The European Union and the UK have agreed on a draft political declaration outlining aspirations for their future relationship — but fine detail on post-Brexit financial services rules is still lacking, according to leaked versions of the text.

The document has been “agreed between negotiators and agreed in principle at political level”, according to a tweet on November 22 from European Council president Donald Tusk. It is due for final sign-off at a summit on Sunday November 25.
