    You obviously haven't read the whole article. Davis asked the EU to explain the legal basis for their financial demand. It appears that he didn't get an answer.

    Indeed I didn't, because it was paywalled.

    Did Davis not U-Turn, though? He's agreed to discuss the settlement first, just like he was adamant he wouldn't do barely 5 weeks ago.

    If you have a problem with the Guardian

    I wouldn't say I have a problem with the Guardian, I just don't think it's worth the paper it's printed on.

    It appears nearly everybody in Britain agrees :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    It's pure biased nonsense providing only an oblique angle into politics. For example it would never seek to understand the damage done to impoverished citizens of very poor EU nations from their losing Doctors to the already highly privileged UK, and not consider why we don't train enough of our own Nurses from the vast ranks of youth that would dearly love such an opportunity.

    It doesn't actually matter what order things are discussed as the UK are saying that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.

    If the Guardian actually represented even a small chunk of mainstream thinking it wouldn't be going bust. Circulation is approx 150,000, less than a tenth of even the hated Daily Mail.

    Agreed.

    The Guardian is very much geared towards the better educated and those on a higher than average social grade. It's a limited target audience.

    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Jaguar Land Rover is doing well, not because of Brexit, but because their imported CEO has improved JLR's product range.

    By the way, Tata owned Jaguar Land Rover are investing heavily to make cars in the Euro-zone: http://iitm.be/JLR_Euro

    Are you trying to imply that readership levels are related to quality? That the Daily Mail is a better paper?

    I have a question re: the order of negotiations.

    If UK does end up walking away, I assume that anything already agreed becomes null and void?

    It does seem like there are 'all or nothing' comments in the EU legislation.

    It has been said a number of times by both sides. On the Divorce "Nothing is agreed until everything agreed"
    During the joint press conference last night the phrase was repeated by Michel Barnier.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    You think over 17 million people have "absolutely no stake in society"?

    You shouldn't fret so much over the economy, it'll be fine. Don't let EU officials & the likes of The Guardian scare you.

    If the Guardian actually represented even a small chunk of mainstream thinking it wouldn't be going bust. Circulation is approx 150,000, less than a tenth of even the hated Daily Mail.

    I think the price may contribute reading share too, the Guardian is £1.60 (?), how much is the DE and DM?
