British government demands compromise - from the EU, obviously. Not us.
The latest negotiations in Brussels on an EU-UK trade and security deal have broken up early, with the EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, complaining of a lack of respect and engagement by the British government.
The two sides ended the week’s talks – the first held in person since February – a day ahead of the jointly agreed schedule amid evident frustration at the lack of progress in bridging what both Barnier and his UK counterpart, David Frost, described as “serious” disagreements.
“Our goal was to get negotiations successfully and quickly on a trajectory to reach an agreement,” Barnier said in a statement. “However, after four days of discussions, serious divergences remain.”
Our people seem to think this is some grisly kind of poker, the EU are bluffing and only have a king high to our full house.
It's nonsense. The EU now hold all the cards having spent the last 4 years diligently working on deals to cover any lost trade from Brexit. They simply won't miss us.
Brexit was built on soft sand.
