British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has skipped a planned news conference with Luxembourg's Prime Minister Xavier Bettel after he met European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to discuss Brexit.
Boris Johnson tried to laugh off yells, hisses and anti-Brexit cries of pro-EU demonstrators as he met Mr Bettel.But Mr Johnson laughed and smiled as he walked up to meet Mr Bettel with a handshake and head into the Ministry of State for discussions. Luxembourg's prime minister, speaking at his now solo press conference, said: "I know that the UK government is unhappy with the Withdrawal Agreement as it stands."We need more than just words."
"It's his responsibility. Your people, our people, count on you - but the clock is ticking, use your time wisely." Brexit Gamble: Boris Johnson and the NI-only backstop Mr Bettel, answering questions from reporters, said: "For me I just have one Withdrawal Agreement on the table and it's the one from last year.
Asked about offering the UK an extension to the transition period, Mr Bettel said what people wanted was certainty."As long as they don't know what is going to happen they don't know what will be their own future.
tconnellyRTE Meanwhile in 10 Downing Street... Boris Johnson is asking if they can't just send in a gunboat, like in the good old days when continentals supposedly knew their place

tconnellyRTE All bluff and waffle from BoZo. DUPleader Backstop is still on the table.
tconnellyRTE This line really is tiresome. You don’t design a building with speaking to the client about what they want. This issue requires both sides to look at designing a solution and this game of “its all your fault so we’re not helping” is damaging business
BorisJohnson Xavier_Bettel Bravo Mr Bettel! A perfect example of a true Statesman! Articulate, intelligent, truthful, courageous, courteous, and passionate telling the brexeteers exactly what they didn't want to hear! That they lied and misled the people of the UK! In contrast bojo...cut and ran!

BorisJohnson Xavier_Bettel We all know the Back Stop can't be moved it's not going to happen that's why BorisJohnson is pushing for it so hard, he knows on that alone Brexit negotiations will fail, what will totally gut him is if they find a solution to it.
