The response from Europhiles, by contrast, was near-deranged. They simply refused to accept what had happened. Britain, apparently, must always and everywhere be in the wrong - or at least more wrong than the EU. (5/9)

Last week, the UK acceded to Ukrainian requests, to general delight in Kiev. British free-traders were delighted, too: imports are a prize, not a concession, and we enrich ourselves by enriching Ukraine. (4/9) ?s=20&t=HE46Vy_YajvKyDikX0VkoA

Since the Russian invasion, Kiev has been lobbying London and Brussels for the removal of the last tariffs and an easing of the more stringent border checks. This matters a lot, because Ukraine has lost its coastline. All its exports must now pass through EU territory. (3/9)

Background. In 2014, Ukraine and the EU (then of course including Britain) signed a deal eliminating most tariffs, but leaving some in place, especially in agri-foods. Britain inherited this deal on leaving. The remaining tariff schedules are here. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:22014A0529(01)&from=EN#page=178 (2/9)

Last week, the UK announced that it was eliminating all remaining tariffs and quotas on Ukrainian imports - something it was able to do because of Brexit. The reaction from Europhiles, and even some EU officials, has been telling - and not in a good way. A thread. 🧵 (1/9)

RT @tomhfh: Genuine question for those who think the PM lied to the House.
Why did No10 brief the fact of this cabinet room birthday event to The Times in June 2020?
If they believed it to be illegal why did they want it published in a newspaper? And why did no one care at the time?

We need to replace these arrangements lock, stock and barrel. The EU has no interest in making them work, and has refused even the most moderate and reasonable amendments. Time to scrap the deal and show in practice that no hard border was ever needed. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/04/11/northern-ireland-could-forced-follow-eu-rules-covid-tests/

Does self employment confer COVID immunity? Lots of teachers, civil servants and airport workers seem to have been taking time off work. Very few café owners, cab drivers or builders.

If this is true, there needs to be a response. Yes, it’s still an if. We need to verify. But a Russian chemical attack in Mariupol would represent an escalation to a new level of horror.

The Kremlin had set aside large sums to bribe Ukrainian civil and military leaders to switch sides at the key moment. But the money was embezzled by FSB chiefs. The episode goes a long way to explain why Russia is doing so badly.
