reasonable estimate. — PolitiTweet.org

Why, eventually, taxes are going to have to rise. And the Chancellor will need to set out his plans in the Autumn Budget. https://t.co/6HZnr63BNV — PolitiTweet.org

Normally, the cost/benefit of any changes in VAT get passed on to the customer. Wouldn’t be surprised if that doesn’t happen with the VAT cut for hospitality (it’ll be interesting to see). But if it enables businesses to stay afloat, HMT will consider it a success. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

A VAT cut for hospitality might not increase demand much because of fear of going out/dislike of the restrictions. In which case, the cut won’t be passed on to customers but the higher mark up per customer might make some pubs/restaurants viable with fewer customers. — PolitiTweet.org
