The sinister din had already started over the weekend when Boris Johnson had sent his chief negotiator to the front in advance. In an interview with the pro-Brexit tabloid “Mail on Sunday”, David Frost stated that Britain does not fear a possible failure of negotiations with the EU. He fully agreed with Prime Minister Boris Johnson that Britain had nothing to fear from a so-called no-deal Brexit. “I don’t think that scares us in any way.”
On course for the attack
On Tuesday, EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier is expected to be in London for the next round of negotiations, in negotiations that have not had a lucky star for weeks. There is no progress on key issues such as some business issues.
In a video address posted Monday, Johnson continues to lobby the European Union. An agreement on a trade deal should be on the table by October 15. Otherwise, there would be no free trade agreement between Britain and the European Union, Johnson announced Sunday night in London. The exit at the end of the year would be largely unregulated, that is, “no deal.” Britain would become a completely normal third country for the EU.
“Go our separate ways”
If we can’t come to an agreement by then, I don’t see a free trade agreement between us and we should both accept it and go our separate ways, “Johnson said Monday, according to pre-released excerpts of his speech. Instead, London is seeking a deal with the EU Australian model: a kind of no-deal Brexit, “a good result” according to Johnson.
Breaking the Brexit deal
To further fuel the conflict, Johnson wants to bring bills to parliament on Wednesday that would openly break with the currently applicable transition agreement with the EU. Therefore, the already terribly delicate rules for the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland should change themselves. The Labor opposition speaks of a “malicious maneuver”, Johnson threatened to “break the legal obligations of Great Britain”.
