yes, angela merkel's intervention is significant but as significant as emmanuel macron's intervention today, and both sides really are speaking to their own parliament in terms of german car manufacturing. it's incredibly important that a deal is struck. but i mean, we really need to see how those redlines are going to see how those redlines are going to shift now. we are hearing similar about this demand for a tenure transition period or fisheries. in that really has been, along with a level playing field, perpetually one of the great sticking points with the offering of 18% of access to our owi'i the offering of 18% of access to our own fishing markets. and so a tenure transition period is never going to be palatable, and certainly not be palatable to the brexiteers who held the government to ransom in the past oversimilar the government to ransom in the past over similar issues. let's talk about pubs, something close to our hearts and many of us have not been able to go for quite some time. many of us still can't, of course. backed with some celebrities to see the £2 billion super
