Good thought piece from Laura Kuenssberg on the fundamental issue that the UK faces with its Brexit position.
Quote:
Fourth, the EU is still concerned that the UK government is yet to present a clear picture of what it really wants the long-term relationship to be. And it's still the case, sources tell me, that the full cabinet is yet to have a proper discussion that tries to find that answer.
Sounds extraordinary but given how divided the party is, arguably the lack of discussion is what keeps things even vaguely calm. With guns drawn in the Tory party there is no temptation for Theresa May to fire a shot.
And there's nothing in the next couple of days, or even the next couple of months, that's likely to change that or to answer that much more fundamental question.

If all you've got to clutch at is straws then that's what I would be doing in Guido Fawkes's position. Every country in the world which trades with us should be undertaking these types of preparations.
