Last throw of the dice before caving in but the huge negative reaction to the proposed legislation by the EU and US meant it backfied.

Plea to avoid 'devastating' no-deal Brexit as UK car industry sees worst September in 25 years
Mr Hawes [SMMT] pleaded with the government to reach a trade deal with the EU so that cars from Britain could still be exported to the bloc's countries tariff-free.
He said: "With the end of transition now just 63 days away, the fact that both sides are back around the table is a relief but we need negotiators to agree a deal urgently, one that prioritises automotive, enhances innovation and supports the industry in addressing the global threat of climate change.
"With production already strained, the additional blow of 'no deal' would be devastating for the sector, its workers and their families."

A cross-party group of MPs and peers including a former national security adviser are taking legal action against Boris Johnson over his government’s refusal to order an inquiry into Russian interference in UK elections.
The group filed a claim in the high court in an attempt to force the prime minister to carry out an independent investigation or public inquiry. It the first legal action of its kind over alleged national security failures.
The move follows the publication in July of the Russia report by parliament’s intelligence and security committee (ISC). It found that the government and its intelligence services had failed to investigate Kremlin meddling in the 2016 EU referendum vote – a “hot potato”, as the ISC put it.
