There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

People's Vote briefing:
A leaked letter from Theresa May to the DUP leadership has given away the game. Britain will sign up to a “backstop to the backstop”, which would leave Northern Ireland tied to single market rules and the customs union, and put a new customs border down the middle of the Irish Sea.

May hopes to sell this deal by saying it’s not really important. It will “never be … the preferred outcome”. It’s an “insurance policy that no one in the UK or the EU wants or expects to use”. She “could not accept there being any circumstances or conditions in which that… could come into force”. And besides, if it did we’d make sure regulations did not “diverge between Great Britain and Northern Ireland during a backstop scenario”.

In short, May is hoping that her usual tactic of procrastinating and obfuscating will allow her to avoid making difficult choices today. Sure, we’ll sign up to the backstop, but it’ll never come into force because of the amazing but still unspecified deal we’ll negotiate once we’ve got this withdrawal agreement sorted.

The small problem with this is that while the DUP may be many things, they are not total idiots. And anyone looking at this shambles of a negotiation must be wondering how on earth they could be expected to believe May’s assurances.

https://www.peoples-vote.uk/write_this_wrong?e=7258668eab9c2d9ccad238fc304d70d7&utm_source=in&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=09_nov_2018&n=7

After all, in February May said that “no UK prime minister could ever agree” to a plan of this sort. To date, she hasn’t successfully negotiated an opening bid with her own cabinet. And there is a good chance that she won’t be able to get whatever emerges from Tuesday’s meeting through Parliament, with hardline Brexiter Steve Baker insisting that no matter the status of the backstop, if the deal isn’t value for money then Brexiters won’t vote for it.

The second block to getting this deal through the Commons is that the DUP - as things stand - are unlikely to vote for it, with Arlene Foster saying the letter “raises alarm bells for those who value the integrity of our precious Union and for those who want a proper Brexit for the whole of the UK”. And May needs those votes for her deal to pass.

The thing is, turkeys are more likely to vote for Christmas than unionists to vote for division. And unlike their English counterparts in the Conservative and Unionist Party, the DUP do seem intent on living up to their name.
Quote of the Day


“To say ‘because I’ve been incompetent in the negotiation so far I’m going to have to agree to a final backstop that could undermine the integrity of the UK’, but go on to say, ‘trust me because I’ll be more competent in my future negotiation than I have in the ones to date’, is a line that lacks credibility.”

Jacob Rees-Mogg delicately suggests that May’s promises on the backstop may not be up to scratch.

Raab’s geography lesson

Brexit secretary Dominic Raab has belatedly realised that there’s something a bit different about Britain’s geography - something that sets us apart from the rest of the continent. There is a sharp dividing line which makes walking from Calais to Dover somewhat tricky for those of a less than Messianic bent. In short, he’s realised that we’re on an island, and that our Brexit strategy for the port of Dover might need to take account of this.

Speaking on Wednesday, Raab said he “hadn’t quite understood the full extent of this, but if you look at the UK and if you look at how we trade in goods, we are particularly reliant on the Dover-Calais crossing”.

Fishy business

One way out of the backstop impasse for Theresa May would be to agree a temporary all-UK deal. The Telegraph reports senior EU diplomats saying that any such plan would need to come with “cast-iron guarantees” that EU boats could continue to fish in British waters for the duration. This is completely contrary to May’s promise last month that “we will be an independent coastal state” after Brexit. It is therefore almost certain to happen.

People's Vote briefing:
The sheer scale of the misery that Theresa May’s Brexit plan will bring to this country is becoming acutely apparent to all. The prime minister’s proposals - which could yet see more concessions to the EU - are under fire from hardcore Brexiters and patriotic pro-Europeans alike.

The current state of play can perhaps best be summed up as a tale of two Johnsons. First, the decision by moderate pro-European Jo Johnson to quit his role as transport minister on Friday, saying the prime minister was presenting a choice between “vassalage” and “chaos”, and that it would be a “democratic travesty” to not have a public vote on whatever outcome emerged. And then his bombastic brother Boris, desperate to grab back the limelight as a shouty Brexiter, calling for a Cabinet “mutiny” in today’s Telegraph.

But even between these two wings of her party, May’s inner team of cabinet ministers also seem in open revolt. An emergency Cabinet meeting to “approve the deal” pencilled in for today has been cancelled amidst ministerial opposition to May’s proposals. Brexiters Dominic Raab, Andrea Leadsom and Esther McVey are all the focus of speculation about who might quit next, alongside four moderate pro-European ministers, according to the Sunday Times. For her part, Leadsom denied the gossip yesterday saying she was “sticking in government” to work for a good deal.

But the latest template for the UK-EU withdrawal agreement, revealed in a note leaked to BuzzFeed, won’t please anyone. The current three-part model for an Irish “backstop” - the insurance policy to make sure Northern Ireland’s frontier with the Republic remains open after Brexit - could still see a regulatory border in the Irish Sea, as well as the UK following many EU rules without a say for years after Brexit. There is a proposed mechanism to review the backstop in July 2020, but the EU wants that decision to rest ultimately with the European Court of Justice. And EU officials are also expected to push for continued access to UK fishing waters throughout the transition.

The DUP, who prop up May’s minority government, are fuming. Meanwhile Scottish Conservative MPs won’t be happy with the regulatory split with Northern Ireland, because it increases the chances of a new Scottish independence bid, or the fishing factor - which will frustrate many of their coastal constituents.

In short, May is in a mess. And the longer this impasse goes on the more damage it will do to the country (read more below). Thankfully more and more influential figures are coming round to Jo Johnson’s way of thinking, that the most democratic solution is to have a People’s Vote now we know what Brexit will actually entail.
Quote of the Day


“To those who say that is an affront to democracy given the 2016 result, I ask this. Is it more democratic to rely on a three year old vote based on what an idealised Brexit might offer, or to have a vote based on what we know it does actually entail?”

Jo Johnson, writing in the Spectator on Friday

Where does Labour leadership stand on People’s Vote?

Some rather stark differences of Brexit opinion also appear to be bubbling to the surface in the Labour party. On the Andrew Marr Show yesterday, shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry said her party “would campaign for a People’s Vote” after exhausting other possible options, such as a new general election. That’s at odds with Jeremy Corbyn’s response in a recent interview that he could “not really” see himself agreeing to a public vote, insisting the focus must now be on the future after Brexit. That puts him at odds with the overwhelming majority of his MPs, party members and potential voters. In fact, recent polling suggests that even in those 259 Labour seats that voted Leave in 2016, a majority of voters in each one wants a final say on Brexit. A People’s Vote is therefore not just logical and democratic, but it could a boost to Corbyn’s party in future elections.

WATCH: Emily Thornberry confirms that Labour would campaign for a People’s Vote on Brexit if it fails to secure a general election. This comes after Keir Starmer warned May that Labour cannot be bullied into supporting her botched Brexit deal.

Spanish PM in ‘no doubt’ on Brexit vote

The Spanish prime minister has become the most prominent European leader to back giving the UK public a vote on Brexit. Pedro Sanchez said he had “no doubt” Theresa May should call a public vote. He joins Maltese prime minister Joseph Muscat and Czech prime minister Andrej Babis, who have previously spoken in favour of the idea. The support of EU leaders for a People’s Vote is crucial, because the time taken to get a vote in place will now take us beyond the Brexit deadline of March 29. That means we need an extension to Article 50, which can only be agreed by all 27 other EU leaders. Fortunately, as Sanchez’s comments show, this idea is starting to get a wider welcome on the continent.

Years of May’s uncertainty will drain economy

Brexit uncertainty is deeply damaging the UK economy - and we haven’t even left yet. Business uncertainty has seen productivity halved, according to new research by economists and Stanford and Nottingham universities. Meanwhile employers are struggling to fill vacancies as foreign workers both from EU and non-EU countries are put off coming to the UK, according to a survey by HR body the CIPD.

The thing is, the manner in which Theresa May wants us to leave would mean more uncertainty for years to come as we try to agree a complex future relationship with the EU, with businesses forced to plan for an unknown future and all the while risking the talks breaking down and crashing out into no-deal chaos after all.

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

Turkish government are refusing to tell the EU how €1 billion they were given for refugees has been spent.

European Court of Auditors call it a “serious situation”.

Number of EU workers down by 132,000.

Wage growth at fastest pace since 2008.

Record number of job vacancies.

Forget doomsday forecasts, this is what’s actually happening. Cut migration, boost wages.

A fall in the number of EU migrants working in Britain of 132,000 has coincided with wages growing at their fastest rate since 2008.

As access to cheap foreign labour reduces, workers in Britain are getting a pay rise. Not before time!
