Lord Frost and Mr Barnier blamed the break-down in the talks on "significant divergences on level playing field, governance, and fisheries".
The level playing field refers to state subsidies and standards: the EU fears that Britain could become a low-regulation economic rival, cutting standards and heavily subsidising its industries.
Britain, meanwhile, wants to "take back control" from Brussels and set its own economic policies.

Fair play to the government for standing their (our) ground as the EU maintain their demand for access to our fisheries and subservience to their rules post Brexit.

The EU want us as their Vassal state and don't seem to understand that we want freedom from their Superstate and control over our future , Emmanuel Macron has threatened to Veto any deal that doesn't meet with his (and his fishermen's) approval so the chances of a deal succeeding even if it is reached seem slim , the EU seem set to cut off their nose to spite their face.
This is Britain , we will prevail.

Sometimes when I read about the lag in Brexit, it reminds me of negotiating with your spouse after you have filed for divorce.
WTO says leaving on WTO terms is a bad idea.
Fishing rights is a red herring (pun intended). The whole sector is worth less than Edinburgh University and exports most of its product.
The integrity of the Single Market is worth more to the EU than their exports to us. We're on the outside looking in.
I'm old enough to remember when we were "The Sick Man of Europe". Looks like we're heading that way again.
