The latest round of formal Brexit negotiations will get underway on Tuesday, with the most recent source reports painting a mixed picture re: the mood ahead of the talks. Comments from UK chief Brexit negotiator Frost contained hints of optimism, but the underlying accusatory finger pointing at the EU remains evident. The aim of the upcoming discussions is to set a more constructive tone ahead of the European Council summit, scheduled for 15-16 October. The schedule for the latest round of discussions can be viewed below.
- At home, political backlash re: the COVID backdrop and recently imposed round of virus-related restrictions continues to provide headwinds for UK Prime Minister Johnson, whether that be from within his own party, party backers, the opposition or the public.
- COVID-19 matters continue to provide headwinds re: Johnson's popularity, with the latest Opinium/Observer opinion poll putting the opposition Labour party ahead of the ruling Conservatives. This is the first such instance witnessed since pre-election times, albeit from a poll sponsored by a left leaning newspaper. Elsewhere on the polling front, Deltapoll's latest offering for the Mail on Sunday has the Tories 4 points ahead of Labour, with the former losing 2 points vs. a poll sponsored by the same outlet in mid-July.
