@dphinnemore.bsky.social Baroness O’Loan was worried that both Cooperation Ireland and NICVA told LordsNISCom they rely on Katy Hayward to voluntarily involve them in Windsor Framework consultation because neither the UK or NI governments have anybody in NI managing the impact on the community

@aslak.bsky.social adds that for the UK to finalise negotiation of its EU trade reset within 12 months the UK would have to know going in exactly what it wants and convince the EU any new arrangements agreed would survive under the next UK government

@samuelmarclowe.bsky.social asked at the Lord EU committee how long the UK’s desired trade reset could take to negotiate says it could be done in 12 months if there is the political will

Nick Thomas Symonds: This government has been clear we are not hitting rewind. We are not undoing Brexit and not rejoining the Single Market or the Customs Union. But we are looking to make Brexit work in a ruthlessly pragmatic way. That is the spirit we are taking into the discussions with the EU.

@antonspisak.bsky.social tells Lords EU the UK red lines on the EU reset might fit inside the new EU-Swiss agreement reached in December (subject to Swiss Parliament ratification and possibly a referendum)

John Peet’s outline of his Economist article saying Starmer should aim higher with his Brexit reset posted on the demon network for all those refugees who have abandoned it and escaped to here

EU informal summit on 3 Feb to which Keir Starmer is invited is specifically on defence and the EU will only be ready to discuss the Brexit reset at the EU-UK summit expected in April
January 23, 2025 at 4:19 PM
@mijrahman.bsky.social told the Lords EU that “officials in Brussels and European capitals are at a loss as to what the UK government actually wants to do” and establishing credibility for the “reset” will depend on what Starmer puts forward at the UK-EU summit in April.

UK Business & Trade Secretary at Davos asked about boosting growth by joining a Customs Union (split into 2 videos due to Bluesky 60 second limit on videos)

@mijrahman.bsky.social “With Michael Ellam’s appointment & the summit, we will get a lot more momentum & detail, what are the UK’s actual plans. You do get the impression there are a number of priorities where the EU would like to see more collaboration. That would enable more discussion on trade.”
January 21, 2025 at 10:50 PM
@mijrahman.bsky.social to Lords EU Committee “The sense in Europe is the UK has still not squared its own circle, how do you make this (EU reset) part of your economic agenda in a meaningful way, in the light of the red lines you’ve articulated.”
January 21, 2025 at 10:32 PM
@pimlicat.bsky.social Kemi Badenoch: “We announced we would leave the EU before we had a plan for growth outside the EU.”

NI Secretary of State said in December the Windsor Framework Independent Monitoring Panel of which @annajerzewska.bsky.social is a member would report on the WF implementation so maybe the two initiatives will converge.

@anuragdeb.bsky.social in case the Equality Commission does not post here yet. They posted this on X but everybody is leaving there.

@profjacob.bsky.social Telegraph article is a day old now so fair to post it for your analysis
December 14, 2024 at 6:21 PM
Nick Thomas Symonds also told Lords EU Comm he expects to meet Maros Sefcovic in the new year about every 2 weeks to agree a package leading up to the Starmer EU summit meeting
December 11, 2024 at 2:31 PM
@profjacob.bsky.social has the UK ever said as clearly as Nick Thomas Symonds did yesterday in the Lords EU Committee that the EU relations “reset” was designed to get ahead of the TCA review?
