Brexit will not get done by 2021, EU chief negotiator admits in leaked recording that blows hole in Boris Johnson promise
Brexit trade negotiations cannot be finished in the timeframe claimed by Boris Johnson, the EU’s chief negotiator has privately admitted – blowing a hole in the prime minister’s big election promise to “get Brexit done”.
In a leaked recording obtained by The Independent, Michel Barnier tells a private meeting that the UK’s 11-month timetable to wrap up trade talks by 2021 is “unrealistic” and suggests negotiations will drag on until long after the end of next year.
“With regards to this agreement, we will not get everything done in 11 months. We will do all we can – we won’t do it all,” Mr Barnier can be heard telling a group of senior MEPs at the closed meeting in the EU capital this week.
The recording sparked consternation from Mr Johnson’s critics back in the UK, with the prime minister accused of “lying to voters” about Brexit and “playing the British public for fools”....
A spokesperson for the Conservative Party declined to comment on the revelations in the recording, but opposition parties reacted with fury.

"In a leaked..." Der gute Barnier hat es wahrscheinlich selbst durchgestochen, um Johnson zu schaden.
Heute in den Tagesthemen (!) ein Bericht über Grimsby, eine Labour-Hochburg, die für Leave stimmte. Die befragten Arbeiter, die seit Jahrzehnten Labour wählen, wollen dieses Mal die Tories wählen "to get Brexit done". Okay, die Heseltines und Majors, die den Brexit bekämpfen, machen das bestimmt wett. :-)
