This is non-news.
I tend to agree but if the early indications are anything to go by, and I repeat the word 'if', there is a possibility of both parties coming to an early position of 'failure to reach agreement' and the inevitable consequence may well mean the UK simply walking away.

A lot will depend on what spin the media put on such a situation before it will become clear if the public are with or against the government on the matter.
