#Brexit update: Anything could happen tomorrow, but my guess is nothing will happen.
Talks are continuing as we speak, but there's no phone call or announcement scheduled for tomorrow's "deadline".
It's possible we end tomorrow with no news.

It's possible we end tomorrow with no news.
Like all the past deadlines (June, Oct), they've simply said that on Sunday they'll assess 'whether enough progress has been made to continue talks'.
When each deadline came they've said 'we've made some small progress so let's continue'. That may happen again tomorrow.

But if they decide to continue, surely at this point those talks will be only a charade.
Neither side wants to be seen as the one walking away from the table. Johnson flirted with it in October, then chickened out.
Talks will technically continue but #NoDeal will be assured.

So whether the EU & UK say it openly tomorrow or not, I think by Monday we will know whether we are heading for #NoDealBrexit chaos in 17 days or not.
If there's no deal by tomorrow, businesses should assume this will remain the case. As much as they can, they should prepare.
