I’ve been leaked a recent Dexeu document setting out in black & white how UK plans to diverge from EU on regulations despite Johnson assurances on workers rights etc

it’s tonight’s @ft splash
just heard @KwasiKwarteng on @BBCRadio4 claiming he’s not aware of any such document
It’s entitled “Update to EPSG on level playing field negotiations”, hope this helps
The paper also says:
“official - sensitive - not to be copied or forwarded without author’s permission”

The most interesting part, for me, about this @ShippersUnbound splash is what it says about Team Boris, rather than where the EU/Irish are on #Brexit - it's same old assumption that Merkel or whover is coming to the rescue. Not sure they are. 1/Thread thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/s…
@ShippersUnbound As I think you'll see @simoncoveney say on @AndrewMarr9 #Marr this morning, the Irish are not for turning...and the Coveney Sunday Times piece is pretty clear on that.
It takes a lot to see an "olive branch" in the pledge to use future relationship to do away with backstop /2

@ShippersUnbound @simoncoveney @AndrewMarr9 That is just EU #Brexit boilerplate, it's the same as Merkel said last week about using the Political Declaration to obviate need for the backstop
- so if UK either accepts NI-only backstop,
- or if all UK remained aligned in a way that makes border
...backstop falls. /3

Wtaching #marrshow - here is @instituteforgov on what preparations for no deal need to look like instituteforgovernment.org.uk/blog/preparing…
@instituteforgov Andrew Marr is completely right that we don't know what would happen to UK citizens in EU -- what's the planning - one of the questions to answer
@instituteforgov this would all fall to a bunch of bilateral agreements....
