Stories like this:  UK govt is totally relying on a transitional deal - & will have to make big concessions to get it

" Belief that customs system will be ready for Brexit ‘borders on insanity’

Logistics company CEVA says delays could lead to ‘calamitous situation’ at Dover, and warns it may already be too late"

Only 29 Labour MPs (incl Phil Wilson, teller) voted to keep option of staying in EU single market

But they defied the whip in doing so, so it's essentially 29 'rebels'.  Looks a more substantial number when viewed in that light.

Brexit update:

1. Divorce deal looks odds-on in Dec. Joint text being drafted.
2. Dec 4-8 breakthrough week. Timing tight.
3. Probs: Ireland + Brexit bill (EU reject divorce € tie to trade)
4. Deal choreography there. Execution risk still significant

Charles Grant‏ @CER_Grant

My take-away from a day of meetings in Brussels:

The issue of the Irish border is much more likely to scupper a deal on Brexit in December than money or citizens' rights.

'There is no solution that can satisfy IRE and UK', says one EU ambassador.

the OBR doesn't agree with the policy

OBR assumes that the stamp duty cut will simply up house prices 1:1 “Thus the main gainers from the policy are people who already own property”
