If there is no progress, we could just walk away.

There's certainly no mood for compromise from Britain as the government set out its plan for the Brexit talks, which begin in Monday.

On Monday in Brussels with the U, the British team will tell the you that they want a free trade agreement on similar terms to Canada.

The core demand is that the UK should have control of it, own laws and political life with absolutely no role for the European Court of Justice on.

They threatened that if a broad outline of a deal isn't clear by June, they could walk out and focus solely on getting ready for Britain's exit from the transition at the end of this year.

That would mean trading with the U on W t o terms.

Our political editor, Gary Given reports two days after the U negotiation plan, the UK one has landed on the negotiating table and before the two sides even sit at the table right at the front of the UK document a threat tow walk away as soon as June if Britain feels there isn't sufficient progress in the talks at the heart of the disagreement between these two outlooks.

European Union concern that post Brexit Britain could start producing goods on the cheap, maybe even with state aid.

Europe doesn't want a giant competitors on its doorstep and repeatedly in here makes reference to wanting a level playing field.

There are 13 mentions of that phrase in here.

The whole objective of doing what we're doing is so the UK conduce things differently on better.

But the crucial thing for our friends and partners to understand is that we don't This is this is a great country with the highest possible standards for the environment, for animal welfare, for social protection, for workers, right?

Of course, we're not going to engage in some race to the bottom.

The UK document repeatedly says it wants the you to do for Britain what it did in trade deals with Japan, South Korea and Canada in full knowledge that the you seize it very differently, wants to make sure that if Britain diverges big time from you rules, it gets punished big time.

In terms of trade restrictions and tariffs, trade talks are normally all about moving closer to each other's way of doing things.

This one is about giving Britain the power to do things differently.

They know they'll need to compromise, but they're not really sure what that compromise looks like, because their future that divergence isn't so clear is traditional trade negotiation to you know what you're aiming for throughout the process that you said we could give you a deal like Canada.

It's just we're gonna ask more of you and then it's fine.

To be honest, you don't care if it's fair or not.

Michael Gold was asked whether Britain would actually move away from you.

Rules isn't the danger here that having made this choice, the government imposes economic consequences for the long term on the country in pursuit off the prize of a sovereignty, which it ends up not using very much because at the end of the day, good standards in environmental and labor, market and consumer sectors actually make sense.

I do take his point on it will be for this part of the future partners to decide how our sovereignty is exercised in accordance with wish off the British people.

The government now open the acknowledges its approach means border delays and costs.

And those costs will be even greater if no deal is agreed on the future relationship.

It is a negotiation, though you will have to make some concessions.

But at the beginning you would expect a tough line, absolutely no compromise at all.

But in the end, it always is a compromise.

The question is he's going to compromise.

And if we look at the recent history of what we've seen on the table is the UK has compromised quite a lot and they use compromised a little.

Let's see if that pattern continues tonight.

A reception ahead of ST David's Day, government notes to Tory MPs warned them not to use the phrase no deal.

 Starting next week, businesses could be staring at that prospect again a few months from now.
