The UK Telegraph had a bit of a breathless headline earlier:
MPs told to be ready to vote on possible Brexit trade deal next week (may be gated)
- Britain and the EU moved closer to a compromise on fisheries on Monday
- The Government tabled an 11th-hour proposal that would see the bloc slash the value of its fishing catch in UK waters by roughly a third over a transition period of five years, it was claimed, down from an initial demand to cut it by 60 per cent over three years.
- EU negotiators have held out for a reduction of just 25 per cent over a seven-year transition, according to reports. The bloc initially tabled a cut of 18 per cent over 10 years.
- However, an EU official speaking about the UK's latest offer told The Telegraph: "It's still a no from us."

This is likely to stretch on for some time yet.
