Of course we could game them. The additional year would give us additional time to put underlying frameworks for global trade deals in place.

If the options are to end the transition agreement without a future relationship agreed the date is irrelevant to the UK/EU position - all it means is we have 12 additional months to improve the UK/world position during a global pandemic.

The whole capitalist house of cards is in crisis. It’ll survive, it always does, but the relative positions in the future are all to play for with careful planning.
