The European Union's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, has said he does not want to consider the chance that talks on the UK's exit from the EU could collapse.
He was speaking after his UK counterpart, David Davis, made clear the threat to walk out was genuine if the EU's "divorce bill" was too high.
EU ministers on Monday gave Mr Barnier the green light for talks to start in June, after the UK election.

"No deal" was not an option, he said...

... Asked a second time what he would do if the British walked out of the talks, Mr Barnier said there would be moments of tension but things had to be put in perspective. "The new partnership is what's important. Nobody should lose that perspective," he emphasised.

A much needed outbreak of common sense it seems, for now anyway. Cue Juncker popping out of the woodwork to stir up more tensions...
