EU sources: no point carrying on 'pointless negotiations'

EU sources: no point carrying on 'pointless negotiations'

EU sources tell me that no decision has yet been formally taken about Michel Barnier’s movements once he comes out of #COVID19 quarantine (Friday). He had been expected to go to London to continue negotiations but this is not confirmed. Talks are NOT going well, say EU sources /1

EU sources describe as ‘very serious’ the fact that -so late in November - the European Commission President stood before Parliament as she did today and said she couldn’t say for sure if there would be a deal with U.K. or not .. /2

EU sources say there’s no point carrying on ‘pointless negotiations’ which is why Mr Barnier’s travel plans have not been confirmed BUT his expected travel to London hasn’t officially been cancelled, either. Interesting to see if UK chief negotiator David Frost makes statement /3

Was always clear EU cut off date would be before UKs due to MEP etc voting. So they either are the deal breakers or makers. Either way Boris happy as can blaim EU for no deal or gets movement uk wants

I take with a grain of salt what the BBC reports regarding Brexit.

None of this "news is having any affect on the EURUSD we have been sideways so long. We are basically the same price as July, this 5 month consolidation is great for scalping the fringes though.

An EU source apparently said the British negotiators are just sitting there laughing at us and won't budge on any of their red lines. Seems at odds really the British have offered a very fair and lucrative deal for both sides
