I agree we just need to get it to work - worrying about what might have been is a fruitless waste of effort.
But in reading snippets of the EU and UK summaries it is clear they are skewed towards different audiences for obvious reasons.
The UK summary is all about what the UK has managed to successfully negotiate.
The EU summary is principally about what they have been able to deny the UK which would previously have been a benefit of membership.
Broadly, tomorrow we will all be worse off than we are today - travel, rights of residence, property ownership, increased import/export bureaucracy, limited recognition of professional qualifications, jobs ............. etc.
We won't know for 3 - 10 years (and probably not then) whether the immediate sacrifice we are obviously making has worked. The proof may be in the possible emergence of a new political group promoting Brentry to undo the damage caused by Brexit.
