Good list. I'm pleased that Therese May has finally clarified most of the UK's positions.
It was interesting to see her repeating the threat that Philip Hammond had made to try and turn the UK into a tax haven if the EU's position didn't meet her expectations and this was picked up by the journalist from El Pais who asked her if it was Britain's weapon in negotiations. I'm not sure of the benefit of her mentioning this; is she trying to sound strong?
