@PhillipsPOBrien On this particular point, I am not optimistic that any leadership election campaign would confront the economic realities. — PolitiTweet.org

@anandMenon1 @patricklohlein @iainmartin1 For some, any move towards a closer relationship with the EU (sacrificing ‘autonomy’ for market access) threatens Brexit, regardless of costs or benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

@iainmartin1 I really don’t think that fundamentally changed our approach to intervention. What about Kosovo? Big foreign affairs issues determined by UK government (inside or outside EU). — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

@iainmartin1 I just don’t see that. During the period of time we were EU members, our judgement on big geopolitical issues (for good or ill) was never determined by ‘EU horsetrading’. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

@iainmartin1 Don’t think it made any difference on Ukraine. If we’d been fully in the EU over vaccines & had influence, member states would’ve had more control (which would’ve made no difference to us but helped member states). The loss of 4% of GDP is really hurting us, however. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

Brexit will only be ‘safe’ (in terms of no one questioning our current relationship with the EU) if it is a demonstrably good idea. Which, on the evidence so far, it isn’t. — PolitiTweet.org

Tobias is right. Extraordinary that this point has become almost unsayable. — PolitiTweet.org

Robert is right to make this point. People can argue that 2nd home owners shouldn’t get support twice (I’d agree) but how else can you provide universal support? It’s not an ideological choice it’s a choice based on practicalities. — PolitiTweet.org
