A heads up for a speech due from Paul Drechsler, president of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) on Monday UK time
- Most British firms will delay investment, cut recruitment plans unless a Brexit transition deal is agreed early next year
- Drechsler said there was "exasperation" at the lack of progress, criticised the fact that Theresa May had still not held a full cabinet discussion on the final Brexit deal
- "I couldn't believe that any team of people would take on a mission of this scale without considering it in detail in terms of the pros, cons, costs and benefits - nobody could embark on the biggest deal of their life without considering it in the boardroom"
