This is the Week for an agreement between the UK and the EU - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " David Frost has declared that this week is make-or-break for trade talks with the EU if the UK is to avoid leaving the transition period with no deal. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog thinks the most important development today was the fact that the PM has stated that a deal has to be done by October 15th otherwise the UK will leave on a NO DEAL BREXIT, or Australian terms as stated by the PM.  Thus the EU NOW knows that it must deal this week or lose any chance of talks.  There were reports that the President of the EU would stand down the Brussels head of the EU delegation and that the EU leaders would take over, the EU President must act quickly or they could lose a trade deal with the UK. The date for that was September 16, the EU might not have the time they think, this is not the May Government and PM Johnson's might not give the time the EU wants, the starting gun has gone off, let's see who blinks first.
