Vuelio Brexit Bulletin, 21st July

As Brexit negotiations continue this week, we bring you the latest news, developments and stakeholder reaction in our Brexit Bulletin.  The stakeholder community takes center stage this week, as the Government seeks to engage with business leaders voicing concerns over an uncertain future. 

• The second round of negations have kicked off this week. While attention was initially focussed on David Davis’ lack of briefing notes at a photo opportunity on Monday, the real hurdle now seems to be a lack of detail around key issues.
• The Cabinet continues to show division: after a week of leaks focussing on Phillip Hammond, key figures in the Conservative party are calling for unity, or as Michael Fallon has put it, ‘’military discipline’’.
• One area the Cabinet has agreed on is that of a ‘transitional period’. While the exact time frame is yet to be decided, both the Times and the Guardian have suggested this could include a continuation of freedom of movement, leaving open the possibility of free market access as well.
