Juncker wades in. And shots fired.

". A No Deal Brexit would lead to a collapse of the UK and a clear weakening of the roots of growth on the continent."

lesechos.fr/monde/europe/b…

Juncker: "I do not accept this 'blame game' of pinning the eventual failure of the negotiations on the EU.

"If that's the case the explanation is actually in the British camp because the original sin is on the islands and not on the continent.

Juncker:

There's a risk that the EU's future relations will the UK will be "less intimate than with Canada".

To tunnel or not to tunnel?
A tunnel by any other name would smell as sweet.

So are the officials going in the tunnel or not?

1/
.@DanielBoffey & @simontaylor71 were first to break the news that EU-27 ambassadors had given go-ahead for tunnel talks.



2/
But what's the tunnel? Secret, intensive talks between officials with no briefing or leaks to EU-27 ambassadors or MEPs for its duration.

EU Commission:

"Michel Barnier had a constructive meeting this morning w/ Steve Barclay.

On that basis you can assume they have exchanged ideas and they discussed many different things. "

Refuses to go into details as MB briefing ambassadors & EU needs to formalise position.
Commission asked if there is hope for a Brexit deal. Spokes says she won't go into emotions but...

"We are working towards a deal because that is our determination

If there is a will, there is a way because otherwise people would not be working on this. "
Commission spokes says that Tusk, who was earlier cautiously optimistic about deal's prospects, Ireland and Varadkar, and the commission have been constantly in contact.

Adds that they are all "on the same page"

Simon Coveney speaks after briefing war between EU and UK ends in truce. He met Barnier this evening.

"I believe that the prime minister wants to find a way of doing a deal. We believe him in that.

1/
"We want to find a way of getting a deal too but certainly there are some in the UK who seem to be planning for a general election ahead of trying to plan to get a deal - In context of some of the pressure that has been put on and some of the commentary that we’ve seen
2/
To be honest with you we are just ignoring all of that. Domestic politics in the UK is really a matter for Britain. What we are focusing on is trying to close a gap between two negotiating teams

My latest @telegraph comment: This may well be the EU’s last chance to avoid a no-deal Brexit. But will they take it?telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/…
Thread ->
Boris Johnson's future as PM may hinge on whether he can avoid having to request a three-month extension on 18 October.
Brussels may now be strategising on the basis that, if they grant an extension, a @UKLabour government, intent on stopping a no deal #Brexit, could well come to power - and such a situation may work to Brussels' advantage.

1/ We are absolutely sick to death of people saying "the 17.4 million people wanted this, the 17.4 million wanted that." We are part of that 17.4 million and we didn't vote for a chaotic no-deal brexit. #brexit
2/ no doubt some brexit voters (a small percentage) wanted no deal, but others were promised a bespoke UK deal or something akin to 🇳🇴 or 🇨🇦. There was no WTO4UK campaign that we recall.
3/ if you discount from the 17.4 million all those who wanted various forms of a deal, there isn't even a majority for a no deal brexit. That isn't to say that the UK shouldn't leave, but that information should inform the type of new relationship we have.

1/ As some readers may know, I did a lot of academic work on comparative intergovernmental relations, including how federal systems deal with ‘mega-constitutional’ issues like top-level constit reform. #Brexit is a mega-mega constit reform.
2/ Any mega-constit reform only happens effectively if it can be accepted as legitimate, by those unhappy with the outcome as well as those happy about it. That means the process by which it is reached is crucial. This is ‘loser’s consent’.
3/ Each side needs to know what it’s seeking and have broad support for its goals. It has to say what it means, and mean what it says. Clarity and consistency are key to getting a good outcome.

As a #leavernow I have undergone a radical process of DeEducation and thanks to the resultant intellectual brexpihany I now have depth ignorance of a true Brexpert accordingly I would like to take to task the scaremongering remoaners who continue to pedal #ProjectFear THREAD
The CBI claims the UK car industry could face extinction after #Brexit but the CBI are just the representative body of British industry who lobby on behalf of manufacturing industry I have never worked in manufacturing so know its just #ProjectFear independent.co.uk/news/business/…
The city of London is full of remoaners deeply unhappy at #Brexit city lobbying groups keep pretending their businesses will be hurt and good jobs will be lost but As a #leavernow I say it is #ProjectFear so it must be because I say so uk.businessinsider.com/city-of-london…

1. New round of #Brexit talks in Brussels today & #Prexit behind us, let's take stock of what EU papers are saying in Ep 100 of 'Nothing Has Changed.' (Thread.)
2. France's @LesEchos says TM is "increasingly fragile." Notes, "Clearly, chances that outstanding Brexit issues are resolved" in this round of talks "are close to nill." lesechos.fr/monde/europe/0…
3. @LesEchos: "The increasingly fragility of TM is a subject that's preoccupying the minds of EU leaders, who prefer to negotiate with a strong leader."
