The article discusses the UK government's post-Brexit negotiation strategy, emphasizing self-imposed limitations that restrict options. There's dissatisfaction from both Brexit hardliners and critics who believe the changes are either too moderate or insufficiently ambitious. Sir Keir Starmer suggests that most people are looking for minor upgrades rather than drastic changes. While government officials express optimism about trade agreements, including the one with the US, they're criticized for lacking depth. The acceptance of 'dynamic alignment' underlines ongoing tensions over compliance with evolving EU regulations even post-Brexit.
