Bloomberg now reporting as I did last month that the UK government is ready to sign up for dynamic alignment on food and drink regulations.
Though detailed negotiations will be rather challenging. And EU doesn't yet have a mandate.

Chilling warning from Fiona Hill - let's not forget, Putin's biographer before she went to work for Trump in his first term. She knows the signs of growing authoritarianism, and she sees them in the US now.
Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.
