Will UK Govt walk out of EU trade talks next month, and say two sides will trade on WTO terms from January? Prospect growing as it uses Sunday papers to pile pressure on EU ahead of next round on 1 June, in hope of extracting concessions on level playing field? 1/3
UK scaling up “no deal” preparations (again). @michaelgove told Sky’s @SophyRidgeSky on Sunday a deal will require “a degree of flexibility” from EU which he’s sure they will “appreciate they need to show.” 2/3
But don’t rule out collapse of talks in June followed by @BorisJohnson rescuing them in autumn. Deja vu all over again ENDS
