Many congratulations Flick!

[Camden Lib Dems 🔶 @CamdenLibDems]

Huge congratulations to our Flick for being made an honorary alderman in Camden. Throughly well deserved after so many years of service to the people of Camden.

[Andrew Marshall @AndrewIMarshall]

Appalling news. A Camden anecdote: David Amess twice unexpectedly beat longstanding Camden cllr Julian Fulbrook in Basildon. Julian told me once that after the 83 declaration Amess more or less apologised to him for having beaten him, the highly fancied London lawyer

@RichardOsley @tomfoot1 @dannycarrier Many congratulations Richard!

[Andrew Marshall @AndrewIMarshall]

Very sad to hear. May he rest in peace. One regular image in my mind is Eric standing, hovering at the back of the council chamber, trying to spot what was really going on.

[Camden Council @CamdenCouncil]

Our sympathies are with the family, friends & everyone who knew & worked with Eric Gordon, founding editor of @NewJournal, who died yesterday.
Eric built a newspaper covering every inch of Camden - and its influence goes much further. It is an integral part of Camden's identity.

Well the @FT better increase its coverage of private credit << Nest plans bold expansion into private markets via @FT

Johnson had better come up with some better lines on Scotland than he managed on #Marr today

[Andrew Marshall @AndrewIMarshall]

What nonsense. Serious historians can’t judge what attitude Thatcher would have taken to Brexit, as her sympathetic biographer Charles Moore agrees. We do know she backed a meaningful increase in QMV in the EU to make the Single Market a reality.

[Sir David Amess MP @amessd_southend]

Whilst Margaret didn’t live long enough to see this day, I am sure that she is rejoicing in heaven.

At last we ‘got Brexit done’!

[Andrew Marshall @AndrewIMarshall]

A particularly bonkers @SteveBakerHW tweet. A State Dept investigation found that Ambassador Johnson had made inappropriate or insensitive comments to embassy staff.

[Rt Hon Steve Baker FRSA 🗽 @SteveBakerFRSA]

Best ambassador ever.

[Andrew Marshall @AndrewIMarshall]

@AliceMHopkin 75% of people in Camden don’t think there is anything to celebrate in Brexit.

[Andrew Marshall @AndrewIMarshall]

Well said Stephen. We should always describe it as the hard Brexit deal. Am worried that some see more of a compromise here than is the case.

[Stephen Dorrell 🔸 @stephen_dorrell]

The claim by @BorisJohnson that there are "no new non tariff barriers to trade" in the EU Agreement is jaw dropping. The whole purpose of 2000 pages is to create barriers that do not exist today.

[Andrew Marshall @AndrewIMarshall]

@HamishSHunter well Brexit certainly unpopular, support well under 40% now. That shambles might help Lab.

[Andrew Marshall @AndrewIMarshall]

Four and a half years to plan and it’s a shambles. The Johnson govt, the @Conservatives and Brexiteers generally are to blame for this.

[Brexitshambles @brexit_sham]

Look at all that sovereignty....

[Andrew Marshall @AndrewIMarshall]

Nice to see a fleeting shot of a young @John_Mills_JML, the former @CamdenLabour councillor, in the second episode of Marr’s New Elizabethans on BBC. Those 1975 sideburns!

[Sir Roger Gale @SirRogerGale]

If Mr Johnson fails to reach an acceptable trade agreement with the EU the Prime Minister will also have failed the people of the United Kingdom. As a lifelong member of the Conservative Party, I believe that Mr Johnson's position as Prime Minister would be untenable. 1/2

.@CDU first leadership debate tonight. Three serious, able candidates - all with experience and judgement that would leave most of the current UK cabinet in the shade

[phoenix @phoenix_de]

Wer wird @CDU-Parteivorsitzender? Erste Kandidatenrunde mit @ArminLaschet, @_FriedrichMerz und @n_roettgen. https://t.co/1YjvAKnAK1

[Andrew Marshall @AndrewIMarshall]

@iancolintaylor @BickhamEdward Agree in part Edward. The EU can deal with bluster (Berlusconi say) as long as there’s not ideological vetos at every summit (like Cameron in 2011). UK combines nationalist bluster with track record of rigid obstructionism to all EU progress (since single market etc)

[Andrew Marshall @AndrewIMarshall]

@imranahmadkhan A truly inane tweet.

[Andrew Marshall @AndrewIMarshall]

@HamishSHunter Boris specifically said to @BethRigby in campaign that he could guarantee a great FTA - that @SkyNews clip doing the rounds. Happy Christmas!

[Andrew Marshall @AndrewIMarshall]

@Xlibris1 Yes they are. Though comparing a strategic foe like Russia with our closest democratic neighbours really absurd
