Tomorrow is not just about whether a ‘Johnson’ deal gets over the line. It’s about the political future of our nation. We have to defeat him so that our values of internationalism, peace & human rights can win. — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

You only have to look at how Boris Johnson has treated the DUP to tell he cannot be trusted. He will turn his back on anyone to suit his own personal ambition. That is why Labour and the trade union movement can’t support his deal tomorrow. https://t.co/tLNe06DbVm — PolitiTweet.org

If anyone has any doubts about where Boris Johnson’s proposals take us, this lays bare that the end destination is a damaging right-wing project, which will rip apart our relationship with the EU and replace it with a US-style economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

Labour cannot support this deal. If Boris Johnson has confidence in his deal, he should put it back to the people in a public vote against remain - and that is an argument we will be making on Saturday. 10/ — PolitiTweet.org

Labour will not support a flawed Brexit deal that harms jobs, rights and living standards. This deal will unquestionably do that. 9/ — PolitiTweet.org

Instead, the level playing field provisions only last until the end of transition with a warning shot from the EU about the impact this will have on (reduced) access to EU markets. 8/ — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

The level playing field commitments are significantly weaker: no longer building on the measures in the old Withdrawal Agreement, which provided for dynamic alignment in certain areas. 7/ — PolitiTweet.org

On services, the PD offers nothing beyond the weak provisions in the Theresa May deal. Nor has there been any progress on the question of agencies and our future security relationship. 6/ — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

This inevitably means there will be new trade barriers with the EU and additional checks at borders. The PD is explicit about this. And the Johnson deal makes it easier for a Tory Government to cut rights and standards. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

Rather than strengthening the Political Declaration (PD) along the lines Labour argued, the political direction of travel under Johnson is to a distant economic relationship with the EU. It rules out a new Customs Union and a close future relationship with the Single Market. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

Having reviewed what has been agreed, it is clear that the Johnson deal is a far worse deal than Theresa May’s deal. It paves the way for a decade of deregulation. It gives Johnson licence to slash workers’ rights, environmental standards and consumer protections. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

Labour’s concerns with Theresa May’s deal were not principally about the backstop. They were about the Political Declaration and our future relationship with the EU after Brexit. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Excuse the long thread, but I have looked carefully at the #BrexitDeal negotiated by Boris Johnson. Here is my analysis: 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Whether Johnson gets a deal or not, we’re heading for a deregulated economy with him; losing vital rights and protections. Only Labour will give the British people the final say on Brexit and the chance to fight for remain. My speech at #CoopConf19 https://t.co/hVeNsx0gfZ — PolitiTweet.org
