Untrue.
Our departure from the EU has occurred and the termination of the transition period is set in law. The default is to end that period with no deal. It may be of distant secondary importance right now, but it is still extremely important for this country to determine what its permanent relationship with the EU will look like, and one way or another that will require government and parliamentary time well before the end of the year. Given the government’s political deadline for visible progress by June, some decisions will have to be taken fairly soon.
