Leo Gerdén, a 22-year-old undergraduate from Sweden, remembers the day he received his admission letter to Harvard as the best day of his life.

Harvard earlier this year said it had taken many steps to address antisemitism, and that the government's demands were an effort to regulate the university's "intellectual conditions".David Davis who, as Brexit minister, led some of the original negotiations for the UK, told me fishing was "totemic" for Brussels.

Much of the fish caught by British fishermen is sold to buyers on the Continent and the UK needs access to that market.Some EU coastal states, like France and Denmark, are prepared to drive a hard bargain, demanding that London concedes on fishing rights in return for things it wants. Early on, even signing the Security Partnership was being linked to agreement on a fishing deal. The haggling will be tough.
