Tory Brexiteers' claim that WTO rules let them pull a rabbit out of the hat is pure magical thinking
02/09/2019
Does the World Trade Organization (WTO) have a magic legal provision, one that Britain can use to get out of the “no-deal” Brexit jail?
“We want to use GATT Article 24” means “We want a free trade agreement in goods that complies with WTO rules”. It doesn’t say much.

I rebutted @DCBMEP's original thread. He deleted most of it and retweeted it here. So here's my original rebuttal thread on why he's wrong, slightly elaborated.
People who should know better keep talking about the UK becoming a leader in the World Trade Organization. What exactly does this mean and what are the chances?
Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg was wrong about this but he’s never corrected his mistake, and the myth persists. What is the claim and why is it wrong?
