The UK is lurching towards a ‘no deal’ #Brexit as @BorisJohnson refuses to compromise on State aid law.

Worth noting this is a primarily ideological stance.
The Government doesn’t appear to have plans to shift to the UK economy to Scandinavian levels of State spending.
Quadrupling State aid would bring the UK on par with Germany (who, of course, are subject to the same rules).

However don’t underestimate how ingrained a dislike of State aid regulation is amongst Boris Johnson’s inner circle.
I understand the most hardline voices on this subject have been the two Dominics (Cummings and Raab). This isn’t a recent position either.

That said there does appear to be some wriggle room for an agreement to be reached.
My understanding is that the EU isn’t asking for alignment, but rather the same high standards of subsidy control to be maintained.
Slender wriggle room, but perhaps it will be enough?
