Brexit leak to FT: officials say NI protocol “major” challenge, ponders “not being able to deliver” it by next Dec

Cons claim is that they can negotiate a UK-EU Free Trade deal, ratify across multiple Parliaments and implement too incl complex NI checks/rebates within 11 months
In a similar vein though, Labour says it can do a new negotiation of the withdrawal deal/ future relationship, by March, and then simultaneously legislate a Withdrawal and Referendum Act, for a new plebiscite by June, which can be immediately implemented...
Replies pointing out that the very tight Labour timetable possible if staying in single Market and Customs Union - perhaps - but Labour hasn’t been clear about this being their precise option.

Either way main parties 2020 Brexit calendars “done” or “sorted” looking optimistic
Yes but difference between “close alignment” with Single Market, (with some opt outs?) & retaining full EEA membership, is a negotiation that would take longer than 3 months. If it is the EEA that they are aiming for, surely they should make that clear.
