This is where it gets interesting.

Are the EU countries blinking? Maybe not Ireland yet; maybe not all; but the smoke signals are emerging.

Does it hinge on Geoffrey Cox providing a positive legal opinion?

Does it hinge on that Corbyn thing manoeuvring for power or will he give Labour a Free vote?

Would the best Tory psychology be to give their members a free vote?

So many variables that keep the risk high that there would be no deal.

I’d be happy with a deal that limits the backstop but not one that enshrines in treaty that the future relationship will be founded around a customs union.
