My take: no leader wants to be the first one to say publicly that #Brexit talks have failed.
Neither side wants to be blamed for the no-deal chaos coming in 75 days.
And so, most likely, @BorisJohnson will decide tomorrow to blow through his deadline and continue talks.

But the talks will be just a charade.
There will be a long gap between when leaders decide for themselves no-deal is inevitable, and when they say it to the public.
For as long as they're afraid to say it out loud, businesses aren't getting the message to prepare for no deal.

1/3 of UK businesses apparently think that there will be an extension of the #Brexit transition period - something legally impossible at this point.
It's clear governments on both sides of the channel aren't communicating the facts to business.

At this point, even if governments start sounding the alarm telling businesses to brace for impact, what can they do?
The #CoronaVirus #SecondWave is completely preoccupying both politicians & business.
A perfect storm is coming in 75 days. And politicians are afraid to say it
