Oh, I remember the missing bit; it was a comment on a Dinner I had attended with some of the EU negotiators. The main point being that there was significant support for out demands form other countries.
Essentially whilst no one country supported everything we wanted, everything we wanted was supported by some countries.
They felt we held surprising clout and support and felt sure we would take advantage of that and out commanding position and wouldn't be stupid enough to just throw our Teddy Bear in the corner.
Hah!
