LONDON/PARIS/BERLIN - After sterling soared and some British newspapers roared at a supposed Brexit victory for Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Europe’s power brokers had a more sobering message: the basic divorce deal is not changing.
Enter PM Johnson, an avowed Brexiteer whose bet is that the threat of a disorderly ‘no-deal’ exit will convince German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron that the EU must grant him the divorce deal he wants. In Berlin, Merkel used a puzzling remark about finding an answer in “30 days” to underscore just how little time remained before the Oct. 31 Brexit deadline and how complex the Irish border riddle was.Johnson, who allowed himself to put one of his feet on a coffee table at the Elysee Palace in a light moment with Macron, lauded Europe for “positive noises” and insisted a deal could be done, possibly in the “final furlong”.
But in Berlin, Paris and Brussels, there was astonishment at the interpretation that there had been a major shift in EU policy. Merkel is keen to ensure that the EU is not seen as being unwilling to talk - but is equally keen not to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement. Rather, as has been EU policy for some time, changes would be addressed in the non-binding declaration on future ties.
Good WTO then
Cool , off you f~ck
But...but...but I thought Boris got this?
Goodbye, adios, au revoir, auf wiedersehen, do widzenia.........EU.
what about Italy's stance ?
The people want a no deal anyway, Macron is a hobbit, Merkel is shaking like a washing machine and Tusk is a conman
Hurry up Halloween! UKIndependenceDay
Has France surrendered yet?
Moi aussi, je dis 'non'.
you should focus on the public change in the dynamic - the EU have not changed their position BUT have publicly invited new propsals from UK. The backstop does not need to go, UK delivers new proposals (difficult for Parliament to avoid that) to October Council ministers who ..
Tusk would say NIE, you’re welcome.
Looks like Europe consists of France and Germany only. 🤔
The British papers are deluded
👍
So then should U.K. Say goodbye , cheerio !
They look ready to absolutely troll the heck out of Boris Johnson
Hahahahhaha nein nein nein
Boris has a long way to go
The Fourth Reich says no.
Not in thousend years ! UK will demonstrate Europa again...
Keep saying no, we don't want you at all.
We already own Southern Ireland and most of London with Scotland near might as well push our luck what with the snowflakes on our side. They could well be saying it, bet their thinking it.

The Fourth Reich
nyet ?
Interesting how you chose to gender brexit
Very telling image, who is there to represent the voices of Holland, Belgium, Greece, Italy, Hungary, Estonia, Portugal etc... I suspect the negative stance is not shared with the entire EU but, alas, not every country has the chance to voice their objections to re-opening talks.
Where the heck is Ivanka, here?
FAKE NEWS ! Merkel said : '30 days' !!!!
The UK wants to be sovereign and that's a problem for the EU that wants all of Europe under a single flag , ruled by the Muslim courts in Brussels .. Prove that wrong
