Notably, nothing of substance has come from the UK team to date and I look forward to seeing what our official position will be. I would hope something will be in the Conservative manifesto but I suspect not, especially if it's a 'soft' approach. Also of note is that the only thing we have heard on the official government position is through the leak to FAZ which the government s not happy about but have not denied is a true picture apart from 'not recognising'.

I think you'll find everything's on hold until after the election. How can the UK team negotiate anything until they know which party is in power and what the elected PM puts forward.
Admittedly it may be a forgone conclusion that May will get in again but until it happens perhaps
this may give you a clue.
