There is some light in the dark corner. I hope that I'm not misreading sentiment that the EU prominente have concluded that their combined financial depth is insufficient to fund investment and that they need to continue calling on the London markets as at present.
If that's true, the UK has a strong negotiating card to play in terms of the rule regarding withdrawal by the EU of equivalence recognition.
I also think, from my armchair, that this card can also be used to ease the Irish question.
Let's see. 21-November is it?

Dominic Raab wrote a letter indicating that 21 November was the expected date for a deal. But this was withdrawn just three hours later.

Just to add a bit of flavour to Chris's post. My original post was a reflective piece on how we should react if it was found that Arron Banks was found guilty. It opened by stating that Brexit negotiations should continue. It was not a run-of-the mill "We need a referendum post.
I do think that any potential interference in the democratic process by a hostile state is a concern and we need to be thoughtful about how we tackle it.
Business is worried about Brexit on many fronts.
