Powerful analysis from leading international lawyer @philippesands: any attempt by govt to rely on Article 62 Vienna Convention to break Brexit deadlock would be “entirely without merit”. https://t.co/jDF2qHGQXD — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

Exactly. — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

.@JeremyCorbyn right to be supportive of the @PeterKyle and @MPphilwilson proposal. As I said in Parliament last week, we must support the lock of a public vote to prevent a damaging Tory Brexit or no deal being imposed on our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Great to be with such uplifting @CamdenLabour friends & colleagues tonight for @CantelowesLab fundraising dinner. Thanks for all your fantastic support. — PolitiTweet.org

This evening the Brexit Secretary voted against his Government’s own motion on Brexit, which earlier in the day he had defended in the House of Commons. That’s the equivalent of the Chancellor voting against his own Budget. This is a Government that has lost complete control. — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

The implication in the Prime Minister’s motion for tomorrow that she intends to put her twice failed deal to a third vote in the next two weeks exposes the reason she keeps losing. Blinkered intransigence. — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

Labour said for two years that no deal should never be an option. Extraordinary that the Government voted to keep it alive. Parliament knew better and has overruled the Prime Minister. She must accept that result and let MPs decide what happens next. https://t.co/2dXH2nBBXK — PolitiTweet.org

Attorney General confirms that there have been no significant changes to the Withdrawal Agreement despite the legal documents that were agreed last night. The Government’s strategy is now in tatters. https://t.co/xBKJPy5WbL — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

Turning the content of the 14 January letter from Donald Tusk and Jean Claude Juncker into a joint interpretative declaration does not change that. Nor in my view does anything else agreed last night. 6/ — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

However, the Withdrawal Agreement does not include a mechanism for unilateral exit from – or termination of – the backstop (or any other part of the Agreement) even where bad faith is made out. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

Under Article 178 of the Withdrawal Agreement, if either side is found to have acted in breach of the good faith/best endeavours obligation, the strongest remedy is “temporary suspension” of parts of the Agreement to force the other side back to the negotiating table. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

In that advice, the Attorney General said that under international law the backstop “would endure indefinitely until a superseding agreement takes its place in whole or in part.” 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

Having studied the documents, I would be surprised if they are sufficient to enable the Attorney General to change the central plank of his December legal advice. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org
