The current “negotiation” farce by Boris and his pals only serves to further diminish the UK’s standing in the world. This isn’t some silly game to be played by Eton schoolboys with a highly inflated view of their own importance.
We’re talking about the future of peoples’ jobs, the economy and planning for the future success of both the UK and Europe. Offering a deal that you know the other side won’t accept is either an act of supreme stupidity or a deliberate ploy to end up with no deal.
