A tale in which it turns out that sovereignty is not the same as power.
@FT: "The Johnson government intends to set out its plans for how to use Britain’s new regulatory freedom to diverge from the bloc’s rules— including on financial services —but has yet to provide details."

How is it possible to declare "equivalent" unknown future regulations, particularly when the government who refuses to tell you what they will be simultaneously announces its wish to diverge from your own? “A series of further clarifications will be needed [from Britain]
In particular regarding how the UK will diverge from the EU framework after 31st December"the EU Commission said in an explanatory document on the trade deal issued on 24 December"
So no equivalence on 1st January...except in the 2 or 3 narrow fields where the EU decided it was in its interest to do so. Brillant result. How long before the UK declares it wont diverge significantly? #BritanniaChained #TakeBackControl
