So it is either no deal or a deal on EU terms

Unless UK now gives way to EU on 'level playing field' (ie, regulatory equivalence) and governance (ie, enforcement) there will be no deal

All the fish and lawless clauses being thrown overboard will not change this

Perhaps the weakest argument ever used in a negotiation for an international agreement https://twitter.com/YewTree/status/1336040215216087050

So 50:50 - no deal against v EU getting its way

No chance of UK getting its own way

No idea now which of these will be outcome

No deal is not inevitable - 4 reasons

1. both sides talking

2. both sides have an interest in a deal and an interest in avoiding no deal

3. still time to finalise a deal

4. Johnson has form for giving in and pretending it to be a great victory, shoving problems down the road https://twitter.com/Duncan_Wilson78/status/1336041632932777990
