Just to remind:

WE are saying:

- A trade deal around quotas and tariffs should be easy enough in its own right;
- A separate fishing deal should be negotiated and not tacked onto the trade deal;
- Other agreements such as aviation, security, etc should be separately negotiated.

THE EU is saying:
- Everything must be in one deal because of our proximity to Europe;
- There must be a 'level playing field' ( see Irish 12½% Corporation tax for details);
- EU law is to govern the agreement.
- The EU is bigger than the UK (we should bow to them).

Unless they blink, there will be no trade deal (tariffs/quotas). If we blink first, I'll be disappointed.
