LONDON - The United Kingdom needs a new EU divorce deal and a new negotiating team including prominent Conservative Brexit supporters and the Northern Irish Democratic Unionist Party, Conservative leadership candidate Jeremy Hunt said on Tuesday. Hunt said the draft withdrawal deal agreed by Prime Minister Theresa May with the EU in November needs to be renegotiated, adding that the Irish backstop could be changed. The EU has refused to reopen the withdrawal agreement.

“What we need to do is to have a new negotiating team. In that team needs to be not just the government, but the DUP, the ERG. I think you should have someone from Scotland and Wales,” Hunt said, referring to the European Research Group of Conservative lawmakers who favour a clean break with the EU.

“If you have proper representation in your negotiating team from other voices... I think you can then give Brussels confidence that they are talking to someone who can deliver a deal.”

JeremyHunt - aren't you embarrassed or ashamed of your flip flopping and expedient stances!!

女鞋要女孩去做!

Yeah that negotiation team needs publicly shamed at such a pathetic deal,how much on wages and perks did the tax payer have to pay for that 💩 🤷🏻‍♂️

well will that be another 3 years !

LOL, negotiate with who, the US? The EU already has a deal with he UK, signed by the UK PM.

The EU have already and repeatedly said that this is it. No more negotiations. Sorry Jeremy ...

I think Scotland & Ireland will back to EU. English tricks by just hundreds liers worked on Indian farmers & Iranian lords so you got dozens trillions dollars but that time is gone. Fishing, Planting potatoes & playing rural games will be good for you.

It would seem the UK needs a new vote on staying or leaving the EU. Seems too many voted 'against' staying without a clear understanding on exactly what the consequences were. Seems the breakup is harder than staying.

is this a joke?

hmmm

Jeremy Hunt is not the right person to hold the office of Prime Minister, he represents one of the ugly faces of Toryism.

Why don't they just leave and then negotiate. Stop wasting other peoples valuable time. Too many self interests.

Brexit party must be included

What a laugh!, EUROPE has said yesterday that there is ONLY the 1 deal on the table, the existing one!, and not enough time for renegotiation!!

So long as the new 'negotiating team' includes Nigel_Farage then I think we would get the best deal for the UK, otherwise we would end up with a NoDeal Brexit!

negotiations are over....why cant any of them understand this

Another political party doing it too?

U.K.’s Main Parties Suffer a European Election Drubbing Over BrexitBritish voters delivered stunning blows to the country’s two main political parties in European elections, underlining the growing polarization over the effort to leave the European Union but signaling no obvious way out of the Brexit deadlock. spoiler: it can't. Both Tories and Labour did not fulfill the peoples' mandate. They both will suffer in the next elections. Give the Lib-Dem a chance. It will fragment...Liberals similar to your Democrats, Labour and Greens had a larger % of the EU vote than Brexit and Conservatives...approx 54%. With Farage' and backers under investigation wait and see what happens next!

Theresa May calls it quits and no one knows what's next for UK and BrexitWith British Prime Minister Theresa May leaving her post before a Brexit compromise was reached, there are lots of questions remaining about what comes next for the United Kingdom. Obviously the guy from Dumb and Dumber will take over and leave without a deal at all, and that'll be fun to watch Trump is hiring. 😆 Good riddance.
