The Guardian focuses on the EU’s rejection of a pitch by the UK government to create a single market for goods. It says the Cabinet official, Michael Ellam, presented the idea in order to deepen economic cooperation with the bloc, but instead officials in Brussels suggested the UK rejoin the European Economic Area and accept freedom of movement, which Sir Keir Starmer has said won’t happen. The BBC reported that the government did not confirm the specifics of any conversations, but acknowledged that a range of options were put to the EU in recent months and conversations are ongoing.
