The sheer ineptitude of the Brexit negotiation is remarkable. Despite having the precedent of David Davis' impact assessments behind them, the government has contrived to release its White Paper in such a way as to maximise the controversy about them.
Incidentally I am amused to see that Jacob Rees Mogg has floated the idea of an humble address to get the Davis draft of the White Paper released. This was the tactic used over the impact assessments. Back then Rees Mogg appeared to back the release before backing off. Now he wants to repeat with the saga with the White Paper, but it may well be that the draft White Paper in its David version may well be released anyway. In which case, I shall be interested in seeing whether David ever had a real plan.
