Looks like the EU are closing ranks. Exactly opposite to what the Brexits predicted.

Worth repeating that negotiations haven't started yet.

I fully support the EU in this strategy, and I'm eagerly awaiting the British government to publish the strategy showing there is an amazing plan, but that they can't tell us what it is.

Mrs May appears to be one to take a considered approach. Picking her moment to react carefully. All this baiting from within the EU is becoming very childish. One can only assume out of frustration.

Seems as if keeping themselves in line maybe an issue. Spanish appears to be making them a problem. Blankly put. The UK does not have to accede to the condition. What does the EU then do internally to rectify this.

If the EU is such a bloody wonderful entity, why are they insisting their citizens get to remain in the UK?

One would have thought they would want then to return to the Eden of their wonderful mother/fatherlands.

The Gibraltar clause in the negotiations document effectively means any deal is highly unlikely.

Like in battle, the initial plan very rarely survives first contact with the enemy.

Interestingly, this strong EU stance (which I understand btw) can easily be used by May to achieve a big majority in these elections.

So in a way their proclamations are strengthening the single voice they have to deal with!

Politics.It's a funny old game.

The strong EU stance is nothing more than them saying that they want the UK to continue funding their project because they can't afford to pay for it themselves.

It looks like some of them are heading home.

The figures, compiled by NHS Digital, prompted medical leaders to call for more reassurances to European workers about their future in the UK. A total of 17,197 EU staff, including nurses and doctors, left their posts in 2016, compared with 13,321 in 2015 and 11,222 for 11 months in 2014

Good to see one of Britains holiday destinations reporting good news.

"Spain’s economy continues to turn in strong growth, making it one of the fastest-expanding in Europe.

Preliminary figures from the national statistics institute show gross domestic product rose by 0.8 percent in the first three months of this year from the previous quarter.

It was Spain’s 14th consecutive quarter of growth."

That's great news even though GDP per capita is still less than it was in 2007. Even better, they've reduced the youth unemployment rate to 41%.

Looks like Macron will win as well........ so the hoped for EU meltdown is not going to happen and we can look forward to tough negotiations with a united front from the 27. They won't give a fig about May's huge parliamentary majority after the election either. If only we could wind the clock back.....we can look forward to years of uncertainty and worry now. The awful truth as well is I reckon loads of the Brexiteers didn't give their vote a second thought.:mad:
