Brexit analysis: Crucial reason Boris Johnson is poised to walk away without Brexit deal

BORIS JOHNSON may be in a better position to walk away from EU trade negotiations without a deal than previously thought, according to trade experts.

Post-Brexit trade talks are set to take place at break-neck speed over the next few months after the UK shut down the EU’s plea to extend the transition period. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that he would rather walk away from negotiations than make the Brexit process last even longer. While some commentators have claimed this is just a front and the Government is actually very keen to seal a deal with the bloc, others have suggested that recent events mean the UK no longer needs such an agreement.

At the beginning of the month, The New York Times explained how some analysts have questioned if an EU trade agreement is still the best for Britain in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

London bureau chief Mark Landler and London correspondent Stephen Castle wrote that a no-deal outcome “now seems entirely plausible”, and could be best for the Government.

They explained: “Far from pressuring Mr Johnson to plead for more time, the pandemic is reordering the global economy in ways that have led some to question whether an agreement with Europe even makes sense for Britain anymore.

“With Mr Johnson under fire for his chaotic handling of the virus, the compromises he would have to make with Brussels might be too great for his embattled government.”
