I suspect this will be lost in #BrexitDeal coverage. While this isn't #NoDealBrexit, it is a #HardBrexit.
”This will be as hard a Brexit as anything but no deal, and much harder than might have been expected after the relatively narrow referendum result"

The 'hard' and 'soft' terms seem to have gotten warped over the past 4 years (especially, I notice, in US media).
After 2016 referendum Theresa May had to choose: soft Brexit (Norway), semi-hard Brexit (Turkey), or hard Brexit (Morocco). She chose the latter, hoping for an FTA.

The #BrexitDeal leaves UK as the only Western European country outside the EU single market.
Listening to @BorisJohnson's presser, you'd be forgiven for thinking the UK was *joining* the EU rather than leaving - such was his focus on benefits of supposedly zero-tariff trade.

An enormous change is coming in 7 days. This deal only cushions the blow.
It's understandable Johnson wanted a happy, triumphant Christmas presser. But he didn't prepare people for what's coming.
This is the reality of what UK is about to suddenly lose:
