So, what will the future relationship with the EU be post-Brexit? Will there be a cake (and eat it) fight at Chequers?

The Standard today had a go at predicting things:

There will be no great showdown at Chequers on Friday.
None of the three options is acceptable to the EU anyway.
The promised bespoke deal of frictionless trade with control over borders and laws won't happen.
We're now back to looking at the options David Cameron outlined: 1) Membership of the EEA like Norway, 2) a Canada-style free trade agreement or 3) just WTO membership.
The decision will be delayed and extensions sought to the transition period.
One day, a stronger Cabinet will decide to join the EEA.
