Funnily enough when the Daily Mail covers the EU trade talks, it never mentions it is suing the European Commission.
The owners aren’t happy that the European Commission regards them to have received unlawful State aid by using a tax break for foreign companies.

The crux of the deadlock is “ideology vs economic pragmatism”
The EU has asked the UK to produce its own State aid regime which achieves the same “high standards”.
However the UK won’t engage with this because of the ideology of Boris Johnson’s inner circle.

I think they’re missing the bigger picture.
The people shopping on Britain’s high streets don’t want to see a fall in their living standards due to the ideology of a few in Westminster.
The Sun has captured the mood of the people in this editorial.

The UK awards much less State aid than other EU countries - who of course are subject to the same EU State aid rules.
Therefore if the UK is planning to continue broadly as before economic pragmatism means you would accept the EU’s offer.

Examples of how a UK State aid regime matches Vote Leave’s #Brexit promises:
- It’s not EU law, so it’s doesn’t need to be subject to the CJEU.
- we would get to spend our money on our priorities, whilst keeping the useful safeguards on cronyism and excessive subsidies.

Even if the UK State aid regime resembles that of the EU, we can still achieve our objectives.

> Levelling up is about more cash, rather than different rules.

And the vision of Dominic Cummings, that the UK should become a technology powerhouse, is achievable under State aid rules.
Indeed, it requires the kind of coordination achieved by State aid rules...

So the time has come to end the rhetoric. It’s simply not working.
Instead the UK can achieve a “Brexit Breakthrough” by producing a robust UK State aid regime.
