European Commission President Jean Claude Juncker speaking ahead of a parliament meeting on Brexit
- It’s too early to start phase two of Brexit talks
- UK cannot go over Bariner’s head in talks (says the man who does just that at every opportunity
- Speeches are not positions (more pot calling the kettle black)
- There’s still too much of a lack of clarity over Brexit
No reaction in the quid from these comments and we’ll probably hear plenty of them today from EU parliament.
Comments up now from Barnier;
- Have not yet reached sufficient progress on divorce talks
- There are still serious divergences on financial settlements
- Wants an ambitious trade deal with UK post-Brexit
May up now on the wireless;
- Some things on Brexit can be settled in less than 2 years
And how’s this for cheeky? EU’s Weber has asked May to sack Boris Johnson. Talk about sticking your nose in.

Politicians, all they are thinking about is their own careers, their ambitions and headlines. Brixt will never happen there are just too many influential people against it….like the majority of European politicians and the majority of UK members of parliament, not to mention corporate business. They will drag out negotiations until everyone is sick of it and the uncertainty caused by complicated rhetoric and mishandled negotiations damages the UK economy sufficiently to persuade the electorate that we are better served remaining in the EU. Sad point is that it could take 5 years, funny enough that is just about the time for an election.
Hi John
Brexit will happen but the rest of what you say is spot on. There will be arguments galore but a deal will get done and it will be beneficial to both sides, as both sides can’t afford it not to be. All the thing’s they are arguing over a 5 year old could resolve. It’s all about saving face.
