EU didn’t believe Boris Johnson’s ‘madman’ no deal Brexit bluff
European Union negotiators did not believe Boris Johnson’s bluff that he was prepared to pull the UK out of the bloc with a no-deal Brexit, Michel Barnier has revealed. The EU’s former Brexit negotiator has said he knew the former PM was not serious about his “madman” claim to be ready to exit without a trade agreement with Brussels. In scathing comments, Mr Barnier also said Mr Johnson’s ministers “did not know” or understand the consequences of Brexit. The French politician also backed Sir Keir Starmer’s plan for a veterinary deal to help ease trade barriers – but dismissed Labour’s plan to go through Mr Johnson’s Brexit deal “page by page”. “From the very first day, the UK ministers not only underestimated the consequences of Brexit – they did not know the consequences of Brexit,” Mr Barnier told the Financial Times. The ex-negotiator criticised then PM Theresa May for ruling out any membership to the single market or customs union from the outset, and said Mr Johnson made “a huge mistake” by imposing deadlines on Brexit. “He had no time.”
