PM Johnson’s ‘central scenario’ is ‘no-deal Brexit,’ EU diplomats say | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s “central scenario” is a no-deal Brexit and he has no intention of renegotiating the withdrawal agreement, according to European diplomats. | |
“It was clear UK does not have another plan,” the Guardian quoted a senior EU diplomat as saying after a meeting between David Frost, the government’s new Europe adviser, and EU diplomats. “No intention to negotiate, which would require a plan,” the diplomat said. “A no-deal now appears to be the UK government’s central scenario.” | |
However, a senior government source said on Tuesday that Britain is “ready and willing” to do a Brexit deal with the EU. “We want a deal. It’s sad that they don’t want to negotiate with us,” the source said, according to Reuters. | However, a senior government source said on Tuesday that Britain is “ready and willing” to do a Brexit deal with the EU. “We want a deal.
