EU Nationals' Rights To Be Guaranteed

The UK will tell Brussels next week that it will guarantee EU nationals living in Britain the rights they currently have, and aim to treat them “as fairly as they have been to this point”.

Whilst Britain wants the cut-off point for citizens’ rights to be March 29 this year, when the UK notified its intention to leave the EU, it is expected to accede to EU demands that the date should be Brexit day itself in 2019.

This is the state of play according to the FT and, assuming the UK doesn't have a change of government before next week, is likely to be the starting point for the long process of Brexit negotiations.

Clean, soft, hard such a choice!

It's almost as though no one knows what they want or how to achieve it!

Barnier Trolls The UK

Michel Barnier, the EU's Brexit negotiator, has trolled the UK by reminding everyone that:

"I can't negotiate with myself"

Fear not Mr Barnier, the UK will probably ask you stand in for it whilst it gets its act together!

Delay To Brexit Negotiations? Quelle Surprise!

Tusk Nails It - Can't See The Beginning, But Can See The End!

We don't know when Brexit talks start. We know when they must end. Do your best to avoid a "no deal" as result of "no negotiations". #GE2017

Weak and Unstable Government Batting For Britain

In case anyone has forgotten, Brexit negotiations are scheduled to begin on the 19th of June.

Britain will be on the back foot thanks to the weak and unstable government bestowed to the country by Theresa May!

S&P Nails It!
