2/ Acc to two well placed sources, there is a potential sequence involving the EU UK Joint Committee completing its work on the difficult issues of the Protocol which in turn will be tied to the conclusion of a Free Trade Agreement.

Fish was only ever cover for the true dispute.
— Stephen Kinsella (@Kinsellas) December 6, 2020
Fish wouldn’t impede a “Canada” deal.
But Canada without a robust LPF was never remotely likely.
Finally it’s getting real, but poss too late. We squandered 4 years with ridiculous posturing while our credibility leaked away.
Over the next few days we're going to be hearing a lot about how Brexit was all about the fish all along, aren't we? "Yep, that's what we voted for. Saving the fishermen. Nothing else. Job done"

If this was happening in any other country on earth we’d be calling it a basket case, a banana republic, a failed state. It’s happening in front of our eyes and the establishment calls it a national triumph.

This goes to the heart of the mess Jenkin and his fellow Brexit Ultras have created. A wholly naive and ignorant view of international relations, a wholly naive and ignorant view of sovereignty, and a wholly naive and ignorant view of both in relation to trade agreements. https://t.co/zQilIUj3wu

One business owner said: "It may well be that we can’t ship anything into the EU for a year because the CE mark that we have on our products is no longer valid. The fallout from this is going to be significantly worse than the worst predictions.”https://t.co/76lTM8w9zx

One of the strangest things about the terms of this Brexit is our apparent adoption of a collective national shrug to the prospect of serious economic damage and job loss, fragility and fear in N Ireland, looming Union break-up, medicine and food shortages & massive disruption.
