This, by @iainmartin1, is a hopeless misreading of the real problem: the failure of the U.K. government to make any acceptable proposal on a subsidy regime.

As I explain in the thread, the current government’s position on a subsidy regime has veered all over the place over the past year. Slight move back to the original position recently, but still hedged around by hopelessly ambiguous language (“administrative” regime).
The way forward is obvious and is agreed by figures from across the Brexit spectrum: a UK subsidy control regime, enforceable by third parties and with an independent regulator. If negotiations break down because No10 won’t make that move, No10 - alone - will be responsible.
