Bettel's anger highlights a bleak truth: the EU27 just wants Britain to goLuxembourg PM’s exasperation is shared by EU officials and national leaders Looks like we all want the same thing. Agreed, the uncertainty is crucifying EU economy..anything that ends the uncertainty is welcome at this stage. Especially in the absence of any new proposals from UK.

I bet they can’t believe their luck that we did all these things for them.
