We can only hope it’s the option to keep it as a negotiating piece. After the Chagos flak the idea of “giving things away” may be anathema*.

*If you can have obdurate, I can have anathema**.

**And yes I’m being pedantic about its usage.

Good question. Everyone’s after folk who voted for Brexit and they’re old, so maybe he’s scared of annoying them?

I'm of the opinion it's an intentional tactic. Once the Conservatives know they can never win without at least being pro Single Market the game is up.

Quite frustrating that you keep pushing articles that are behind a paywall
