    Stringing the trade negotiations out while leaking as much "negative" information as possible about how dire things will be post split seems to be the only objective of the EU at the moment...almost as if they are deliberately attempting to undermine the will of the people?


    Surely the EU wouldn't attempt to meddle like this would it? :D


    People need to get over themselves. There wont be a second vote and we will be leaving the EU.

    What is this "will of the people" anyway? What do they will?

    The EU want to keep everything in the open, the UK Gov want to hide it. Who therefore is the most trustworthy?

    If the EU really do "want to keep everything in the open" as you put it, please tell us how much exactly the EU want in what is referred to as the Brexit "divorce" bill?

    I can point you to their detailed breakdown of what things they think we'll need to pay for. Can you point me to anything from the UK side?

    Stop waffling and tell us how much the EU demand. In £ or €, we don't mind which.

    Why would Barnier entertain such a meeting? Farage is a political nobody, and an active pain-in-the-real in the European Parlimanet. He was leader of UKIP without being an MP, where both he has resigned and UKIP has disintegrated. What sway or benefit will a discussion with him bring?

    What's Farage even going to say? Why do we still give him air time?

    Why not? Barnier met with Clegg who's a nobody. A nobody who promised a referendum when he thought he might win it, as I recall, but now wants to overturn the result.

    It depends on what treaties we're actually leaving. The formula is clearly spelled out. As said, current figure is €60, Vs our figure of "spin on it.

    I don't get it though; are you claiming the EU doesn't want to be open, or are you trying to distract from May wanting to keep everything hidden or just engage in petty point scoring?

    Could you please point out where it is that the EU have stated this figure?

    Wasn't he once the UK's Deputy Prime Minister?

    He also used to be an MP.

    In discussions with Davis. Like I said; they've published a document explaining how they'll calculate it, once the UK let's them know what's happening.

    Can you explain why team UK don't want to publish their economic investigations, claiming they don't want to weaken their negotiating position, when that statement already weakens their negotiating position?
