Real question is is there proof that this is a legitimate document? It could be written by anyone. Maybe that's why the media ignored it.

Well, considering that Corbyn just put it out and he's a member of the privy counsel and that Boris hasn't denied it, it's safe to say it's legit.

It was seen by the Telegraph back in July and there are so many named attendees on the HMG side probably real.

Has this been confirmed as the actual document as everyone is writing about the link? Can anyone explain why there is a use of contractions when this is not advised for UK government reports and why the language is informal at times?

I agree, and your comment just hit on something else I couldn't grasp in my earlier comment ^. This reads like an amended document of a variety of sources from other trade talks - probably unrelated.

Probably waiting on confirmation before reporting it. That, and waiting for BJ to state his position on the NHS to maximise damage to his credibility.
