German leader signals trade compromise less likely as she hardens tone on no-deal Brexit

The UK will have to “live with the consequences” of Boris Johnson ditching Theresa May’s plan to maintain close economic ties with the EU after Brexit, Angela Merkel has said, hardening her tone over the prospect of a no-deal scenario at the end of the year.

Auf Widersehen Pet. You are still shaking and that's not fair.

Because Germany strong ties with China 🇨🇳 makes you more noble ? Come on Merkel.... BILD zeitung DIEZEIT DieZeitungen

China is using our media and social network to brainwash our kids, Angela Merkel what's wrong with you , can you see it !

I think that was the purpose of Brexit... Though unity would have been better

Perhaps this has something to do with it. I wonder if we'd still have been stuck with Brexit if this had been on a bus. European nations' biggest trading partners (source: )

What EU?

Bore off The Guardian

We are leaving the Fourth Reich.

Suck it up and own it you Flagwankers and gammons.

She's right. We're wrong. The End.

Let’s be honest here, Merkel’s statement is disingenuous. EU doesn’t want “ties” with UK. EU wants control. There’s a big difference.

Hmm. 'EU27' is now meaningless shortcut. I'm surprised some people are still using it.

The UE should cut the daft bastards loose and not look back.

Being free and richer. Fuck me that’s a hard pill to swallow 😂

Excellent. I'll await the reaction of the NE when their car factory closes. They voted for it after all.

Happy with that. 👍🏻🇬🇧

We are living with Angela Merkel opening up borders, this will be how she is remembered. She is responsible for all the terrorist attacks Europe has suffered, so nobody cares about weaker ties to the eu. The damage, murders and rapes are still happening.

I’m sure the UK is devastated not to be on the hook as a liquidity tap to help fund the survival of over leveraged destroyed banks like Deutsche. This is utter progadanda when you understand the real game being played by the money masters

In Scotland we voted to stay in. I hope we find a way to stay in or route our way back into the EU as brexit is by far one of the most idiotic results I've experienced. Ending the freedom of movement is just farcical

Ok, no problem, we will...

AlenaGermangirl It’s the people who will suffer

Yes please.😂😂😂😂

.... and Bojo will be able to blame it on Covid when it all goes down the pan as it surely will

Shake rattle and role Angela! We will survive!

Brexiters don’t really care... they are all socially disturbing! 😂

Covid has just accelerated BorisJohnson plan to killtheuk

All the states in Europe are fully aware that because of Covid_19 & the effects it has had on trade & business, it will see a recession as bad as in the 1930! Yet we have a PM BorisJohnson who is either ignorant or fucking stupid talking about timtams! SoupKitchenUK

This is rich being as she is in the same ERG club as BorisJohnson and the two of them are in bed with DonaldTrump; which means when he and his mob say jump. They are more than willing to jump beyond what he says.

No ties thanks

Bluffing works until someone says ‘check’ Looks like this moment is coming Boris.

Ok understood and we will live with the consequences of being a free Nation. Thanks so much for the warning, we will cope with the transition to our freedom and independence. Stay safe now and we’ll see you on holidays as always x

Typical loony left wing anti-Semitic newspaper article! The Guardian as well as the daily Mirror are both Labour party newspapers. Is it any wonder why they are printing such rubbish?

Blackmail doesn’t work. UK gonna be fine

Yes I think we manage thank you.

boo hoo poor e u now

K, laters babe

It is funny how defensive some of the comments from Brexiteers here are: Merkel just says what they want. They just do not realise it. Merkel says: if Britain wants to chart its own way, then this will lead to lesser ties. Anyone disagree with that?

Brexit means Brexit. We hold all the cards. We will have the exact same benefits of membership. The easiest deal in history. The world is waiting to do deals with us. Lies upon lies.

THANK YOU, ANGELA.

YOU'VE BEEN DOING FABUOLUS JOB GRANDIOSELY, DEAR ANGELA. I THANK YOU.

The EU owes us nothing. The UK stormed out of the party in a huff, insulted the guests & threw up in the flower bed but now expects to control the playlist

She’s say we like she just pretends to be in charge. Everyone knows the only country that runs the Eu is Germany

FINALLY Angela Merkel dons her strap-on as the apocalyptic buttchugging UK's been trying to outrun for years comes due 🤣🤣

Seems an obvious fact to state, consequence better,? worse? Everyone has an opinion, the only constant is that nobody knows.Undoubtedly a leap in the dark but it is what it is. Personally,as it stands,I think the risks involved far outweigh any potential benefit. Just don't know

She literally just now grasped what Brexit means, not having things decided for us by the EU. Only took her 4 years, guess she isn't all that bright 🤡

Why do I have a distinctive feeling that the UK may either rejoin the EU or negotiate for a permanent partnership in the next 10 years.

We are fine with that, now sod off Angela! SodEU

It’s almost as if they have something more important to worry about. Purely due to the scale of the problems we’ve become an irrelevance already. Still, 0.16% extra trade with the USA should keep us afloat...

For sure. That’s exactly what UK have chosen for.

No problem with that Angela, if I were you I'd be looking over your shoulder at the BMW workers. Our only consequence is learning how to neuter the remainiacs who can't accept democracy.

We will

Weaker ties!...good our hands have been bound tight enough for too long!

Isn't that what we voted for? Sounds good to me.

😞

Daddy USA and Britain's former colonies will save desperate Brexit Britain 🇺🇸👍

Uk 🇬🇧 will be a hell of a lot stronger out of EU all you have given UK is a lot of heart ache 😖 now we are free thank God.

Brexit was no simple decision to make. To be honest with you, I think Teresa May was doing a better job. Boris Johnson's pseudo-patriotic attitudes have just made things worse with other European leaders. There can be no compromise without establishing a cordial dialogue first.

Is that Sturgeon's twin?

That’s if the EU survives after all this , France wanting to leave , crippled economy in every country 🤷‍♂️

I thought weaker ties was the whole point of Brexit.

If anyone out there thinks Boris is going to make a good job of this just take a look at the shower of shit that is coronavirus, it really couldn’t have been handled worse. We’ll look like a third world country in 3 years time.

You can turn that around Merkel because you ain’t going to get anymore of taxpayers cash so up yours.

Delusional pensioner

What about those of us that had it forced upon us against our will?

KenCostlow She has it backwards. the EU has to live with the consequences of weaker ties to the UK. It may be hard for a while, but I suspect in the long run, the UK will enjoy being a truly sovereign nation again. Nobody should rule the British but the British themselves.

both sides have to live with the consequences. I do thank the German chancellor for pointing out the obvious however.

Inevitable consequences I imagine of enormous importance. It's a shame, something of a tragedy

Oh no, what will we do without EU? Europe does not need a bunch of bureaucrats squeezing them dry. Each country has its own bunch of bureaucrats, they don't need more.

Yep, it's what I voted for. Good riddance to an expensive irrelevance.

The EU are about to experience extreme financial difficulties, trying to persuade the leeching countries to accept less handouts, and Germany/France to pump in more to try keep it all afloat.

chenweihua time for real BREXIT

EU must learn to live without contributions from UK

Reading brexiter comments re-enforce they were fooled or are fools.

By Felicia

We’ll be just fine Without the EU, and the Guardian.

Sisyphe

EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY EFFECTIVE LEADERS make decisions that inspires others to follow them & achieve good health wellbeing in overcoming difficulties.

is that just a photo? Where is MERKEL? Can you please show footage of MERKEL saying this?

No problem. Next...?

Reading some of the Brexit supporting responses to this, I cannot but wonder how bad our education system must be for failing so badly.

Imagine saying this to someone who wants to leave you and start a new life. 😂 They'd think you were a bit of a narcissistic psycho.......which you would be.

Goodbye then!

but stronger ties with an even larger trading bloc

“For countries which are already heavily in debt, more borrowing makes less sense than grants” So, getting yourself (stupidly) into debts for years and years now is an argument to be more lenient? huh

The EU must live with the consequences of rabid expansionism at the expense of fiscal oversight.

Yes we know! That’s fine! Move along Brexit

Worse than that we’ve got to live with Boris Johnson

Well, she better tell the German public, it be them picking up the tab, from us leaving. You can't expect the poorer countries to pay in and the French people won't tolerate it. But to all remainers, the EU don't need our money 👍

Or put another way the EU must live with the consequences of weaker ties to the UK and find some where else to get their fish Brexit

Yes We'll get over it

It’s democracy stupid.

Yes please, can we have no ties

And out they come.

Live with the consequences of being free of the shackles of an unelected technocracy that was costing us upwards of £10 billion a year? Of distancing ourselves from a crumbling, outdated political bloc which is facing trillions upon trillions of debt over the next decade? Okay 😊

Strange, I could have sworn she was the Chancellor of Germany and not the leader of the EU commission.

We were sold a lie. And it’s consequences are yet to be experienced along every brick of the ‘red’ wall.

😂 yep. 1) no EU mass migration. 2) no massive EU fees. 3) free to set our own rules and remove tariffs from non EU imports .... so hard for us

ЕС это балтийские котята что-ли? Или может Германия и Франция?

Amazing how no one has told Merkel that we hold all the cards yet.

Yes, they chose to leave us.

this was the case for Brexit

Merkel the best leader Europe has seen for Decades. Long may it last.

And Germany must live with a much larger bill for their precious EU 😂

Consequences? That word doesn't exist in Brexiteer lingo.
