EU warns Britain heading for a no-deal Brexit

STRASBOURG/BRUSSELS - The European Union warned on Wednesday that Britain was headed for a damaging no-deal Brexit, with London’s ideas for solving the contentious issue of the Irish border still unlikely to unlock a deal just six weeks before Britain is due to leave.

A majority of EU lawmakers later voted for an extension to Britain’s scheduled departure date in a resolution that is not binding but which has political weight. “If that is the case, the summit will end with nothing,” an EU diplomat dealing with Brexit in Brussels said. “If there is to be a deal, it must be prepared to a large extent in advance. It is too technical to leave to the leaders at the last minute.”

“I am not emotionally attached to the Irish backstop,” Juncker said. “I have asked the prime minister to make, in writing, alternatives,” he said, calling it a safety net to avoid a divided Ireland after Brexit. In an at times bad-tempered debate underscoring general weariness on the tortured issue of Britain’s pending departure, senior EU lawmakers took jabs at the noisy contingent of British eurosceptic deputies in the chamber.

Boris needs to listen. This is a grave danger for the future of a united Britain.

Beware of the Panda in the room & Far East speculators sharpening their knives for Brexit Bonanza day bragging they will put to shame the one billion George Soros made on Black Wednesday & force interest rates up to double figures😱 and a begging bowl to Trump for help.

stopbrexit before the UK govt wastes any more of THE PEOPLE's money on ridiculous schemes:

That’ll be all the fault of the EU, then. They’ve clung to this ridiculous and, for the U.K., absolutely unacceptable WA. They were never willing to agree to anything that didn’t hobble the U.K., making it unable to fend for itself outside of the EU. We must leave now on WTO.

That's not helping JCJ....

Good. Better than being ruled by unelected globalists
