More on the UK Times Brexit report, post is here:
UK Times front page: May agrees curbs on trade to break Brexit deadlock
- PM May is preparing to limit Britain's ability to agree free trade deals after Brexit
- A concession to the EU with the aim at breaking the deadlock in talks
- May said to propose a 'grand bargain" to keep the UK in the EU customs union on goods after the end of the transition period in December of 2020
This from a front page Times story

What this means is that the UK would extend its stay in the customs union but have its ability to reach trade agreement with other countries restricted for years after 2020. Also, goods the UK sends to Northern Ireland would need to meet EU standards.
In the short term such a proposal would increase a deal with the EU
