        of the talks - rather than their collapse - as a great victory for @BorisJohnson is classic Govian spin. That intensification was inevitable. Johnson's "walk out" was theatre. The real deadline for the talks is 15 November, because any later and ratification becomes impossible...

        The point is that there has been much more progress towards agreement than @michaelgove is prepared to concede. In the EU, they still expect and hope for a deal. And if there isn't one, it's because - they think - the PM will have worked out that there will be massive...

        disruption to UK trade and a hit to the economy even if there is a deal, and it may be better politics for Johnson to blame the EU for that economic damage rather than concede that leaving the single market was always going to bring costs.

        Oh imagine if we had an honest government. P.S No need for the ‘mob’ comment. It’s our Gov that are acting like the ‘mob’!

        🇪🇺🇬🇧 I just spoke to @DavidGHFrost. As stated by President @vonderleyen on Friday, I confirmed that the EU remains available to intensify talks in London this week, on all subjects, and based on legal texts. We now wait for the UK’s reaction.
