‘Running scared’! Brussels terrified UK will storm out of Brexit talks over EU’s demands
SENIOR figures in Brussels are “running scared” because they realise Britain is likely to walk out of Brexit talks over the EU’s “ridiculous” demands.

The revelation by an MEP on the Brexit monitoring group came as Michel Barnier attempted to bully Britain into remaining under EU control in the single market.
The EU’s chief negotiator claimed that there will be border checks on British goods and “no frictionless trade border” if the UK leaves the single market and customs union.
But the UK Government dismissed his threat as a “negotiating position”.
The panic in the cash strapped EU about a “no deal” outcome follows recent evidence from former British Chamber of Commerce director John Longworth that Britain would benefit by up £150billion a year even without a deal putting the UK in a very strong position for the negotiations.
The assault by the EU’s chief negotiator coincided with a push by Remainer groups in Britain, led by the CBI, to force Britain to stay in the single market and customs union for an extended period.
If this happens the UK will be forced to accept uncontrolled immigration from the EU, be ruled by Brussels bureaucrats through the European Court of Justice (ECJ), have to pay billions to the EU each year and be barred from having free trade deals with the rest of the world.
