It’s a massive worry, which is why someone over there has to say the solution is greater union in this field; not the usual ministerial level meetings on agreeable resorts but a EU level body that can deal with things like this without having to wait.
Both negotiating parties public comments.
EU: we want fishing in this deal. UK: we won't accept fishing and want the same arrangements you have with Norway who negotiate annually for access to their fishing grounds.
EU: We want level playing field. UK: Level playing fields are not free trade agreements and the EU has this arrangement with no other external EU country.
UK: We want unlimited single market access like Swiss. EU: Not unless you sign up to ECJ. UK: No chance.
It'll all be done when the deadline is almost upon us as usual. Just like when the EU said the withdrawal agreement can't change etc etc - within sight of the deadline Boris gets them to move.

The civil service after Brexit: lessons from the Article 50 period | Institute for Government
A divided cabinet and battles between parliament and government revealed tensions in the civil service’s duty to “serve the government of the day”.
www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk
'This report says that both Theresa May and Boris Johnson failed to defend the civil service when MPs and commentators questioned its impartiality.
It says May allowed Olly Robbins, her chief Brexit negotiator, to become a target for political attacks over her controversial Brexit policy, while Johnson placed officials in an immensely difficult position by implying that he would break the law to take the UK out of the EU without a deal on 31 October 2019.'

Given the immigration bill this week, I read an interesting paper from Rice University looking at undocumented immigrants in Texas. Long story short, it said that because these people buy stuff, and therefore contribute taxes even if not via income tax, they generate $1.21 for every $1 spent by the state in supporting them. Obviously EU migrants aren't in any way undocumented so the figure here will be even bigger. It's a good job we're not entering a period where the state needs every penny it can get.
Really good thread
Disgusting, illogical and pure propaganda. How anyone could vote for this Government is beyond me

Problem is no one really cares as long as there a less people about talking funny languages.
Read a couple of studies on immigration lately, and the general view has softened significantly since Brexit, with the pandemic adding to that trend. It's just a shame the government seem to be bludgeoning on when the appetite for them to do so among supporters is weakening.
Would imagine there are less anti-immigration stories in the press at the moment to be fair.
