Brexiters might argue that this shows how the UK can act more swiftly with deals as an independent entity. The bigger question is how well does it bode for a deal between the UK and EU?

Going by the rhetoric we aren't getting one, either permanent or transitional, for the foreseeable. Financial services and manufacturers need to start putting their contingency plans into effect and indeed some already have.
Also I note the UK is apparently
planning to direct foreign aid towards winning support in WTO schedule talks. So what David Davis and others have said about a seamless transition with no legal ambiguity looks like a lie.
I am shocked. David Davis has been so honest, on the rare occasion he's actually said anything substantial, since he took up his new post.
