As I said earlier ... there was a time when all sides in this negotiation were in agreement that ideally the UK should not be leaving the EU in the first place. I’d have been more surprised if a document like this didn’t exist, and I couldn’t be less surprised that it is being leaked now, by someone who was in it up to their eyeballs and is still trying desperately, now from the outside of government, to continue to exert pressure to force the UK to remain as close to the EU as possible.
