EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said today “the EU continues to work for an orderly Brexit and an ambitious future partnership with the UK that should include a close economic relationship.”
Separately, UK opposition Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn visits Brussels today and warned that “crashing out of Europe with no deal risks being a national disaster.” Corbyn also urged EU to “do all they can to avoid a “no-deal” outcome, which would be so damaging to jobs and living standards in both the UK and EU countries.”
European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schina said today that “keep calm and keep negotiating,” but he also noted “we are ready for all scenarios.”
