1. Here's the phrase I hear could cause a lot of trouble tomorrow - the UK will make an 'upfront choice to make a legally binding agreement to ongoing harmonisation with the EU, including agrifoods'
2. Cabinet paper is more than 100 pages long, it also does say that the single standards model' would make it harder, if not impossible, to do a trade deal with the US
3. Decision for Brexiteers is whether they scramble tonight + tomorrow to shoot down the proposals, or whether they allow it to go thro because of political pressure to find an agreement
4. Hear Johnson and Davis plan to argue again for max fac option tomorrow, but on past form, it seems likely that meeting will be bumpy, but will go through
5. In any case, acid test is whether EU sees proposal as remotely credible - one cab minister says that's what this is about, 'to start the conversation' again wtih Brussels, remember until now there have been no proper negs about the future relationship, just about divorce deal
6. But EU sources pretty clear if White Paper isn't in their eyes realistic, the choice becomes again, Norway, or Canada, high or low alignment, best mates or respectful neighbours, here we go round the mulberry bush, again and again, and again
7. What also stays the same is the different arithmetic - majority in Parliament is for something soft and fudgey like this sort of Swiss-ish thing, but there are enough eurosceptics in the Tory party to stop May in her tracks, IF they want to
8. Biggest problem for May as ever, not the enormous complexity of Brexit, but lack of majority - hype is often in inverse proportion to news events once they actually arrive, but PM is v vulnerable in the next few days
9. Meanwhile @PaulTwinn has excellently already got the picnic for tomorrow
