The disastrous #brexit dinner

Jean-Claude Juncker has reportedly said May is ‘deluded’ and ‘in another galaxy’ after a disastrous #brexit dinner between the two. The dinner between the EU Commission President and UK Prime Minister took place in London last Wednesday, April 25th, with senior members of the UK and EU negotiating teams also present. German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine has now published an article showing just how badly the dinner went.

May to set out impossible #brexit agenda

ITV’s Robert Peston is reporting that Theresa May will unleash “commercial war” on the EU if it does not accept the UK government’s claims it is entitled to a bespoke arrangement that no other EU member has when it comes to staying in the EU Customs Union and accessing the Single Market.   On the morning after the referendum, we warned that “we face a #brexit agenda that is impossible to implement”.
