The European Union was offering Britain a “Canada plus plus plus” arrangement, Tusk told reporters after meeting the Irish prime minister, explaining Britain could have not just a free trade accord like that with Canada but also extremely close relations in security, foreign policy and other areas.
“The EU wants a relationship with the UK that is as close and special as possible,” Tusk said. “From the very beginning, the EU offer has been not just a Canada deal, but a Canada plus plus plus deal. Much further-reaching on trade, on internal security and on foreign policy cooperation.”
THIS is what Boris must negotiate on and around. If he does, 'no deal' may not be necessary.
It certainly beats May's surrender deal!
Just one problem, though. It would be dependent on a solution being found to the Irish 'backstop'.
