The UK is starting talks to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (#CPTPP)
One way of finding out what it is: look at the text.
Here goes.
It doesn’t have a Secretariat so the text is published by each govt. Google “CPTPP text”

New Zealand is a good place to start. It has the text by chapter, 30 of them: https://t.co/UvtW9wgRky
(Canada has summaries by chapter: https://t.co/PswL4vt3WD)

“Wow! 30 chapters. Better start reading”
“Hang on. There’s more.”

“Right. Is that it?”
“Those are only the side agreements involving New Zealand. Here are Australia’s”

“Er, how many members does #CPTPP have?”
"Eleven.
“Don’t worry. We’re not going through all the side agreements.
“But these next bits are important. The Annexes. Annex 2-D contains the tariff commitments of each country.”

This month, in honor of Black History Month, we wanted to highlight 17 Black chemists you might have missed in class:
Winifred Burks-Houck was an environmental organic chemist and the first woman president of @NOBCChE. During her work at @Livermore_Lab she minimized threats to worker safety and limited the lab’s environmental impact. Learn more about her at https://t.co/XY47pzQbuU #BlackInSTEM
Charles Drew, better known as the father of the blood bank, found that blood could be preserved longer once the plasma and the red blood cells were separated. A well-timed finding, since WWII was breaking out in Europe. Read more about Drew at https://t.co/GuSZajs8OO #BlackInChem
James Andrew Harris played a key role in the discovery of two elements. During his time @BerkeleyLab in the ’60s, Harris and his team discovered two elements: 104, rutherfordium, and 105, dubnium. Learn more about Harris at https://t.co/HKjp7jaPFN #BlackInChem #BlackInSTEM
Angie Turner King was a prominent chemist educator in a period when few women—let alone Black women—were scientists. She built a successful career and mentored many accomplished scientists. Read more about King at https://t.co/pwmycraxYP #BlackInSTEM #WomenInSTEM #ChemEd

You have to be one locked in, arrogant Representative to be seen in a photo with Mike Bitar - and all the @FBI baggage he brings.

THREAD- So racist Leeze Lawrence has been elected as office bearer in an SNP affiliate group. How can it be? We’ve all seen the racist, sexist abuse. Is it anything to do with a new twitter name? Unfortunately for Leeze we’ve got proof that the abuse is from the same account 1/19
So has Leeze convinced the SNP that the abuse is from a fake account? “Nowt to do with me, Guv?” Leeze’s account name used to be @Miss_Leeze, it's now @Ms_Leeze, apparently it's an attempt to deny association with the vile bile, archived below: 2/19

The trans activist Leeze Lawrence posted racist tweets then deleted them then claimed they were fake. Unfortunately for Leeze she has a lot more racist tweets as yet undeleted but this time they're archived. It's shocking stuff. Here's a thread with links to archive and originals pic.twitter.com/n2lWxkVISR
