The week in Brexit

Thanks to @jonworth for these:

1. Davis talked about Czechoslovakia in Commons, while boasting he had good knowledge of the rest of Europe

2. Tory MP Chris Heaton Harris sparked controversy by writing to universities about Brexit

3. No one knows what’s happening with the 57 sector impact assessments on Brexit, except May hasn’t read them

4. But despite important people not having read them, the assessments won’t be published after FOI requests

5. DExEU lost another minister - Joyce Anelay stood down due to a helicopter injury

6. We also discovered that Cabinet has not actually discussed what future trade deal UK wants

7. Some Brexit hard line Tories want to circumvent May and talk to 🇪🇺 direct. Good luck with that

8. Then we had Boris blathering on about a 350 year old treaty to get Portugal to help the UK

9. And last but not least, the EU wants more negotiation rounds before December. But UK doesn’t

And all the while Britain gets closer to the 29th March 2019, when if no deals are done and those which are done are not ratified, Britain will crash out of the EU having to trade with everyone on WTO rules, and this week we found that not one country out of 161 countries actually does trade solely on WTO rules.

What could possibly go wrong?
