1640401752687099918 | 🚨🚨 Great, crisp & compelling analysis by Swedish Diplomat Christian Leffler of why the Swiss Model is impractical & a poor policy choice for the UK when developing a closer EU relationship. @pmdfoster @Usherwood @DavidHenigUK @AndrewDuffEU @BlogWyatt https://t.co/cwRmCstHO6 | 6 |
1641711087333568512 | Andrew Duff recounts the role of the UK in the early history of European integration to reflect on the 2016 British decision to leave the European Union.

1640437794643255317 | @Jacobbe79601492 @pmdfoster @Usherwood @DavidHenigUK @AndrewDuffEU @BlogWyatt The "key points" document from the negotiations from which the Swiss government absconded is of great interest in this context. One could view the Swiss position as accepting the four legs of SM table but not the top - role of ECJ - holding it together... https://t.co/DU5LtmFmPR | 1 |
1640456679669088258 | @Jacobbe79601492 @pmdfoster @Usherwood @DavidHenigUK @AndrewDuffEU @BlogWyatt Interesting piece. I'd rather have Swiss model - better to bicker and argue whilst enjoying the benefits than bicker and argue with all the benefits of rotting fruit. | 0 |
1640442468784021519 | @Jacobbe79601492 @pmdfoster @Usherwood @DavidHenigUK @AndrewDuffEU @BlogWyatt The crux for the UK remains as it has always been i.e. the presumed unwillingness of the electorate to accept a return to free movement of persons with its many reciprocal benefits. But is it really the case? The Swiss electorate gave its answer in 2020. https://t.co/9m77WEd9iV | 0 |
1640436581608595464 | @Jacobbe79601492 @pmdfoster @Usherwood @DavidHenigUK @AndrewDuffEU @BlogWyatt "Others, like the land and air transport agreements and the one on free movement of people, are more recent and key to Swiss access to the four freedoms of the Internal Market." !!! ... It would be more accurate to say "acceptance of which was key to Swiss access to the SM"... | 0 |
