Well, outside the Express ("EU as trading force under threat as Cyprus demands protected status for halloumi") there is no positive news, the only people who now don't realise that Brexit is a shitshow are keeping quiet (or talking among themselves, or are Tory MPs) and it's gone beyond wumming so it looks like an occasional bump is the proper course of action.
Oh, there's positive news alright, so far the UK is not conceding territory to the EU, or adopting their laws/rules, as a basis for discussion. Which means the EU is no longer dealing with some recalcitrant member of their corrupt, bloated organisation.
No, just being perfectly reasonable.
Should have got a couple of quid on it last summer when Boris said it was a million to one. Could have probably got half a million by cashing out now.

The most concerning thing about this is that we're heading for this crisis whether we have a trade deal or not. Why did no-one warn us?Love me a leaked memo :)
‘UK officials are urgently working to avoid a border crisis with the EU, according to a leaked memo.’
U.K. Races to Fix ‘Critical Gaps’ in Brexit Border Plan
Boris Johnson’s officials are urgently working to avert a major border crisis when the U.K. leaves the European Union’s trade regime, amid warnings vital government IT systems may not be ready in time.
I don’t think anyone will lump on at the current odds of 2/5. Preferred the 1000000/1 from last year.
It was very simple really. Is Britain going to kill off a good chunk of EU states' fishing industry when they haven't got the fleet to catch all the fish in our waters? (That could only be rectified by buying the redundant boats from the EU and crewing them with foreigners, which could not happen at all quickly). The inevitable outcome will be fish not caught, shortage of supply, and higher prices - and that, I suspect, will suit the UK east coast fishing corporations - same costs, higher profits. It won't suit the bits of the UK fishing industry that export most of their catch to the EU.
