First take from #WhitePaper Foreword.

There’s a new mantra. “Principled & Practical Brexit”.

Apparently it is in our national interest. And so together *we* must now get on and deliver it. To secure the prosperity & security of our citizens for generations to come.

*Coughs*
Foreword from our new Brexit Sec sings about our “unprecedented economic partnership..unrivalled security partnership & and unparalleled partnership on cross-cutting issues such as data, science, innovation”.

Isn’t that called the EU? /2
They don’t call it a #WhitePaper for nothing.
(Cheekily note the tiny heading)
No time to read whole thing now & will do. But this would have been a much better starting place, 2 years ago.

On first glance, though, it seems rather curious. Lots of softened red lines. Lots of mixing up bits & pieces of an EU pie which reality dictates we still want/need.
There was another approach to Brexit that didn’t involve wasting 2 years w court proceedings, an election, preventing transparency & debate in favour of mantras & triggering #Art50 before this #WhitePaper was written, but now there’s a mad dash to pull back from the cliff edge.
