Well, you've said that before, Mr K, but I will remind you again that the EU did not get the £100bn they wanted and they've accepted less than half of that. Judging by Labour's comments during the Phase I talks, they would have capitulated.

The only reason a lot of the public are not confident the negotiations are going well is because they are given minimal information by the government. This is necessary because of the way the EU conducts itself.

What most people do not understand is that the EU needs us and as time passes, they will start to get anxious about doing a deal. When that time comes, the government will be ready to lay more cards on the table.

The government is playing the long game, and with good reason.
