Good morning from the newsroom of the Financial Times.

Today is Monday, February 3rd,

Democratic candidates are gearing up for the first election of the 2020 presidential primary

regulatory alignment.

There will need to be commitments to make sure the UK can undercut the EU on

competitions, state aid and rules for goods production.
