I believe this paragraph (paragraph 17 of the
political declaration is a major sticking point;
Quote:
Given the Union and the United Kingdom's geographic proximity and economic
interdependence, the future relationship must ensure open and fair competition,
encompassing robust commitments to ensure a level playing field. The precise nature of
commitments should be commensurate with the scope and depth of the future relationship
and the economic connectedness of the Parties.

This basically says no level playing field, no deal
