I agree. It seems that the EU has got the back up of so many people, the Brexiteers who want a clean break are prepared to scupper any kind of deal at all with Brussels, which is a shame, given that we are looking to do trade deals with the rest of the world.
So it looks like we are heading towards WTO and no deal. I hope all those who have made Theresa May's life a misery with all their claptrap about 'soft Brexits', 'cliff edges' and the like are satisfied. Had they supported her against the hard liners instead of trying to avoid Brexit altogether in defiance of the referendum result, we would have had a proposal for the EU long ago.
However, this is not the end of the world, we can make this work. Unfortunately, without any kind of deal, there will be some casualties.
