When the Downing Street Cat isn't around, the mice dance.

Brexit negotiations took a sudden step backwards Thursday afternoon Downing Street said, after furious French lobbying pushed the EU to make late demands. France was far from isolated among the 27 member states’ representatives in advising Barnier that in several key areas he was close to

THERESA May tonight hailed a 'new dynamic' in the push for a Brexit deal that can deliver prosperity to Britain and the rest of Europe.

"France is not ready to grant a post-Brexit agreement on any condition," warns the French Prime Minister from a distance, visiting the fishermen of Boulogne-sur-Mer. Let’s keep our cool, ”the Foreign Secretary of Ireland, the country most to fear from Brexit, asks them all. Some now believe that so many concessions have been made by the EU that one would have to ask for a new negotiating mandate from the 27 capitals to imagine going further.
