Breitbart: EU Makes Threats as Boris to Tell Eurocrat UK Ready to Walk Away Without Deal.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to tell the president of the European Commission that he is ready to walk away from the EU without a trade deal at the end of the transition period.
Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the EU’s powerful executive arm, is in the UK for talks with the prime minister on Wednesday. A Downing Street spokesman told The Times: “He will tell President Von der Leyen that, having waited for over three years to get Brexit done, both British and EU citizens rightly expect negotiations on an ambitious free trade agreement to conclude on time.”
Prime Minister Johnson is also expected to tell Mrs von der Leyen that he will not sign a deal that would force the UK to agree to abide by EU regulations, with a Downing Street spokesman saying he “will likely underline that the upcoming negotiations will be based on an ambitious FTA [free trade agreement], not on alignment”.
The remarks come as the outgoing governor of the Bank of England said that Brexit Britain should not follow Brussels on financial regulations.
“It is not desirable at all to align our approaches, to tie our hands and to outsource regulation and effectively supervision of the world’s leading complex financial system to another jurisdiction,” Mark Carney told the Financial Times. MORE
What kind of system is this in which its worse than an exorcism to get out of?
Every day its exposed as a grand lie, a slave marrying the slave owner.
First exit; then trade agreement. It’s the best way.
The E U is small potatoes in the big picture.
London is still the the equal of America’s “Wall Street”.
the real question is: can England survive w/out Euro support?
the answer is: well … duhhhhh
have been for centuries … matter of fact, made a state policy out of pillaging the rest of Europe for a long, long time
The question I am eager to have answered: Will the bust of Churchill be reinstalled at #10?
The leftist Euroweenies are stalling, trying to keep Brexit from happening somehow. They don’t want a trade agreement, they want a failure to exit.
