(1/4) To see our importance to the EU simply walk down the street and look at the BMWs, Volkswagens, Audis and the like — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
(4/4)Our creative, financial & legal industries are some of the world’s best and would certainly be included in trade deals negotiated by us — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
(3/3) Does anyone seriously think Britain, the 5th largest economy in the World, wouldn’t be able to negotiate a better deal than the Swiss? — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
(2/3) Switzerland has a population of 8 million but is able to negotiate better trade deals for itself than the EU does on our behalf — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
(1/3)Much has been made on how hard it would be for a single country to negotiate successful trade deals on its own. But look at Switzerland — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
(2/2)However, we have received far less foreign investment than either Norway or Switzerland, both outside of the EU https://t.co/ToxX4kWw3U — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
(1/2) A further supposed benefit of EU membership is increased foreign direct investment in our economy — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Our membership of the single market has done remarkably little to increase trade between us and our European colleagues — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
It has long been claimed that membership of the EU increases trade among its members. That may be true for others, but not for Britain — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Safe course is for Britain to leave. With that in mind it is vital to set out how we leave, and what relationship we can expect afterwards — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
#Brexit is nothing to fear. To remain a member of the EU is to constrain our future, forgo control of our destiny & give up on opportunity — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
The renegotiation’s exemption from ‘ever closer union’ is not worth the paper it is written on. The ‘red card’ proposal? Even less — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
(3/3) Thirdly, the Government’s own policy of the National Living Wage will have the effect of abolishing in-work benefits — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
(2/3)Second problem is that majority of EU migrants (75%) are only eligible for very low levels of in-work benefits, if at all — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
(2/4)Few EU arrivals claim in-work benefits in first 4 years. In first year – 10%, jumping to around 20% by 4th year https://t.co/fTKWOmfmgU — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
(1/4) Take immigration – where the Government’s answer of an emergency brake will have no impact whatsoever. This is for 3 reasons. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Unfortunately, the Government has wasted the renegotiation opportunity with demands which are so unambitious as to be a waste of time — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
The Government has four strands to its once in a generation renegotiation: economic governance, competitiveness, sovereignty and immigration — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Then there is the Schengen Zone, which is now crumbling before our eyes. The migration crisis is a stake in the heart of a borderless Europe — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
The Euro is now a failed experiment, responsible for sovereign debt crises, high unemployment and trade imbalances across the EU — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
The Euro has become a destroyer of jobs. Unemployment across the continent is running near 10%, youth unemployment double that at 20% — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
By 2008 we had started to trade more with the rest of the World than with Europe. The fact is, Europe is becoming less and less important — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Economic growth in the EU has ground to a halt. Since 2000 the EU has grown at 1/3 the rate of global average. The Eurozone? Even slower. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Last time EU expanded, less than 10 years ago, hope was Europe would become ‘wider, not deeper’. With hindsight, this now looks ridiculous — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
The EU has been in decline for some time now. The risks of staying in? Low growth, high unemployment and waning influence — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
It’s been over 43 years since Britain joined the EEC. Since then? Europe has become less democratic, less competitive and more dysfunctional — PolitiTweet.org

Later this morning I will deliver my speech on #Brexit and what it would look like. My account will be live tweeting the event from 11am. — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow I will deliver my speech on #Brexit and what it would look like. I will also be live tweeting the event from 11am. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
(3/3) Large companies should not be able to negotiate lower tax because they bring jobs to the UK – corner shops could not negotiate that — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
(2/3) The required change to tax law is simple – “money earned in the UK should be taxed in the UK”, regardless of where headquarters are — PolitiTweet.org
