The permanent solution will be the only one on the table - some kind of facilitation deal, with trusted partners and monitoring via technology. That, however, requires time to implement. Kicking the can down the road is all HMG needs to do in order to get the plan in place. It’s hard to see what objection the EU can have, when it comes to it, if the thing is up and running anyway.
