On Brexit negs: EU side is pretty adamant that on 🐠, 25/6 (incl Pelagic) is final offer. But Brits haven't killed it; Frost is talking to Boris on this today

Def not all doom & gloom. Some good progress has been made on LPF non-regression chapters, social, env & tax 1/
While COM keen to wrap up a deal today/tmrw, EU capitals are tad more relaxed - their view: get substance right; we'll accommodate process/legal constraints after

So maybe tonight/tmrw we get a “general understanding“ it's moving in right direction; deal in Xmas/NY window 2/
Member states are, however, on standby to meet tomorrow in case there's a deal today.. 3/
Still no real UK/EU appetite for extension - yet. Official line is: No deal contingency measures will bridge any gaps after 1 Jan & a deal

But if both sides are v close, & Govt accepted conditions of continued Single Market access (big IF), lawyers in Bxl will find a way
