Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
Nissan is clearly positioning itself for another bung from the UK Government if the inevitable No Deal plays out. Not sure the model is sustainable though, lots of companies will be following in an orderly line

Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
Good news for importers.
Quote:
UK in U-turn on full post-Brexit border controls
Temporary light-touch customs regime planned with pressure from business not to compound Covid-19 chaos
In a significant policy U-turn, Michael Gove, the Cabinet Office minister, has accepted that businesses cannot be expected to cope with Covid-19 and simultaneously face the prospect of disruption at the border at the end of the post-Brexit transition period.
Instead of full checks, the government will now introduce a temporary light-touch regime at UK ports like Dover for incoming EU goods, under both a deal and “no-deal” scenario.
However, officials concede that goods flowing to the EU from the UK are likely to face full checks as they enter France.

Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
Brexit: UK 'formally confirms' to EU that it won't extend transition period
Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove says he has told Brussels that "the moment for an extension has now passed".

Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
"Formally confirming" - is that legally binding?

Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
Not really a surprise.
Quote:
A UK-US trade deal is highly unlikely to be approved before the US election in November, according to Donald Trump’s chief trade representative.
Speaking before the House Ways and Means Committee, United States Trade Representative Ambassador Robert Lighthizer said that such an agreement is “almost impossible” by the 2020 election.
This raises the prospect that the president, who was supportive of Brexit and Britain forging new trade deals, could be out of office before any agreement is signed.

Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
We have just six weeks to strike a deal with Japan!
Unlike the current extensive one we enjoy due to the EU, this one if achieved will be severely limited in nature. Expect Agriculture to be thrown under the bus.

Typical sensationalism.
Is there any reason why we can't negotiate this deal in stages? Or why we cannot protect our current position while negotiations continue over a slightly longer period?
Obstacles there may be, but obstacles are there to be overcome.

The FT is many things but I'm not sure that's a label I would attach to it.

Japan is in a stronger position than us so is calling the shots. It has a range of trade deals across the world including the EU. And of course it's a bigger country.
Japan also feels that we have reneged on the gentleman's agreement it made with Margaret Thatcher's government which secured the Japanese car factories, so its goodwill is diminished.
The trouble with doing it in stages is that there would be an inevitable gap from 1st January to when the next bit of the deal is concluded. This could mean that Japanese buyers go elsewhere and don't return to the UK suppliers when the deal is done.

Our current position with Japan is only there by virtue of the EU and ends on 31 December. Boris has said he won't entertain an extension past this date which would protect our position.

I can only conclude you're viewing that link from China as it actually links to " John Bolton: Trump sought Xi's help to win re-election"

No different to just about every other world leader about their country.
