‘We will not agree to any obligations for our laws to be aligned with the EU’s,’ document says.

Last Thursday the UK unveiled its negotiating strategy for a trade deal with the EU — but warned that preparations to end the Brexit transition period without an agreement would begin immediately.

Downing Street's document titled "The Future Relationship With the EU" lays out negotiating aims on things like fishing and financial services, as well as controversial "level playing field" rules, which would set out the extent to which the U.K. must align to EU regulations in exchange for market access.
