This is the Week for an agreement between the UK and the EU - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " David Frost has declared that this week is make-or-break for trade talks with the EU if the UK is to avoid leaving the transition period with no deal. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog thinks the most important development today was the fact that the PM has stated that a deal has to be done by October 15th otherwise the UK will leave on a NO DEAL BREXIT, or Australian terms as stated by the PM.  Thus the EU NOW knows that it must deal this week or lose any chance of talks.  There were reports that the President of the EU would stand down the Brussels head of the EU delegation and that the EU leaders would take over, the EU President must act quickly or they could lose a trade deal with the UK. The date for that was September 16, the EU might not have the time they think, this is not the May Government and PM Johnson's might not give the time the EU wants, the starting gun has gone off, let's see who blinks first.

What the UK wants from the EU ? - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " UK chief negotiator calls for 'realism' from EU "

Lets Get Real:

The UK has to be FIRM with the EU, the EU is trying to treat the UK like a former colony, we might be a lot of things, but we are not a colony of the EU.  The two main sticking points are fish in our waters and and a level playing field, that means that the EU would have a say on UK supporting business after the COVID - 19 pandemic.  The UK is a Sovereign State, our waters and thus our fish, that is not open for debate, while a sovereign has a say on what business it supports.   These endless talks are going nowhere, time to cut bait and to tell the EU, that we are going for a NO DEAL BREXIT, also that the EU will get half of the promised divorce bill.  The German tax paper will not be happy if it has to support the other weak nations of the EU.  MONEY TALKS.
