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”

“They are telling us they want regulatory alignment but they’re also telling the ERG that they’re providing a path to a Canada-style deal.”

business minister Kwesi Kwarteng told the BBC the claims were "completely mad"

it’ll be interesting to see what right-wing ERG types make of the @JamesCleverly insistence that of course a Tory government will improve employment legislation for the benefit of workers #MarrShow
