Apparently another Theresa May climbdown.

I doubt that Mrs May was personally responsible.

That's good news.
Next climb-down will be on EU citizens arriving after implementation period.

Or the next good news is that the transition period will NOT have an END date.

Below is a link to Politicos analysis of the EUs drafted withdrawal agreement.
It is detailed unlike the skim we have in the Guardian and the Daily Mail.

Do remember Politico appears to be against Brexit although since the referendum they have gained a huge following. So I ill wind etc.

Bloomberg highlighted this piece of good news.
Remember Bloomberg is Pro Business and Possibly Brexit neutral.

Trademark Position | Owners of EU-wide trademark and design registrations should automatically get equivalent rights in the U.K. after the countrys withdrawal from the bloc is finalized, according to Wednesdays draft treaty. The texts section on intellectual property addresses a main concern for holders of EU-wide IP registrations, such as trademarks, designs and plant variety rights.

Although they also said this.

Shutting Up Shop | Brexit may have contributed to two more victims on the U.K.s shopping streets. Toys ;R Us U.K. unit and electronics chain Maplin collapsed into the British equivalent of bankruptcy protection, deepening a retail crisis prompted by the rise of online shopping and worsened by the pounds plunge after the vote to leave the EU.

Car Damage | Notwithstanding the reassuring news from Toyota, theres nothing good to come from exiting the EU for the U.K. auto industry, leaving the government only one option: limiting the damage. Thats the view of an impact assessment from the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee published on Thursday, which urges Prime Minister Theresa May and her cabinet to take a pragmatic; approach to negotiations with Brussels.

For those who want a good laugh at a mover and shaker and surely that means us all
From Bloomberg again.

QUOTE
Many in the European Commission believe President Jean-Claude Junckers chief of staff, Martin Selmayr, can do no wrong. The German hit the headlines when he was propelled into the job of Commission secretary-general, the bodys top civil-servant post, after originally just applying for the role of deputy.

But nobodys perfect. As Brussels website EU Observer reports, a publicity photo of Selmayr sitting at his desk to mark the start of his new role reveals a long list of mobile-phone numbers of commissioners and their chiefs-of-staff on a sheet of paper pinned to the wall behind him.

Theresa May will be hoping confidential information remains more intact when it comes to Brexit. As part of his new role, Selmayr is in charge of drawing up contingency plans for a collapse in the negotiations.

Why would that matter when supposedly no-one from the EU wants to come to the doom-laden mess which the UK supposedly will become?

It doesn't need to become a doom-laden mess if we get the right brexit outcome i.e. 'Brexit in name only' also known as BRINO

Saw a decent piece in the FT yesterday, mentioning how the UK had probably surrendered some negotiating power by allowing the EU to prepare a draft withdrawal agreement first, as that will likely now become the starting point for any future negotiations.

Amazing the amount of furore over the Irish border question yesterday, the EU isn't saying what is in the document is the final answer to that issue, but are still waiting to hear sensible proposals from Britain that will avoid the need to follow that path.

It is still hard to see how the UK can address the border issue given the numerous self imposed redlines they have boxed themselves in with, it was a problem in December and nothing much has changed since then.
