1. UK says they have given EU details of what they propose for new “We have now shared in written form a series of confidential technical non-papers which reflect the ideas the UK has been putting forward. We will table formal written solutions when we are ready”
2. EU has just confirmed this as well - reminder as ever that so much of this ‘we don’t know what you want’ - ‘oh yes you do’ - is a political dance and doesn’t always reflect what is actually happening
3. Introduces also the new Brexit word ‘non-papers’ into the lexicon - anyone on here care to define
