30 days to ditch the backstop: Angela Merkel holds out prospect of new Brexit deal

Boris Johnson stole the limelight from Angela Merkel by uttering one of her election slogans in German, writes Justin Huggler in Berlin. The Prime Minister broke into halting Deutsche as he stood next to Mrs Merkel\u0027s in the Chancellery - the equivalent of 10 Downing Street. Mr Johnson said: 'We want a deal and we expect a deal and I think we\u0027re going to get one,' Mr Johnson said.

I thought the backstop was an EU demand so is it not their problem not ours shouldn’t Boris be giving them 30 days to come up with a solution another weak PM it seems

Why is it Mrs M sets the deadlne? The EU will not shift. The only option left appears to be “Leave on WTO”.

I think you'll find that Merkel was talking about finding solutions to avoid invoking the backstop (ie political declaration). She wasn't inferring that the WA could be renegotiated.

She opened a door that will slap shut Johnson in the face. She knows that what has not been delivered in 3 years won’t be delivered within the next 30 days. She outsmarted Johnson.

Were leaving

Wow. Shock horror!! Finally we have a PM who means business and within weeks the EU are buckling and starting to see they’ve got no choice.

I heard before that she was a shrewd politician but I didn’t realise why until now. BJ is such an amateur compared to her.

It's almost like you lot just write what Boris Johnson tells you to....... Oh wait

It took Boris Johnson thirty seconds to try to get Angela Merkel to take the blame for his own failings. It didn't work.Johnson came to Berlin to demand the impossible and state the palpably untrue. No one swallowed a word of it She's spat out bigger peanuts Instead she ran rings around him. It took her 2 seconds to rebuff him. She’s WAY smarter than him!
