BORIS Johnson will tell the EU’s three top officials tomorrow that they need to “swiftly conclude” a free trade agreement (FTA) with Britain or he will walk away from the negotiating table.
In what amounts to a take it or leave it offer from the Prime Minister, he will demand that the EU stops its foot dragging in negotiations and works out a deal consistent to the ones it has with other countries which will not tie Britain into its laws and the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice or force the UK to surrender its fishing waters. The blunt message will be delivered at a video conference with the President of the European Council Charles Michel, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von Der Leyen, and the President of the European Parliament, David Sassoli.
It comes as new research by the Centre for Brexit Policy (CBP) has revealed that the Conservatives would lose all the Red Wall seats they gained from Labour in December if they go soft on Brexit.
Mr Johnson’s robust approach follows a major diplomatic victory on Friday when the EU caved in to Britain’s demands to intensify the talks over July and accept that there will not be an extension to the transition period.
