I think it's because the whole leave process is so rushed. The Government should have published its position papers then invoked Article 50. As it is, it invoked Article 50 for a year, faffed around with an election and then started to worry when the egg timer began to run out of salt, knowing that no deal was worse than even a deal negotiated when time was not on its side. You couldn't make it up but that's what our negotiators are having to do in the absence of a full set of positioning papers.

Meanwhile, this looks like the kind of crazy idea the Darling Buds of May (Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill) would have dreamt up back in the day. No wonder the business community is not rushing to sign it! It's lifted from the playbook of China or Russia.
