My previous post refers to this interview... positions are emerging slowly and painfully, but roughly as I'd predict (the level of SPS alignment will be an issue, but that will take some time to fully consider) https://bsky.app/profile/faisalislam.bsky.social/post/3lghw3sxk6s23

PEM convention doesn't cross red lines?
No it doesn’t… it’s not a customs union
q. and a full fat Veterinary agreement. Dynamic alignment with the EU, that doesn't cross the red lines?
No thats part of our manifesto, an SPS agreement, a veterinary agreement, yes.

Could work the other way but UK governments have not usually cared much what the EU thinks...
Something systemically odd about the UK political system that inclines to not listen to outsiders.
Not as long as nobody in the UK actually knows what's coming into it, or if what's made inside it actually meet UK standards.

Anything goes (little to no control on what reaches it to re-emerge from it) on GB market.
It's why it was so risky for & generous of the EU members to accept GB to NI control (open then to whole EU) by a non member.
They're more like our aspirations, like water quality in rivers and coastlines, that we in practice don't work to achieve.
