No Brexit trade deal unless UK keeps promises
"The UK faces a no-deal Brexit unless Boris Johnson keeps the promises he made when securing the withdrawal agreement, the EU’s chief negotiator has warned."
I'm sure that certain quitters will welcome that cliff edge...
But the EU are of course not wavering.
“We remember very clearly the text which we negotiated with Boris Johnson. And we just want to see that complied with. To the letter. And if that doesn’t happen there will be no agreement.”
And they are also being pragmatic and are able to point out the bleeding obvious.
"Mr Barnier said the negotiations were about “damage limitation”.
“Brexit is lose-lose. Nobody has been able to show there’s any added value to Brexit — not so far. Not even [Nigel] Farage."
"He added: “We are less exposed because 7 per cent of our exports go to the UK, whereas for the UK it’s 47 per cent of their exports which come to the EU."
Them's the facts, and the conclusion about 'any added value' is spot on.
The EU doesn't want to take a hit, but will do so to protect it's basic principles.
The UK will take a far bigger hit in order to further enrich just the few!
