EU on May's Brexit Plan - Update 4 - Post Brexit

Guardian: Reports " Barnier questions May's Brexit demands in white paper response..EU’s Brexit negotiator evokes concerns over smuggling, red-tape and putting European companies at a competitive disadvantage  "

Lets Get Real:

The EU is playing politics, it wants more concessions out of the UK, they watch the UK media, print and TV and understand how there are deep divisions with the Conservative Party and the rest of the political parties, with the exception of the Liberal Democrats, they do not turn up for important votes.   The UK PM has to be firm, she must convince the EU that they are dealing with another Margaret Thatcher, a new Iron Lady.   The clock is ticking for Brexit, the PM might have to walk away, the UK voter should be told the results of such a development, then they are ready. 

EU on May's Brexit Plan - Update 3 - Post Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " Barnier takes an axe to May's Chequers blueprint just hours after she pleads for the EU to drop its 'unworkable' demands on the Irish border "

Lets Get Real:

The EU is hoping that the UK makes further concessions, they see the weakness of the PM at home and hope to force the UK to take the EU offer when it comes to the UK leaving the EU.  There plan would mean the UK leaving the EU in name only, the UK would be stuck in the Customs and the Single Market ( this blog supports that, but only if it benefits the UK, and can get through the House of Commons ).   PM May has to be tough, she has to give the impression that the UK will walk and walk away with our money.   Time for the PM to show that she is the new Iron Lady. 

UK Foreign Secretary on Brexit Deal - Update 2 - Post Brexit

Sky News - Live Reporting: Reports in its 3.0pm post the following remarks by the new Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt on a No Deal with the EU, " "It's very important that the Europeans that we are negotiating with know that we are prepared for it, that no deal is better than a bad deal, and that we will only sign up to a deal that is right for Britain. "

Lets Get Real:

Finally the UK is getting tough with the EU, the EU must understand that the PM has one card that can trump them, that is the UK leaving with NO DEAL.    The EU must understand and the UK PM is serious about such a move, then the EU might relax its lines and have prober talks with the UK.   As this blog has stated, it would like to see the UK in the Customs Union and the Single Market, but only on OUR terms, talks are good, surrender is not an option. 

The EU and Brexit - Update - Post Brexit

BBC News: Reports " Michel Barnier has said Theresa May's plan for a future trade relationship with the EU could weaken the single market and create burdens for business.  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK PM has to be firm with the EU, the White Paper based on her Cabinet Agreement is the only way forward, the House of Commons is split in to different factions.   As recent votes have shown it may take Labour votes for any UK - EU agreement to get through the House of Commons.   There is no much time for long discussions, there needs to be an agreement by October before the Agreement can be voted on by the UK Parliament and the 27 that makes up the EU.  The clock is ticking for a NO DEAL BREXIT.
