A plan which has just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University
I'm sure they are but they'll probably still want to avoid no-deal, especially for the sake of Ireland.
I've been talking to a few people in the know in Brussels.
There's total bemusement over the condition of UK politics, the ingrained respect for Britain has vanished, probably for good.
And any goodwill the EU had, and there was plenty, seems to be evaporating too.
The basic problem is that its impossible to negotatiate with a country which is so politically unstable.
A deal was agreed after a lot of hard work and now its been unilaterally rejected by the UK.
Why should they go through that again? Incidentally, the backstop was a UK proposal.

The dominant view in Dublin and Brussels is:
1 The UK will probably leave with No Deal
2 The UK will quickly return to the EU to negotiate an FTA
