  Good twitter thread by David Henig about trade deals: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/10984­89268627009536.html

  It's tough to read because he raises SO MANY important questions that appear not to have been addressed by the government and we can assume the answers to most of these will conclude that Brexit is going to be very damaging.

  How many cars does the UK export?

  "1.7 million cars built in the UK in 2016, an increase of 8.5% and the highest output for 17 years. Exports at record levels for second consecutive year as more than 1.35 million cars shipped worldwide. More than one in two cars exported to Europe, our single biggest trading partner, with demand up 7.5%." 26 Jan 2017, https://www.smmt.co.uk/2017/01/17-year-h­igh-british-car-manufacturing-global-dem­and-hits-record-levels/

  Note: "Growth driven by multi billion pound investments in previous years – not post Brexit bounce."

  That the Labour leadership have been complicit...

  Genuine question: where is the evidence of this?

  I repeatedly see Corbyn say anti-semitism is unacceptable, and read reports that the party have taken action in relation to complaints, expelling members. I do not want to deny a problem where it may exist, but I suspect that there's an aspect of this that is whipped up by the press and has become an easy way to criticise Labour.

  Corbyn's letter covers 5 of the 6 tests. They are a starting point for what a Labour deal would look like, and they've been clear on this for some time. I don't think it's cynical, I think it's a pretty smart move as an attempt to take control of the narrative in the public realm, whilst also signalling to the EU exactly what Labour are willing to get behind in order to get a deal through parliament, timed exactly when May is sitting down to re-open negotiations.

  I’d be more disappointed if we’d had Kane, Alli and Son on the pitch and not won it. As it was we did well to take it to penalties. I’ve never rated Llorente and don’t expect him to get the goals that will see us through the coming weeks safely. Hats off to Chelsea for getting their shit together after last week, they deserved the win.
