The Future Relationship White Paper was published yesterday (HERE). At 104 pages it’s quite a document and I confess I haven’t read it in detail but I have skimmed quickly through and first impression is that there is an awful lot of repetitive waffle and warm meaningless verbiage. It does not compare favourably with EU Notices to Stakeholders which are generally short, concise and well written. But a year too late, it finally appears.

THE WHITE PAPER
The government's white paper on the future relationship is due to be published today. This report on ITV HERE points to the huge difficulties the government have had in getting it published at all - after fifteen months! Apparently, there has been a big internal battle between the civil service negotiators and ministers at DEXEU over who is responsible for the white paper's contents. After nine different versions have been worked on, It now seems the negotiators have won and produced a slimmer (still 100 pages) paper which they believe is more likely to be acceptable to the EU. At least somebody is thinking straight.
