The whole business is an incredible sign of weakness.

Inability to make changes when you are one of the biggest members of a group is poor beyond words.

Building a company that has become a global player in a fairly closed shop would have meant that you would have backed off years ago with that approach rather than make your place.

Leaving has been a sign of weakness not strength and at present the UK is sitting in some form of vacuum. I just hope that someone sees the light in time rather than have these amateurs fronting the negotiations.

Britain has stressed repeatedly that it is not asking the EU for a better deal than it has given other nations, but Brussels has insisted it will only offer a deal with strings attached.

One UK negotiating team source said: “We wanted to see an agreement this month. It’s clear from the EU side that’s not going to happen.

“No trade deal has to be the working assumption, because that’s what we have to prepare for. But it doesn’t mean it’s what we want or are working to make happen.”

Anyone else noticed that those with the least to add are the most frequent Posters :)

UK and EU negotiators began the latest round of negotiations in London on Monday, but remain deadlocked on the stumbling blocks of fishing rights, so-called level playing field guarantees, governance of the deal, and the role of the European Court of Justice.

Nothing to do with coronavirus.

Op yes it's the money merry go round.

[alphorn] 22/7/2020 09:23

UK abandons hope of US trade deal by end of year. Officials blame slow progress on coronavirus pandemic as negotiators disagree over key issues. Blame it on the leaves.

Don't worry cheshire - focus on Italy or someone else and keep your head in the sand.

[grahamite2] 22/7/2020 09:22

No indeed, Investtofly. It's all a loads of cobblers, like the Democrats' unceasing efforts to find something or other to impeach Trump on. Pathetic more than anything else to see these bad losers.

Must add, but he will be the one laughing all the way to the bank.

cheshire #725. I would worry about yourself.
There will be as many EU, US and Chinese entities holding whatever UK rights and properties that they may wish to buy. You are in some dreamland if you believe otherwise.

[investtofly] 22/7/2020 09:08

2 for the price of 1?

[portside1] 22/7/2020 09:06

He is the new chairman , not ceo that will go to another failure

[investtofly] 22/7/2020 08:59

So Lloyd's getting a new ceo. Must have been a failure somewhere else.......No different than The Premier League where you get the sack for being a TOTAL FAILURE then another Premier League team gives you the same position instead of looking for NEW BLOOD with NEW IDEAS

[portside1] 22/7/2020 08:58

Op no rns on the news of. Bundenberg the dud

[smartypants] 22/7/2020 08:56

Is everything going to plan Minister?

UK govt abandons hopes of US trade deal this year.

The United Kingdom government is no longer hopeful it will be able to strike a post-Brexit trade agreement with the United States before the end of the year.

According to sources, the government blames the slower-than-expected progress towards a deal on the coronavirus pandemic.
"Is it going to happen this year? Basically, no," one offical stated.

In June, UK International Trade Secretary Liz Truss said that there is no deadline set for reaching a trade deal with Washington and insisted London will not rush into an agreement.

All the time in the world.........
