Most things in the negotiations have been agreed with a huge amount of good-will by the UK, only for the EU to change their mind on what was being offered when we agreed to them. The 39 billion was a good example, it was supposed to be in exchange for a Canada style trade deal, that Tusk offered and then took away.
EU and only the EU is to blame for mess they are in.
From January 1st this nonsense ends.

France takes 84 percent of the quota for cod in the English Channel while the UK is allowed only nine percent, according to Barrie Deas, the CEO of the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations.
He explained that the extortionate quotas need to be ironed out in a Brexit trade deal between the UK and EU. It comes as the bloc wants to see the status quo maintained for fishing access and quotas, but the UK Government wants Britain to have controls of its own waters.
