Seen some confusion this morning about what happens to free mobile roaming after Brexit- specifically the idea that roaming charges will come back after the transition period, either automatically or in the absence of an agreement with the EU. This isn't quite right. Quick thread

Quick summary of this week's Brexit, trade and EU developments from me:

The UK is about to "take back control" - but do politicians know what they want to do with it? Stephen Booth on the challenges and opportunities of Brexit in @ConHome ✍️

https://t.co/bTxdylVHE2

[Open Europe @OpenEurope]

"With greater freedom and independence comes opportunity but also greater risks. No longer can the EU be blamed, rightly or wrongly, for the nation’s ills. We will all be forced to up our game." - Stephen Booth writes in @ConHome

https://t.co/bTxdymdj2C

[Dom Walsh @DomWalsh13]

Important piece from @OpenEurope Acting Director Stephen Booth - the Government needs to start giving meaning to what "taking back control" after Brexit will mean

https://t.co/auVHh0RLhl

[Open Europe @OpenEurope]

"Whatever the exact form our new relationship with the EU takes, it will mean greater freedom for the UK to set its own course on trade, regulation and immigration. The question is what the UK should do with this independence." - Stephen Booth in @ConHome
