Rishi Sunak started the week in the green lane heading for a deal and ended up trapped in the red lane with no clear path out, writes political editor endamcclafferty
But any changes will come in the form of new legislation "overlaying" what has gone before both in London and Brussels.Nuances like that matter when it comes spinning and disguising compromises if we ever reach the point of a deal.There is real concern among some less vocal Tories that a deal which was within touching distance could slip through their grasp.
"There are some on our back benches who are certifiable and Mr Sunak needs to stand up to them" said one frustrated Tory. The daily calls with European Commission Vice-President Maros Sefcovic on the surface suggest Brussels is being squeezed for more concessions, but equally it could be for the optics ahead of a deal being agreed next week.He cannot sit on a deal which provides much needed remedies for businesses struggling under the burden of the Northern Ireland Protocol.That may include taking back control of state aid, VAT and other tax breaks in Northern Ireland which, under the protocol, fell to Brussels.
