Brexit trade talks may not begin until March, Brussels has said...

The prime minister has insisted the UK was ready to start negotiating on February 1.

But the European Commission said today it would "take some time" for the bloc to agree its position.

Indeed Boris said on Sunday that he will get a US trade deal first and then négociant one with the EU.

This demonstrates that the UK holds all the cards and the EU is desperate for a deal.

Maybe Johnson will listen to an ex-useless Minister and try this instead: Boris Johnson should negotiate trade deals with individual US states, an ex-trade secretary will say today

And once those really successful negotiations have been completed maybe he'll try on a country by country basis with the EU as these people are stupid enough to try it...

[BlasterBates]

The negotiations will begin when the EU has decided and the UK will be informed.

WGAFF?

Should be a piece of cake once Johnson does what he's told.......

Steven Mnuchin, the US treasury secretary, has threatened the UK with tariffs if Boris Johnson presses ahead with plans for a new tax on American tech giants.

If that's not holding all the cards then what is? I mean the U.S. of course.
