The blame game is not new for those following the Brexit process, but it has resurfaced at a critical time for their future relationship.
Government minister Michael Gove told Sky News on Sunday that there was a less-than-50% chance of a deal being reached. Earlier this month, he had assigned it a 66% probability.
The blame game is not new for those following the Brexit process, but it has resurfaced at a critical time for the future relationship of the European Union and the U.K., which voted to leave the bloc in 2016. In order to still ratify a deal before the end of the year, the political compromises would probably have to be struck within the next three weeks."Let's see if the EU appreciates the importance of reaching a deal and the importance of moving ground," Gove said, adding that the ball was in Europe's court.
"With just 11 weeks to go until the end of the transition period, time is running out. In order to still ratify a deal before the end of the year, the political compromises would probably have to be struck within the next three weeks," Berenberg said in a note on Monday morning, assigning a 30% probability a EU–U.K. deal.
