Just picking one at random.

Isn't this a bit like stocking your ex and mimicking her/his behaviour? Man that's creepy with a side serving of mental health issues.

The whole thing is like staying in the Thistle Hotel Heathrow and not even being able to put it on expenses.

Today's the day that the Tories conclude that Brexit is not possible.

They can all resign tomorrow. Nobody will notice because the football's on.

Rumoured leak, points may be false:

1) "single standards model" with EU for goods

"We would make a continued commitment to the single standards model for goods so that where there
is an agreed European harmonised standard, the UK could not put forward any competing national standards.
A commitment to the single standards model would not be a barrier to accession to the comprehensive and progressive
agreement for trans-Pacific partnership.
However, it would not allow the UK to accommodate a likely ask from the US in a future trade deal.”

2) ongoing harmonisation with the EU, including agrifoods
3) A “common rulebook” with the EU for all goods
4) A pledge that British courts will follow European Court of Justice rulings “where relevant”

Sounds like not having your cake and not eating it.
