Nothing much will happen in Brexit negotiations, if anything at all, until the G7 summit in Biarritz in three weeks' time, and the UK is heading for a no-deal exit.
Bluntly, Mr Frost and Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay have said negotiations require the Irish backstop to be jettisoned, and the EU have said no.Furthermore, they have spotted what they say is the conscious UK strategy of trying to isolate and pressurise Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, and wanted to send a message from the rest of the EU27 of absolute support for Dublin.
But this went well beyond just the backstop - the set of policies designed to maintain the absence of a border on the island of Ireland, whatever occurs with Brexit. It was stressed at Monday's EU27 meeting that this offer was made only on the condition that the UK respects a level playing field with the EU after Brexit on regulatory, environmental, social and other matters.
No deal is in fact better than a bad deal and the EU refuses to offer anything but a bad deal. It's very simple at the end of the day.
Let's just stop barmy Brexit Join the libdems
In BBC La-la-land 'EU holds firm' translates simultaneously as 'UK intransigent' BBC man in Brussels just been on fake news The EU wants 'talks with no preconditions' Yet 'will not reopen the WA' ? So the EU is being 'very reasonable' while HMG has 'a secret no-deal agenda!' FFS!
My experience!
If only it was just a game.
Quick reminder that the EU have refused to even talk trade - the original false pretext for joining this so-called union
The BBC anti-Brexitry holds firm as the prospect for a No-TV-Licence-Fee Brexit draws closer.
All this performance and we've never lawfully been in the EU! Many are guilty of perpetuating this treason!
Nice to see that people consider it a game! A game that's going to plummet the UK into its worst recession since records began!
The title is so much more appealing then the incredibly longwinded article about f*ck nows Brexit whatever.
Two can only play that game if EU put a UK counter-proposal to the EU27 & parliament, which then thrice reject it. The two positions are current incomparable: ball is firmly in the EU's court and our collective destiny rests fairly and squarely upon their shoulders. Their move.
27 of them in a union working together. England in a union working against the other devolved nations to get what England wants whilst sticking two fingers up to the EU in childish game of 'blink first.' There will be tears before bedtime and it won't be from the EU.
