London and Brussels warm to Brexit ‘Israel option’
If Canada doesn’t work out, there’s always Israel.

Trade, spies and the perils of going it alone
At risk of accusations of “talking down Britain,” it nevertheless seems fair to observe that this was a week that highlighted the risks inherent in striking out alone in the world.
