UK Brexit Negotiator David Frost on latest talks with the EU - “I regret... that we made very little progress towards agreement on the most significant outstanding issues between us".

UK negotiator David Frost - “The major obstacle to this is the EU’s insistence on including a set of novel and unbalanced proposals on the so-called “level playing field” which would bind this country to EU law or standards, or determine our domestic legal regimes".

Standard political declaration disclaimers apply of course - not legally binding yada yada yada

@robpowellnews @cannotbefussed

@robpowellnews Hi @DavidGHFrost , you probably should’ve read the agreement signed by your boss BEFORE you went into negotiations 🙄

@robpowellnews Boris now:

@robpowellnews @marvinperrott Who cares we won we make the rules. Unlucky remoaner

@robpowellnews What’s the problem? “...robust and comprehensive...good governanace...appropriate mechanisms...” it all sounds well within current UK Gov’s capabilities.

@robpowellnews Key points you’re missing:

@robpowellnews So where does it say, that the Level Playing field is based on EU rules? it's just "a level playing field" Like most you have to read these things, of course we would like to be, fair, equitable, reciprocal but guess what, the EU do not see it that way?

@robpowellnews I honestly don't think Boris Johnson read the Brexit agreement he signed. This is one of the reasons why he kept telling everyone that there will be no checks across the Irish sea.

@robpowellnews Well; if something was worth saying once, it is probably worth repeating. - So; here you go...

@robpowellnews It doesn't say anywhere in there that we follow the EU rules now does it, it doesn't state the ECJ with gover it. Font mislead people, it's unbecoming

@robpowellnews did sign up to LPF at a point in time, but not to "dynamic alignment" as EU subsequently asked.

@robpowellnews USA deal not possible because they would not be “ America First” under these conditions . # sham

@robpowellnews NOT LEGALLY BINDING
