EU chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, comments
- "More than before, the clock is ticking"
- UK has consistently rejected the idea of an extension to the transition
- Have started making progress in post-Brexit trade talks
- UK expressed desire to make tangible progress by the end of June
So far, his comments are your typical Brexit remarks i.e. emphasis about progress, but lacking in details and any real substance to suggest that there is a deal in the offing.
Couple that with the UK still being adamant that they will not extend the transition period even if there is no progress by the end of June, the clock is still ticking.
