LONDON - The EU's chief Brexit negotiator said in an interview to be published on Thursday that he was unimpressed by threats of no-deal Brexit but that if the United Kingdom opted for such a course it would have to face the consequences.
“I think that the UK side, which is well informed and competent and knows the way we work on the EU side, knew from the very beginning that we’ve never been impressed by such a threat," Barnier said."It’s not useful to use it”. If Johnson wins, the three-year Brexit crisis could deepen as the EU has refused to countenance changing the Withdrawal Agreement and the British parliament could try to block a no-deal Brexit.EU Commission's first vice-president, Frans Timmermans, told the BBC that UK ministers were"running around like idiots" when they arrived to negotiate Brexit in 2017.
